Fermi Problem
On a Monday morning in July，the World’s first atom bomb exploded in the New Mexico desert.Forty seconds later, the shock waves reached the base camp where the Italian.American physicist Enrico Fermi and his team stood.After a mental calculation.Fermi announced to his team that the bomb’s energy had equated 10,000 tons of TNT.The bomb team was impressed.But not surprised.Fermi’s genius was known throughout the scientific world.In 1938 he had won a Nobel Prize.Four years later he produced the first nuclear chain reaction.1eading US into the nuclear age. Since Fermi’s death in 1954.no physicist has been at once a master experimentalist
and a leading theoretician.
Like a11 virtuosos.Fermi had a distinctive style.He preferred the most direct route to an answer.He was very good at。dividing difficult problems into small，manageable bits—talent we all can use in our daily lives.
To develop this talent in his students，Fermi would suggest a type of question now known as a Fermi problem.Upon first hearing one of these，you haven’t the remotest notion of the answer，and you feel certain that too 1ittle information had been given to solve it.Yet when the problem is broken into sub—problems，each answerable without the help of experts or books, you can come close to the exact solution.
Suppose you want to determine Earth’s circumference without looking it up.Everyone knows that New York and Los Angeles are about 3，000 miles apart and that the time difference between them is three hours.Three hours is one—eighth of a day，and a day is the time it takes the planet to complete one rotation，SO its circumference must be eight times 3，000 or 24,000 miles.
This answer differs from the true value，24，902.45 miles，by。less than four percent.
Ultimately the value of dealing with everyday problems the way Fermi did lies in the rewards of making independent discoveries and inventions.It doesn’t matter whether the discovery is as important as determining the power of all atom or as small as measuring the distance between New York and Los Angeles.Looking up the answer，or letting someone else find it，deprives you of the pleasure and pride that accompany creativity，and deprives you of an experience that builds up self-confidence.Thus，approaching personal dilemmas as Fermi problems can become a habit that enriches your life.
练习：
1.Fermi’S team was impressed by Fermi’S announcement in the base camp because he could even work out the power of the atom bomb in his mind.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
2.Fermi，an experimentalist as well as a theoretician，won a Nobel Prize for producing the first nuclear chain reaction in the world.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
3.Dividing a big problem into small problems is a talent Fermi had and a talent that has practical value in life.

Cousteau remembered
Jacques-Ives Cousteau died in Paris on 26 June，1997 at the age of 87.His influence is great.Scientists respected his creative engineering;engineers praised his science.Cousteau，who claimed to be neither scientist nor engineer，contributed significantly to both disciplines—and to many more.
Throughout his adventure—filled life，Cousteau challenged definitions.Yes，he was a captain in the French Navy，and early on，a filmmaker and natural storyteller.Later，he became a famous ocean explorer，designer of underwater equipment，expedition leader，author，speaker, businessman，environmentalist，teacher and leader of an influential organization (the Cousteau Society).
A11 who care about the sea—and even those who don’t think much about the ocean one way or another一owe Cousteau a tremendous debt，The knowledge gained as a consequence of his direct contributions, and the strong others，have transformed the way the world thinks about the sea.His stories of encounters with sharks and other fish inspired many to go see themselves.Cousteau pioneered ventures in underwater living in the 1960’s：sub—sea labs where scientists submerged for days or weeks...——the underwater labs similar to Skylab or the space station.His films and television programmes won two Academy Rewards，three Emnies，and the hearts and minds of viewers worldwide for decades.
Showered with honours.Cousteau remarked recently that he thought his most important accomplishment was to make people aware of——and care about——the ocean.Thanks to him.we grew concerned about our growing population and the consequences of overfishing and ocean pollution that threaten the health of the sea，and we were inspired to do something to improve the way things are done.
We shared the sad feeling with Cousteau when Simone，his wife and partner for many years， died and when his son Phillippe was killed in a plane crash.We shared his joy when Jean—Michael，his eldest son.became an explorer and a spokesman for the sea in his own right.We were happy for Cousteau when he began a new family with his second wife，Fracine.And now that his voice of the ocean is silenced，we feel very sad.

Credit card only works when spoken to
A credit card that will not work unless it hears its owner’s voice could become an important weapon in the fight against fraud.
The card requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes using a built—in
Voice-recognition chip.The idea is to prevent thieves using a stolen card or fraudsters using someone else’s credit card details to buy goods online.
A prototype built by engineers at Beepcard’s in Santa M0nica，California，represents the first attempt to pack a microphone，a loudspeaker, a battery and a voice-recognition chip into a standard-sized credit card. 、
They are not quite there yet：the card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card，but it is still about three times as thick.Alan Sege，Beepcard’s CEO，says the company now plans to use smaller chips to slim it down to normal thickness.
The voice card is based on all earlier Beepcard technology designed to prevent fraud in online transactions.This earlier card has no microphone.but has a built—in loudspeaker that it uses to “squawk’’ an acoustic ID signal via a computer’s microphone to an online server.
By verifying that the signal matches the card details.the server can establish that the user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card to hand.The ID code changes each time the card is used in a pre-ordered sequence that only the server knows.
This prevents fraudsters recording the beeps, noting the card details and then playing back the audible ID when they key in the details 1ater.But this earlier technology cannot prevent fraudulent use of stolen cards.The new one can.
The new voice card also identifies itself by its ID squawk，but it will not do this until it has verified the legitimate user’s spoken password.Thieves will be unable to use the card because even if they knew the password they would have to be able to copy the owner’s voice with a high degree of accuracy.
The challenge for Beepcard has been to develop voice-recognition and audio circuitry that can be powered by a mini battery embedded in a credit card.To maximize battery life, the electronics are only switched on when the card is being used.Pressing a button on the card’s surface prompts it to utter “Say your password” in female voice.If the voice-recognition software proves that the password is authentic.it sends its ID squawk which the server then identifies, allowing the transaction to proceed.

练习：
1.How Can the credit card recognize the spoken password given by the user?
A)By using a voice-recognition chip embedded in the card.
B)By using a voice-recognition device built in the server.
C)By fixing a microphone in the card.
D)By fixing a loudspeaker in the card.
2.Are the engineers at Beepcard satisfied with the model they have built? Why or why not?
A)Yes，because the model they have built is a standardized credit card.
B)No，because the model they have built is too heavy.
C)No，because the model they have built is too thick.
D)Yes，because the model they have built is used worldwide.
3.What is the main difference between the earlier model and the new voice card?
A)The new one can identify itself by its ID squawk.
B)The new one Can produce beeps.
C)The new one needs the user to key in ID details.
D)The new one works only when it hears the password spoken by the user.
4.What is the advantage of the voice card?
A)It is safer because it requires more ID information.
B)It is safer because the voice-recognition chip is built in.
C)It.is safer because no one but the user can use the card.
D)It is safer because it can hardly be cheated by fraudsters.
5.According to the last paragraph，what is NOT involved in the process of using the voice card?
A、Switching on the electronics to maximize the battery life.
B)Pressing the “Say your password” button on the card’s surface.
C)The password is verified.
D)The ID squawk is sent to the server for it to identify.

A Phone that knows you’re busy
It’s a modem conundrum：you’re too busy to be disturbed by incessant phone calls so you turn your cellphone off.But if you don’t remember to turn it back on when you’re less busy，you could miss some important calls.If only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you。you wouldn’t have to turn it Off at a11.Instead.it could 1et calls through during spells of relative inactivity.
A bunch of behavior sensors and a clever piece of software could do just that，by analyzing your behavior to determine if it’s a good time to interrupt you.If built into a phone，the system may decide you’re too busy and ask the caller to 1eave a message or ring back later.In a desktop computer, the system could stop instant messages or spam annoying you when you’re busy.
James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Camegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system on tiny microphones，cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity.First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones strongly predict whether your mind is interrupted.The potential “busyness’’ signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left open or closed，the time of day, if other people were with the person in question.how close they were to each other，and whether or not the computer was in use.
The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work.At random intervals，the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from ‘‘highly interruptible’’ to “highly not—interruptible’”.Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors.“It is a shotgun approach’：we used all the indicators we could think of and then 1et statistics ferret out加which were important，”says Hudson.
The model showed that using the keyboard，and talking on a landline儿or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be.
Interestingly，the computer was actually better than people at predicting‘。when someone was too busy to be interrupted.The computer got it right 82 per cent of the time，humans 77 per cent.
Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased towards delivering their message，whereas computers don’t care.
The first application for Hudson and Fogarty’s system is likely to be in an instant messaging system，followed by office phones and cellphones.“There is no technological roadblock to it being deployed in a couple of years¨，”says Hudson.

Sleeping giant
Right now，an eruption is brewing in Yellowstone National Park.Sometime during the next two hours，the park’s most famous geyser，Old Faithful，will begin gurgling boiling water and steam. 1
Old Faithful is not only a spectacular sight;it’s also.a constant reminder that Yellowstone sits on one of the largest volcanoes in the world.If you’ve never heard of Yellowstone’s volcano，you’re not alone. 2 Yet it has erupted three times during the last 2 million years.And one of those eruptions spewed enough volcanic ash and other debris to blanket half the United States.
Yellowstone’s volcano is sometimes called a “supervolcano，” or extremely large and explosive caldera volcano. 3 .This supervolcano formed over a hot spot.an extremely hot area in Earth’s mantle.John Valley，a volcano professor，said that as the crust moves across a hot spot，the hot spot melts a section of the plate moving over it.Forming “one volcano after another.”
The Yellowstone hot spot melts thick continental crust，which may cause catastrophic
eruptions.According to experts the eruptions that created each of the three calderas in and around Yellowstone National Park were larger than any other volcanic eruption in recorded history.The most recent eruption，which happened 640，000 years ago，produced at least 1.000 cubic kilometers of ash and debris，which blanketed most of the western half of the United States. 4
Geological evidence shows Yellowstone has blown its stack every 700，000 years or so.“If nature were truly that regular and reliable，we would be due for another eruption soon,’’ said Valley “However，these processes are subject to variability, so we don’t really know when the next eruption will happen.’’
5 It is the volcanic energy that powers the geysers and hot springs.creates the mountains and canyons.and generates the unique ecosystems that support Yellowstone’s diverse wildlife.
