Julie: We were driving – it was just the two of us – when our car started to veer wildly from side to side For a moment, we thought it was a flat tyre, so we pulled over and got out Then we realized that the earth was still shaking It seemed to stop after a few seconds … and remember we still hadn’t worked out what it was at this stage … then it came back, with a vengeance! I think that’s the point when Paul said, “It’s an earthquake!" The ground shook violently from side to side, really jerky movements, as I remember Then there was some up and down movement I was holding on to the top of the car to try and keep my balance, and Paul was kind of bent double, unable to straighten up or get a foothold on anything And we could hear rocks falling somewhere, which was the really scary thing Anyway, the next thing was these plumes of what looked like smoke, but turned out to be dust, rising into the air That was weird, and I remember staring at them, trying to work out what it was After what seemed like hours, the earth stopped moving and the sound of the rocks faded away It’d only been a few seconds, I suppose We couldn’t move for a few minutes, we were both shaking and I was crying hysterically I’d never known anything like it, but I had absolutely no control over my emotions I was crying so hard that I couldn’t catch my breath Presenter: A harrowing experience You say you were crying Was that out of fear, you think? Julie: No I’ve thought about this a lot I don’t think it could have been fear because, after all, I didn’t start crying till after it had stopped I don’t know what it was All I can say is that there is no time to be frightened at first because you don’t recognize it while it is happening Then, when the aftershocks start … that’s when the fear sets in, because when it starts up again you have a very clear memory of the big one and you expect the aftershock to the same There’s also the worry that the next one could be even bigger I’m told that’s quite rare – that they usually diminish in size – but your brain doesn’t work rationally when you’re gripped by that kind of fear My thought processes in the first few hours following the earthquake were very muddled I wanted to run away, to stay still, to be airlifted, to go and dive into the sea somewhere – I didn’t know what I wanted to I had a really hard time coming to terms with the fact that the one thing you could take for granted – the earth being beneath your feet – couldn’t be taken for granted after all And every time there was a little shake – or a big shake – I had a different response Presenter: How long did you stay there after the earthquake? Julie: We were there for another five days afterwards Presenter: And what were you like during that time? Did you begin to get over it? Julie: Well that was another strange thing The more we heard other people’s stories, the jumpier we became I mean, the aftershocks continued the whole time, so we hardly slept at all It was one thing to be out in the open when it happened, and in a way, I’m glad we were, but back in the hotel, the sounds and the sensations were very different when there was a tremor We seemed to spend the whole time rushing out of the building, waiting for a while, then slowly going back, in twos and threes Until the next one, it was like that day and night Presenter: Julie, it sounds as though you won’t forget it for a long time, if ever We’re glad you’re back safe and sound on terra firma Thanks for coming in today to talk to … (Fade) PART (IELTS) Interviewer: My guest on Technology Matters this week is Jim Davies, a leading expert in the field of IRS or iris recognition systems Jim, perhaps I could start by asking you to explain exactly what IRS is? Jim: In fact, it’s a simple system in theory, one that was first suggested back in the 1930s Basically, it’s a way of recognizing a person by analyzing the pattern of his or her iris This pattern is different for every individual on the planet; even identical twins have different iris patterns The way it works is, you have a camera linked to computer software that can compare the iris pattern it sees with iris patterns on a database; the computer makes a match and then reports on the identification Interviewer: It just provides a report? Jim: No That’s simply the first step An iris recognition machine can be connected to any number of devices For instance, at airports it will be possible for barriers to be opened by a machine, and this will, in turn, speed the flow of passengers through checkpoints I must say, though, I don’t think it’s speed that is the biggest appeal of iris recognition machines – the fact that they are reliable will guarantee their popularity in the future Interviewer: Are iris recognition machines actually being used at the moment? Jim: Oh, yes As a matter of fact, we’ve just completed a pilot scheme in northern England We installed machines at a school there to identify pupils as they came into the canteen That way they could be given their correct meals automatically, which meant they didn’t have to wait around to be served It was a great success! And the kids loved it I think they regarded it as something out of a science fiction film Interviewer: What about adults? Do you think they will be as impressed? Jim: That’s a good question I admit there are many people who feel that the use of iris recognition machines is a civil liberties issue and infringes on their privacy, but I think people said the same thing about the use of X-ray machines at airports, and now everyone accepts them So I’m confident that the vast majority of people will come to see the sense behind using these machines, especially when they realize how efficient they are When they’re properly set up, they take a mere twelve seconds to scan someone’s iris, and of course the customs people themselves are very attracted to the idea because of the time it saves Interviewer: So is it simply a matter of time before we find iris recognition machines everywhere? Jim: Nobody knows as yet just how to widespread they’ll be A lot depends on how quickly the public comes to accept them, and I think the government wants to monitor public reaction before committing itself to the technology Interviewer: What about the costs involved? Jim: The computerized cameras themselves don’t cost a great deal, but the really huge cost will be when we have to register the whole population I can quite understand that the government might be nervous about this sort of expense, although of course you wouldn’t ever have to repeat it on such a huge scale once you’d done it Interviewer: So you believe the future lies with IRS? Jim: I do, yes, primarily because every government wants to be able to confirm identity at places like airports, and iris recognition machines are simply the most effective way of doing this as yet available to us … PART (CAE) Architecture, chemical processes, material sciences – all these faculties are beginning to be touched by ideas which are inspired by nature Where in, the past, man’s inventions have been considered allpowerful, engineers are now turning to nature, over the last 3.8 billion years, has developed a wealth of successful innovations So, over the last decade there has been a new wave of scientific interest in Biomimicry, measures which emulate nature’s genius And we are not restricted to copying the structures found in nature We can also imitate its processes and its systems. One of the most famous products inspired by nature is the sticky fastening, Velcro, invented in 1941 by the Swiss engineer George de Mestral, who noticed how the seed heads of burdock got tangled in his clothes and his dog’s coat Meanwhile, engineers at the Centre of Biomimetics at Reading University, have developed a material based on the properties of wood One of the reasons why wood is so useful to us is that its ability hold nails when they are driven into it This property is down to the structure of hollow cells, and fibres which hold the nail in place The new material uses equivalent fibres made of glass fibres, and resin to hold everything in place The result is a material with the same geometric arrangement as wood, but which has none of the disadvantages of wood – that it changes shape according to moisture levels and temperature The substitute wood has been developed for the post office They wanted a container which could contain threatening packages, directing the blast safely and holding any explosive fragments. But the second realm of Bio-mimetic is imitating not the just physical form of natural substances, but also the processes that take place in nature A perfect example of this is the Sahara Forest Project, which has utilised a processed used by the Namibian Fog Basking Beetle This beetle is able to live in very harsh, desert conditions using its ability to harvest moisture from the air The beetle comes out into the desert only at night and, due to its black shell, is able to maintain a temperature cooler than that of its surroundings The moist breeze blows in from the sea, and droplets of water condense on the beetles shell At sunrise, the beetle lifts its shell, drinks and returns to its hole What is even more interesting is that the beetle has hydrophilic bumps on its shell which attract water, separated by a waxy finish which repels water Consequently, the water gathers in tight, spherical droplets, so that hardly any water is wasted The Sahara Forest Project uses a process which is, in effect, identical to that of the beetle Seawater evaporates from the front wall of the greenhouse to create ideal cool growing conditions, and condenses to form fresh water on the downwind side of the greenhouse. However, just mimicking the structure and processes in nature is not enough, if, in doing so, we create tones of waste Human designs are linear We take resources from the earth, use what we need, and the rest goes to waste But in the natural world, systems are cyclical Waste from one organism goes on to become nutrients for another One scheme which has taken advantage of nature’s cyclical design is ‘the Able Project’ based in Wakefield, Yorkshire Here, everything is recycled and reintegrated into the system Consequently the project is able to turn cardboard into caviar The cardboard is used as animal bedding, and is then composted using vermiculture The worms are then used to feed fish Excrement from the fish is collected and recycled into the system. The age of Biometry is still in its infancy The novel and yet proven ideas which are inspired by nature are attractive to industries But we need to be careful As we lose more animal habitats to development, extinction rates are increasing And with this we lose the wisdom and ideas embodied in these species Already, we’ve seen the loss of the Gastric Brooding Frog, an animal able to turn off its production of stomach acid Had we been able to study this animal before its demise, we could have found a way to alleviate the problems experienced by many sufferers of excess stomach acid THE END Người đề: Nguyễn Thị Hòa Số điện thoại: 0972408833
