9、 when Clara was just 11 years old.

11、th a vehicle full of supplies.

17、ake a picture.Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secon

18、dly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them. So sure are we that well get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic (评论家),John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists

19、make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see.

21、what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a - 4 -loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.“Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a

22、 week by train, “Changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will not make us stronger, happier, or wiser.

29、lding, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will he also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband（腕带）or a ring with a chip instead. They can

30、 perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees.

31、ys the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners（扫描仪） can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe
