1．Has the volume in a restaurant ever made you finish your meal early？If so，you're not alone.Restaurants handle diners in various ways to influence food choices and consumption，from lighting to menu to server presentation.Unfortunately for those headache-prone restaurant goers，some places also choose to turn up the tunes and the background noise.
Chef Mario Batali is often blamed for the phenomenon of very loud or noisy restaurants in the 1990s，when he decided to flood the dining room with the same loud tunes he was playing in his kitchen.And other chefs followed suit.Some restaurateurs felt a "livelier" atmosphere encouraged more customers to dine there，and a side "benefit" was quicker table turnover，thus increasing the number of people who could dine in a specific evening.
A 1985 study out of Fairfield University looked at how chewing speed varied according to the type of music being played.Although the volume level was kept the same for both musical situations，it's important to note that fast-tempo（節奏）music often gives the impression of being louder than slower music.
"A significant increase in the number of bites per minute was found，and the effect was largest for fast music"，the researchers wrote in the study.So，the faster，louder music gets people to down their food more quickly，relieving the table for future customers.
There are opinions about whether or not this is a sound practice."A restaurant that places profit above dining experience often plays loud music with a fast tempo that puts diners under pressure to eat more quickly，even if that means they're less able to enjoy their meal"，writes Dr.Neel Burton in Psychology Today，adding that loud，fast music reduces appetite.
What's more，some would-be repeat diners will shy away for fear of another very loud meal.The non-profit group Action on Hearing Loss found in a 2016 survey of nearly 1，500 people that 91% of those who view a restaurant as too noisy would choose not to return.

2．Some people can never be forgotten.That's because their names become common words.As many as 50，000 words in the English language get their meaning from people's names.Some are real people，while others are characters in books or stories.
Often a new dish is given the name of its inventor.The Chinese dish gongbao chicken was created in Sichuan Province by Ding Baozjye.ain.He served the hot dish when he was governor of the province from 1876 to 1886.After Ding died，people named the dish for him.
The fisherman Willem Beukelz began to pickle（腌制）fish in the 14 century.His method of pickling fish was widely used，but people didn't pronounce his name "Beukelz".Soon "pickles" became popular in many countries.
Granny Smith apples are named for Maria Ann Smith，a grandmother.Maria was born into a farm family in Britain in 1799 and married Thomas Smith at the age of 19.Then they moved to Australia.On their farm near Sydney they grew apple trees.Their special kind of apple became known in Australia as a Granny Smith.
More than just foods take people's names.Many people enjoy riding on a Ferris wheel，named for engineer George W.G.Ferris.He designed the first one for Chicago's World Columbian Exposition in 1893.

3．In Rochester，if you are a coffee lover，you must have heard of Java Joe's Cafe.For the local students，the Java Joe's on Gibbs Street has become a place of solace during stressful testing times，and on more heartwarming occasions，a social center.
Slowly approaching its thirties，Java Joe's has enjoyed a good reputation in its local.In 1978，Java Joe created a coffee farm in Hawaii.With great dedication to his craft，the great master of coffee beans made his way to Rochester then.In 1992，Joe decided to start selling coffee at the Public Market and opened up a store on Gibbs Street with the help of Michael Calabrese.So this store was originally named as the Gibbs Cafe.This location，next to the Eastman School of Music，is the first of many shops Java Joe opened.As a lover of the blues，Joe enthusiastically decorated this flagship store with artistic and musical influence.
After Gibbs' location，Joe planted another one where he was first starting out—in the Public Market.Later，it moved to a nearby building and received a name change—Java's at the Market Coffee Roasters.This building served as a place where those who visited would often catch a glimpse of Joe skillfully roasting his coffee beans in the dancing flames and cultivating his drinks with care.However，in 1997 he licensed "the Gibbs Cafe" to Calabrese，who then renamed it to what we know today—Java Joe's Cafe.
Joe remained in the Public Market location until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.Joe died of lung cancer at 68.The influence he had poured into his business is well-known and highly regarded.He has won many awards in his life.

4．There's a new frontier in 3 D printing that's beginning to come into focus：food．Recent development has made possible machines that print，cook，and serve foods on a mass scale．And the industry isn't stopping there．
Food production
With a 3 D printer，a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake．Not everybody can do that - it takes years of experience，but a printer makes it easy．A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to "re-create forms and pieces" of food that are "exactly the same，" freeing cooks to complete other tasks．In another restaurant，all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3 D-printed，rather than farm to table．
Sustainability（可持續性）
The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050，and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels．Sustainability is becoming a necessity．3 D food printing could probably contribute to the solution．Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids （水解膠體） from plentiful renewables like algae（藻類）and grass to replace the familiar ingredients（烹飪原料）．3 D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions．Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end，freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements．
Nutrition
Future 3 D food printers could make processed food healthier．Hod Lipson，a professor at Columbia University，said，"Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content，like vitamins．So instead of eating a piece of yesterday's bread from the supermarket，you'd eat something baked just for you on demand．"
Challenges
Despite recent advancements in 3 D food printing，the industry has many challenges to overcome．Currently，most ingredients must be changed to a paste（糊狀物） before a printer can use them，and the printing process is quite time-consuming，because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways．On top of that，most of the 3 D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients，because meat and milk products may easily go bad．Some experts are skeptical about 3 D food printers，believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants．
（1）What benefit does 3 D printing bring to food production？
A．It helps cooks to create new dishes．
B．It saves time and effort in cooking．
C．It improves the cooking conditions．
D．It contributes to restaurant decorations．
（2）What can we learn about 3 D food printing from Paragraphs 3？
A．It solves food shortages easily．
B．It quickens the transportation of food．
C．It needs no space for the storage of food．
D．It uses renewable materials as sources of food．
（3）According to Paragraph 4，3 D-printed food．
A．is more available to consumers
B．can meet individual nutritional needs
C．is more tasty than food in supermarkets
D．can keep all the nutrition in raw materials
（4）What is the main factor that prevents 3 D food printing from spreading widely？
A．The printing process is complicated．
B．3 D food printers are too expensive．
C．Food materials have to be dry．
D．Some experts doubt 3 D food printing．組卷：3引用：1難度：0.6

5．The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs．（1）
It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs．Doesn't the data look promising for the future？
（2）And jobs will pop up at every income level，from environmental manager to gardener．For example，many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind．（3）The increasing demand of newer resources has created the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs．In addition，in order to meet the increasing demand of environment-friendly equipment，both green product designer and trained workers are needed．Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers．
（4）Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter．Nowadays，different kinds of jobs are being posted online．Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management．Check regularly and find the right work for yourself．（5）
