【正文】 taurant to give it a we were eating our pepper and salt tofu, a young lady named Debra walked in. She wasn’t aware that the place is vegan and was looking for some meat. My wife and I talked up the place and invited her over to try some of our tofu. Debra tried it, nodded and went out.After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in. We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them. Next, Debra said, And we want to pay for their meal, pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn’t listen.That was not the end of it. Hugs were in order. Debra came over to our table and my wife got up to hug her. Debra hugged my wife and put $100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted. Debra kept talking about our kindness, and we did the same about hers and her mother’s. With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers. I left the waiters a tip that would cover all of our meals and we were on our way.I’ve been witnessing so much kindness, especially over the last few years, as I began to pay more attention.

That’s especially true after a disaster, such as an earthquake. When buildings fall down, search and rescue dogs help find trapped people. Dogs’ amazing noses can pick up the smell of survivors. Now scientists have developed an electronic tool that does the same thing. It’s taking smell detection(探測) to a whole new level.The new invention is a sort of electronic nose, which can detect extremely low levels of many pounds(化合物) from people’s skin. This isn’t the first time engineers have developed such an object. Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive. They could not detect low levels of target pounds either. The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside handheld equipment.The electronic nose can detect extremely slight smell of more than one pound at the same time. Being able to do this, in such a small object, is the significant discovery, says Sotiris E. Pratsinis, Professor of Process Engineeringamp。Materials Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His team tested it in special spaces. They were like the small spaces where people might be trapped. Chemicals given off by the volunteers built up inside. The electronic equipment detected those pounds at unbelievably low levels.The results were good news for the research team. But they may be not for our fourlegged friends, who could soon be out of a job. Ideally, this technology could replace search and rescue dogs, Pratsinis says.Stephen Taylor, an electrical engineer, agrees that t
