17、延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given.In December 2022, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as

18、“Wayward Road, Anytown California” under the name “Feeling guilty”.When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974.The note read, “Dear PD, Ive been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always inten

19、ding to pay. Forgive me if I dont give you my info. With respect, Dave.”Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, “Dave” must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest.Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an inte

20、rview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it was given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then, “Dave” could have gotten away

25、e think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result

26、 in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so yesterday that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in post-industria

27、l society has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the digital divide between the rich cou

28、ntries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable thin

29、gs such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved peoples lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, bu

30、t many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and tr

31、ansportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a borderless world. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock bac

32、k. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the

33、international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.28.Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can le

34、ad to _.A. a waste of limited resources B.a slow progress in technologyC.a conflict of public opinions D. a lack of confidence in technology 29.The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should _.A. make their programmes attractive to people B. take peoples essential needs into account C.ensu

37、ow technological trends.D If you could have a superpower, what would it be? Other than flying and communicating with someone from his mind (which, lets be honest, would probably actually be awful), breathing underwater is one of the favorites.

38、nd of the world comes and were all living under water, youll be fine. With this in mind, a student at the Royal College of Art, London has designed a 3D-printed amphibious garment called AMPHIBIO essentially a set of gills(鳃) for this very purpose.

40、opulation. Kameis little device uses a specially designed porous(多孔的) material that fills oxygen again in the water and releases carbon dioxide. It is inspired by water-diving insects that create their own little scuba diving set by creating a protective bubble of air around their body thanks to the

41、ir water repellent(防水的) skin. The technology is easily 3D-printable too, which will be great when we need them together.

So far, the tech has only been tested as a working prototype, not actually on humans, so the dream may have
