He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stay
9、ed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.When the Civil War began in 1841, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the
10、 public for donations and learned how to store and distribute(分发 分配) them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1842, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies.

11、ed Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”In 1849, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully

17、eal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely sto
18、red on our phones, we never get around to looking at them. So sure are we that well get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic (评论家),John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the b
19、eautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskins eyes, theres just one thing we should do-attemp
20、ting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said, Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hands what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from
21、 a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, Changing of places at a hundred miles a
22、n hour will not make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast.

According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to best express their appreciat
24、ion of and desire for something beautiful?A. To speak it out openlyB. To photograph it instantlyC. To purchase it immediatelyD. To paint it directly10.

The underlined word deplored in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. appreciated B. criticized C. favored D. ignoredDTechnology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.No
26、w one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip（微芯片） implanted （植入）in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip
27、 costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.The chip is abou
28、t the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving
29、that hand near a scanner. The chips will he also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband（腕带）or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they ha
30、d an implanted chip.Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while. Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanner
31、s（扫描仪） can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.In the future, people with
