Now Italians
10、are fighting back.TheTuscantown of Lucca does not want any kebab shops and Chinese restaurants in their historic city any more. Lucca, about60 km from Florence, hasdeclaredthat it wants topreserveits food tradition.Therefore, no moreforeignfood shops are allowed.An argument is going on between town

Critics of the newlawsay that a lot of typically Italian food does notoriginatein Italy but comes from other regions: toma

It is against foreignersandforeignculture in Italy.Italians are also afraid that products from other countries are being sold as Italian. Che

I am afraid not. As the critics say, without forei

16、t idea.D. It is good for preserving Italian tradition.BIts illegal for the police to attach a GPS unit to your car without your permission, as the U.S. Supreme Court settled in 2014. But if the police are in hot pursuit of a bank robber or other escaping criminals that threaten public safety, a GPS
17、tracker is acceptable. But exactly how can the police GPS track a car that is moving fast? The answer to that question comes from StarChase, a new police technology being used by a small-but-growing number of law enforcement agencies. It allows the police to fire 4.5-inch glue-covered GPS bullet-lik
18、e projectiles (发射体) from an airgun fixed in their police cars. If the GPS tracker makes contact with the escaping robbers car, itll stick no matter how fast the vehicle is going. That way, the police will have a constant read on the cars location and heading. Aside from simply apprehending (逮捕) crim
19、inals, it is believed this new technology could help save lives. If the police successfully fire a GPS unit at a speeding criminal, they can pull back from a high-risk chase. Chases can be incredibly dangerous to all involved, including innocent bystanders and other drivers. Once the GPS bullet conn
20、ects, theres no need for the chase any longer. Now, predictably, a GPS-loaded gun isnt cheap. Police departments need to pay about $5,000 per vehicle for the technology, and individual GPS bullets cost as much as $250 each. That may sound expensive, but remember: The alternative is often thousands o
21、f dollars in property damage, and great human cost in injury and lost life. According to StarChase, their GPS bullet system has an apprehension rate of 80% without any report of injury or property damage. If youd like to learn more about the StarChase system, Popular Mechanics has just published a g
22、ood article about it. Theres also plenty more information available at the companys website.24.

From the text we can learn that GPS bullets _.A. can control the rising crime ra

25、ng goes, “Dont use a lot where a little will do.” I recently saw a reality show about helping charge struggling restaurants. The premise (前提) is that an expert comes in to help save a family business, and in the process helps the owners rebuild their relationships and their lives. In the beginning,
26、the expert suggested the family reduce their menu from many pages to just one. They originally created a massive list of selections because they assumed this created more value. But in many instances, less is more.This is a big part of the philosophy behind Tiny Buddha. I publish one post from the c
27、ommunity every day, which allows me to spend a great deal of time with writers. Traditional wisdom of the web suggests that more content may lead to more page views, which eventually creates a successful site. Yet Ive found the opposite can be true.Having a lower quantity allows more time to focus o
28、n quality, and also allows more time for connection through comments. In this way, its not about building a large community; its about developing and improving an engaged one. As far as Im concerned, theres no greater success than that. Regardless of your project or dream, the “less is more” philoso
29、phy can go a long way in creating value and enabling progress.You may not have a large number of hours to commit, but this means you are encouraged to prioritize your goals, and that just may help you focus and become the most effective. You may not have abundant resources, but this means your passi

You may not have countless readers or customers, but this means you can focus on providing excellent service, which can be far more valuabl

And really, isnt that what we want? Its not just
32、 the goals and the outcomes we imagine; its the happiness and satisfaction we imagine well experience when we get there. It may be the biggest advantage to do less: we create more space to enjoy those things now.28. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Tiny Wisdom: When Less Is Less B. Tiny Wisdom

35、ted with smell. In the Middle Ages it smelt particularly unpleasant due to its leather tanning (制革) industry. The nobles only rarely visited the pretty and charming town to pick up their handmade, tanned leather gloves. Compared with the large area of land in the surrounding countryside, Grasse was
36、certainly a necessary evil with no self-respecting nobles owning buildings there. Molinard, a Grasse tanner himself, created the first Grasse perfume. Word spread like wildfire among the nobles about the designer perfumed gloves. Molinard offered a pair of his gloves to Catherine de Medici (the Quee
37、n), who gave plenty of praise to her Grasse perfumed gloves; she almost assuredGrasses reputation as the perfume capital of the world. Thanks to Catherine de Medici, Grasse merchants were encouraged to grow the perfume plants that tanners needed to supply perfumed leather to the nobles. Grasse has f

The perfume museum is open every day, Sundays and public holidays included.Grasse is certainly a perfumed heaven, a far cry from its smelly beginning as a leather tanning town. Now famous for a far sweeter smell, Grasse is surrounded by fields of jasmi
40、ne, rose and lavender. Those looking for real estate (财产) in France would have to go a long way to find anywhere more charming than Grasse with the city of Nice and its airport just a short drive away and plenty of activities to enjoy in the surrounding countryside. Real estate in Grasse is situated
41、 between the Southern Alps and the Cote dAzur, allowing owners the best of both worlds.32. Why was Grasse considered to be necessary although it was an evil? A.
