23、and looked away. I had no idea whether it was his or stolen or whether he even knew what a cell phone was or not, but he clearly wanted to be free of it, because it clearly troubled him.”Billions of people across the world use cell phones.

For inspiration, you could read some books. In the books of JR.R. Tolkein, Bilbo Baggins finds a ring that can make him
31、disappear. Of course, theres also poor Harry Potter, who used his invisibility cloak (隐形斗篷) to hide from danger. Now that youve got some ideas, its time for the hard part: building the cloak. To do that, you have to give up science fiction and turn to real science. An invisibility cloak has to cheat
32、 anything or anyone who might be watching. In order to understand how something can be seen, its important to understand how we see. Human beings can only see objects that reflect (反射) light waves. These waves enter the eye and are then processed by the brain. However, if an object doesnt reflect li
33、ght, then the waves dont enter the eye, and the brain doesnt process. So building an invisibility cloak is building something that doesnt reflect light.

34、n invisibility cloak. They had been inspired by the work of a British physicist, John Pendry.

40、e seldom great art.Now, to everyones surprise, Ang Lee, director of a number of excellent films, has made a martial arts film called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The result is a masterpiece.The film belongs to a type of Chinese story called wuxia. These stories tell of nineteenthcentury martial a
41、rts masters with unusual abilities. Wuxia films are popular in China, and they are now popular in the west too.The story takes place in the early 1800s in China. A man and a woman, Li Mubai (played by Chow YunFat) and Yu Xiulian (played by Michelle Yeoh), both masters of the martial arts, are in lov
42、e with each other. But Xiulian had a fianc who has died. Because this fianc was a good friend of Mubai, Mubai feels that he cannot marry Xiulian.

46、是,曾经拍了许多优秀影片的导演李安,现在也拍了一部名为卧虎藏龙的功夫片。它是一部杰作。这部影片属于叫作武侠的一种中国故事。这些故事讲述的是19世纪那些有着非凡才能的功夫大师。武侠电影在中国很流行,现在在西方也深受欢迎。这个故事发生在19世纪早期的中国。一男一女,李慕白(周润发饰)和俞秀莲(杨紫琼饰)两位都是功夫大师,并且爱上了对方。但是秀莲有一个已经去世的未婚夫。因为这位未婚夫是慕白的一位好友,慕白觉得他不能娶秀莲。当有人把秀莲的宝剑偷走之后,慕白和秀莲决心把宝剑找回。情节发生在北京的屋顶到中国西部的大漠。正如在古老的武侠故事中一样,影片中的人物不时在空中跳跃并做出许多优美的动作,观众看到这些时都发出了惊叫。不同寻常的是,这部电影最吸引我们的是女性人物。我们最关注秀莲这个角色,她勇敢、善良、坚强。美丽的章子怡扮演玉娇龙,一个并不像外表看起来那样善良的年轻女子。娇龙和秀莲的打斗场面是现代影院中最激动人心的部分。但是谁也不会忽略周润发,他真是很了不起,他使剑和使枪一样潇洒。他和俞秀莲之间的浪漫戏很感人,因为他们的眼神传递了所有的爱意,这种爱是无法通过语言来表达的。这种电影很少能在电影院看见了。去看一下卧虎藏龙吧!它会让你的心因为它的美感而激动地跳跃。
