26、How to deal with small fish when catching
Learning how to fish involves more than catching and storing fish. It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure to keep fish variety and build their population size. 【1】
When catching a small fish, do not land it, or pull it out of water. 【2】
Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. 【3】 It might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.
【4】 If the hook (鱼钩) is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.
Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.
Do not hold fish in a bucket (水桶) or some other containers and later decide to release it. 【5】
With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.
A.Pull the fish up quickly.
B.Remove your hook quickly.
C.Use a fishing tool if necessary.
D.Do not wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish.
E.Keep the fish in the water as much as possible.
F.If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.
G.The tips below will make sure the released fish survives.
27、 A new kind of rice, golden rice, may soon make its way into the world’s food supply by the year 2021, reports Science magazine.
Golden rice was actually first developed back in the 1990s by German scientists who were looking for creative ways to reduce rates of Vitamin A deficiency(维生素A缺乏症) in human body, which continues to be a major concern throughout the developing world. Beta-carotene(胡萝卜素), which exists in some plants, can change into vitamin A in our body.
In view of beta-carotene’s characteristics, German scientists tried and managed to make rice filled with additional beta-carotene, which has a strong red orange color. The beta-carotene that is added to this rice is actually what conduces to its special golden color.
To German scientists, developing this rice was meaningful. But as with all GM(转基因的) crops, some people warn that the golden rice may be unnecessary and even harmful, possibly having some environment consequences. Until now, those voices have prevented golden rice from being planted anywhere.
However, that’s about to change. Bangladesh now plans to become the first country to approve golden rice for planting. Recently, golden rice is receiving a series of tests before the final approval of Bangladesh. Tests conducted by the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) found no new farming challenges with golden rice and no big differences in quality between the crop and the traditional varieties, with the exception that golden rice is more nutritious. Some other organizations are still doing tests about the environmental influences of the crop. If those results are also good, then golden rice will have received all the approval it needs to move forward with planting.
As for the future market for the golden rice, the crop will need to gain the public’s trust. And it remains to be seen whether golden rice will offer a better nutritional and economical choice compared to other sources of vitamin A, such as other vegetables where it occurs naturally.
【1】What was German scientists’ main purpose of working on rice?
A.To raise its output. B.To make it look prettier.
C.To collect its beta-carotene. D.To improve its vitamin A content in our body.
【2】What does the underlined part “conduces to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Causes. B.Changes. C.Removes. D.Lightens.
【3】What do BRRI’s tests show about golden rice?
A.It can hardly grow on the farmland of Bangladesh. B.It is nutritionally better than traditional rice.
C.It may do serious harm to the environment. D.It is no different from other rice in taste.
【4】How is golden rice’s future market in the author’s opinion?
A.Promising. B.Worrying. C.Uncertain. D.Hopeless.
28、How AI Protects Us
We should consider AI not as something competing with us, but as something that can strengthen our abilities. 【1】 And it might help keep us safe in the 21st century.
Predict infectious (传染性的) diseases
The AI in medicine is a system that combines the time and location of each new infectious disease. “These are all factors that determine how the disease will spread,” explains a researcher. 【2】 It will allow public health officials to take action early for locals.
Keep hunger from the door
Researchers develop an automated system aimed at fighting against diseases in crops. The Mcrops project allows local farmers to take pictures of their plants and use computers that have been trained to spot the signs of the four main diseases that are responsible for damaging crops. 【3】
Fight cancer
Cancer causes more than 8.8 million deaths worldwide and 14 million people are diagnosed with some form of cancer every year. 【4】 Now Google and IBM have been applying their AI technology to this problem.
【5】
The task of balancing power supplies is getting harder. The spread of smart meters — digital energy monitors that automatically record usage - is also providing more data than ever about how and when consumers use energy. The EU alone plans to have 500 million smart meters in homes by 2020.
A.Record the locations smartly.
B.Keep the balance of power supplies
C.Thus, the farmers can have a good harvest.
D.The system can also help to predict the disease.
E.This is because AI has an ability that’s far beyond humans.
F.But now people have no ideas how to deal with the terrible problem.
G.Yet catching cancers as early as possible can greatly improve a patient’s chances of survival.
29、Making a Good First Impression
It's important to make a good first impression with people. Whether they're a customer or a potential friend, you want them to think highly of you. If they don't, you're not likely to make much progress moving forward. 【1】 Before you've even opened your mouth, people have already formed an opinion of you based on your body language. With that in mind, it's a good idea to change how you present yourself to ensure you're not giving off a bad atmosphere.
♦ It's all in the face.
Any honest and fair person is going to be looking at your face when you're talking to them. Of course, that means whatever is going on up there will be picked apart more than anything else you do. 【2】 In the right circumstances, it will express warmth and show you to be welcoming, something that's unbelievably important for the first impression. Moreover, make sure to keep eye contact as often as possible・ It shows that you're focusing on them, especially when they're talking.
♦ 【3】
So many of us close our arms without thinking about it,but that's one of the biggest no-nos when it comes to first impressions. Standing there with your arms folded is going to set you apart from the crowd for all the wrong reasons. 【4】 This will drive people away from you very quickly and make a poor first impression.
♦ Show your interest.
【5】 The wrong movements or positions can signal that you don't care what the other person has to say. Fortunately, there are non-verbal cues (暗示)you can make which will show your interest without going overboard. These include things like leaning forward and giving purposeful nods. Small gestures like this show that you're taking part in the conversation and not invested (投入的)in something happening over their shoulder.
A.Open up your body.
B.Stand close to others in conversation.
C.Show your interest when others are talking.
D.However, there's more to the first impression than what you say.
E.Body language shows whether you're interested in someone or not.
F.It gives people the impression that you're bored and don't want to be there.
G.Make sure that you smile as often as possible if it's acceptable in the situation.
