3．Olav Brutolsen was the most terrible of all the Vikings．With just his bare hands he could defeat a bull in a matter of seconds．To make sure people knew just who he was，his helmet and cloak（斗篷）were decorated with his victory souvenirs．On his helmet were over a hundred horns，and on his cloak were a thousand precious stones； one stone for each enemy he had defeated．
In his city everyone would make way for him as he went by，but one day a young man who was absent-mindedly reading as he walked，bumped into Olav．Olav was furious．He scolded the young man and challenged him to a fight to the death．The skinny young man had no choice； all he could do was accept on one condition：
"I can't see very well，and i don't know you，so I'll need you keep your helmet and cloak on during the fight so i can make you out．"
Olav laughed a hearty laugh and accepted the young man's stupid condition，before launching himself at the youth．The boy was swift，and he only just managed to slip through Olav's hands．The same happened each time Olav attacked，and as the fight went on it became easier for the young man to evade the attacks．Although no one could believe how the boy did it，they all expected him to fall down dead as soon as Olav landed the first blow．
But that blow never came．Olav had been attacking for more than five minutes，and after ten minutes he fell to the ground，as if dead．
Many onlookers thought the young man must be some kind of wizard，but the boy，who was a medical student by the name of Virtensen，had demonstrated to everyone how Olav's pride had been enough to make him fall under the weight of his helmet and cloak．When Olav came to，like a good warrior he accepted his defeat．From that day he got rid of the useless souvenirs on his helmet and cloak，and returned to simple clothing．Now wherever he walked he was just like anyone else．Everywhere，that is，except for when he walked on the battlefield，where he came to be recognized not for his many horns or his bejeweled cloak，but for his unparalleled force．

17．When my family moved to America in 2010from a small village in Guangdong，China，we brought not only our luggage，but also our village rules，customs and culture．One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders．Unluckily，this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States．
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant．One time，when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple，the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly．I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly．As soon as I said that，her face showed great displeasure．My manager，who happened to hear what I said，took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive（敏感） Americans are and how they dislike the description"old"．I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife．After the couple heard my reason，they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences，so they laughed and were no longer angry．
In my village in China，people are proud of being old．Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty，and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience．Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience．
However，in the United States，people think"growing old"is a problem since"old"shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well．Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging，and women put on makeup（化妆品），hoping to look young．When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly，they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young．I had told them something they didn't want to hear．
After that，I changed the way I had been with older people．It is not that I don't respect them any more； I still respect them，but now I don't show my feelings through words．

3．Seeing with Sound
According to a British news report，some blind people may finally get a chance to"see"．（71）C 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 （视力障碍） 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．（72）B
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．（73）A The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch（音调）．And a built-in colour identifier speaks out colour names when it is turned on．What the vOICe users had to learn is which sound went with which object．Meijer says that he is counting on the brain's ability to adapt．
（74）F 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．（75）G 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 vOICe．
G．Over time，some users have even learned to"watch"television or"recognize"the outlines of buildings as they walk．
