21、I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned how to make a coin disappear. I’d read The Lord of the Rings and gone into the adult section of the library to be buried in fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found taught basic techniques, and I tried to practice.

At first the magic wasn’t any good. It was just a trick—a bad trick. I spent hours each day running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, a thousand times in a day, and after two weeks my mom got a carpet and placed it under the mirror to muffle (消音) the sound of the coin falling again and again.

One day I made the coin disappear on the playground. We had been playing football and were standing in the field behind the school. A dozen people were watching. I showed the coin to everyone. Then it disappeared. The kids screamed. Everyone went crazy.

A few years later, I staged an underwater escape in the river that flowed through the middle of the campus of the University of Iowa, where I went to school. I stood on a boat in the middle of the river wearing nothing but biking shorts. The sky was dead and gray, and the water was cold at the surface, and colder in the depths below.

Technically, I succeeded. I jumped into the water, sank to the bottom, and escaped from the locks and the chains before swimming to the surface. But it didn’t feel like a success.

23、I went to a small and poor elementary school. I remember the first time a computer showed up in class. It was 5th grade and the computer was an Apple. It was the only computer in my school. This was the 80s and it was a $2600 machine.

Before I discovered computers, I took typing class on old typewriters and I was the kid in class that repaired the typewriters. I remember spending hours trying to figure out what each typewriter needed to fix a stuck key. I was also the Audio/Visual geek （狂热的人）. This meant I was the only one in the class who can thread （穿过）film onto the projector.

Anyway, when this Apple showed up, I immediately opened it. I had to see what was inside. This totally freaked out the teacher but it seemed clear I wasn't going to break it. I quickly learned how to get out of educational games and write things in BASIC. This was all in 5th grade.

I and my 5th grade teacher stayed in touch until her passing. I honestly don't know what I'd be doing if she hadn't done something extraordinary. She let my father and me took the Apple home. I'd spend the weekend programming, reading the massive notebooks. This was a $ 2000+computer in the middle of the 80s — the pride of the school —and they let me take it home. A year later, I came home from school one day and the family car was gone and there was a Commodore 64 left in its place. My parents had sold the car and bought a Commodore.

Now, I think about this crazy journey. I am standing on the shoulders not only of computer science giants, but also heroes like my parents and my 5th grade teacher. Thanks Mrs. Hill, for introducing me to computers even though you were breaking rules. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for bringing a computer home even when there wasn't money for one.

24、   Walking through an airport is never easy. Now imagine doing it if you were blind. That’s the problem faced by Chieko Asakawa, computer scientist and IBM researcher. Asakawa often flies between the US and Japan, making the journey monthly. If traveling alone, she has to be helped at both ends of the flight, which sometimes includes endless waiting. Searching for a better replacement led Asakawa to invent a high-tech suitcase that helps get her to the place she wants to go safely.

“I never relax when I travel alone,” she says. “I always think about what technology will help me travel more easily, quickly and comfortably.” It was this restlessness that led to the AI suitcase.

The idea has been in development since 2017 through research between IBM. other Japanese companies, and Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania. Asakawa says there are hopes to commercialize the suitcase and pilot scheme (试验计划) is planned to use it in an airport, a shopping mall and other public spaces. Though the suitcase is too full of tech to hold any clothes, that could change in the future, she says.

A runner, Asakawa held Olympic dreams as a child, but a swimming accident at age 11 caused her to gradually lose her sight until, aged 14, she became totally blind. As a grown-up she has paid attention to developing accessibility technology. Among her creations is “a Designer,” whose aim is to make designers’ websites more user-friendly, and “IBM Home Page Reader”, the first voice browser to allow Internet access for blind people. Asakawa has won industry and government awards and been introduced into the US National Inventors Hall of Fame.

“The blind people usually use a white cane (手杖) or a guide dog. A smart suitcase will open up many doors for blind people, because we’d be able to go anywhere by ourselves. Without new technology, we can not make our society more inclusive,” Asakawa says. “The suitcase is a great showcase for how AI and technology can change the lives of the blind.”

【1】What drove Asakawa to invent the suitcase?

A．The great commercial value of the suitcase.

B．The suggestion from an international airport.

C．The previous experience of keeping the blind company.

D．The wish to finish her trip smoothly without others’ help.

【2】What can we say about the suitcase?

A．It can hold a lot of clothes.

B．It has yet to be widely used.

C．It has proved unhelpful for the blind.

D．It is ready to be commercially produced.

【3】What does Asakawa think of the suitcase?

A．It will change people’s way of traveling.

B．It will hugely free up the blind’s movements.

C．It will make the public care for the blind more.

D．It will encourage scientists to do more researches.

【4】What is the best title for this text?

A．AI suitcase will help the blind go around.

B．Technology is changing the blind people’s lives.

C．A robot suitcase makes traveling easy and popular.

D．Traveling alone requires much courage for the disabled.
