The Nokia E-Cu concept phone doesn’t need to plug in; it charges from any heat source. Designer Patrick Hyland says it can even workoff the warmth of your pocket. The first time“it would take approximatelyseven hours to reach full charge, then after that it’s continuously charging bykeeping the phone in areas between 86 degrees and 104 degreesFahrenheit. ”That’s one hot pocket.He’s put a thermo generator(热偶发电器)inside the phone that transformsheat into electric potential energy. To better conduct the heat to that littlepower plant in your pocket, the E-Cu(E for energy, Cu for copper)is coated bycopper backing with heat sinks like those normally used to keep electronics from overheating. Nokia doesn’t have current plans t o build the phone, so for now it remains a concept. But Hyland says he’s open to anyone who wants to cooperate.For Americans this technology would certainly be convenient. It would also save a bit on energy bills and waste. ”Annually, unwanted phone char gers produce 51, 000 tons of waste in addition to the greenhouse gases created by the production of the electricity needed to charge them, ”Hyland says. So a charger-free phone is also a green phone. Though adapting our plug-in habits would help a group of people, most cell phone related energy use comes from leaving your charger plugged in all day unnecessarily.The real potential for charger-free cell phone technology is what it couldenable places whereplugging in isn’t an option, like rural areas in th e developing world.Cell phones are spreading faster than power lines and bringing with them countless opportunities, aid and health advances. A phone like the E-Cu, if it ever comes to be, would enable all manner of expanded aid and development by phone projects. Let’s hope Patrick finds a partner.26.

What is the best title of the text?A. Designer Patrick HylandB. Nokia Concept Phone on SaleC. Charging Your Phone from PocketsD. Benefiting from Phone TechnologyBManagers and office busybodies might be keen on a clean desk—but it seems that in terms of productivity, they could have it all wrong. A messy desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking, say researchers from Germany.The researchers found in a series of linked studies—using a messy desk and a messy shop front—that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. That is, visual and mental clutter(杂乱)forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. For instance, famous thinkers and writers such as Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl have been notorious for their untidy desks.“Messy desks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as the problem-solving approaches they seem to cause can boost work efficiency or enhance employees’creativity in problem solving, ”say the authors.Oddly, the effect seems to work most on conservatives—political liberals are less liable to be worried about mess in the first place, say the researchers.“Business and government managers often promote‘clean desk’policies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity. ”writes a researcher, Jia Liu of the University of Gron ingen, “This practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and messy environment can clutter one’s mind and complicate one’s judgments”.“However, not all evidence supports this conventional link between a messy environment and a messy mind”. The scientists tested people’s response in various messy environments, including a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language task reminded people of messiness.The authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking.“They categorized products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a T-shirt that depicts a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers.31. According to the text, a proper way to lead people towards clearer thinking is to.A. make a list of prioritiesB. simplify the tasks at handC. follow famous peopleD. mess up their mind32. Why did the author take Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl for example?A. To tell readers untidy desks can make you as famous as celebrities.B. To convince readers that untidiness is not all that bad.C. To inform readers of one way to success—untidy desks.D. To attract readers and show the author’s wide range of knowledge.33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. A messy environment will certainly lead to a messy mind.B. A clean environment will do great harm to work efficiency.C. People tend to clear up the mess before thinking clearly.D. All people are not in favor of“clean desk”in the office.34. The underlined word“detrimental”in Para 3 probably means.A. disadvantageousB. usefulC. beneficialD. accessible35. What is the main idea for this passage?A. The messier the desks are, the more efficient the employees are.B. Messy desks in the office can have a positive effect on employees.C. We should make our office messy to improve our work efficiency.D. Clean desks can boost the employees’ productivity and creativity.答案解析1.【解析】选A。
