11、l be a challenge, and it is further complicated by the impact of climate change on agriculture. That is why some people advocate an unusual way to boost the food supply and feed people sustainably by eating less meat and more insects.About 2 billion people already eat bugs. Mexicans enjoy chilly-toa

12、sted grasshoppers. Thais tuck into cricket stir-fries and Ghanaians snack on termites. Insects are slowly creeping on to Western menus as novelty items, but most people remain squcamish(拘谨).Yet there are three reasons why eating insects makes sense.First, they are healthier than meat. There are near

13、ly 2000 kinds of edible insects, many of them packed with protein, calcium, fiber, iron and zinc. A small serving of grasshoppers can contain about the same amount of protein as a similar sized serving of beef, but has far less fat and far fewer calories.Second, raising insects is cheap, or free. Li

14、ttle technology or investment is needed to produce them. Harvesting insects could provide livelihoods to some of the worlds poorest people.Finally, insects are a far more sustainable source of food than livestock. Livestock production accounts for nearly a fifth of all greenhouse-gas emissions, that

15、s more than transport. By contrast, insects produce relatively few greenhouse gases and raising them requires much less land and water. And they eat almost anything.Despite all this, most Westerners find insects hard to swallow.One solution is to use protein extracted from bugs in other products suc

Fortunately,

19、the only war zone where it fights and wins is the ancient board game Go(围棋).AlphaGo Zero, developed by Googleowned DeepMind, is the latest AI program.

Many would say “yes, definitely”, but the employees of one Swedish software consultancy company would

27、tell them otherwise. They dont have a CEO. Nobody tells anyone what to do, instead, all the 40 employees have meetings and decide together.Crisp has become world famous for not having a boss.

28、 but ultimately, the 40-strong staff decided to scrap the position altogether.Well, it turns out that not having a boss, and being involved in decision making has made Crisps 40 employees more responsible and motivated.
