One of beers most important ingredients（成分）is water. If water bees limited, then, will people have to stop making beer? Beer makers have already thought of that possibility. So, in some cities, people are testing out beers made from collected and filtered rainwater.They are also collecting rainwater and water from the beer-making process for use inside the beer factory. Sierra Nevada is a well-known beer factory in California. It uses rainwater for cleaning and washing toilets. Beer makers understand the importance of saving water. If there is no water, there is no beer.That is why Stone Beer pany, near San Diego, California, worked with a local water treatment program to make beer. The program is called Pure Water San Diego. It wants to provide one-third of the citys water by 2035.Working with Pure Water, the beer factory used purified water that came from wastewater. Wastewater is water that has already been used for showers, washing dishes or toilets.Stone is a large beer factory. So it was a big deal when Stone released a special beer called Full Circle Pale Ale in March. Many websites and newspapers wrote about the beer. They reported that it was made from “toilet water.” Local television stations recorded peoples reactions as they tasted the beer.Stone later wrote a blog post saying it was not happy with all of the news coverage-especially reports that centered on the idea of “toilet water.” But it was happy that the experiment was a success.The beer was only made for a special event. Stone Beer is not permitted to sell in stores or at the restaurants.28. Why do some beer makers use rainwater to make beer?A. To try new sources of water.B. To make special taste for beer.C. To reduce the cost of production.D. To give up pure water in production.29. What did Stone Beer pany want Pure Water San Diego to do?A. Help it to develop new kind of beer.B. Supply the majority of water to the city.C. Make waste water clean enough to make beer.D. Deal with its waste water from the beer production process.30. What do we know about the special beer “Full Circle Pale Ale”?A. It was weled by the public.B. Few people dared to taste it.C. It will be sold in large quantities.D. It received great attention from the media.31. What did Stone Beer pany think of the reports about the beer?A. They are satisfying.B. They are disappointing.C. They are surprising.D. They are beneficial.DThe way people walk can provide clues about their personality, claims a new study carried out by researchers at the University of Portsmouth. Using motion capture technology, researchers found that movements of both the upper and lower body reveal certain personalities, such as aggression, agreeableness and outgoingness. The technology is widely used to record the movements of an actor, which are then translated to an animated character on screen.Lead researcher Liam Satchell said, When one is walking, the body naturally swings(摇摆)a little. An aggressive walk is one where this rotation is exaggerated. The study also found that personalities that help with social skills - such as agreeableness and outgoingness - were particularly evident in people with increased pelvis(骨盆） movement alone.“While little swagger（大摇大摆）and little sway in a walk could indicate a person of great creativity,” MrSatchell told MailOnline. The study assessed the personalities of 29 participants using a standard personality test. Participants were also asked to plete a questionnaire that measured their levels of aggression. Motion capture technology was then used to record how they walked on a running machine at their natural speed. While people may be aware that there is a relationship between swagger and psychology, this is the first research to provide evidence based on experiments. We know of no other examples of research where the walk has been shown to have close connection with self-reported measures of personalities and suggest that more research should be conducted between automatic movements and personality. If CCTV observers could be trained to recognize the aggressive walk shown in this research, their ability to recognize crimes likely to happen very soon could be improved further said Mr Satchell.32. What can we know about “motion capture technology”?A. It is specially intended for fast-moving objects. B. It helps to improve actors acting techniques.C. It has been widely used in the field of film. D. It is a kind of exaggerated shooting skill.33. People who walk with less overall movements tend to be _.A. aggressive B. creative C. shy D. honest34. What do Mr Satchellls words in Paragraph 4 suggest?A. Theres a long way to carry out such studies.B. The findings will be mainly used to prevent crimes.C. The research result has been put into practice.D. Theres no relation between aggression and walk. 35. What is the suitable title for the passage?A. What is your personality type?B. A new way of recognizing crimesC. How to read a persons intentionD.
