12、plant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands.

The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office build

14、ing, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕帶) or a ring with a chip instead. They can

15、 perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.Three Square Market say

16、s the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar, to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004，so they should be safe for h

The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank-faced police woman had handed him after taking h

21、is thumb prints. He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swung open.At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings, his worn-out cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left. The policeman dramatically held the blue

22、plastic bag at an arms length to the old man who took it and made sure its contents were undamaged: the goat meat, palm oil, leaves and spices. He ignored the confused expression on the officers face and signed the document declaring he had been returned the possessions they had taken off him the ni

23、ght before.No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit.“Mr. Easy-nwa?” He stopped and prayed to the God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces, clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name righ

24、t.“Ezenwa,” He said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips, her name tag said Jessica Harlow, Social Services. “A bit far from home，she said as she drove fast and with confidence the way Evelyn used to. He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50,000 miles from Enugu，a city in

25、Nigeria. He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say about the weather, bad drivers, her daughters school play.At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived.“Got here in the end”，said she seriously, “Really Mr. Easy-nwa, if you keep getting lost, we will have to consid

26、er moving you into a home”.“No need, I was not lost，he answered. He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands, relieved the pipes were not frozen. In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat. The herbs and spices that h

27、ad taken him three months to track down, the uziza seeds had taken him into the heart of Granby Market in Liverpool, his uchanwu leaves down a shady back alley in Manchester, and yesterday, among other food items, the finest goat meat from a Sierra Leonean Butcher in Birmingham. That had taken some

28、time, so much he missed the last train and when the police found him shivering outside the locked up station, so cold he couldnt answer loudly enough the pink-faced big copper who yelled in his face, “Whats your name sir?” spraying his face with spittle (吐沫）as he did so, leaving them with no choice

29、but to search an exhausted, frozen old black man and finding him in possession of mysterious condiments (調(diào)味品）including a bag of dried bitter-leaf which could of course be mistaken for anything that resulted in him getting read his rights and charged with .possession?He lifted the lid of the bubbling

35、es our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception（感知） of the food in front of us.Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual clues, like p

36、late size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, peoples hunger levels were predicted not by how much theyd eaten but rather by how much food theyd seen in fro

37、nt of themin other words, how much they remembered eating.This disparity (新舊研究的差異）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.Hung

38、er isnt controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal， Brunstrom says. This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought.These findings echo earlier research that

39、 suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our bodys response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷爾蒙），depending on whether the shakes label said i

40、t contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought theyd consumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits

41、 of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.1、What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake?AHow we feel the food we eat.BWhen we eat our me

42、als.CWhat element the food contains.DHow fast we eat our meals.2、What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal?AYou would probably be more particular about food.BYou would not feel like eating the same food.CYou would have a good appetite.DYou would not feel so h

43、ungry.3、What do we learn from the 2011 study?AFood labels may mislead consumers in their purchases.BFood labels may influence our bodys response to food.CHunger levels depend on ones consumption of calories.DPeople tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary.4、What does Brunstrom suggest we d

A

53、recent report said that 40%of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $ 16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded

54、the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The pa

55、per analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money pe

56、ople spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least 15% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your

57、 fast food $ 2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping. According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers author, countri

58、es in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipp

59、ing well is a chance to show off.”1、This passage is mainly about .Adifferent kinds of tipping in different countriesBthe relationship between tipping and customCthe origin and present meaning of tippingDmost American people hate tipping2、Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “ca
