In rder t help discver spilage (变质) and reduce fd waste fr supermarkets and cnsumers, researchers have develped new lw-cst, smart phne-linked, ec-friendly spilage sensrs fr meat and fish packaging.
One in three UK cnsumers thrw away fd just because it reaches the use-by date, but 60% (4.2 millin tns) f the £12.5 billin-wrth f fd we thrw away each year is safe t eat.
The researchers, whse findings were published in ACS Sensrs, say the sensrs culd als finally replace the use-by date, which is nw widely used t tell if fd is fresh and eatable.
The sensrs cst tw US cents each t make. Knwn as “paper-based electrical gas sensrs (PEGS)”, they sense spilage gases like ammnia (a pisnus gas with a strng unpleasant smell) in meat and fish prducts. The infrmatin prvided by the electrnic nse is received by a smart phne, and then yu can knw whether the fd is fresh and safe t eat.
Lead authr Dr. Firat Guder, f Imperial’s Department f Biengineering, said, “Althugh they’re designed t keep us safe, use-by dates can lead t eatable fd being thrwn away. They dn’t always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, peple ften get sick frm fd-brne diseases due t pr strage, even when an item is within its use-by
date.
“These sensrs are cheap enugh s we hpe t see supermarkets using them within three years. Our gal is t use PEGS in fd packaging t reduce unnecessary fd waste.”
The authrs hpe that PEGS culd have applicatins (应用) beynd fd prcessing, like sensing chemicals in
agriculture, air quality, and detecting disease markers in breath.
What is the functin f PEGS accrding t the text?
T imprve the service f stres.
T help supermarkets stre fds.
T imprve the taste f fd prducts.
T help peple test fd freshness.
What rle des the smartphne play while PEGS are functining?
It acts as an electrnic nse.
It reads the infrmatin cllected by PEGS.
It discvers the spilage gases frm fds.
It helps print the gas sensrs nt paper.
What des Dr. Firat Guder say abut use-by dates?
They are nt cmpletely reliable.B. They can help reduce fd waste.
C. They are nt accepted by cnsumers.D. They are based n scientific research.
What des the authr mainly talk abut in the text?
The prcess f researching spilage sensrs.
A new technlgy in packaging t reduce fd waste.
Use-by dates’ influence n supermarkets and cnsumers.
Varius applicatins f the electrnic nse in fd strage.

In 1995, a middle-aged man named McArthur Wheeler rbbed tw banks in Pittsburgh during the day. He didn’t wear a mask — he even smiled at the security cameras befre leaving each bank. That night, the plice arrested him. When fficers shwed Wheeler the camera tapes, he lked shcked and said, “But I used the juice!” Wheeler thught rubbing lemn juice n his skin wuld make him invisible t the cameras. He knew lemn juice wrks as “invisible ink” — yu can’t see what’s written with it unless yu heat the paper. S he believed he wuldn’t shw up n the tapes if he stayed away frm heat.
This strange case gt the attentin f David Dunning, a psychlgist at Crnell University. He asked his graduate student Justin Kruger t help figure ut what was ging n. They fund that almst everyne thinks their abilities (like scial skills r thinking skills) are gd, but sme peple mistakenly believe their abilities are much better than they really are. This wrng sense f cnfidence is nw called the “Dunning-Kruger effect.”
T study this, Dunning and Kruger did experiments with cllege students. In ne test, they asked students questins abut grammar, lgic and jkes. Then they had the students guess their scres and hw they did cmpared t thers. The students wh scred the lwest verestimated their abilities the mst. Fr example, thse at the bttm thught they did better than tw-thirds f the ther students!
It’s cmmn fr peple t verestimate their abilities. But the prblem with unskilled peple is that they nt nly make bad chices — they als can’t tell they’re making mistakes. In a year-lng study, gd students culd better guess their future exam scres if they gt feedback (反馈) n their grades. But pr students still didn’t realize they were ding badly, even when they gt clear, repeated feedback. Instead f thinking abut their mistakes, they
insisted they were right. As Charles Darwin wrte in The Descent f Man (1871): “Ignrance mre frequently begets
cnfidence than des knwledge.”
Interestingly, very smart peple als can’t assess their abilities accurately. Just as D and F students verestimate their skills, A students underestimate theirs. The difference is: if given helpful feedback, skilled peple can adjust their self-assessment — but unskilled peple can’t.
Why did McArthur Wheeler rub lemn juice n his skin befre rbbing the banks?
He wanted t prtect his skin frm the sun.
He thught it wuld make cameras unable t catch him.
He used it t hide the smell f his sweat in the bank.
He believed it culd help him stay calm during the rbbery.
Which f the fllwing statements abut the Dunning-Kruger effect is TRUE?
The effect is true fr everyne in daily life.
It suggests that mst peple lack abilities.
Sme peple are vercnfident abut their abilities.
The cnclusin is made based n many bank rbberies.
The underlined wrd “begets” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “”.
A. results inB. makes use fC. brings dwnD. breaks away frm
What can we infer frm the passage?
True knwledge means knwing hw much yu dn’t knw.
It’s impssible fr peple t judge their real ability level.
Wrng cnfidence is the main reasn why peple fail.
Peple with great abilities ften have a lw pinin f themselves.

Cld weather is gd fr yu
With winter appraching, peple begin t cmplain abut cld weather. 16 There’ s plenty t lve abut
cld weather. And there’ s plenty f evidence that cler temperatures can be part f a healthy life.
First, cler temperatures can help yu lse weight. It can als help yu sleep better. Yu might feel uncmfrtable at first if yu cl yur bedrm dwn. But if yu, fr example, switch yur bedrm temperature frm 72 dwn t 62 degrees gradually ver a few weeks, yur bdy will adjust. 17
I have lng kept my winter huse temperature at 62 degrees. Hw did I find that number? Well, I experimented n myself abut eight years ag. 18 I started at 66 and turned it dwn ne degree every few days until 60. I
fund when the temperature was clder than 62, I culdn’t fcus. But 62 was perfect. Anther benefit fr me was that it als kept me clear-headed while wrking at hme.
Interestingly, science als says 62 degrees is the magic number fr brainwrk. 19 It said 62 degrees was
the temperature at which the schlby subjects f the study functined perfect. And while we’ re speaking f wrk and schl, ther research shws that peple study better when the weather utside is “bad”.
20 But accrding t a Harvard Health Letter frm 2010, prper cld temperatures culd be gd fr skin
because it trains bld vessels in the skin t be respnsive. S, rsy cheeks ! There’ s n reasn t be afraid f winter weather. Hug it and yu, t, can enjy the seasn.
I recently read a 1972 study.
And yu’ll save mney n energy csts as well.
Many peple like t use cld water t wash their face.
At that time, I wrked at hme and liked warm temperature.
Mst f us think cld weather leads t dry skin and wrinkling.
The reasn was that I hated spending mney n heating bills.
But if yu’ re active and healthy, it desn’t have t be a negative thing.

It was in the 1930s, and things were tugh. Mum had a hard time raising us n her wn in ur small cmmunity f New Westminster, BC. My dad had drwned in Pitt Lake, five years ag.

Rent was 25 dllars a mnth, but Mum culdn’t pay it, and we knew we wuld be evicted right after Christmas n the first f January.

Unknwn t Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snw, and ding part-time jbs t earn enugh mney t buy a new pair f bts. Bts that weren’t patched, bts with n cardbard in the sles. I knew exactly which bts I wanted. They were ten-inch Tp Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price f 23 dllars.

On meeting Oh G Seng, the first thing that strikes yu is the bright light in his eyes. He wears his 79 years very lightly, lking in far better shape than many peple half his age.

In rder t help discver spilage (变质) and reduce fd waste fr supermarkets and cnsumers, researchers have develped new lw-cst, smart phne-linked, ec-friendly spilage sensrs fr meat and fish packaging.
One in three UK cnsumers thrw away fd just because it reaches the use-by date, but 60% (4.2 millin tns) f the £12.5 billin-wrth f fd we thrw away each year is safe t eat.
The researchers, whse findings were published in ACS Sensrs, say the sensrs culd als finally replace the use-by date, which is nw widely used t tell if fd is fresh and eatable.
The sensrs cst tw US cents each t make. Knwn as “paper-based electrical gas sensrs (PEGS)”, they sense spilage gases like ammnia (a pisnus gas with a strng unpleasant smell) in meat and fish prducts. The infrmatin prvided by the electrnic nse is received by a smart phne, and then yu can knw whether the fd is fresh and safe t eat.
Lead authr Dr. Firat Guder, f Imperial’s Department f Biengineering, said, “Althugh they’re designed t keep us safe, use-by dates can lead t eatable fd being thrwn away. They dn’t always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, peple ften get sick frm fd-brne diseases due t pr strage, even when an item is within its use-by date.
“These sensrs are cheap enugh s we hpe t see supermarkets using them within three years. Our gal is t use PEGS in fd packaging t reduce unnecessary fd waste.”
The authrs hpe that PEGS culd have applicatins (应用) beynd fd prcessing, like sensing chemicals in
agriculture, air quality, and detecting disease markers in breath.
What is the functin f PEGS accrding t the text?
T imprve the service f stres.
T help supermarkets stre fds.
T imprve the taste f fd prducts.
T help peple test fd freshness.
What rle des the smartphne play while PEGS are functining?
It acts as an electrnic nse.
It reads the infrmatin cllected by PEGS.
It discvers the spilage gases frm fds.
It helps print the gas sensrs nt paper.
What des Dr. Firat Guder say abut use-by dates?
They are nt cmpletely reliable.B. They can help reduce fd waste.
C. They are nt accepted by cnsumers.D. They are based n scientific research.
What des the authr mainly talk abut in the text?
The prcess f researching spilage sensrs.
A new technlgy in packaging t reduce fd waste.
Use-by dates’ influence n supermarkets and cnsumers.
Varius applicatins f the electrnic nse in fd strage.

In 1995, a middle-aged man named McArthur Wheeler rbbed tw banks in Pittsburgh during the day. He didn’t wear a mask — he even smiled at the security cameras befre leaving each bank. That night, the plice arrested him. When fficers shwed Wheeler the camera tapes, he lked shcked and said, “But I used the juice!” Wheeler thught rubbing lemn juice n his skin wuld make him invisible t the cameras. He knew lemn juice wrks as “invisible ink” — yu can’t see what’s written with it unless yu heat the paper. S he believed he wuldn’t shw up n the tapes if he stayed away frm heat.
This strange case gt the attentin f David Dunning, a psychlgist at Crnell University. He asked his graduate student Justin Kruger t help figure ut what was ging n. They fund that almst everyne thinks their abilities (like scial skills r thinking skills) are gd, but sme peple mistakenly believe their abilities are much better than they really are. This wrng sense f cnfidence is nw called the “Dunning-Kruger effect.”
T study this, Dunning and Kruger did experiments with cllege students. In ne test, they asked students questins abut grammar, lgic and jkes. Then they had the students guess their scres and hw they did cmpared
t thers. The students wh scred the lwest verestimated their abilities the mst. Fr example, thse at the bttm thught they did better than tw-thirds f the ther students!
It’s cmmn fr peple t verestimate their abilities. But the prblem with unskilled peple is that they nt nly make bad chices — they als can’t tell they’re making mistakes. In a year-lng study, gd students culd better guess their future exam scres if they gt feedback (反馈) n their grades. But pr students still didn’t realize they were ding badly, even when they gt clear, repeated feedback. Instead f thinking abut their mistakes, they
insisted they were right. As Charles Darwin wrte in The Descent f Man (1871): “Ignrance mre frequently begets
cnfidence than des knwledge.”
Interestingly, very smart peple als can’t assess their abilities accurately. Just as D and F students verestimate their skills, A students underestimate theirs. The difference is: if given helpful feedback, skilled peple can adjust their self-assessment — but unskilled peple can’t.
Why did McArthur Wheeler rub lemn juice n his skin befre rbbing the banks?
He wanted t prtect his skin frm the sun.
He thught it wuld make cameras unable t catch him.
He used it t hide the smell f his sweat in the bank.
He believed it culd help him stay calm during the rbbery.
Which f the fllwing statements abut the Dunning-Kruger effect is TRUE?
The effect is true fr everyne in daily life.
It suggests that mst peple lack abilities.
Sme peple are vercnfident abut their abilities.
The cnclusin is made based n many bank rbberies.
The underlined wrd “begets” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “”.
A. results inB. makes use fC. brings dwnD. breaks away frm
What can we infer frm the passage?
True knwledge means knwing hw much yu dn’t knw.
It’s impssible fr peple t judge their real ability level.
Wrng cnfidence is the main reasn why peple fail.
Peple with great abilities ften have a lw pinin f themselves.

Cld weather is gd fr yu
With winter appraching, peple begin t cmplain abut cld weather. 16 There’ s plenty t lve abut
cld weather. And there’ s plenty f evidence that cler temperatures can be part f a healthy life.
First, cler temperatures can help yu lse weight. It can als help yu sleep better. Yu might feel uncmfrtable at first if yu cl yur bedrm dwn. But if yu, fr example, switch yur bedrm temperature frm 72 dwn t 62 degrees gradually ver a few weeks, yur bdy will adjust. 17
I have lng kept my winter huse temperature at 62 degrees. Hw did I find that number? Well, I experimented n myself abut eight years ag. 18 I started at 66 and turned it dwn ne degree every few days until 60. I
fund when the temperature was clder than 62, I culdn’t fcus. But 62 was perfect. Anther benefit fr me was that it als kept me clear-headed while wrking at hme.
Interestingly, science als says 62 degrees is the magic number fr brainwrk. 19 It said 62 degrees was
the temperature at which the schlby subjects f the study functined perfect. And while we’ re speaking f wrk and schl, ther research shws that peple study better when the weather utside is “bad”.
20 But accrding t a Harvard Health Letter frm 2010, prper cld temperatures culd be gd fr skin
because it trains bld vessels in the skin t be respnsive. S, rsy cheeks ! There’ s n reasn t be afraid f winter weather. Hug it and yu, t, can enjy the seasn.
I recently read a 1972 study.
And yu’ll save mney n energy csts as well.
Many peple like t use cld water t wash their face.
At that time, I wrked at hme and liked warm temperature.
Mst f us think cld weather leads t dry skin and wrinkling.
The reasn was that I hated spending mney n heating bills.
But if yu’ re active and healthy, it desn’t have t be a negative thing.

It was in the 1930s, and things were tugh. Mum had a hard time raising us n her wn in ur small cmmunity
f New Westminster, BC. My dad had drwned in Pitt Lake, five years ag.
Lking back, I realize what Mum went thrugh sending us kids t schl. Every mrning she wuld put a new piece f cardbard in ur shes, because the bttm parts were wrn ut. When we gt hme, Mum wuld have “French tast” ready fr us. Cnstant mving was typical fr my family in thse times. Rent was 25 dllars a mnth, but Mum culdn’t pay it, and we knew we wuld be evicted right after Christmas n the first f January.
Christmas was appraching, and we were entitled t a twenty-five-dllar Christmas fund frm scial services. The inspectr came t ur huse, and searched it frm tp t bttm t be sure we didn’t have any fd hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque t Mum.
Mum said that instead f buying fd, she wuld use the 25 dllars t pay back rent, assuring all f us a rf ver ur heads fr a little while lnger. She tld us then there wuld be nthing fr Christmas.
Unknwn t Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snw, and ding part-time jbs t earn enugh mney t buy a new pair f bts. Bts that weren’t patched, bts with n cardbard in the sles. I knew exactly which bts I wanted. They were ten-inch Tp Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price f 23 dllars.
Well, the big day came n the afternn f Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the rad t the she stre, but n the way I nticed a huse with Christmas lights and decratins. It was then I realized at ur huse, we had n lights, n decratins, nr any mney fr Christmas meals. I knew that we wuld have n turkey r ham fr Christmas, and I felt sad.

And then my Mum’s face appeared, drwned in srrw, trying in vain t explain t us all why we shuld celebrate Christmas with n presents, n decratins r n turkey. At exactly that mment, it came t
my awareness hw selfish I was. Feeling the mney in my sweaty hand, I made a big decisin and stepped int the grcery stre. Having finished shpping, I made my way hme, excited and prud f my chice.
With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I kncked n the dr. I culd hardly wait t see my mther’s face! N sner had I pened the dr than sme f the Christmas gdies fell inside nt the flr. She just std there, dumbfunded. Hlding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas!” Next mment, I was welcmed by the mst passinate hugs and kisses frm my belved Mum.
