A rare experience

Imagine the situation. You’re walking down the crowded high street and s1.　 a complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years ago. How are you doing?” This stranger isn’t necessarily m 2. . He or she might be a “super - recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to recognise people they have seen only once -- a long time ago, maybe in a crowed.

Whatever the differences in looks

It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye their hair or go grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and makeups give them new a3. , but the “super - recognisers” can still recognise them.

An inborn skill

Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face - blindness, which means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only new realising that some people are the exact o 4. .Tests have shown that a “super - recogniser” can identify people that they only saw for a brief moment --　 and this is not an ability that we can d5.　 , it’s something we are born with.

A great h　 6.

The police are starting to use “super - recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds. They look for people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they can even recognise quite o7.people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability can be used for a very practical purpose indeed.

“There is no love which is more sincere than the love of food,” said Anglo-Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Like Bernard Shaw, many writers e1. food very much, and they say and write interesting things about it.

British poet Owen Meredith(1831-1891) learnt a lot about food when he lived in Paris. He famously said, “We may live without friends, we may live without books, but civilized(文明的) men cannot live without c2.

American writer Mark Twain also wrote a lot about food. “When you have t3. watermelon,” he wrote, “you know what angels eat.”　　　

American cookbook writer Alice May Brock has some simple rules about food from different c 4.;“If you want to cook international food, it’s easy,” she wrote. “Put tomatoes on the plate and it’s Italian. Use soy sauce and it’s Chinese. A 5. wine to the recipe(食谱) and it’s French. Sour cream makes it Russian and lemon makes it Greek. But garlic makes it good! Cheers!”

Tea and coffee are even more i 6. for some people. There is a Chinese saying, “It is better to go without food for three days, than tea for one.”

American President Abraham Lincoln was often rude about the tea and coffee which was served to him. For example, he was in a Washington restaurant one day, and when the main meal was over, a cup of hot l7.was placed in front of him. He drank a bit and was clearly angry. “Waiter,” he said, “if this is coffee, please bring me some tea; and if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”

My Big Day

There were about 15 kids there for audition（试镜）when we arrived. I had been u1. about being late on this Big Day but the bus, which moved slowly all the way, woke up and almost galloped for the last half mile. Dad and I jumped off and ran to 171 High Street. I had e2. a shiny building but what I saw was a broken ancient door. And the room into which we all crowded was dark and didn’t have enough chairs. A boy was p3. his audition piece loudly, unaware of everyone else in the room. Most of the kids were in jeans, but a few dressed seriously cool as if they spent every day on film sets and lunching with s4. . I felt a bit embarrassed about my dressing.

A girl called us away, one by one, to be auditioned. I breathed deeply and slowly as I had learned to do-ever since my first part in the school play, when I was extremely nervous and n5. forgot everything I had memorized. I repeated my speech to myself with all the pauses and emphasizes in the right places. I knew I was good. I really wanted this part, I wanted to pay Dad back for all the work he’d done for me. I wanted to make him proud of me. And I know I could do it.

Suddenly - there it was my n6. ! I followed the girl down a corridor into a large room with three men and a woman sitting behind a long table. The woman looked up and said hello. Then the middle man looked up and stared hard at me.

"How tall are you?" he asked.

“I’m 1.6 metres.” I said, trembling slightly.

The man looked at the woman and I saw him s7. his head.

The woman turned to me and said. “I’m so sorry. That’s just a bit too tall for this part. They should have told you”

Recently the unmanned aircraft which are called drones (无人驾驶飞机) have come into use for a number of business purposes.

Basically, a drone is a flying robot. The aircraft (飞行器) may be remotely controlled or can fly a 1.________ through flight programs in their systems. The little planes used to be very costly. In the past, they were mostly used in the military (军事). But as they have d 2.________in price more people have begun to use them. Rescue workers and fanners are among the new users.

A company in France is using drones to help farmers examine their crops and limit the amount of fertilizer (肥料) they use. The fast development of computer technology, image sensing devices (图像感应设备), satellite navigation (卫星导航) and cell phones has led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developers have learned how to build smaller and less-costly drones.

Moviemakers are using drones to film from the sky. Historians (历史学家) use them when they explore a 3.________. buildings. Rescue workers use them to look for people. And now farmers are using them to m4.________their crops.

Romain Faroux is a French businessman who starts companies. His father was a farmer. He believed drones could help fanners. He helped create a company that developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the g5.________ . They called it “Agridrone (农业无人机).” It uses a special “optical sensor (光学感应器)” to examine crops.

The technology used is similar to that used by smartphones except it has wings. A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the drone records four different-colored “bands” of sunlight (太阳光带) that are reflected off (反射) the crops.

Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer. He says the drone flies over his crops at different time of the season. He says this provides a lot of information about his crops. The drone pictures show him the exact amount of fertilizer the crops need. It also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed.

Romain Faroux says farmers use information g 6.________ by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it was needed. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere. Drones also save time because farmers can examine u 7.________ to three hectares (公顷) in about a minute.

All work and no play makes children depressed. Becky, an 8-year-old girl, used to be happy when she finished classes every day, but now, life has become unhappy. To make sure she has enough time for the lessons, she has to study until 11 at night to finish her homework.

Some ideas are offered for helping cultivate(培养) kids’ talents.

“I used to go to the park with my parents on weekends before because I like playing tennis with my dad and I can play well,” a boy said, “But now, I h　　 3.　　 have time to do that any more.”

“I would like to try other things, such as drawing,” Nara said. She was interested in drawing, but her parents thought it was not a bright way for her.

Children now spend more time doing homework than playing, and we all know it’s quite n　 4.　　 for them to have plenty of sleep. A lot of homework and heavy school bags are driving more young children away from a joyful childhood.
