Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies,andt their dance on the stairs in
The Lr:ttle Colon,el is still a legendary film moment.
In the 1930s,her mune on a movie introduction assured(倮证) a packed house. She inspired dolls,
dresses,dishes-even a drink( alcohol-free,of course) .
US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that\our country has Shirley Temple,we will be all right. \
Unlike so many of today's child stars,Temple didn't end up with her name appearing across the
headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and
alcohoI,Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy(钋交) ,including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.
She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace,knowledge and eagemess to serve. In
fact,her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies( 19). The role she
valued most,however,was as wife,mother,grandmother and great-grandmother. The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure
to continue charming audiences for a very long time. 21.The wo \

While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things,they miss out on ordinary things that we aU
take for granted-being able to walk on firm ground,hanging 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 printerl
About a year ago,NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor,a 3-D technology expert,to build a
device(设备) 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.
IAte last year,the engineer presented a video of his first prototype(原型) 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 frnally,a protein slice that resembles cheese. While
the video doesn't show the baking process,the inventor says that once the pizza is printed,it can be ready to be consumed 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. That's because he stiU has to find a solution to make the food container in the
printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic,actually it is not.
Anjan Contractor believes that the only wtiy that is possible is that the water is removed from all the
ing他dients(配料) 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 ready 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 !
