31、mployer “talked turkey” to him. She said, “Your idea would be unfair to our buyers. Think of another way to save money.”A century ago,to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly. Turkeys in the barnyard were thought to be speaking pleasantly to one another. In recent years, the saying has come to mean a

The white man began stating reasons why he should get all the turkeys for himself. But the American Indian stopped him. He told the whi
33、te man, “Now, I talk turkey to you.”Mr. Smith thought of a better idea after his employer talked turkey to him. He was given an increase in pay.

68、t uses human energy to power devices like cell phones, laptop computers, and GPS systems.2Tom Krupenkin, who teaches electrical engineering at the University of Wisconsin and his team want to reduce dependence on costly and polluting batteries.Instead of using batteries for power,they have turned to
69、 human beings and have placed a device in a shoe that collects and stores energy from human motion and turns it into electricity. One part of this device is an energy harvester. It has two small containers filled with thousands of very small drops of liquid. These droplets get pushed back and forth
70、as a person walks and can directly convert it into electric power. Output of this energy is stored in a regular rechargeable tiny battery of the style that we have in cell phones.3The team has also developed a system to permit use of the stored energy by common mobile devices. It does not require co
71、nnections with wires,and can be used to create a wireless signal. A cell phone that uses the wireless “hotspot” from the shoe would use much less power if a wireless telephone network. The devices are about the size of a credit card. Professor Krupenkin says the system is always powered. So unlike a
72、 traditional battery, this energy harvester never needs to be recharged.4The professor says he does not expect this invention to replace traditional batteries. But it will help reduce dependence on them.He says there are a huge number of possible uses for this technology. Professor Krupenkin thinks
73、the technology would be useful for people in rural areas where there is no electrical power.5He notes that it makes a lot of sense for people who depend on devices like mobile phones and laptop computers.
