17、elp from food pantries when I was a young father with a hungry family. Now, I like to give back.This time I could see that most of the shelves were stocked with boxes and cans donated by stores.

18、o the local grocery store and filled my cart with all the hotdogs I could afford(承担得起).As I was paying for them, I thought of my own childhood. I could see my mom boiling two hotdogs in a pot.

19、le squirt of ketchup. It didnt cost much but to me it was a feast(盛宴), cooked with love, eaten with joy.That memory warmed my heart as I dropped off the hotdogs at the food pantry.

24、stest ice, the 12,000-square-meter rink(冰场) has received a warm welcome from the athletes. It makes everyone skate faster, Gao Tingyu said after he bagged the gold.The secret behind is a new carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) ice-making technology. Speed-skating requires a very flat(平滑的) ice surface. If the ice s

25、urface temperature doesnt change much, the ice stays flatter. Flat ice is easier to skate on. Liquid(液态的) carbon dioxide was put under the ice for the first time. It cooled the ice and kept the temperature changes on the surface within just half of one degree.In events like freestyle skiing and ski

26、jumping, the direction and speed of the wind could largely affect athletes performance. A research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a wind measuring(测量) system using AI technology. Some events only last a few seconds, and the wind is changing all the time. This system allows athle

27、tes and coaches to see wind directly through real-time data on their pads, and decide when and where to jump,the team leader Shao Yun told Beijing Daily.There are many more high-tech elements that boost athletic performance, including drag-reducing (减少阻力的) sportswear, smart beds that massage athlete

31、n, especially with the younger generation. Billions of messages are sent every year. But has this technology really improved interpersonal communication?Being able to send short and written messages by mobile phone has clearly advanced communication. The greatest benefit(好处) of texting is that it al

32、lows us to communicate directly with other people wherever they are, without interrupting them in the way that a phone call would. It allows other people to reply whenever it is convenient for them to do so.Sending a text message,for example to tell where to meet someone,is a simple and effective(有效

33、的) way of communicating. Different from writing letters or emails, people usually only include the key information in a text message. Text messaging is also a cheap form of communication and therefore, it is especially welcomed by young people.However, there are strong arguments to suggest that text

34、 messaging has a negative influence on how we communicate. One downside is that there is a tendency for people to use text messages as an excuse to get out of conversations which might be uncomfortable to have either face-to-face or on the phone. Whats more, people increasingly text while they are w

35、ith other people, suddenly breaking off a conversation and focusing on their phone screens. However, perhaps the most important and worrying downside of texting is the influence that it is having on written communication. Teachers complain that the idiosyncratic(另类的) language of text messages, such

36、as abbreviated(缩写的) words and the use of letters and numbers, has made a generation of young people unable to spell or form correct sentences.
