The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.To spread that message, Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geo-tag(地理位置标签), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture.Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the beautiful Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river ride in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother didnt like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”Gallagher said people often stare when shes writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she receives only positive feedback(反馈), “My leg hasnt stopped me from doing anything Ive wanted to do,” she said. “I dont know if its my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, anyway, Ive been able to keep up with people at my age and lead a pretty great life.”Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.24. What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?A. She enjoys her travelling across the globe.B.

Gallaghers Summer HolidaysCEvery year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman,” takes aboard his adapted light aircraft to the skies. However, the 58-year-old Frenchmans daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser white-fronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but mainly for what they suffer from. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “Its a disaster.” he said, “My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story. ”28.

Birdman Guides Flocks to Learn to Fly.B. Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing.C. Birdman Helps Flocks Safely Migrate.D. Birdman Protects Birds From Hunters.DThanks to this new hands-free suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage may soon become a thing of the past. Designed by Israeli company NUA Robotics, this “smart” suitcase can follow you everywhere you go.The carryon suitcase, now a prototype(雏形), connects to a smartphone app via bluetooth. It has a builtin camera sensor that can “see” you and follow you around on flat floors. It comes with an antitheft alarm to prevent someone carrying it away when youre not looking. “It can follow and carry things for people around while communicating with their smartphone, and avoiding bumping into other objects,” explained Alex Libman, founder of NUA Robotics. “Were combining sensor network, computer vision, and robotics. So if you download our app(应用), press the follow me button, the luggage recognizes its user and knows to follow and communicate.”NUA is still testing the products and trying to improve features like speed and customization(客户订制), but they hope to make the suitcase available to customers in a years time. If it proves successful, they want to use the bluetooth pairing technology to automate(自动化操作）lots of other products, like shopping carts at the supermarket. These products are especially meant to be useful to the physically disabled and elderly. “Any object can be smart and robotic,” Libman told Mashable. “We want to bring robots into everyday life.”The Israeli tech company made it clear that the finished product will look just like a common suitcase. Theyre planning to partner with a carryon luggage maker, since the product that makes it “smart” weighs just 2.5 pounds and can be fitted on oldfashion luggage.With NUAs smart suitcase, carrying around heavy luggage isnt a burden. But how their invention will handle tough blocks like stairs? It will be interesting to wait.32According to the passage, the “smart” suitcase _Acan go everywhereBis on sale nowCwas designed by Alex LibmanDcan make our hands free during traveling33If you want to use this free hand suitcase, you must _Adownload the app Bavoid obstaclesClook at it all the time Dcarry a camera34What can we learn about NUA?AIt was founded by Mashable.BIt has improved the features of the device.CIt will make the suitcase available to customers in a month.DIt wants to bring more smart and robotic devices into everyday life.35Where is the article probably from?AA poster.BA website.CA textbook.
