12、eant to translate text into sound using two cameras and an earpiece, both fitted to its frame.Half of the lens (镜片) is a mirror that reflects the wearers eyes back to the first camera, which tracks eye movement. The other camera captures the text. Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they
13、cant read and blinking (眨眼) to trigger the glasses. Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system, which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece.

37、New York and headed for Paris. During the first fourteen hours of flying, he had had some anxious moments. Sleet had gathered on the wings of the plane and the fog was so thick that he could hardly see the tips of the wings. However, he had come across equally dangerous flying conditions before. Of
38、course, now that he was over the ocean, his parachute（降落伞）was useless. He had only one choice: he had to go on.Although he had waited a long time to make this trip, he did not feel strange or nervous. He was accustomed to flying alone, and he had flown this route in his imagination many times. The i
39、dea of flying across the Atlantic had occurred to him one night when he had been carrying the mail between St. Louis and Chicago. That night, he told himself that a solo non-stop flight between New York and Paris was possible. He knew that airplanes capable of making the long flight over the ocean c
40、ould be built. A man of skill and endurance could make his dream come true.As he was recalling that night, he reduced the altitude of the plane. Close to the surface of the ocean, he found that the ice on the wings began to melt and the fog disappeared. For the time being, at least, he was safe. The
41、 steady sound of the motor seemed like music in his ears. He had perfect confidence in his plane because he knew that there was not a more dependable plane than his. The Ryan Aircraft Company had constructed the plane to meet his special needs. He had worked with the chief engineer of the company, D
42、onald Hall, to produce the airplane as rapidly as possible. Although Hall had worked with the basic design of the Ryan airplane, he had had to make many modifications. As a result, it was a very special airplane. He had named it “The Spirit of St. Louis,” in honour of the St. Louis businessmen whose
43、 financial backing had made the trip possible. Besides their money, he had invested all of his own savings, which came to two thousand dollars, in the venture.At 12 :10 on the afternoon of May 21, Lindbergh caught sight of the coast of Ireland. Now that the flight was almost over, he began to relax
44、a little. Finally, after thirty-four hours in the air without sleep, he arrived at Le Bourget Field, in Paris.1、According to Paragraph 2, Lindbergh Jr. didnt feel nervous about the flight because of the following reasons EXCEPT that _.Ahe was used to flying alone Bhe had waited a long time for the t
