He never talked about himself as an of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more or able. What he looked for others was a “good heart”.

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper by which to judge people, even though I don’t know precisely what a “ good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

He has been many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he my reluctance(unwillingness) to be seen with him during our .If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how I it. I think of him I complain about trifles(轻视), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.

Seeing with Sound

According to a British news report,some blind people may finally get a chance to “see”. 1.Dr. Peter Meijer,a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands,has developed a new system called the vOICe.The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh,I see.” Meijer’s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired people all over the world.

A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera,stereo headphones and a notebook PC. The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds.2.

The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images. Everything has its own unique sound.3.The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调).And a built-in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on. What the vOICe users have to learn is which sound goes with which object. Meijer says that he is counting on the brain’s ability to adapt.

4.Within two weeks,most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors. They are also able to identify certain situations,including whether the lights in a room are on or off. 5.Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the vOICe,bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time.

A. Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas.

B. It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones.

C. However, they are not learning to see with their eyes;they are learning to see with their ears.

D. The vOICe system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals.

E. Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”,but not the information “carrier”.

F. To evaluate the new system’s effectiveness, a number of visually impaired people were chosen to test the v0ICe.

G. Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as they walk.

Use phones respectfully

You probably spend more time with your smart phone than any other possession. You take it everywhere — to school, to meals, and even to the bathroom, 1. But we have to learn to use our phones respectfully or at least without offending others around us. Here are some tips for smart phone usage. Take a look.

Use “do not disturb” instead of “vibrate(振动)”

Loud vibrations in your pants are disturbing. People can hear your phone vibrate, depending on how severely it vibrates. 2.

Tell others what you’re doing

Sometimes, you will be in a situation in which you need to use your smart phone. 3. If you don’t, people will think that you’re either interacting with someone else or just getting bored.

4.

Respect others’ privacy as text and e-mail senders by not letting what they type appear on the home screen of your phone when you receive a new message. While you’re at it, use a password to make sure the information you share with others stays between you.

Ask permission to swipe(滑动)

When someone hands you their phone to look at a photo, this doesn’t mean you can swipe through all of their photo albums. 5.

A. Don’t use the text preview feature on your home screen.

B. It is difficult to ignore and distracts people from whatever they are doing.

C. You should use your smart phone secretly.

D. They probably want you to see the one photo they hand to you, not every photo they have taken.

E. Of course, a smart phone is a great way to keep in touch and share life events.

F. So it’s thrilling to look through all their photos.

G. Just tell people what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
