（23-24高二下·湖北武汉·期末）It’s hard to say what is normal and what is weird where food is concerned—it all depends on the taste of the individual and which part of the world you come from. One person’s nightmare is another person’s delicacy. Here are a few of the strangest types of food from around the world.
Haggis (Scotland)
A world-famous dish, haggis is made from the parts of a sheep many people would throw away. The heart, lungs and liver are mixed together with onion, spices and oatmeal, then put inside a sheep’s stomach and boiled for three hours.
Sannakji (Korea)
Now that Japanese sushi is popular around the world, many people are used to eating raw fish. But Sannakji is different. It consists of octopus which is sliced up while alive. The octopus is then cooked in sesame oil and served with a dipping sauce. If you don’t chew the octopus carefully, it’s possible that the tiny suction cups on tentacles (触须) can stick to your throat.
Fugu (Japan)
Fugu is a famous Japanese fish filled with enough of the poison substance to be deadly. Chefs have to be trained before they can prepare the fish. Fugu actually tastes quite mild. The excitement is in surviving the experiences of eating it.
Frogs’ legs (France)
Frogs’legs are a popular dish in France, usually served with garlic. They’re said to taste like chicken, but some people find them to be too chewy. If you’re feeling brave, you can try frogs’ legs for yourself—just be sure to remove the skin and bones before you eat them.

High-tech cars
Continuing with efforts to deliver a zero-carbon event, Olympic organizers have partnered with a company to create several new vehicles to transport athletes between the Olympic Villge and their events using renewable energy sources. Such vehicles are battery-powered, which use LiDAR technology to map out its surroundings and drive autonomously. The company has also developed cell-powered buses and each can carry at most 38 passengers and transport them while releasing no carbon.
Robotic assistants
Meet the Human Support Robot (HSR)and Delivery Support Robot (DSR), both supporting the various activities of Olympic viewers. From guiding people to their seats to delivering food, these handy robots have been designed under the concept of providing viewers with support, including those with disabilities.
Remote communication
Near life-size displays have been combined with a set of wheels to create the T-TR1. These machines allow remote viewers to have two-way communication with people at the events using a built-in 360-degree camera.
Remote viewers
If there was ever a need for creating more innovative ways to virtually attend events, that time is now. An Olympic partner has developed the T-HR3 robot for remote viewers. This machine is controlled via a system that allows a person to move the entire body of the T-HR3 through wearable controls. However, the 5G wireless connection between the system and the robot can only support a physical distance of up to six miles.

（23-24高二下·湖北武汉·期末）It’s hard to say what is normal and what is weird where food is concerned—it all depends on the taste of the individual and which part of the world you come from. One person’s nightmare is another person’s delicacy. Here are a few of the strangest types of food from around the world.
Haggis (Scotland)
A world-famous dish, haggis is made from the parts of a sheep many people would throw away. The heart, lungs and liver are mixed together with onion, spices and oatmeal, then put inside a sheep’s stomach and boiled for three hours.
Sannakji (Korea)
Now that Japanese sushi is popular around the world, many people are used to eating raw fish. But Sannakji is different. It consists of octopus which is sliced up while alive. The octopus is then cooked in sesame oil and served with a dipping sauce. If you don’t chew the octopus carefully, it’s possible that the tiny suction cups on tentacles (触须) can stick to your throat.
Fugu (Japan)
Fugu is a famous Japanese fish filled with enough of the poison substance to be deadly. Chefs have to be trained before they can prepare the fish. Fugu actually tastes quite mild. The excitement is in surviving the experiences of eating it.
Frogs’ legs (France)
Frogs’legs are a popular dish in France, usually served with garlic. They’re said to taste like chicken, but some people find them to be too chewy. If you’re feeling brave, you can try frogs’ legs for yourself—just be sure to remove the skin and bones before you eat them.
