Using microwa
13、ves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves on
14、ly penetrate （贯穿） the skin （low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example） and with no negative effects. To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron （磁控管）. He found that a person will start to
15、feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter （mw. / sq. cm. ） ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1
16、000 mw. / sq. cm. In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector （运动感应器）would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven hea
17、ts up a hamburger, but not the plate its on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. （You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.） While it might be some time befo
18、re homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock（家畜） farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.26. Whi

23、 the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag（曲折的）method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the le
24、ft hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:（1） Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is rea
25、sonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently. （2） Americans, the master of the New World are rebels（叛逆者）.They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are
26、 a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.（3） Forced to do so, they respond by “playing” with the silver. Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of Ameri
27、can innocence（无知）of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders（入侵者）.However, such aler
28、tness（警觉） is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades（刀）. 31. Americans use _ to hold their
29、 fork to pick up the salad. A. the right hand B. the left hand C. both hands D. either of the two hands 32. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to _. A. show their independence of Mother England B. show their disrespect to Mother Engla
