Taking a photo of your food and posting it online is becoming more and more popular. However, not everyone thinks it’s such a good idea.

Food photos are popular on social networking sites. People often post pictures of their meals on Facebook or photo sites such as Tumblr and Instagram. Many of the pictures are of delicious-looking food from top-class restaurants. Some people even find it addictive（上癮的）. “I couldn’t get enough of it. I had to IG (instagram) every single meal,” one food poster wrote.

However, not all food photos are so attractive. There are now sites where you can post pictures of terrible-looking food. One such website is saddesklunch.com. Users send pictures of their depressing meals, which include things such as half-eaten bits of chicken and leftover pizza.

Sad Desk Lunch was created by office worker Kira Fisher in 2012. At the time, she was working as a video editor in New York. “I was starting at my rather terrible vegetable soup, which I was eating at my desk, and just thought, I can’t believe I’m eating this soup, let alone eating it alone at my desk,” she said. Other similar sites include cooksuck.com, foodporndairy.com and dimlyiitmealsforone. Tumblr.com.

Some chefs are trying to stop people photographing food in their restaurants. Gilles Goujon runs a three-star restaurant in southern France. He told news website France TV Info that every time his creations appear on social networks it “takes away the surprise, and a little bit of my intellectual property（知識產權）”.

Alexandre Gauthier is the chef at the “Grenouillere” restaurant a “no camera” logo on his menus. “Before, people took pictures of their family in the restaurant; now we take pictures of food... We tweet, we ‘like’（點贊）, we respond to comments, and the dish is cold,” he explained.

Will you be taking your camera next time you eat out?

1.On which of the following websites can you probably find photos of tasty food?

A. cooksuck.com B. instagram.com

C. saddesklunch.com D. foodporndairy.com

2.What’s Gilles Goujon’s attitude towards food photography in restaurants?

A. He dislikes it. B. He supports it.

C. He is interested in it. D. He is uncertain about it.

This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.

The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.

Sensors (傳感器) record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (腳踝發(fā)射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.

The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.

Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”

Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around £120, which will go on sale in March.

1.What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to?

A. People who are disabled. B. People who are interested in dancing.

C. People who invented the socks. D. People who are not good at dancing.

2.What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of?

A. They feel much softer than normal clothes.

B. They can monitor the movement of feet.

C. They are expensive to produce.

D. They act as a smart phone for users.

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks?

A. They can improve the skill of running.

B. They can help women walk better in high heels.

C. They can teach people to dance well.

D. They can be worn for days without washing.

4.According to Dr Vigano, _________.

A. everyone can make good use of the smart socks

B. users can run as fast as they like with the socks

C. 60 to 80 percent of runners would like to buy the smart socks

D. no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks

Since 2013, Torobo, a robotic arm designed to test the limits of artificial intelligence, has had one ambition—to be admitted to the University of Tokyo. However, it has repeatedly failed. This year was no exception.

In early November, Torobo took an exam to prepare for an all-important standardized test. While Torobo’s overall score of 525 out of 950 was 14 points higher than in 2015, its standard score of 57.1% was slightly lower, because human students did better in the 2016 test.

Though the score, which is higher than the national average, is enough to get the robot admitted to many other famous Japanese universities, it falls short of the minimum required for the University of Tokyo.

A closer analysis of the results showed that Torobo’s newly programmed ability to solve complex physics problems helped increase its year-over-year physics score from 46.5% to 59%. The robot also dug deep into its database of information from textbooks and websites to obtain an impressive 66.3% in world history. The average 60% scores acquired in the two math sections, were not too shabby, either.

But, while Torobo is able to handle knowledge-based questions and ones involving complex mathematical calculations, it has a hard time thinking independently. As a result, the robot is unable to comprehend multiple sentences and phrases to arrive at the logical conclusions required in the English language tests. This weakness was reflected in the weak oral and writing scores, which came in at 36.2% and 50.5%, respectively.

Fortunately, after four grueling years, the robot’s creators have decided to free Torobo from its annual test-taking suffering. The research team will instead focus on improving the robot’s ability to pick out specific answers from massive sets of data—a skill that led to its excellent history scores. They believe the expertise (專門技術) will help Torobo succeed as an industrial robot.

1.What is the disadvantage of Torobo?

A. It has weak independent thinking ability. B. It couldn’t sit through the exams.

C. It has much difficulty searching for facts. D. It doesn’t own language skills.

2.What does the underlined word “grueling” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. happy B. tiring C. successful D. independent

3.What did the exam results show?

A. Torobo was admitted to a university.

B. Torobo did well in the history exam.

C. Torobo’s score didn’t reach the national average.

D. Torobo’s programmed ability improved its math score.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. Subjects a robot is good at. B. Majors that are suitable for a robot.

C. A robot’s ways to deal with exams. D. A robot’s performances in exams.

Cleaning your plate may not help feed hungry children today, but the timeworn advice of mothers everywhere may help reduce food waste from the farm to the fork, help the environment and make it easier to feed the world’s growing population.

Hard data still being collected, but experts in Chicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten. The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month—about $40 worth, which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food. The US Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash.

“We forget we have all these fresh fruits and vegetables, and at the end of the week we have to throw them away”, said Esther Gove, a mother of three young children in South Berwick, Maine. “Now, I don’t buy as much fresh produce as I used to.”

But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond the kitchen. Agriculture is the world’s largest user of water, a big consumer of energy and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production. Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment and can ease pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, compared with nearly 7 billion today.

No matter how sustainable (可持續(xù)的) farming is, if the food’s not getting eaten, it’s not sustainable and it’s not a good use of our resources. In richer nations, fruit and vegetables end up in the trash because they aren’t pretty enough to meet companies’ standards, have gone bad in a home refrigerator or aren’t eaten at a restaurant. In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration. High food prices are another reason, since some people can’t afford the food that’s produced.

1.From the first paragraph, we know that cleaning your plate ________.

A. is you mother’s best advice for you

B. can solve certain problems for the world

C. can help feed hungry children all over the world

D. helps meet the growing population’s needs

2.The underlined word “emitter” in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A. user B. finder C. protector D. producer

3.What is a sustainable and convenient way for a customer in a restaurant?

A. Ordering enough and packing the leftovers.

B. Ordering more than he or she can eat.

C. Ordering less and feeling hungry after leaving.

D. Ordering more and leaving the untouched alone.

4.Which of the following topics will follow the text?

A. More examples of food waste. B. Ways to reduce food waste.

C. Experts’ idea on the environment. D. Advice for food with high prices.
