Three years ago, a group of researchers at Cornell University Food and Brand Lab had a guess. They knew that many apples being served to kids as part of the National School Lunch Program were ending up in the trash, almost untouched. But unlike others, they wondered if the reason was more complicated than simply that the kids didn’t want the fruit.
They thought the fact that the apples were being whole, rather than sliced (切片的), was doing the fruit no favor. And they wanted to prove this idea.
They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption (消费) jumped by more than 60 percent when apples were served sliced. They then made a follow-up study at six other schools, which not only showed the same result, but further supported. The whole apple consumption at schools that served sliced apples reduced by about 50 percent than before.
Based on these results, it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us. Sliced apples just make more sense for kids. The hardest part is getting kids to start eating fruit, and that’s exactly why sliced apples are the way to go. A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin, eat around the core (果核), and deal with the inconvenience of holding a large fruit. These problems might seem silly or unimportant, but they’re important when you’re missing teeth or have braces (牙箍), as so many kids do.
Sometimes what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.
4. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Lots of apples served to kids were wasted.
B. Researcher supported the lunch program.
C. Apples are not the only acceptable fruit for kids.
D. The lunch program was well worth spreading.
5. What did researchers want to prove?
A. Kid didn’t want the fruits.
B. Kids favored the whole apples.
C. Kids preferred to the sliced apples.
D. Kid’s eating habits influenced fruit consumption.
6. According to the study, we can know________.
A. 14 schools served sliced fruits
B. kids have problems eating the whole apples
C. eating fruits must be healthy for children
D. few kids are missing teeth or have braces
7. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Form matters more than taste.
B. Apples are beneficial to each kid.
C. The way fruit is eaten links kids’ growth.
D. Inconvenience probably makes a difference.
C
Mark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”
After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”
When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.
The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients'
view of themselves.
Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.
“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”
Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”
8. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?
A. Indifferent.
B. Ridiculous.
C. Confident.
D. Surprised.
9. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?
A. He drew an artistic puppy.
B. He inked scars on her face.
C. He created a lip tattoo.
D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.
B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.
C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.
D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.
11. What could be the best title for the text?
A. A Life-changing Event
B. Miracle Tattoos
C. An Amazing Artist
D. A Promising Business
D
At Aizo Chuo Hospital in Japan, employees greet newcomers, guide patients to and from the surgery area, and print out maps of the hospital for confused visitors. They don’t take lunch breaks or even get paid. Why? They’re robots!
Robots have long worked in factories, helping to build cars and electronic appliances. But today’s robots don’t
just do the jobs of people－they actually look and act a lot like people.
Kansei, arobot from Japan, has a plastic face covering 19 movable parts. The robot can make 36 facial expressions in response to different words. Kansei shakes in fear at the word “war” and smiles when it hears the word “dinner”.
Researchers in Europe are going even further with iCub, a “baby” robot. They are teaching it to speak and hold conversations.
The ability to interact is crucial for robots that will one day work closely with humans says robotics professor ChrisAtkeson. “ This will require robots to understand what you say and how you are feeling and respond with appropriate emotions, ” he told WR News.
Japanese scientist Minoru Asada agrees. He is building a robot called CB2 that acts like a real baby. “ Right now, it only goes, ̒Ah, ah. ̓But as we develop its learning function, it will start saying more complex sentences and moving on its own, ” Asada says. “ Next-generation robots need to be able to learn and develop by themselves.”
Intelligent robot will become more important in the future, as populations age and the number of human workers declines in many countries. “ We’re going to have many more old people and not enough young people to care for them,” says robot researcher Matthew Mason. “ Technology can help the old people live at home longer, instead of going to nursing homes.”
12. According to the passage, what jobs have robots already performed?
A. Giving advice, answering customer questions and planning events.
B. Producing factory goods, building cars and greeting customers.
C. Greeting customers, producing factory goods and performing surgery.
D. Building cars, driving passengers and providing directions.
13. The second paragraph in this passage is mainly about?
A. To explain how a robot works.
B. To define what a robot is.
C. To describe the functions of modern robots.
D. To predict the future uses of robots.
14. How does the Kansei robot react on the word “fire”?
A. Use languages to warn nearby humans.
B Back up its memory files.
C. Activate an automatic fire alarm.
D. Produce a worried look on his face.
15. In Asada’s opinion, the next step for robots will be to develop_______.
A. the ability to learn independently
B. the ability to understand human commands
C. the capacity to interact with humans
D. the willingness to work together
