To move visual technology into the future, sometimes it helps to make a little noise.
Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating 3-D images, create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.
Since the 1940s, scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation(声悬浮)the use of soundwave vibrations to trap tiny things in midair. The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade. Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3- D printing methods, or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.
Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation. In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack. And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back——a little like the object shown by the floating image is really there Soundwaves create a 3-d display!
Display without a screen is remarkably useful. It means that everybody in the room can see the image——any angle, location——and that's extremely helpful. As a communications system, such a display might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D projection(投影)of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room.
The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room however. So far, this has been done in the research laboratory. We need to push it a little bit harder. We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home. The current system can only show simple graphics, such as a smiley face or figure eight, in real time.
Still, we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology. If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two, it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself. We can't make a TV image that's bigger than the TV --- even a projector has to have a projection screen that's bigger than the image itself. But with a volumetric(容积的)display, a small, portable device might produce a much larger picture. We can imagine in the future, having volumetric displays in watches, for example, that create large images that just project out of your watch
【1】From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to________ .
A.catch very small objects in mid air B.develop 3-D printer's capabilities

【2】What do we know about display without a screen?
A.It has resulted in visual technology. B.It is possible to see the image from any direction.

【3】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Outlooks for the new technology. B.Situations of the modern technology.
C.Praise for the cutting-edge technology. D.Room for the technical improvement.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Hearing Is Seeing——Sound Waves Create a 3-D Display
B.Seeing is Believing——3-D Printing Methods Arrive
C.Advancing Sense of Touch——3-D Images Float in the Air
D.Promoting TV Technology—— Chat with 3-D Projections

If you read The Fault in our stars only to find a young adult romance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters , then you definitely underestimate the power of sophisticated symbolism emotions, and literature John Green offers. I remember someone saying "You don't read a great book; it reads you. " The fault in our stars is one of those books. It gives you the concept of what cancers are like, of how children in particular fight them, reveals and reminds you of your first love in life, always the youngest and the most innocent. I will resist my urge to tell you the plot and spoil the whole story, but I promise you every single page here is worth a great deal of excitement, humor and a bunch of other stuff listed down here which I think are interesting.
The book gives lives to where we find deaths. The joy of living comes in when terminal cancer is nothing more than just, "a side effect of dying", when you can laugh in the misfortunes of disease and say "I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend." The fault in our stars, however, stars with Hazel's "depression" like many of us starts a new day. Thus, Hazel's mother wants her cancer-stricken daughter to have a life, putting her in the Support Group. Later on, Issac and Augustus give her hope and something to believe in. The friendship tied by the shared intellectual curiosity and dreams. The story is so carefully plotted that even though Hazel doesn't go to school like other kids, her life is so in touch with ours. Everyone in a while will feel as if everything goes wrong, that it sucks at being what it's supposed to be. Bad grades, getting dumped, or even having a terminal disease." The pain demands to be felt. " But after all, how long should it take us to give sufferings a break is subject to be viewed personally, since it would determine whether or not we become a type of Peter Van Houten, Hazel's favorite writer in the novel.
John Green also cares about your dreams and ambitions. As you read through chapters, especially toward the end, you will find out Hazel and Augustus have widely different ideas of what they think is a "good life. " Here I find a reflection of my soul in Augustus's, with all his desire to leave a mark on the world. Such a guy he is seeking for glories and meanings of life, fearing most oblivion . Others may find themselves , in contrast , caring not about recognition. They are like Hazel Grace, seeing heroism as an act of noticing and loving and sharing. Both ideas are beautiful and proofed to be fearless to be together despite any mental or physical challenges lying on their way to the pursuit of happiness.
① "Apparently, the world is not a wish-granting factory. " The book embraces the restless, innocent desires of young minds. ② Would you care for a trip to Amsterdam when you're at the 4th stage of cancer to find out what happens after the end of your favorite book? Would you dare to love the dying, to be okay to love when you're dying, or to forgive yourself for hurting those who love you in case you die?③ In the book, you will find John Green mentions about how "some infinities are greater than other infinities, " which means, I think, infinities can be defined, expanded and shrunk. ④ Infinities are created by taking chances, and if we fail while doing so, then the fault is simply in out stars, not ourselves.
Funny, romantic, unputdownable and profound, The fault in our stars is definitely one of the best young adult fiction books in the century. It may touch the readers in many different ways. In here some will find humor, some will find encouragement, and some will find a book as a bond for a new love story. But if you insist that you only want to read a good love story in The fault of in our stars, that's fine too. It's an excellent book that reminds us of those who are important.
