2、e read her book so attentivelythat she didnt notice what was going on around her.But she did see that a man had sat down next toher and taken one of her cookies out of the bag.She pretended not to notice,as she didnt want to make a scene（当众大吵）.But then the mantook more.He kept eating the cookies unt
3、il there was just one left.The man took the last cookie andbroke it in half.He lapped the woman on the shoulder and held out one half to her.The woman could not believe how much nerve this man had to steal all of her cookies and thenoffer half a cookie in return.She angrily grabbed the half-cookie o

8、y,for passengers to stay in the plan.So airlines(航空公司)offer passengers food.But it iscommon that they feel bad about food taste.Do you agree?To solve this problem,airlines try hard to improve their food.They would like to do so becausethey dont want to lose customers.However,according to scientific
9、research,part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that athigh altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground.Also scientists have foundthat our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off.As the plane moves up,the change inair pressure(气压)reduces one third of the s
10、ensibility(感觉)of our taste buds(味蕾).So our tastebuds become senseless.The sad fact,however,is that our noses dont know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad.They also help explain why airlineschoose to offer passengers salty and spicy(辛辣的)food.Without doing so,the food wou

61、posting threatening words online is also against the law.In 2013,Wu Hongfei,a singer,got into trouble for saying on Weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet,social media and thetelephone,said Mr.Cao,a lawyer from Chongqing.Al

67、ruck the farms of Ireland,killing all the Lumper potato plants.Inanother place or time,the death of single crop species(物种)might not have been so important.But inIreland,in 1845,people depended almost solely on the patato for food.The death of one speciescaused a terrible famine(饥荒).Now,some scienti
68、sts are worried that such a famine could happenagain,but on a much wider scale.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.（2）Over the centuries,farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops.Eachspecies has special qualities.Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates.Others are not affectedby certai
69、n diseases.However,you wont find many of these species in your local supermarket.To feedthe seven billion people on Earth,most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farmingonly species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers.For example in the Philippines,there were once
70、thousands of varieties of rice:now fewer than100 are grown there.In China,90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago havedisappeared.Scientists believe that over the past century,we have allowed more than half of theworlds food varieties to disappear.One solution to this problem is t
71、o collect and store the seeds(种子)as many different plantvarieties as we can before they disappear.The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist NikolayVavilov.In the 1920s and 1930s,he collected around 400,000 seeds from five contients.Morerecently,others are continuing the work he began.In the
72、U.S.state of Iowa,Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties,like theseeds her greatgrandfather brought to the U.S.from Germany more than a hundred years ago.Sheand her husband started a place called Heritage Farm,where people can store and trade seeds.More importantly,the people at

106、can practice table tennis not only with humans but also with a robot.Named Forpheus,the smart table tennis robot is quite special.It can study the movements ofhuman players and the speeds of the ball.In this way,it can exactly judge(判断)the players skilllevels(水平).Then it uses the information to chan
107、ge the ways to play.If the players are just beginners,Forpheus will play in a slow and easy way,but if the players are better ones,the robot will play in afaster and more difficult way.Whats more,while playing,it encourages players to try their best withwords like Good job!,Come on!and so on.At the
108、same time,it gives some good advice to improvetheir skills.So it is both a good partner and a clever coach.Science and technology is developing quickly these days and its hard to imagine what willhappen in the future.In the next 20 years,it will be possible that one robot teaches another to playtabl
109、e tennis or even invents another one!Takuoya,the inventor of the robot,said.Artificial intelligence has influenced peoples life in many ways.Forpheus is the name of the inventor of the robot.The robot can judge the skill levels of human players exactly.One robot will probably teach another to play t

163、oating called plaque（牙斑）.The bacteria in the plaque produce acid（酸）.More acid is created when someone eats foodwhich has sugar or starch.Candy and cookie are sugary foods.Potato chips have starch.The acidfrom the bacteria goes to work on the teeth.Each tooth has a protective covering called enamel（釉
164、质）.Its the hardest material in the body.But the acid is strong enough to eat through the enamel.This creates tooth decay（蛀蚀）.Next,the acid can work its way inside the tooth.Under the enamel is softer material calleddentine.Acid quickly eats through the dentine,creating a hole called a cavity.Then th
165、e acid can reachthe pulp（髓）inside the dentine.The pulp has blood vessels（血管）that feed the tooth.It also hasnerves（神经）.When the nerves get hurt,a person may feel a toothache.A dentist should fix tooth decay.Bodies can repair broken bones but not decayed teeth.Thatsbecause enamel and dentine arent liv

181、t experiences of time,we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when were exposed(接触)to new environments and experiences.The law is caused by the relationship between our experienceof time and the amount of information our minds p
182、rocess.The more information our minds take in,theslower time seems to pass.It follows,then,that we have different experiences of time in different situations.In somesituations,our life is full of new experiences.Our minds process a lot of information and time seems toslow down.In other situations,we
183、 have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomesmore and more familiar(熟悉的).We become insensitive to our experience,which means we processless information,and time seems to speed up.How can we slow down time?Here are two suggestions.Firstly,since we know that familiarity makes time pass f
184、aster,we can expose ourselves to asmany new experiences as possible.We can give ourselves new challenges,meet new people,andexpose our minds to new information,hobbies and skills.This will increase the amount of informationA.going to bed on timeB.traveling to new placesC.having dinner as usualD.prin

186、,smelling or hearing.This means living through our senses ratherthan through our thoughts.For example,on the way home,focus your attention outside of yourself,instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with.Look at the sky,or at the buildings youpass,traveling among them.This open attit
187、ude to your experiences helps take in more informationand also has a time-expanding effect.To a certain degree,we can understand and control our experience of time passing.Its possiblefor us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.According to the writer,we can expand our experience of
188、 time by .What can we learn from the passage?Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.We can take in more information by living through our senses.We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.Which

211、s in the traditions and stories of America.Before the Europeansarrived at north America in the 1500s,to native(土著的)Americans,wolves often meant being brave.However,in English,wolves are not to be trusted.Perhaps wolves attacked too many people orate too many farm animals.Whatever the reason,wolves w

247、.Just like human teachers,Bill is able to immediately respond to the students questions andopinions about the topic.Thanks to computer cameras,he is also able to see and react to studentsphysical actions.For example,if a student smiles at Bill,he responds by smiling back.This two-wayexchange helps g

262、 enough exercise every day.The report was based on（基于）a research done with about 2 million students aged 11 to 17 aroundthe world.According to the report,activity standards are different in different countries and they arealso different between boys and girls.In China,for example,only 20%of the boys
263、 are active enough,compared to 11%of the girls.Why dont teens go out for exercise?One main reason is that they always have technologyproducts in their hands or around them.They spend too much time on smartphones,computers andTVs in their free time.Many teens find it very hard to pull themselves away
264、 from these devices（设备）.The report says that young people need to do less in the digital world but more in the real world.It advises kids to get at least an hour of exercise every day.This could include running,biking,playingsports,or many other outdoor activities.More and more research shows that e
265、xercise not only helps the body,but also helps the brain.Besides,doing sports helps kids to make friends.Mark,a sports fan,started to play football when hewas six years old.He used to be shy and weak,but now he has become taller and stronger.He getsto know the importance of communicating with his te

271、p floor flats uncomfortably hot.What ismore,they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them,causing theurban heat-island effect.On a green roof,however,with its plants and water,temperatures changeonly a little,as they do in a park.This can greatly cut the costs of heat
272、ing and cooling in the buildingbelow.Also,a green roof takes in rain water,and protects the city drainage(排水)system.And smallanimals and birds can make their homes on it.Thanks to this,the city may become part of nature,rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building suc

277、the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it,likeThis plant is useless.How sorry I am to be his neighbor!The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose,saying,God did not create anyform of life without a purpose.Spring passed,and the weather became very hot.As th

364、of China.In 2016,only one-fourth of Chinese cities met the countrys air quality standards,according to asurvey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.Of course one tower and a few bikes wont solve Chinas air pollution problem,Daan said,Butsmog-free bikes are an exciti

369、st one foreign language and 18%speak two or more.Compared with the British people,56%of the people in other European countriesspeak at least one foreign language and 28%speak two or more.From this you can see that theBritish people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not
370、good languagelearners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language.ManyEuropean people can have a conversation in English.Thats why many people dont think it isnecessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain,students arent required to learn a foreign
371、language.That means learning a foreignlanguage is only a choice at school.In British schools its common for children to start learning aforeign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14.So why dont students continue learningforeign languages at school?Because they think its more difficult to
372、get good marks in languagesthan in other subjects such as science or history.To solve this situation,the British government is looking for different ways to improve languagelearning at school.One way is to start learning it at a much younger age.Another one is to give schoolchildren more choices.Wha

377、ing space themselves?Although it might sound a little far from you,living in asmart city like this could happen sooner than you think.Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries,while completelynew cities are being built.One such place is the city of Songdo.Every home
378、 there will have a telepresence system（远程遥控系统）allowing users to control the heating and looks,take part invideo meetings,and receive education,healthcare and government services.Around the city,escalators（自动扶梯）will only move when someone is on them,and offices and schools will all beconnected to the
379、 system.The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco.In fact,technology companies aroundthe world such as IBM,Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.About 75%of the worlds population will live in cities by 2050,so cities will need to be moremodern to deal with the coming problem

383、ow you live?These are very old questions and the answers tothem are still not clear.However,we know that it is not enough just to be born with a good mind.In some ways,the mindis like a leg or an arm muscle（肌肉）.It needs exercise and the exercise is particularly important foryoung children.Many child
384、 psychologists（心 理 学 家）think that parents should play with theirchildren more often and give them problems to think about.The children are then more likely to growup bright and intelligent.On the other hand,if children are left alone with nothing to do,they are morelikely to become dull and unintell
385、igent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children.According to somepsychologists,if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool,then the child is more likelyto keep doing foolish things.So it is better for parents to say very positive things to their children,
