Electric Backpack
Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don’ t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home.
Lawrence C. Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. , have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and-rescue operations, and scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system(GPS)receivers, night-vision goggles, and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack’s electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer’ s load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome and his colleagues in the Sept. Science.
The backpack’ s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer’ s back, and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7. 4 watts.
Unexpectedly tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits in response to the pack’ s oscillations, so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versions of the backpack.
The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers, and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. For the rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren’ t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually Just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!
According to Paragraph 4, what does Rome plan to do?
选项
A、To make the backpack more comfortable for the wearer.
B、To put the backpack on the market.
C、To test the advantage of the backpack.
D、To promote the backpack in a newspaper or on television.
答案
B
解析
第四段最后一句的意思是:Rome计划将这种背包商业化,即推向市场。A项不是Rome的计划,C、D两项在文中均未提到。D项的意思是为背包做广告。
