26、   Enjoying tasty food is as important as preparing good food. Read the following ways that will help you enjoy food better.

The right way to eat cupcakes

Although cupcakes don't require a knife or a spoon, taking the first bite of a cupcake can lead to a top-heavy cupcake with an uneven(不均匀的) ratio of icing(糖霜). But according to Foodbeast, if you eat a cupcake, break off the bottom first, and place it over the icing, you‘ll end up with a cupcake-icing sandwich that offers you both cake and icing in every bite.

The proper order for hot lobsters(龙虾)

James Cornwall, head cook at a London seafood restaurant J Sheekey, told British GQ that, when eating hot lobsters, you should eat the tail first because it gets cold the fastest. Cornwall also advised eating the claws last because they usually stay warm longer and can be hard to break into. Plus, eating lobster in this order can be cleaner when it comes to clearing up the lobster's shell.

The easy method to remove seeds

Pomegranate(石榴) seeds are widely used to make fruit salads and many dishes. However, they can also be difficult to take out and just a little too much pressure will cause them to jump out and dirty your fingers. Here is an easy way to take out pomegranate seeds. We will show you the way by a video. Please click the link to our website to watch the video.

27、   When it comes to dog training, I’ve come to understand that some things can be taught quickly, while others take a while. Do you know how I learned that lesson? From a French teacher I had in college.

It was beginner’s French, and from day one she had a “no English” class rule. I was confused by 99% of what she said, but I decided to give it a shot. I was excited as we began learning numbers and the alphabet, something I could easily follow, but when it came to putting together phrases, I was lost.

My teacher came up to me and said “quel est votre passe-temps favori?” which sounded like complete nonsense to me. I knew she was asking me a question, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. So I said “Sorry, I don’t understand.” Well, that broke the “no English” rule, so I just froze because I had no idea as to how to apologize in French.

So what did she do? She kept getting closer to me, repeating ‘quel est votre passe-temps favori?’ over and over, each time a bit louder, as if I had a hearing problem, rather than a complete shortage of comprehension.

I think about that class often. I really did feel hopeless, and the laughter from everyone else in class didn’t help. It’s not that she was a bad teacher. It’s just that she had very little patience for students like me who didn’t catch on immediately.

Well, it taught me to be more patient with Laika when learning new things. And since I don’t want her to be like the embarrassed kid in class, I don’t speak loudly at her or repeat myself when she doesn’t “get it.” I go back and figure out how I can help her understand and put meaning to my requests.

【1】How did the author find the “no English” class rule?

A.She was confused and decided not to obey it.

B.She was excited as she could easily follow it.

C.She found it challenging and was eager to break it.

D.She thought it hard but originally was willing to try it.

【2】Why couldn’t the author answer her French teacher’s question?

A.Because she didn’t hear the teacher clearly.

B.Because she didn’t know the correct answer.

C.Because she couldn’t understand the question.

D.Because she couldn’t express herself in French.

【3】What does the author learn from the experience of the French class?

A.A good teacher should not set strict rules for class.

B.A good teacher should be more patient with students.

C.A good teacher should repeat herself when necessary.

D.A good teacher shouldn’t cause students’ embarrassment.

【4】Who is Laika mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.The author’s student. B.The author’s classmate.

C.The author’s pet dog. D.The author’s daughter.

28、   The world’s elderly population is increasing. The number of older people ---those age 60 years or older ---is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the globe. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers which can provide 24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes.

Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an eye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the USA.

“Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robot interaction(互动), limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue’s College of Engineering . “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot?”

Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape when touched , but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home .

However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3D printer.

“The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt ( 适应 ) to a wide variety of environments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez .

The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to market.

【1】What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.The younger age group

B.The group of older people

C.The population across the globe

D.The growth of the elderly population

【2】What is the disadvantage of the present caregiving robots?

A.They can’t provide safe physical interaction

B.They can’t communicate with patients

C.They can’t watch patients for falls

D.They can’t provide 24-hour care.

【3】What do we know about Martinez’s new design method?

A.It requires a special kind of 3D printer.

B.It makes the production of soft robots simpler.

C.It has been put onto the market.

D.It is hard for users to master.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The robot industry in the future

B.Effects of population ageing

C.Robots for the elderly created with 3D printers

D.The development of caregiving robots

29、Maria had a story to tell. She could hear the words and predict how the tale would unfold. All she needed, she says, was the right iPhone app.

So Maria hired a programmer, paying him $500 to deliver in five days an application that would spread her piece, called Shadows Never Sleep, through an iPhone application. The application allows Maria to tell a visual story, with white text on a black background that makes the actual appearance of the words as you zoom in (拉近) on it to follow the story through.

Maria is not alone in her attempt to adapt literature to today’s technology. Writers and publishers of all kinds are turning to technology to bring literature to the masses.

Much of the work so far has focused on converting (转换) existing printed books to an online format. Project Gutenberg is one of the most outstanding examples of that. Founded in 1971 by Michael Hart, it has turned tens of thousands of printed books into e-books, making it the first and largest single collection of free electronic books. Similarly, e-book readers such as Amazon.com Inc.’s highly publicized Kindle are designed to copy the traditional experience of reading a book, using technology to bring convenience to readers.

But the work on this front involves more than just converting traditional printed texts into electronic versions. Writers and publishers are also using technology to deliver literature in new ways using, for example, RSS feeds and text messaging. And they’re employing programming and mobile devices to develop new literary art forms, too, forcing us to reconsider how we define the term “literature”.

“I think we’re going to have to change our definition of what writing is, because electronic media is expanding the definition of what reading and writing can be,” Maria says. “It opened the door for different kinds of writing.”

【1】What does the author want to show with the example of Maria?

A．Visual stories will become popular in the future.

B．Some people have special talent for making up stories.

C．Applications play an important role in today's literature.

D．Literature today is closely connected with technology.

【2】The underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to the “________”.

A．word

B．story

C．text

D．application

【3】According to the text, Project Gutenberg can be regarded as________.

A．an e-book reader

B．a kind of digital library

C．a website that sells e-books

D．a book publisher

【4】What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

A．Traditional printed texts are out of date.

B．The definition of literature has been changed.

C．RSS feeds and text messaging are widely used in literature.

D．Technology is changing literary forms and ways of publishing.
