21、 If a steaming bowl of soup strikes you as the ultimate in comfort, you've got plenty of company. Soup is one of the world's oldest and most universal foods.
These are CNN's nominations for 4 of the best soups around the world:
Beef pho / Vietnam
Broth is simmered for hours with cinnamon, star anise and other warm spices to create a wonderfully fragrant base for this noodle soup.
Beef pho remains the most beloved version in Vietnam, with options that include the original raw beef, a mix of raw and cooked beef.
Bouillabaisse / France
Bouillabaisse distills classic Mediterranean flavors into a dish which has the same meaning as the coastal city of Marseille. Saffron, olive oil, fennel, garlic and tomatoes blend with fish fresh from the sea.
Lanzhou beef noodle soup / China
Shaping-or pulling-la mian noodles by hand for this traditional soup is an art in itself. Artisans use a finely milled, high-gluten flour and alkaline powder to mix a stretchy dough, then pull and fold a single piece of dough to make enough noodles for a bowl of soup.
Slip them into a bowl of beef soup for a world-class soup that includes tender beef, pale slices of carrots, chili oil and fresh herbs.
Tom yum goong / Thailand
Sweet, sour, spicy and salty, this soup's magnificent broth is the ideal foil for sweet, tender shrimp. Fragrant ingredients include galangal, lemongrass and lime leaves, while slivers of bright red bird's eye chilis add additional heat.
Tom yum goong is just one of many varieties of tom yum soup in Thailand - this version comes enriched with fat prawns, and is a favorite with many diners.

22、 Shop with Your Doc is part of a broader and still growing movement in US medicine to shift the focus away from simply treating disease toward caring for the whole person. It is meant to help people make educated, healthy choices one grocery cart at a time. Across the country, hospitals are setting up food banks and medical schools are putting cooking classes on the curriculum. Nonprofits are connecting medical centers with community resources to ensure that low-income Americans have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
For centuries, Western medicine’s mission was to cure disease. But over the past generation, two generation, two significant trends are of concern to the medical community, says Timothy Harlan, executive director of Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans. Healthcare costs began to soar (激增), and relatively inexpensive, poor-quality food became more common. “There’s a very straightforward link between people improving their diets and improving the condition that they have,” Dr. Harlan says.
The connection drove the medical and nonprofit communities to rethink their approach to health. What emerged was the concept of the “social determinants of health”— the notion of taking into account the biological, physical, and socioeconomic circumstances surrounding a patient. A healthy person isn’t just someone who is free from disease, the theory goes; he or she also enjoys “a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being.”
The question the medical community now faces is how to get patients — especially low-income families — to recognize these determinants and make it possible for them to eat and live healthier. In Boston, medical experts responded by creating an on-site pantry (食品室) at Boston Medical Center. Since its founding in 2002, the pantry has evolved into a kind of nutrition center where primary care providers at BMC send patients for food. Today the pantry, which gets 95 percent of its stock from the Greater Boston Food bank, hosts free cooking classes and serves about 7,000 people a month. The Greater Boston Food Bank has also launched its own initiatives, striking partnerships with four community health centers across the state to offer free mobile produce markets. The organization also helped develop toolkits (软件包) that map local pantries. markets that accept government food vouchers, and other resources.
At Tulane in New Orleans, Harlan is leading the development of a curriculum that combines medicine with the art of food preparation. His philosophy: Doctors who know their way around a kitchen are better at helping their patients. And empowering patients to take charge of their own diets is one way to help them deal with the incredible costs of health care, Harlan says. The curriculum has since been adopted at 35 medical schools around the United States. Chipping away at bad habits is a good place to start getting patients to think about the choices they make for themselves and their families, say Dr Maureen Villasenor, the Orange County pediatrician (儿科医生).
【1】The aim of Shop with Your Doc is to________.
A.help patients relax before an operation

【2】Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly talk about_________.
A.the role Western medicine has been playing
B.how a new concept of health came into being
C.medical communities’ worries about food safety
D.why low-income families are less reliable on healthcare
【3】What do we know about the Greater Boston Food Bank?
A.Its cooking classes are free of charge.
B.It was founded at the beginning of the 21st century.
C.It helps people locate pantries and markets.
D.It treats many a patient from BMC.
23、 Sonoma County is adding artificial intelligence to its wildfire fighting. The county has entered into an agreement with the South Korean firm Alchera to equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software that detects wildfire activity and then issues a warning to authorities.
The technology examines past and current images of terrain (地形;地势) and searches for certain changes, such as flames burning in darkness, said Chris Godley, the county’s director of emergency management. But emergency workers will first have to“teach”the system to distinguish between images that show fire smoke, and others that might show clouds, fog etc. The software will use feedback from humans to improve its algorithm(算法) and will eventually be able to detect fires on its own — or at least that’s what county officials hope.
“It’s kind of like learning how to read,” Godley said. “What letters can I put together to make up a word?” The county activated the technology Wednesday and received 16 positive reports of smoke — all of which turned out to be permitted burns, he said. Once a seasonal ban on controlled burns goes into effect in April or May, the county plans to speed up the testing and feedback phase. The hope is that by November, the system will no longer need to be taught and can start providing reliable intelligence. Godley said. “It’s going to take us a while to make sure we get the bugs out and that we really can depend on it because ultimately this is a lifesaving mission.”
The technology is intended to help officials investigate potential fire starts earlier so they can get personnel out to them more quickly and issue necessary warnings. Officials expect other places will adopt it if the technology is successful, particularly because it plugs into the camera network that’s already in place statewide.
“We ultimately believe its potential could be realized in a year or two,” Godley said. “And it could really have a dramatic impact here in California.”
【1】What does the system first have to do before being put into work?
A．Equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software.
B．Learn to tell between images of fire smoke and other pictures.
C．Use feedbacks to improve its ability to detect fire independently.
D．Examine images of the terrain and search for any possible changes.
【2】What do local officials expect the technology to accomplish?
A．Be able to make positive reports of smoke.
B．Be able to control seasonal burns in the area.
C．Help them spot potential fire starts as soon as possible.
D．Learn how to distinguish pictures of flames from clouds.
【3】What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?
A．kill all the bugs.
B．get rid of mistakes
C．provide reliable information
D．speed up testing process
【4】What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
A．AI is creating a dramatic impact in California.
B．AI is applied to monitor terrains in California.
C．A new tool to help detect wildfire in California.
D．A new way to put an end to wildfire in California.
24、My mother suffered COPD and heart failure, which made her have great difficulty breathing or catching her breath. For the last 5 years of her life, my most common memory was of her leaned over an outdoor trash can, trying to get enough air.
I was away getting my Master’s in Theatre Arts when she passed away. My mind was unhinged (精神错乱的). They pulled me off my desk and took me to the local mental health facility. I was just at tech week for the show Fefu and Her Friends. My office mate and fellow director Sarah Jane Hardy took over the production and saw it safely through.
But this is just the beginning of the kindness that surrounded me. She sat with me in my apartment when I returned and let me fall apart in a safe space. My dad traveled with me from Phoenix to Utah to see the final performance. My department chair allowed me to fold over my thesis (论文)and turn it into an MA researched thesis so I could return home at the end of the year having graduated. My roommates helped motivate me to go to classes.
This was one of the hardest chapters in my life and so many people came to help me to heal. I think before this time I would have prized intelligence or education as the highest trait (特点) in a person, but afterwards, I’ve felt that kindness defines people most. The world would be a cold place if we did not have friends who showed it openly in our times of need.
