12、he has hosted since 1976. I have a similar journal. But I am a writer, and she is a chemist.

13、y. “My God, I must have made that a hundred times. Do you remember them?” I did not. But I did remember that salmon mousse.Old friends came and went in her journal. New favorites joined the menu.

15、ather, who, despite being her ex-husband, appeared every year after their divorce.While my mother has always written in her journal before a dinner party, I write in mine afterward.

I should practice with old favorites. I should have a salmon mousse.And so I am putting this decision into practice at a dinner party for wr

17、iter friends. The menu is already written in my book. To start, a favorite of mine has already been cured in the fridge: salmon gravlax.

40、 the idea behind the Emotion Evoking System developed by Shigeo Yoshida and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. The system can manipulate, or in other words, control your emotions and personal preferences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling or frowning face.The principle

41、that physiological changes can drive emotional ones that laughter comes before happiness, rather than the other way around- is a well-established idea.The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to build a computer system that manipulates how you feel. The system works by presenting the

42、 user with a web-camera image of his or her face as if they were looking in a mirror. The image is then subtly altered with-software, turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the eyes, so that the person appears to smile or frown.Without telling them the aim of the st

43、udy, the team recruited(招募)21 volunteers and asked them to sit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task. When the task was completed, the participants rated how they felt. When the faces on screen appeared to smile, people reported that they felt happier. On the other hand, when the

44、 image was given a sad expression, they reported feeling less happy.Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunteers emotional state would influence their preferences. Each person was given a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webcam image. The volunteers that sa

45、w themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it, and those that saw themselves not smiling were less likely.“The system could be used to manipulate consumers impressions of products,” say the researchers. For example, mirrors in clothing-store fitting rooms

46、 could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections. They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive if they see themselves looking happy while trying them on.“Its certainly an interesting area,” says Chris Creed at the University of Birmingham, UK. But he notes that u

47、sing such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab, because people will use a wide range of expressions. “Attempting to make slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks believable would be much more challenging,” he says.Of course, there are also important mor

48、al questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology. “You could argue that if it makes people happy, what harm is it doing?” says Creed. “But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated uncomfortable and cheated if they found out.”1、Whats the main purpose of the Emotion Evoking Syst

49、em?ATo see whether one s facial expressions can be altered.BTo replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms.CTo see whether laughter comes before happiness.DTo see whether ones feeling can be unconsciously affected.2、What can we learn about the web-camera image in the study?AIt recorde

50、d the volunteers performance in the task.BIt attempted to make the volunteers feel happier.CIt gave the volunteers a false image.DIt beautified the volunteers appearance in the mirror.3、What does Creed mention as a limitation of the technologyAIt only deals with a limited number of facial expression

51、s.BIt only works in clothing stores.CIt only makes subtle changes to peoples expressions.DIt only changes the areas around the mouth and the eyes.4、What does Creeds comment on the moral issues with this technology imply?APeople should make their decisions independently.BTechnology is unable to manip

52、ulate people.CNothing is more important than happiness.DPeople should neglect the harm of the technology.25（10分） At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on things like candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases. To try to get his pee

53、rs（同 龄 人 ） to do the same, the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank, the BartselanaStudent Bank, which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.Set up in 2012, the bank is the worlds first bank for kids. To become a member, a kid has

54、to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management wor

55、kshops.The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to Joses efforts, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by the bank members. The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached. The account holder

56、can then withdraw the money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target. “At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls, “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.

57、 Luckily, I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class.”The boys efforts paid off, and by 2013, the bank had over 200 members, who brought in one ton of recyclable waste. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, boasts ten educational c

58、enters. They are designed to teach the over 3,000 students, aged 10 to 18 , to become financially independent, use their money wisely, and help the environment.Not surprisingly, Joses efforts have earned him several national and international awards. On November 20, 2018, Jose won Childrens Climate

59、Prize, which comes with a medal and $5,500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.1、Why did Jose set up the bank?ATo raise money and set up a recycling company.BTo buy necessities and donate them to needy kids.

60、CTo save much money and protect the environment.DTo educate the students and help them win prizes.2、How can a kid be admitted to the eco-bank?ABy donating to the eco-bank.BBy turning in one kilogram of waste in a month.CBy sending in an application.DBy presenting a goal and a certain amount of waste
