Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are be

20、ing used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.“The problem for air pollution is that its been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People dont realize how bad it is, and how i

21、t actually affects their health.” Londons poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about the pollution they re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do som

22、ething about it.Nearby, on a windy hill in Londons Regents Park, an experiment is underway that could helpthe first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol.

24、llution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But its illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London, rig

25、ht?” he says. “They liveactually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for thei

29、incess is the one defending the castle. Parisa Tabriz is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering- “Google Security Princess”. Her job is to hack into the most popular web browser（瀏覽器）on the planet, trying to find weaknesses in the system before the “black hats” do. To def

30、eat Googles attackers, Tabriz must firstly think like them.Tabrizs role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started working at Google. Back then, the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50 security engineers-today there are over 500.Cybercrime（網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪）has come a l

31、ong way in the past decade - from the Nigerian Prince Scam to credit card theft. Tabrizs biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Googles software, and sell the information to governments or criminals. To fight against this, the company has set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying an

32、ywhere from $100 to $ 20, 000 for reported mistakes.Its a world away from Tabrizs computer-free childhood home in Chicago. The daughter of an Iranian-American doctor father, and Polish-American nurse mother, Tabriz had little contact with computers until she started studying engineering at college.

33、Gaze across a line-up of Google security staff today and youll find women like Tabriz are few and far between（稀少的）- though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses.

But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with

38、a plan to provide drinking water for the states citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will

39、then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.The companys director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme,

40、 according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be g

41、ood for tourism and the weather.”The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of drou

42、ghts over the next 25 years.An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使轉(zhuǎn)向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in gi

43、ant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world.” Mr. Al Shehi added.1、What can we learn about the UAE project?AIt will help the UAE harvest freshwater.BIt will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.CIt will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.DIt will completely change t

46、mployees a new convenience: a microchip implanted (植入) in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay

47、 for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting th

48、e chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be

49、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 perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.Three Square Market is

50、 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 says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are wit

51、hin 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 humans, according to the company.In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, eve
