When they reach the Land f the Lst, where the her must g t rescue his mst belved ty, my earrings are angry that they aren’t treated with the respect they think they deserve. They sn find ut that being made f diamnds cunts fr(有用) very little in the strange wrld where human-made bjects g when lst, because a thing’s imprtance there depends n hw much it’s truly lved.
The Christmas Pig explres a deep attachment t an ld bject. It’s abut the jurney f a by, Jack, wh is a little lst himself, but wh discvers his bravery and ability t lve in a strange new wrld. Of all the bks I’ve written, this is the ne that made me cry the mst, because I was dealing with emtins that run deep in all f us. Lss and change are hard fr children, but acceptance f these unavidable parts f life isn’t much easier fr adults.

A very strange thing happened n the day I finished editing The Christmas Pig. After emailing the final versin t my editr, I set abut clearing ut a cupbard. One f the last bjects I picked up was a small bx. I pened it. There were my lng-lst diamnd earrings. I’ve decided t sell them and give the mney t a charity. I think it was a nice ending fr my earrings’ stry t have them d sme gd fr children in the Land f the Living.

Peple have been curius fr centuries abut a future withut wrk. Sme imagine that the cining wrk-free wrld will be defined by inequality: A few peple will wn all the wealth, and the masses will struggle in a wasteland. A different predictin hlds that withut jbs t give their lives meaning, peple will simply becme lazy and depressed. But it desn’t necessarily fllw frm findings like these that a wrld withut wrk wuld be filled with dissatisfactin. Such visins (想象) are based n the dwnsides f being unemplyed in a sciety built n the dwnsides f emplyment. In the absence f wrk, a sciety designed with ther ends in mind culd prvide strikingly different circumstances fr the future f labr and leisure.
These days, re time is relatively rare fr mst wrkers. “When I cme hme frm a hard day’s wrk, I ften feel tired,” says Jhn Danaher, a lecturer at the Natinal University f Ireland, adding, “In a wrld in which I dn’t have t wrk, I might feel rather different” — perhaps different enugh t thrw himself int a hbby with the enthusiasm usually reserved fr prfessinal matters.
Daniel Everett, an anthrplgist (人类学家) at Bentley University, studied a grup f hunter-gatherers in the Amazn called the Piraha (拉哈人) fr years. Accrding t Everett, while sme might cnsider hunting and gathering wrk, hunter-gatherers dn’t. “They think f it as fun,” he says. “They dn’t have a cncept f wrk the way we d.” Everett described a typical day fr the Piraha: A man might get up, spend a few hurs fishing, have a barbecue, and play until the evening.
Des this relaxing life lead t the depressin and purpselessness seen amng s many f tday’s unemplyed? “I’ve never seen anything like depressin there, except peple wh are physically ill,” Everett says. While many may cnsider wrk a staple (主要部分) f human life, wrk as it exists tday is a relatively new inventin in the curse f thusands f years f human culture. “We think it’s bad t just sit arund with nthing t d,” says Everett. “Fr the Piraha, it’s quite a desirable state.”
28．What des the underlined wrd “dwnsides” in paragraph tw prbably mean?
A．Risks.B．Reasns.C．Challenges.D．Disadvantages.
29．What might Jhn Danaher agree with?
A．Wrk is the mst imprtant thing in life.
B．Peple dn’t knw hw t balance wrk and life.
C．Peple may live a charmed life in the wrk-free future.
D．Higher unemplyment makes life tugher fr wrkers.
30．What can we infer frm the text?
A．In a wrk-free wrld, inequality may n lnger exist.
B．Unemplyment is the main reasn fr peple’s depressin.
C．The Piraha in the Amazn take interest in hunting and gathering.
D．Only prfessinal peple can have a chance t lead a wrk-free life.
31．Why is Daniel Everett’s study mentined?
A．T prve Jhn Danaher’s pinin. B．T shw a future life withut wrk.
C．T cmpare different pinins n wrk.D．T intrduce a special grup in the Amazn.

A team f researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect lng-lasting slutin t ur fg prblem. They have develped a very thin and gld-based tranrent cating (涂层) that can cnvert sunlight int heat, which can be applied t glass and ther surfaces t prevent them frm fgging.
The special cating is develped using titanium xide and gld particles. It selectively absrbs infrared radiatins (红外线辐射) frm the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is pwerful enugh t keep fg away frm the surface f an bject. The cating basically emplys heat t stp fgging. The cating absrbs a large part f the infrared radiatin, which causes it t heat up-by up t 8℃.
Previusly, prducts like anti-fgging sprays (喷雾) create a very thin film f water n the surface t remve fg. The prblem with such surfaces is pllutin. Alng with water, the sprays als attract dirt, dust, il, and varius ther dirty substances, and just a little dirt n the surface makes it useless. Hwever, the new cating repels (排斥) water. Furthermre, the cating is significantly thinner, which makes it mre tranrent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, n additinal energy surce.
Gld might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their cating requires s little that the material csts remain lw. Their cating is prduced with standardized and readily scalable methds, all cst-effectively. Hwever, althugh this prduct can wrk at very lw levels f slar radiatin, it des rely n a certain amunt f light.
The researchers will develp the cating further fr ther applicatins. In the prcess, they will examine whether ther metals wrk just as well as gld. There is n need t fear. Hwever, this wuld cause a car r a building t heat up mre in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent. Hpefully, this grundbreaking prduct will sn be available n the market.
32．Hw des the new cating wrk t remve fg?
A．By reflecting part f sunlight selectively.
B．By keeping cl air away frm the bject.
C．By creating a thin film f water n the surface.
D．By absrbing infrared radiatins t heat the cating.
33．Why des the authr mentin previus anti-fgging prducts?
A．T stress the advantages f the new cating.
B．T intrduce the inspiratin behind the new cating.
C．T prve the difficulty f creating anti-fgging prducts.
D．T explain the reasn fr the anti-fgging cating being ppular.
34．What is the limitatin f the new cating?
A．It is cnsiderably expensive.B．It depends n sunlight t wrk.
C．It takes t much time t prduce.D．It is difficult t clean and maintain.
35．What d the researchers plan t d next?
A．Apply fr a patent fr the inventin.
B．Develp the prduct fr mre practical uses.
C．Explre the envirnmental impact f the cating.
D．Seek a mre envirnmentally friendly material t replace gld.
