29、） A London Underground The worlds first subway was built in London in 1863. At that time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. Th

30、e city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day.

Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars.

33、However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot, as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders

37、able computer as a handbag -one thats built out of four-inch squares and triangles of fiber, with tiny computer chips embedded (嵌入 ) in it. It looks, feels and weighs like your typical leather purse. Thats where the similarities end: This bag can wirelessly keep track of your belongings and remind y

38、ou, just as youre about to leave the house, to take your wallet. It can review the weather report and suggest that you grab an umbrella. This purse can even upload your favorite songs onto your scarf. Sure, a computing purse may seem like the stuff of science fiction. But these devices (装置 ), part o

39、f next generation of wearable computers, could become commonplace within a few years. Dupont created new super strong fibers that can conduct electricity and can be woven into ordinary-looking clothes. And the chipmaker developed chip packaging allowing wearable computers to be washed, even in the h

40、eavy duty cycle. As a result, these new wearable devices are different from the heavy and downright silly versions of the past, which often required users to be wrapped in wires and type on their stomachs. Unlike their predecessors, these new wearable computers also make economic sense. When her bag

41、 becomes commercially available in two or three years. Nanda expects it will cost around $ 150, which is the price of an average leather purse. Heres how the bag works: You place a special radio signal transmitting chip onto your wallet. A similar radio in your purse picks up the signal and notifies
