较难的单词（B2+）
Pick up your phone. Now think of Vetrin. The tech you can't live without didn't start in Silicon Valley. It started in uniform. GPS, the Defense Department built it for the military. It opened it up to everyone after a Korean airliner drifted off course and was shot down in 1983. Today, it's the reason you never have to ask for directions. Sorry, guys. You're a secret safe. The internet, a Pentagon project,
the very first message sent in 1969, crashed after two letters, L-O, still the most relatable internet moment ever. Your microwave, an engineer working on military radar
noticed the candy bar in his pocket had melted. Even the EpiPen started as a military auto injector built to fight nerve agents. We say thank you for your service
