I’d like to do it the night before but that never happens," said the mother of two "There are a lot complaint "It's hard work. She's happy to outsoure (外包) two days a week to a business“Having two days off is like a dream," she said.“Sometimes I forgot that it was a Red Apple Lunch day. When I realize 1 do not have to make lunches, I'm so happy.Families around the country are finding new options for their children's lunches, thanks to a growing number of delivery options meeting the demands of students. Some deliver to the schools, others to homes. As for teens calling in their own food deliveries, some schools allow it and others don't. Lisa Farrell launched Red Apple Lunch after market research proved her doubt that lunch packing was a“stress point " for parents.“You only have so much time in the day," she said.“Some customers didn't like what was offered at the school. Folks just needed anoth er option.”She and her team pack healthy lunches, combining local food when possible and deliver them to homes so that kids can take them to school the next two days The company delivers two lunches on Monday and two on Wednesday.When Spencer Wood's daughter forgot her lunch last spring he arrange a 1ot red Apple Lunch to deliver her a meal. “I called the school to make sure it was OK，and they said families do it all the time," said Mr Wood, of Canal Winchester,Ohio. "They were very he driver." His 12-year-old helpful, telling me when to have it sent and reminding me to tip the he said.daughter, Madison, loved the special delivery of macaroni and cheese.24.

The Founding of Red Apple Lunch CompanyCThe Mona Lisa effect describes the phenomenon where the eyes in a portrait seem to follow the person looking at it, no matter where the person stands in the room. The effect was obviously named after Leonardo da Vinci s famous painting featuring the woman with the mysterious smile and the steady stare. But ironically (讽刺地), a new study/ finds that Mona Lisa may not be all that interested in tracking her observers. Two researchers from Bielefeld University in Germany found that the famous subject of the painting, also known, as "La Gioconda"，is actually looking just over your right shoulder.For the experiment , Horstmann and his research assistant Sebastian Loth gathered two dozen participants to take a look at the eyes of the painting. But they didn't just ask them if they thought Mona Lisa was looking their way. Instead they displayed part of her face on a computer screen, then asked volunteers to measure her stare using a carpenter's ruler that was held horizontally between them and the screen.Although the computer screen and the participants stayed in the same spot, the ruler was moved closer and farther from the screen during the trial. In addition, the researchers modified the size of Mona Lisa 's face and how much of her features were visible to see if that changed the perception of her stare. I he images showed varying degrees of rise一from 30 to70 percent with some showing her entire face and others showing just her eyes and nose.The researchers also moved the images several centimeters to the left and to the right, so the Participants wouldn’t just p ick the same measurement on the ruler each time.Horstmann and Loth published their results in the journal i-perception where they were very clear in their conclusion.“We conclude from the measurements that the; lack of evidences due to the declaration being objectively false: Mona Lisa does not stare at the viewer ,” theywrote.“There is no doubt about the existence of the Mona Lisa effect---it just does not occur with Mona Lisa herself.28. What does the new study find?A. The Mona Lisa effect does exist.B. The reason for Mona Lisa smile.C. What is the origin of the real Mona Lisa.D. Mona Lisa is not Straightly looking at the viewer.29. What were the participants required to do during the experiment?A. To operate a computer as they moved.B. To measure the direction of the stare with a ruler.C. To count the direction of the stare with a computer.D. To evaluate the distance between each participant.30. Which can best replace the underlined word“"modified” in paragraph 3?A. Estimated.B. Changed.C. Enlarged.D. Described.31. What do Horstmann and Loth think of the new finding?A. It's reasonable and clear.B. It's beyond expectation.C. It's short of solid evidence.D. It's consistent with previous studies.DWe have all been there. In a rush to leave the house we grab ou phone6 a head out of the door, realizing all too late that the battery is dead because we forgot 1oprog it into the table cloth. Or perhaps we have not. But this could be be future that scientists hope to explore with eletr6nic sheets that charge our Mobile phones, laptops and other equipment by harvesting energy from the world around us.In a step in that direction, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT)have created super- thin，bendy materials that absorb wireless Internet and other electromagnetic waves in the air and turn them into electricity. The lead researcher, Tomas Palacios, said the breakthrough smoothed the way for energy- harvesting covers ranging from table cloths to giant packing for buildings that catch energy from the environment to power sensors and other electronics.Palacios and his colleagues connected a bendy antenna(天线)to a flexible semiconductor(半导体)layer only three atoms thick. The antenna picks up wifi and other radio frequency signals and turns them into a current. This flows into a special semiconductor, where it is changed into a direct electrical current. Researchers have made energy-harvesting“rectennas ( rectifying antenna )”before,but existing equipment is made from conventional semiconductors which are inflexible, fragile and practically impossible to make in large sheets.The wi-fi signals can fill an office with more than 100 microwatts of power that is ripe to be collected by energy-harvesting equipment. The MIT system has an efficiency (效率) of between 30% and 40%，producing about 40 microwatts when exposed to signals bearing 150microwatts of power in laboratory tests.“It doesn't. sound like much compared with the 60w atts that a computerneeds, but you can still do a lot with it,” Palacios said. “ You can design a wide range of sensors, for environmental monitoring or chemical and biological sensing, which operate at the single microwatt level.”Medical equipment is another potential application. Because wi-fi and similarradio-frequency signals pass through people, energy-harvesting covers could be applied to implanted sensors to provide them with enough power to send out health data to an outside receiver.32. Wh at does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The phoneB. The door.C. The sheetD. The table.33. What is special about the new breakthrough?A. It can harvest wi-fi energy.B. It is super thin and flexible.C It can power all the electronicsD. It smooths the way of receiving signals34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A The team will focus on improving efficiency of the new equipment.B. A single device can harvest half of the energy in an office.C. Palacios is pleased with the fie of the new。
