Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasnt moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, hes an old guy!
17、 For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “Hows it going？” But he did something differenthe actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in a brief conversation.I thought i
18、t was odd. I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you dont give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live， ” and someone would reply, “Have a grea
19、t day！” But that wasnt the end.He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked the customers in the eyes. “I surely want to thank you for shopping here today， ” he told them. “You have a great day. Byebye.”The looks on the faces of t
20、he customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gestureand in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling.Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.Who was that guy? It was as if

25、ng out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to bui
26、ld a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型)
27、that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesnt show the baking process, the inventor says that once the piz
28、za is printed, it can be ready to be consumed (消耗) in 7 seconds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. Thats because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years.
29、Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be rea
30、dy for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!12.
