The company showed its cardiovascular (心血管的) workout machine, called the Infinity treadmill (跑步机), at the recent South by Southwe

36、st festival, an event held every year in Austin.A person using the treadmill wears a virtual reality headset when exercising. Before starting, the user tightens a belt to prevent falls. Then, the user plays a VR game while running on the machine. The game can transport the user into the virtual worl

37、d, where he or she can be racing against virtual people.Recently, Leonardo Mattiazzi tested the Infinity treadmill. Mattiazzi said he had a strong feeling to actually get running and do something that pushed his limits. He said the experience was more interesting than running inside the gym without

38、actually going anywhere.Constam said the active use of virtual reality helps solve a common problem while wearing a VR headset. She noted that a lot of VR experiences cause motion sickness because people are in motion during the game, but not moving in real life. But when the user is moving on the t

39、readmill and in the game, the chances of motion sickness are reduced.However, users who tested the treadmill while wearing the VR headset each had a different experience.

43、, an entertainment industry job, and a method of transportation. In 2020, it was announced that skateboarding will be represented at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.There are various theories about the origins of Skateboarding, but it is generally held that the sport began in the 1940s on t

44、he west coast of the USA when metal wheels were attached to a narrow wooden board.

The sport w

45、as a big hit with the younger generation and grew in global popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. Since the late 1990s, skateboarding has become an important part of street culture.However, skateboarding has raised heated discussions in areas where the activity, although legal (合法的), has damaged stone

46、works, steps, benches, and parks. Certain cities oppose the building of skate parks in their neighborhoods, for fear of increased crime (犯罪) and drugs in the area. The disagreement between the old image of skateboarding and a newer one is quite obvious: magazines such as Thrasher describe skateboard

47、ing as dirty, and still firmly tied to punk (朋克), while other publications, Transworld Skateboarding as an example, paint a more different and controlled picture of skateboarding.

54、 house at the top of a steep hill. And now my friend is late, and Im stuck here waiting.I see a man approaching.“Por favor. Call 911,” the man says. “Finger. Cut.” With his left hand, he is pressing the handkerchief around his right little finger.“No. Have. Phone,” I say, as if English is also my se

55、cond language.“Have phone,” he says, and dips his chin toward his front pants pocket. There, I find a phone, and call 911.The operator answers, and I say “Im with this guy, and he cut his finger.”“Did he cut it off?”“Did you cut it off?”“Si.” He sighs.“Yes. He cut it off.”“Where is it?” the operator

56、 asks.“Where is it?”“Upstairs,” he says, pointing with his elbow to the house next door.“Go get it,” she instructs me.I follow the man toward the house. Inside, I see a table saw (锯), and the blood spreading across the ceiling, but I dont see the finger. I lift up each foot and look underneath to be

57、 sure Ive not stepped on it. Im getting that jumpy, tight-shouldered feeling like when youve lost sight of a spider that was on your ceiling a moment ago.“Do you see it?” I ask him.He points at his own finger beside the table saw. I grab a paper towel, pinching it carefully, the way you might pick u

58、p a harmless but frightening insect.“We have secured the finger,” I tell the operator.“Hang tight. The ambulance is on its way.”We sit on the stoop waiting for the ambulance.“Youre going to be OK,” I say, putting my free hand on his sawdust-covered back.“Gracias,” he says.“De nada. Esta no problem,”

59、 I reply in broken Spanish.It feels good to be able to comfort someone, anyone. For months now, the second my hands would go idle (闲散的), a familiar depression would climb on my back. I have been trying to put on a good face for my kid, but I feel as if Ive been failing. Could I save myself? I wouldn

60、t know how. But I am determined to save this man.Finally the ambulance arrives, picks him up, and theyre off.Throughout the evening, I cant stop worrying about the man. I decide to call the hospital.“Hi! I helped a guy who cut off his finger, and I dont even know his name, but Im wondering whether h

61、e came to your hospital.”The nurse says, “His name is Jose Ramos, and hes waiting for surgery. Would you like to leave a message?”“No. I dont want to bother him. I just wanted to be sure he was OK.”The next morning, I call the hospital again. This time, Im put through to Joses room. “How was the sur

62、gery?”“No surgery,” he says. “No enough blood.”“Oh, Im sorry,” I say.Later that day, I remember that old proverb about how if you save someones life, you are responsible for them for the rest of their life, which never made sense to me before. Shouldnt the person who got saved owe a debt, and not the other way around? Bu
