20、Most people take somewhere around 2,000 steps to walk a mile.Authors of the study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, said doctors might consider prescribing (开处方) such apps and trackers for patients looking to get fitter.Just 4,400 steps a day tied to women living longer, study sa

26、e the 1940s, scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation (声悬浮), the use of soundwave vibrations (震动) to trap tiny things in midair. The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade. Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contri

27、buting to novel 3-D printing methods, or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation. In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a sound

28、track. And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing backa little like the object shown by the floating image is really there. Soundwaves create a 3-D display!Display without a screen is remarkably useful. It means that everybody

31、imple graphics, such as a smiley face or figure eight, in real time.Still, we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology. If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two, it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself. We cant make a TV image th

32、ats bigger than the TVeven a projector has to have a projection screen thats bigger than the image itself. But with a volumetric (容积的) display, a small, portable device might produce a much larger picture. We can imagine, in the future, having volumetric displays in watches, for example, that create
