A row of cars appears to be stranded on a remote road, while a confused man on the left of the photo looks to be checking a roadside map while he calls for help.
The street view cars, each 41 with nine 2.5 meter-high multi-directional cameras, silently travel around the streets, taking pictures of city centers, side streets and even residential areas.
They have 42 captured sunbathing girls, children fighting and even a man dressed as Paddington Bear waving at the camera, raising 43 about invasion of privacy.
But these potentially 44 shots, taken near Amsterdam, are the first time that the lens(镜头) has been turned on the Google company and its black cars.
Google street View, 45 in 2007, allows “armchair explorers” to travel the world with a click of a mouse button. It 46 locations on all seven continents, and its makers claim that 95 percent of the UK has been mapped out on the company’s servers.
Some users of the service, who 47 the company’s Google Maps of being 48 , said that the picture showed that you couldn’t always rely on technology.

Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioral Science Centre 51 to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have 52 increasing obesity levels in winter.

Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: “We come on to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us to 55 a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to consume more 56 through shivering and generating heat through tissues.” In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and
57 more energy when living in a warmer indoor environment.
The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, 58 more than 100,000 adults across England. Researchers found 59 weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C (73F), which accounted for about 15,000 of the households studied.
Dr Daly said: “As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation (通货膨胀), this research suggests the 60 of obesity could worsen where heating dropped below 61 levels or off for lengthy periods to cut costs.
“This is not just about people who live in warm enough homes being in the 62 position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities. 63 , they find it easier to stay at a low BMI level. The study took age, gender, social class and other factors into account.
“The comfortable surrounding temperature of 20.3-23°C is where we feel comfortable in our 64 and are neither hot nor cold. At temperatures above this, we consume more energy and we eat less because our 65 is taken away.”

When people think of improving their diet, they often talk about eating more fruits and vegetables. Others want to eat more fish and less red meat, in addition to reducing the amount of food they eat. But, they can improve their diets even more with just a simple addition. American researchers have found that a diet rich in spices can help reduce the harmful effects of eating high fat meals.
Pennsylvania State University Associate Professor Shiela West led an investigation of the health effects of a spice-rich diet. Her team knew that a high-fat meal produces high levels of triglycerides(甘油三脂), a kind of fat, in the blood. She said, “If this happens too frequently, or if triglyceride levels are raised too much, your risk of heart disease is increased.”
As part of the study, her team prepared meals on two separate days for six men between the ages of 30 and 65. The men were overweight, but healthy. The researchers added about 30 milliliters of spices to each serving of the test meal, which included chicken curry, Italian herb bread and a cinnamon(肉桂树皮)biscuit. The meal for the control group was the same, but it did not include any spices.
During the experiment, the researchers removed blood from the men every 30 minutes for three hours. They found that antioxidant activity(抗氧化活性) in the blood of the men who ate the spicy meal was 13 percent higher than it was for the men who did not. In addition, insulin(胰岛素) activity dropped by about 20 percent in the men who ate the spicy food.
Shiela West says many scientists think that oxidative stress leads to heart disease. And what exactly is oxidative stress Think of an apple that has been cut in half and set aside for half an hour or so. The cut side of the apple turns brown. That is a simple explanation of what happens when oxidative stress comes in contact with the inside and outside of our bodies.
Professor West says, “Antioxidants, like spices, may be important in reducing oxidative stress and thus reducing the risk of chronic disease.” She adds that the level of spices used in the study provided the same amount of antioxidants found in 150 milliliters of red wine or about 38 grams of dark chocolate.
66. What does the author advise people to do in their diets
A. Eating large amount of food. B. Eating less fruits and vegetables.
C. Eating more vegetables and fish. D. Eating small amount of food with spices.
67. What is the function of spices according to the passage

A. The antioxidant activity in their blood became increased.
B. The insulin activity in their body became increased.
C. The level of triglyceride in their blood was increased.
D. The oxidative stress in their body was strengthened.
69. What does Professor West show by citing the example of a half apple
A. The whole thing can be divided into two parts.
B. It implies oxidative stress is harmful to our health.
C. An apple is the only food that contains antioxidants.
D. We can keep diseases away if we have an apple a day.
