That didnt stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than

9、one object at a time. So Leons father, Paul, created a prosthesis（假肢）, using a 3D printer. Now Leon has fingers that open and close. “It was a do-it-yourself, father and son adventure,” says Paul. When Leon was a baby, his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in

10、his early teens. “The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use out of the hand he was born with,” says Paul. As Leon got older, his father looked into buying a prosthetic hand, which can cost as much as $30,000. Paul found a more affordable solution. One day, Paul discovered a video on th

11、e Internet about Robohand, a prosthesis created with a 3D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohands creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3D printer which costs around $2,000 and some materials. Luckily, Leons school had recently purchased a 3D printer and it

12、 offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. “We used a soccer shin guard （护胫）, cardboard, and tape. They cost about $10,”says Paul.

16、avel guideCWhenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf the Internet, well be surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of dietproducts that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products

17、 that harm us psychologically （心理上地）and physically.Its obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or rec

18、ognize the word “diet” in food labels.Whats more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without

19、 resistance and straggle. As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce thes

20、e wonder products. And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Losing weight lies in the

21、power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.28.

Th

25、e survey showed that 22 percent of EU households use only mobile phones, up from 18 percent a year ago, while the percentage of households with at least one fixed line decreased by 5 percent to 72 percent, although the percentage of households with at least one mobile phone remains fairly stable at

26、81percent. Broadband is presenting a rapid upward trend in the EU, showed the survey, which polled（对进行民意调查）27,000 households across the union. Twenty-eight percent of households are now connected to the Internet via high-speed “broadband” links, up six percent from last year, while narrowband usage

27、has dipped by three percentage points to 12 percent.

29、opeans buy two or more telecom products from a single service provider, the combination of fixed telephony and Internet access being the most common. The result may strengthen the commissions case for breaking up telecom giants, whose control over the fixed line networks was accused of hindering（妨碍）
