At first, those who happened to pass by her and spare some change didn‘t even realize what a musical genius was playing. The emotional tune was not only masterfu lly played but also composed by Natalie herself when she was only 14. Gradually, as long as she appears, people will stop, absorbed in her music.

But can you imagine printing food?Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.Scientists say that it‘ll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food ‗inks‘ into theprinter. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients(原料) such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those fro growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw ―food ink‖. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food –based inks and gels(凝胶)?What‘s more , cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.28. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?A. Quick and popular.B. Easy and efficient.C. Nutritious and tasty.D. Soft and convenient.29. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?A. Traditional food would disappear.B. Many people could lose their jobs.C. It would affect the people‘s health.D. We could all eat the same food.30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.B. The future of 3D food printing is uncertain.C. It would hurt our tradition of food culture.D. 3D food printing would be a failure.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. 3D food ―printing‖: coming to the kitchenB. Can 3D printing create everything?C. 3D—printing food will be in fashion!D. The disadvantage of 3D food printingDThe year 2018 will mark the 100th anniversary of the deadliest influenza outbreak in history. It is estimated that the influenza pandemic(瘟疫) of 1918 killed more than 50 million people around the world. Other estimates go much higher. Because of a lack of medical record—keeping, we may never know the exact number.The influenza was a fast killer. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others died after a few days. ―their lungs filled with liquid and they choked to death.‖ The 1918 flu pandemic was also different from other outbreaks. It struck many young, healthy people. Viruses usually affect sick or old people.Although modern medicine effectively controls many diseases, influenza remains difficult to protect against. The World Health Organization estimates that every year influenza kills 250,000 to 500,000 people around the world. Each year, medical scientists develop flu vaccines(疫苗) which offer immunity(免疫) from some influenza viruses. But they can only guess which form of the virus will spread.Health officials remain concerned about another flu pandemic. New forms of the flu virus appear regularly. One ex ample was the ―swine flu‖ or H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in the United States says that virus caused a true pandemic.To stop the next pandemic, scientists are now researching how to create a universal influenza vaccine. In October 2017, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U. S. announced the Universal Influenza Vaccine Initiative. The university said researchers are leading an international effort to develop a universal influenza vaccine that will protect everyone against all forms of the flu anywhere in the world. The university added that researchers will begin tests in early 2018. the Human Vaccines Project, a public—private partnership, is funding the project. However, until a u niversal influenza vaccine is available, today‘s seasonal flu vaccine remains important.32. What do we know about the influenza in 1918?A. It swept across the whole Europe.B.
