【文章內容簡介】 s it is called Alishan Sacred Tree. B Mobile phone users will be able to charge their devices wirelessly for the first time from 2021. Fujitsu, the Japanese technology pany, has created a system capable of charging quite a few portable electronic devices in the meanwhile, such as mobile phones, digital cameras and laptop puters without the need for cable connections. Electric cars users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology according to Fujitsu, which presented a system at an Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers Conference at Osaka Prefecture University. Claiming to be the world’s first of its kind, the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magic fields between the charger and the electronic device. The system enables wireless charging at distances of up to several metres, with the final aim of installing public “charging spots” on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock. Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories are planning to mercially sell products including the new wireless charging system as early as 2021 but did not make it clear how much they would cost. “This technology makes it possible to add pact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling several portable devices to be charged at the same time without any restrictions（限制） on their position in association with the charger,” the pany said in a statement. The growing popularity of portable electronic devices ranging from iPads to ereaders is expected to fuel a boom in wireless recharging technology developments over the ing decade. Mobile phone users in Japan can currently fill up their batteries using disposable（一次性的） portable plugin batteryoperated devices available at most train stations and convenience stores although phone panies warn any use for too long can damage the phones. The new system displayed by Fujitsu, however, is significantly advanced and represents the next generation of portable recharging systems using highly tuned wireless technology. The pany added, “We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics, including power transmission between circuit boards or puter chips, and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars.” 55. The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is . A. to analyze the current international situation B. to introduce a new technology applied to charging wirelessly C. to encourage customers to purchase the new charging devices D. to warn people against using disposable portable plugin batteryoperated devices 56. According to the new technology, electricity can be transmitted by . A. using batteries B. using the electronic devices C. using magic fields D. using disposable portable plugin batteryoperated devices 57. What is certain according to the passage is that . A. the charging system can serve one portable electronic device at a time B. all the convenience stores in Japan can provide the charging service now C. wireless charging works within a distance of up to several metres D. the new product doesn’t look promising C The story I would like to tell happened about a year ago. I accepted a position in a pany. John, an acquaintance of mine, told me much about the job and took my curriculum vitae (簡歷 ) to his supervisor. I did not refer to him as a friend because at the time we did not take part in activities together outside of work, nor did our wives. The first week was fine. Nothing was obviously strange with John at first until the second week, when our munication began to get a little strange. John began making ments like “ you would have had to pay an employment agency several hundred dollars for a job like this”. I soon fot his words till the next day when he made another similar ment. Right then I started to really pay attention to what he meant. He acted as if I owed him money for helping me to get the job. He began to get short with me and I had only been there for two weeks. He was supposed to train me in building our servers and setting up the entire standard monitor software. Instead, he went through the process so fast that even an experienced worker could hardly keep up. He would not slow down or check whether I was with him or not. If there was something wrong with a server, he would just buzz through the solution and not stop to say anything like “you might want to remember this.” I began to get very frustrated. By the third week I began to get tired of his condescension (傲慢 ). So I began to challenge him in a way that was only one to one. He would respond to a question of mine with a question or just make me repeat it, and then interrupt me. I began to hate him. Later I tried to avoid him as much as I could, so I wouldn’t run into him. He stopped me one day and asked me what had happened. I told him he was very condescending in his tone and manner. He asked me, “What can I do so that you will not feel like this way in the future?” I simply asked him to treat me with the same respect he would like to be treated with. He did it and we got along better gradually. I believed there was hope and eventually we would bee friends and now we are. 58. Why didn’t the autho r refer to John as a friend at first? A.
