My stmach was in knts, but I decided t head ut anyway, thinking I might run int her if l traveled t Tiberius. where we had planned t g tgether.
“Why dn’t yu travel with us?” ne f the backpackers ffered. They were experienced
adventurers wh wuld wrk fr a few mnths, save, then travel fr as lng as they culd. Their current plan was t explre the Middle East and Eurpe in three mnths while wrking in Lndn.
It seemed risky t travel with strangers. but my instinct said yes. Fr the next tw weeks, I
explred Israel with the backpackers and learned t trust my instincts in all types f new and interesting situatins. When they hk a ride, I tk the bus, but when they wanted t steal int
the King David Htel’s swimming pl, I led the way. The wrld pened up t me because I
chse t travel alne. I jined cmplete strangers, wh becme clse friends. Years later, ne cuple frm the backpacking grup even flew frm Sydney t Phenix t be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me cnfidence in all areas f my life. Since then, I've backpacked alne acrss Suth Africa, sky-dived frm 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even mved acrss the U.S. with n jb lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends. I bumped int the wman I was
suppsed t meet. Thugh I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn’t picked up the phne.

One third f adults ver 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half dn’t even
have Internet access at hme. In San Francisc, “the center f tech”, 40% f lder adults d nt have basic digital literacy skills.
This situatin is becming appalling as ver 10, 000 Americans turn 65 every single day.
By 2050, 22% f Americans will be 65 r lder. Meanwhile, technlgy is develping very fast. This means that a large number f peple will be unable t prficiently use emergent technlgy. Many peple believe that senirs aren’t required t participate in ur tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed sn. But this is the farthest thing frm the truth. Baby bmers are currently experiencing a different bm: With mre peple getting lder than ever befre, their life expectancies are als increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number f
American peple prjected t live int their 90’s has dubled since 1965.
Hwever. they dn’t have strng financial r educatinal supprt. This is nt a prblem: it’s
a crisis. Mre than half f emplyees ver 50 have been laid ff in what’s being called “frced
retirement”. And few rganizatins are actively helping lder emplyees make the transitin
frm full-time jbs t part-time nes. Fr thse frtunate enugh t be emplyed, 3 ut f 5 lder wrkers experience prejudice.
The easiest slutin is t teach digital literacy. If baby bmers want t survive the
frthcming retirement crisis, they shuld get enugh digital knwledge and skills t perate tday’s tls and tmrrw’s platfrms. With every crisis cmes an pprtunity. Tutring, custmer service, editing, research. bk-keeping, and ther virtual assistance-based wrk pen the drs. But again. digital knwledge is first required t live in ur high-tech sciety and gig ecnmy. S try t get mre nline and navigate the grwing number f sites and apps.
What des the underlined wrd “appalling” prbably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Cnfusing. B. Cntrllable. C. Inspiring. D. Terrible.
What prblem may baby bmers face?
A. Tending t duble their life expediencies. B. A crisis after retirement.
C. Failing t receive gd healthcare. D. Being kncked ut in the future.
What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Ptential industries in the future. B. The features f high-tech jbs.
第4页共8页{#{QQABDYKQggggABJAAQgCEwEQCgEQkBGCCAOBAAIMAIBgRNABAA=}#}

Many wners f electric cars have wished fr a battery pack that culd pwer their vehicle
fr mre than a thusand miles n a single charge. Researchers have develped a lithium-air battery that culd make that dream a reality. The new battery design culd als ne day pwer airplanes and trucks. The main new cmpnent in this lithium-air battery is a slid electrlyte instead f the usual liquid variety.
Batteries with slid electrlytes are nt subject t safety prblems with the liquid
electrlytes used in lithium-in and ther battery types, which can verheat and catch fire. Mre imprtantly. the slid electrlyte can ptentially bst the energy fur times, which translates int lnger driving range.
Fr ver a decade, scientists have been wrking vertime t develp a lithium battery that
makes use f the xygen in air. The lithium-air battery has the highest energy f any battery technlgy being cnsidered fr the next generatin f batteries beynd lithium-in.
The new slid electrlyte is cmpsed f a material made frm relatively inexpensive
elements. cmpared with the past designs. Besides, the chemical reactin in lithium-in nly invlves ne r tw electrns stred per xygen mlecule, while that fr lithium-air battery invlves fur electrns. Mre electrns stred means higher energy.
The new design is the first lithium-air battery that has achieved a fur-electrn reactin at
rm temperature. It als perates with xygen supplied by air frm the surrunding
envirnment. The capability t run with air avids the need fr xygen tanks t perate, a
prblem with earlier designs. “With further develpment. we expect ur new design fr the lithium-air battery t reach a recrd f 1200 watt-hurs per kilgram,” said Curtiss, a researcher. “That is nearly fur times better than lithium-in batteries.”
What cntributes mst t the lithium-in battery?
A. Slid electrlytes. B. Liquid cmpnent.
C. Lithium-in. D. Oxygen mlecules.
What’s the prblem with lithium-in batteries?
A. They burn easily if verheated. B. They are unsafe in prductin.
C. They damage the envirnment. D. They require lnger charging time.
Hw des the authr rganize Paragraph 4?
A. By presenting statistics B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By making cmparisns.
What is the best title f the text?
A. Electric Cars Are Becming Mre Ppular B. Hw Lithium-air Batteries Wrk
C. New Batteries Offer Lnger Driving Range D. What will Be Used t Pwer Airplanes
