scientists have labored to reproduce this feat（技艺）. in 2013. they succeeded a team of british and czech scientists, led by dr tomas cizmar. say they have created a rea-life tractor beam. like the kind from star trek . which uses a line of light to attract objects. at least at a microscopic level light control techniques have existed since the l970s. but this is thought to be the first time a beam has been used to draw objects towards a light source usually when microscopic objects are hit by a line of light. they are forced along the direction of the beam after many years research. dr cizmars team discovered a technique that allows for the radiant force(辐射力) of light to be changed and to use the negative force to draw out certain particles（小颗粒） dr cizmar says that even though it is a few years away from practical use. the technology has huge potential for medical research in particular. the tractor beam is highly selective in the particles it can attract. so it can pick up particles that have specific characteristics. such as size or composition. in a mixture eventually, this could be used to separate white bloodcells. for example, dr cizmar told bbc news it has been a primary plot design in science fiction tv programs and movies to allow objects like spaceships to be trapped in a line of light but dr cizmar said this particular technique would not eventually lead to that a transfer of energy happens in the process on a microscopic level that is ok. but on a large level it would cause huge problems a large objectcould be destroyed by the heating, which results from the massive amount of energy necessary to pull it.24. what is this passage mainly about? a the application of light control techniques in modem society. b the uses and limitations of a scientific

of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. but this can be a problem.ive spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. it became clear early in the process that the suggestion to ” follow your passion was flawed, for it lacks scientific evidence. however, it doesnt mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work. the reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated.passion is earned. different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy，respect，competence，creativity，and a sense of impact. in other words，if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood，dont seek the perfect job，but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.passion is elusive (难捉摸的）.many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion , but still end up unhappy in their work. the problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. as you become increasingly

and handbags, time and talent. the renewed desire to share shows up in a variety of examples: a car-sharing service has had a 70 percent membership increase since the crisis occurred. some companies encouraged his employees to take vanpooling. governments are putting bikes on the street for public use. how-to-swap web sites are increasing quickly. the economy reflects the way americans have cut back, especially on daily items: department store sales dropped 1.3 percent in june. people are not buying cars, and as a result, auto sales dropped 27.7 percent last month. they are not paying others to do what they can do themselves home depot reports increased attendance at in-store do-it-yourself clinics. and although paint sales are down in general, according to sherwin-williams, individual consumers are still buying. when tom burdett needed to cut some tiles at his home outside annapolis, he refused to buy expensive tools. so he asked his neighbors and friends for help. sure enough, someone had just what he needed. and when that friend needed help fixing a satellite dish, burdett volunteered to help. the sharing mind-set is not new to the american culture, but many americans give it up when the nation changed from an agricultural society to an industrial one, said rosemary hornak, a psychology professor at meredith college in raleigh, n.c. they moved farther from their families and did not have time to connect with new neighbors because they worked so much, she said. neighborhood conversations tell more of the story as the movement grows organically (持续地) in communities across the washington region and the nation. on one street in arlington, for example, neighbors are collecting their separate money for mulch (覆盖料) and dividing it among themselves. 52. what is the text mainly about? a. introducing a new way of life. b. sharing in the financial crisis. c. how to reduce t
