    Crystal Ear
     One day a friend asked my.wife Jill if I wanted a hearing aid.“He certainly does.”replied
    Jill.After hearing about a remarkable new product.Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if I’d
    ever thought about getting a hearing aid.“No way,”I said.“It would make me look 20 years
    older.” “No。no?!眘he replied.”This is entirely different.It’s Crystal Ear!”
     Jill was right.Crystal Ear is different—not the old. Styled body worn over-the.ear aid。but
    all advanced personal sound system so small that it’s like contacts(隱形眼鏡)for your ears.And
    Crystal Ear is super-sensitive and powerful.too.You will hear sounds your ears have been
    missing for years.Crystal Ear will make speech 10uder,and the sound is pure add natural.
     I couldn’t believe how tiny it is.It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it’s almost
    invisible When worn.There are no wires。no behind—the.ear device.Put it in your ear and its
    ready—to-wear mold(形狀)fits comfortably.Since it’s not too loud or too tight,you may even
    forget that you’re wearing it! Use it at work or at play.And if your hearing problem is worse in
    certain situations,use Crystal Ear only when you need it.
     Hearing loss,which Occurs typically prior to teenage years,progresses throughout one’s
    lifetime.A1though hearing loss is now the world’s number one health problem,nearly 90 percent
     of people suffering hearing 10SS choose to leave the problem untreated.For many millions,
    treating hearing 10SS in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits,expensive testing
     and adjustments to fit your ear.Thanks to Crystal Ear,the“sound solution”is now convenient.
    Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss,and millions more with just a little hearing
     drop-off(下降),can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear.More over, its superior design is
    energy-efficient,so batteries can last months.Crystal Ear is now available to help these people
    treat their hearing loss with a small hearing amplifier(放大器).
    36 Initially the writer did not want t0 buy a hearing aid because

    Technology Transfer in Germany
     when it comes to translating basic research into industrial success,few nations can match
    Germany.Since the 1940s,the nation’s vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream
    of new ideas and expertise from science.And though German prosperity(繁榮)has faltered(衰
    退)over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global
    economic decline,it still has an enviable(令人羨慕的)record for turning ideas into profit.
     Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research
    institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought。after technologies·But
    today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition.Universities are taking an ever larger role in
    technology transfer,and technology parks are springing up all over.These efforts are being
    complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies·
     Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success,but 1t is not without its crities,
    These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic science,
    eventually starving industry of flesh ideas.If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur
    ( 企業(yè) 家),the argument goes,then the traditional principles of university research being
     curiosity.driven:free and widely available will suffer.Others claim that many of the
    programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small
    businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years·
     While this debate continues,new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research
    networks,which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max Planck and Leibniz.Yet it is the
    fourth network,the Fraunhofer Society,that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.
     Founded in 1949.the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’s largest organisation for applied
    technology,and has 59 institutes employing 1 2,000 people.It continues to grow.Last year’it
    swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin.Today,
    there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.
    41 What factor can be attributed to German prosperity?
     A Technology transfer.
     B Good management.
     C Hard work.
     D Fierce competition.
    42 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?
     A It is free.
     B It is profit-driven.
     C It is widely available. .
     D It is curiosity—driven.
    43 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in
     A Asia.
     B USA.
     C Europe.
     D Africa.
    44 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?
     A In 1940.
     B Last year.
     C After the unification.
     D In 1949.
    45 The word “expertise’ ’in line 3 could be best replaced by
     A “experts”.
     B “scientists”.
     C “scholars”.
     D “special knowledge”.
