【推荐2】A food service app is allowing customers to buy restaurant food at a low price before it goes into the waste bin.

Too Good To Go provides buyers with a bag of nearly wasted, but perfectly good food for takeaways as a way to cut food waste and help support the restaurant industry.     1     The app is one of the several winners of Fast Company's 2021 World Changing Ideas Award, which reports that 40% of the food in America is wasted.

    2     However, it's possible to know how many meals the app has prevented from going there. Originally sold only in a few selected American cities, 200,000 meals have been sold.     3     And over 1,500 restaurants have signed up in cities like New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. At present, 150,000 orders are going out the door per day in 15 countries.     4    

It is also easier for the restaurants since it's nearly impossible to guess and predict what will be available at the end of any night. Decomposing（分解）food in landfills is a major source of methane（甲烷）, which can cause climate—related damage before completely decomposing after a decade. “We think we can save more than 2 million meals from the trash in the U.S. in 2021.     5    ” said Lucie Basch, co-founder of Too Good To Go.

【推荐2】Facial recognition is a technology that uses distinguishable facial features to identify a person.     1     It may allow you to unlock your phone, go through security at the airport, and purchase products at stores.

    2     The police use the technology to uncover criminals or to find missing children or seniors. Airports are increasingly adding facial recognition technology to security checkpoints. When people know they are being watched, they are less likely to commit crimes. So using facial recognition technology could prevent crime.

Another advantage is that, since there is no contact required for facial recognition like there is with fingerprinting or other security measures, facial recognition offers a quick, automatic, and seamless contact experience.     3    

The biggest drawback for facial recognition technology in most people’s opinions is the threat to an individual’s privacy. In fact, several cities have considered or will ban real-time facial recognition observation used by law enforcement agencies.     4     It’s just not allowing the government bodies to use live facial recognition software.

In addition, there are issues that need to be resolved when a person changes appearance or the camera angle isn’t quite right. However, it’s dramatically improving now, according to independent tests by a U. S. research institute.     5    

In order to benefit from the positive aspects of facial recognition, our society is going to have to work through some significant challenges to our privacy and civil liberties.

【推荐3】The last time my husband and I went out for a dinner in a restaurant, the server came and recited (背诵) a long list of specials and detailed descriptions of how the food was made. As she spoke. I became almost more interested in how she could remember all those descriptions than thinking about the food, Meanwhile. I couldn’t remember where I’d put my keys before we left for the restaurant.

Objectively (客观地) speaking, not remembering where you put your keys is generally not a sign of dementia (痴呆). And on the other side, being able to remember a long list of restaurant specials isn’t necessarily a sign of surprising mental ability, either.

While most of us are afraid about developing dementia. fewer than 10% of adults age 65and older will end up with dementia such as Alzheimer’s. “For them, developing a condition like Alzheimer’s is a part of normal aging,” says Joel Salinas MD, an expert at NYU Langone Health. And, he adds. “There are areas that actually improve with age, like vocabulary and wisdom.”

While genetics and family history play some role in the risk of memory problems. so do plenty of other reasons, For example, some medicine and alcohol can cause memory problems, especially for older people.

The brain might be the place that memory is stored, but it doesn’t exist in the air. The health and efficiency of the brain depend a lot on the general health of the body. In short, what’s good for the body is good for the brain. Many of the lifestyle factors that can improve memory are the same that have a positive effect on general health, such as, exercising properly. having a balanced diet, and sleeping well.
