19、uple. While some might say Dekas success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today.When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order t
20、o support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to ones life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didnt do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl
21、 for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but twice better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”Dekas efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Prog

Thats exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of eatable food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the “ugly food” movement, and i

The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumper truck where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food
28、that would have otherwise gone to waste.Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea to bring awareness to Americas food waste problem. “There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste,” he told Seeke
29、rs Laura Ling.Treuhaft isnt alone in his effort to reduce Americas food waste. Groups like A Change.org and Whole Foods also became part of the“ugly food”movement. They sold misshapen fruit and vegetables in Northern California stores.Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, whi
30、ch can be partially due to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raleys, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called “Real Good”, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had “some challenges sourcing the product”. A grower might have large a
31、mounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather has been more ideal. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.This is why organizations like Imperfect Produce
32、 and Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste.

35、ential in producing food.31. Why did Raleys stop its “Real Good” after 90 days?A. Retailers pursuing larger profit. B.Lack of steady sources of produce. C. Bad harvests due to bad weather. D. Peoples unwillingness to buy imperfect produce.DA pretty face is never forgotten. Do you believe so? But may
36、be it is untrue! Psychologists believe beautiful people are less likely to be recognized. A new study suggests that attractiveness can actually prevent the recognition of faces, unless a pretty face has particularly distinctive features, such as Angelina Jolies.German psychologists think the recogni
37、tion of pretty faces is distorted(扭曲)by emotions.Researchers Holger Wiese, Carolin Altmann and Stefan Schweinberger at the University of Jena, Germany, discovered in a study that photos of unattractive people were more easily remembered than the photos of pretty ones when they showed them to a group
38、 of people.For the study, which was published in science magazine Neuropsychologia, the psychologists showed photos of faces to test subjects. Half of the faces were considered to be more attractive and the other half as less attractive, but all of them were being thought of as similarly distinctive
39、 looking. The test subjects were shown the faces for just a few seconds to memorize them and were shown them again during the test so that they could decide if they recognized them or not.The researchers were surprised by the result. “We assumed that it was generally easier to memorize faces which a
40、re being considered as attractive, just because we prefer looking at beautiful faces, “Dr. Wiese said. But the study showed that such a connection cannot be easily proven. He assumes that remembering pretty faces is distorted by emotional influences, which enhance the sense of recognition at a later
41、 time. The researchers idea is backed up by evidence from EEG-recordings(脑电图记录)they used during their experiment which show the brains electric activity.The study also revealed that in the case of attractive faces, considerably more false positive results were detected. In other words, people though
42、t they recognized a face without having seen it before. “We obviously tend to believe that we recognize a face just because we find it attractive,” Dr. Wiese said.32.What do we know about the photos from Paragraph 3?A.They were all of pretty faces. B.They were selected at random.C.They were not dist
43、inctive at all. D.They were showed twice to the test subjects.33.What does the underlined phrase “false positive results” in the last paragraph mean?A.People actually only recognize few pretty faces.B.People recognize more ugly faces than pretty ones.C.People claim to recognize a face they have neve
44、r seen.D.People recognize fewer faces than they have thought.34.What can learn from the new study?A.People are willing to recognize ugly faces. B.Beautiful people are particularly distinctive.C.Attractiveness prevents the recognition of faces.D.Attractive faces are always easy to be recognized.35.Wh

46、ortant part of having a good school year. You dont have to be smart to get a teacher to appreciate you.Introduce yourself at the first opportunity. Talk to them for a minute or so if you want to. This shows that you arent afraid to socialize and that you have confidence. Most teachers like students
