Nicolas Maire is the model of a professional French chef with years of experience. To help perfect the flavors of the innovative foods, Mr. Maire has a new assistant chef in the form of Sam, an artificial intelligence robot.
Along with a team of flavorists, Sam helps blend a huge group of flavors for clients. Inhumans the sense of taste stems from multiple receptors (感受器)that are ready to make our brains aware of the nature of any possible food we encounter. Sam lacks this sense of taste, but it has been trained on a data- base of ingredients gathered over 60 years at the company of Firmenich, a business with a perfume industry origin stretching back to 1895. Using a technique called machine learning, it has raced through examples of flavor combinations and has learnt its own definitions, maturing over 18 months into today's AI robot.
Erie Saracchi nuns the digital side of Firmenich. "Flavors are more complex than perfumes, "he says, "and Sam had to understand what a strawberry is or how roasted beef hits the tongue, before finding matches between tastes and foodstuffs. ”
One big advantage of an AI robot is that it has no cognitive bias (认知偏见). This lack of human prejudices helps Firmenich to get past any unconscious leaning of the flavorists. The objectivity of Sam, lacking influences that can affect even the most professional of flavorists, allows it to work at speed. “h adds value by combining the knowledge of all the other flavorists here, " says Saracchi.
The machine rapidly gives an indication of how a flavor can be created and how much of an ingredient should be included. And Sam can hold the line between Saracchi's team of flavorists and public tastes, referencing decisions when the flavorists' view differs from that of a consumer group.
24. What does Sam do together with many flavorists
A. It helps activate humans' tastes.
B. It creates a database of ingredients.
C. It mixes a series of flavors for guests.
D. It makes all kinds of foods very creative.
25. What is Saracchi's altitude towards the Al robot Sam
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unknown. D. Doubtful.
26. Where can you find the outstanding feature of an AI chef
A. In Paragraph 1. B. In Paragraph 2. C. In Paragraph 3. D. In Paragraph 4.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Chefs Are Turning to AI
B. Sam, the First AI Chef in the World
C. How Do French Chefs Choose AI Assistants
D. Nicolas Maire Owns Some AI Assistant Chefs
C
The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing. This is problematic, as at least 700 kinds of ocean animals-including sharks, whales, seabirds and turtles can become caught in the stuff or mistake it for a tasty snack.
While we know that some ocean animals seem to catch plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food sources, less research has been carried out into what plastic smells like to ocean animals. But now, a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found the coating (涂层)that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.
The researchers took 15 turtles, each around five months old, and placed them in a lab aquarium. They then piped in smells of clean water, clean plastic, turtle food, and plastic that had been soaking in the ocean environment for five weeks. The turtles showed no reaction to the smells of clean water or clean plastic. But when facing ocean soaked plastic or turtle food, they stuck their noses out of the water and showed increased activity.
"This finding is important because it's the first proof that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them, "said Dr Kenneth J Lohmann, who took part in the study. "I's common to find a turtle with its stomach full of plastic materials. There are also increasing reports of sea turtles that have become ill and stuck on the beach due to their taking in plastic. ”
According to the researchers, areas of the ocean with much plastic may trick turtles and other animals into thinking that there are plenty of food sources, when the opposite is true. "Once these plastics are in the ocean, we don't have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food, "said Lohmann. "The best thing we can do is to keep plastic from getting into the ocean at all. "
28. Why is plastic pollution posing a threat to ocean animals
A. It may mislead them as food.
B. It may eat up all jellyfish.
C. It may kill them with its smell.
D. It may trap 700 species of sea animals.
29. What smell did turtles prefer according to the study
A. Sea water. B. Clean water. C. Clean plastic. D. Ocean-soaked plastic.
30. What do we know from the study
A. Turtles seem to eat plastic because it looks like food.
B. Turtles have died out due to their taking in plastic.
C. Turtles eat plastic because it gives off the smell of food.
D. Turtles with their stomachs full of plastic were studied.
31. What are we supposed to do according to Dr. Kenneth J Lohmann
A. Keep away from the polluted ocean.
B. Maintain a plastic-free ocean.
C. Remove plastic from the ocean.
D. Stop people feeding turtles plastic.
D
A lot of people ask this question: "Why is body language so important " Studies have shown that in the process of communication, non-verbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual text. This means that "how to say" is more important than "what to say". Of course, this does not mean that you don't need to do preparation for your interviews, nor does it mean that you can take any short cuts. On the contrary, this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think. Without proper body language, you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can't integrate with the external environment, not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
"People can often make inferences from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example, who will be employed and who will be promoted. "Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show. She also said that "Our body language will also affect our perception of ourselves. When you try to make more authoritative actions, your brain will inadvertently receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative, so that you have more confidence in yourself. ”
Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any object or have a hunched back. Instead, you should try to keep your body relaxed. You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture of course; you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews, careers, and everyday life. Paying attention to body language could make strong impacts on your behavior, which could help you achieve better results. So, every time you are nervous or feel that you can't doit, stretch your body, smile, and tell yourself "Fake it till you become it!”
32. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to Paragraph 1
A. What we say in interviews is not so important.
B. We should set a high value on body language.
C. Practicing body language is a short cut to success.
D. Body language carries 93% of conversation messages.
33. According to Amy Cuddy, why is body language important for us
A. It makes us look more authoritative.
B. It decides whether we are promoted.
C. It influences people's impression of us.
D. It helps people understand who we are.
34. What does the underlined word "hunched" in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Bent forward. B. Tied behind. C. Straightened up. D. Broken down.
35. The passage may be intended for ______.
A. viewers of a TV talk show
B. body language researchers
C. working adults to be promoted
D. new arrivals in the workplace

M: Catherine, we know lots of people are trying to lose weight. Why is it so hard for people to do that Is it just a lack of willpower
W: Not exactly. I have a lot of customers. When I first met them, they were eating almost nothing or eating in what they thought was a healthy way but with little or no results. In fact, when food appears to be very low in fat, it often has a lot of sugar so it's really important to check the sugar content.
M: I often hear people talking about skipping breakfast. They only have two meals a day. Is this a good way to lose weight
W: Of course not. Having a good breakfast takes you through until lunch. Generally, you won't cat too much for lunch if you have breakfast.
M: So three meals a day is the best
W: Well, five meals is the best. And have a variety of healthy foods. Of course, it's better to eat more fruit, vegetables and grains.
M: Then how do we avoid overeating
W: One of the best ways is to use a smaller plate or a smaller bowl. Also, drink more water before you eat. You should avoid eating quickly too. It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to get the message that you're full.

Welcome back, everyone. This is CBA News Radio. Here comes something interesting. Yesterday, a teenage girl named Terra Gallo, from Cumberland, got some unexpected news when she received a hand- written letter from a fisherman saying that her message in a bottle had been found in Spain. Gallo and her sister put messages into bottles and threw them into the ocean while visiting their aunt on Monhegan Island three years ago. The girls had forgotten about the bottles until they were surprised by the fisherman's letter. Gallo, now 14, studied maps and discovered her message traveled about 3, 000 miles. Gallo's message asked that whoever found her bottle should put their own message inside with hers and send it back out to sea. The fisherman said in his letter that he had carried out her wishes.
