    A new device works like a solar panelexcept that it doesn’t harvest energy from the sun. It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.

A prototype(原型)of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It also could power  electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.

The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space. It then uses that difference to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the otherthe generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an  aluminum plate. That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation(隔热材料) to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate. That plate is warmed by the local air. At nightthe top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.

Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in StanfordCalifornia. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diodeor LED bulb. Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. To do thatthe system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.

The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devicessays Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of CaliforniaLos Angeles. This may be useful in polar regions that don’t see sunlight for months at a timeRaman says. “If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darknessthis might be a way. ”

1.What can we know about the new device?

A.It gains energy from the sun. B.It’s been widely used in life.

C.It is cooler than a solar panel. D.It’ll be popular in special areas.

2.What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?

A.Application fields of the device.

B.The developing process of the device.

C.The working principle of the device.

D.Significant effects of the device.

3.How can the device produce more electricity?

A.By putting more insulation around the top plate.

B.By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.

C.By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate.

D.By covering the top plate with a transparent lid.

4.What could be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Device Using the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity

B.A Device Bringing New Hope for Those in the Cold Night

C.The Difference Between a Solar Panel and a New Device

D.The Temperature Difference Between Earth and Outer Space

    Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical Schoolbut poetry is still a big part of his lifenow with a new teacherRafael Campowho believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work. Rafael is a physicianprofessor and a highly respected poet.

Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said. “I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest. ”Not everyone believes that’s what doctors should dothough.

Rafael said“I was afraid of how people might judge meactually. In the medical professionas many people knowwe must always put the emergency first. Butyou knowthat kind of treatmentif it’s happening in the hospitalvery regrettablysadlyresults in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn’t survived the cancer. Don’t we still have a role as healers there?”
