21、 When a computer works on a group of programs, it can get very hot. Cooling the computer can cost a lot. So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.
Large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems. These systems send the heat into the air.
A computer in Holland thinks paying to make the computer work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So the company developed a special device — the e-Radiator.
Boaz Leupe, head of the company, says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains that the energy is used twice — once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don’t have to pay to cool their computers.
Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.
“We pay for the computer using. so, in that way, homeowners get heating for free,” Boaz says. Jan Visser is one of the homeowners. “If you use the computer more, the e-Radiator produces more heat,” he says, “It cannot provide enough heat if you don’t use your computer often.” But he is ready to try it, It’s a great help for his family.
The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃. It says the system could save its users about $440 a year.
【1】Before the e-Radiator appears, usually the heat of a computer ________.
A.is sent into the air B.helps the five homeowners

22、Language is a bridge that connects people. April 20 marks Chinese Language Day in the United Nations. On this day, people around the world celebrate the Chinese language. We invited two Chinese learners to share their stories.
Alex Tani, UK, said that at the age of 13, he started taking Mandarin(普通话) classes at school. “It was a subject that could make the classroom deadly silent because how difficult it was to learn. But when I arrived in China in March, 2021, I found that learning the language could be enjoyable.” He added, “After I moved to Beijing, I lived with the locals. As a language lover, I would try to chat with them in Chinese, sharing details about our daily lives. Sometimes we would also got to KTV together, where the learning took place. As I sang with native Chinese speakers, it finally began to click. This was an environment where I could immerse(沉浸) myself in the Chinese language and culture while still conveying myself.”
Jennifer Holstein, a girl from US, told us, “Since I started learning Chinese at the age of 5, it has been part of my life. At the beginning, it was challenging. After six years of learning, I could not put a sentence together correctly. But I never gave up. To improve my Mandarin, I moved to Bejing and took part in a special language program in a high school. The school day was busy. Each morning we got up at 6:30 and classes ended at 5:15 in the afternoon. We attended listening, speaking, reading and writing classes. Even gym and music classes were taught in Mandarin. Gradually I learned Mandarin quite well. When I had a good command of the language, opportunities started presenting everywhere. And I know my effort was worth it.”

23、This is BBC special English program. Today we are going to introduce a money saved product to you.
A British company has made a new product to help us save money. The product is a wristband that gives us an electric shock if we spend too much money. The wristband is called Pavlok. It is linked to our bank account. It knows how much money we have in the bank. If we go shopping and there is not enough money in our bank account, the wristband makes an electric shock to our wrist. This warns us not to overspend. The company is called Intelligent Environment. It wants to work with banks to help customers with their money. So far, no banks in Britain have said they would ask their customers to wear Pavlok. They could start doing this in the future.
The Pavlok wristband is part of the Internet of Things. This is the idea that everything in our life will be connected to the Internet. The CEO of Intelligent Environment, David Webber, said people liked the idea of the Pavlok. Shoppers would rather get a small electric shock in the store from the wristband than get a big shock later when they see their bank account. Mr Webber said the Pavlok would greatlybenefit the people who cannot stop spending because they have no power or their power is weak. He added that many young people have the “ostrich effect”. This is when people put their heads in the sand and buy things rather than look at how much money they have in their bank.
