2 . Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (平民的) clothes. People have become used to expecting superb quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on bills for washing. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and stay in good condition for a longer time than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they often think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

3 . I'd always loved the idea of reading to kids when I was a teen and sworn that by the time I had children of my own, I'd read to them as often as possible. Even when my older son was a baby, I read to him every single night. As time went on, it became a place, a time of bonding, of uninterrupted connectivity, of non — formal learning and deep joy. Bedtime stories became an essential part in our household.
In the days and months after my older son's autism （自 闭症）assessment, sleeplessness would raise its ugly head so frequently. I read as much literature and observed my son as much as I could. I decided that even routinizing something as simple as preparation for bed may be key to both him and the rest of the household getting a good night's sleep.
“Our Bedtime Routine” was thus born. I made sure to include a massage （按摩）as often as possible. Even a cup of delicious hot chocolate was part of the schedule. But central to our routine was a bedtime story. Having a solid bedtime routine meant that most days，my sons had a good start to their next day.
My older son still struggled with the simple yet challenging business of falling asleep. There has been a bedtime story program where local stories are being read to children on social media. Three of my very own stories were read on this program? Read2MeTT. When my older son again struggled to close his eyes, I, inspired by Read2MeTT and recalling our old routine? read one of my stories to my sons.
At 16, my older son's too old for a bedtime story, too old to be comforted by the gift of a nightly tale. Or is he? For the first time in over a month, my older son smiled, pulled up his sheets and simply went to sleep.

4 . If you're planning to go on a diet, or if you suffer from serious conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), knowing exactly what and how much you're eating is essential. In this day and age, we have calorie and nutritional calculators even on our smartphones, but they act only as guides, whereas Panasonic's revolutionary new device, CaloRieco, actually analyzes the food on your plate and provides accurate information about in just a few seconds.
You've probably used calorie calculators before, and you know that they only offer general information. For example, a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a hamburger, but it can't tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger. The same goes for nutrients like protein or fats. And this is what makes the new CaloRieco so special.
Displayed at a recent tech show, CaloRieco is a high tech device that uses light reflection technology to determine the nutritional values of almost any food and also provide accurate calorie estimates. All you have to do is put your plate in the box-shaped device and wait between 10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food on there.
Once it's done analyzing the various ingredients in your meal, CaloRieco displays the number of calories, as well as the nutritional content on an LED display. According to Panasonic, the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and very dark dishes.
CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your handheld, so you can access it whenever you need.
Panasonic said that its outstanding invention is aimed at dieters and diabetes sufferers, both of which make up a sizable market. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco, as the device presented at the show is just a prototype (样品) which needs to be improved. It's scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years, but the price remains a mystery.

6 . While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being "tea people". The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea became more and more popular among different social classes.
There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in colour,because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize(氧化）before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk,although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon.
You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers(茶托）for visitors.
Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease . The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than 1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.
Still, what goes around comes around ; it's sure to become fashionable again.

7 . Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) have grown wood-like structures from cells taken from the leaves of a flowering plant.
The results were recently reported in a study. Velasquez-Garcia, the lead researcher, said the process is still in the early stage. But if it can be perfected, it could simplify and speed up the production of wood products. “The way we get these materials hasn't changed in centuries and is very inefficient,” Velasquez-Garcia said.
For example, the current process of making a wooden table can take many years. First, a tree has to grow. Then, it must be cut down, transported, processed, etc. Velasquez-Garcia says lab-grown wood could combine all those steps into one. “you want a table, then you should just grow a table.” he said.
The process is similar in some ways to lab-produced meat, which is grown from live animal cells. But in the wood experiment, the MIT team collected live cells from the leaves of a zinnia plant.
The plant cells were then kept in an environment designed to support growth. Plant cells can become anything if they are induced to.
The experiment was carried out indoors, without soil or sunlight. During the process, the researchers used a mixture of two plant hormones that helped the cells grow a thick, strong wood-like structure. With further study, the researchers say they could use the same process to grow wood in specific shapes, such as a table.
Such a lab-based farming method “promises to improve yields while reducing plant waste and competition for arable land,” the research study states.
David Stern is a plant biologist, who was not involved in the study. He said one big question is whether the technology can remain economically competitive since the method would require major financial and intellectual investments. And he said new issues would arise when parts of forestry and agriculture were brought into the lab. “Agriculture uses the sun's energy through photosynthesis, and…natural rainfall. It does not require buildings, heat, or artificial light,” Stern said.

8 . The Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins of Shark Bay in Western Australia have an unusual way of obtaining food.
They drive fish into a large, empty marine gastropod shell. Then they carry the shell and captured(捕捉)fish up to the surface, and shake it upside down. Then, the fish go straight down into the dolphins' stomachs. It's called shelling, only the second tool use recorded among dolphins, and the first that dolphins have been seen learning from their friends, just like great apes.
The dolphins were first observed using tools over 20 years ago, slipping sea sponges over their beaks(喙)to protect them as they searched for food. This behaviour is called sponging, and it allows the dolphins to access food in deeper water channels than non-sponging dolphins.
Sponging is a skill passed down from mothers to daughters-a type of learning called vertical transmission. But there is another kind of learning, horizontal social transition, in which individuals pick up skills from their social peers-their friends.
There are similarities between dolphin and great ape societies that have led scientists to believe that dolphins should be capable of horizontal leaning.
Now a team of researchers led by behavioural ecologist Sonja Wild of the University of Konstanz in Germany has finally identified it.
Their data comes from over a decade's worth of observations. Between 2007 and 2018, the researchers documented over 1.000 individual dolphins across nearly 5,300 encounters with the animals.
They used genetic, behavioural and environment data to model the likely transmission pathways, and found that shelling was likely spread among friends, rather than passed down from parents.
This opens the door to a new understanding of how dolphins may be able to behaviourally adapt to changing environments.
In 2011, a large marine heatwave destroyed the seagrass habitat of Shark Bay, in which the dolphins search for food. This resulted in a die-off of both fish and the invertebrates that live in the giant shells that the dolphins use for their fishing, and, afterwards there was an immediate increase in the dolphin's shelling behaviour. It's possible that both the decrease in fish and the increase in shells could have played a role in this uptick.

9 . A four-year-old girl stunned paleontologists after she found a perfectly-preserved dinosaur footprint that dates back 220 million years.
Lily Wilder made the discovery on January 23 while walking along a beach in South Wales with her father and their dog.The family was on their way to the supermarket when Wilder saw the footprint imprinted on a rock.
“It was on a low rock, shoulder height for Lily, and she just spotted it and said, ‘Look, Daddy,’” her mother, Sally Wilder, said.“She is really excited but doesn't quite grasp how amazing it is.”
At first, the family thought the print, which is just over 10 cm (4 inches) long, was scratched out on the rock by an artist.But mother Sally was aware that similar footprints had been found along that piece of the coast before, so she posted about their discovery on social media.“I found this fossil identification page on Facebook and I posted it on there and people went a bit crazy,” she told Wales Online.
Shortly after, the National Museum of Wales got in touch with the Wilder family, and officials have since retrieved the print and put it in the museum.
Experts believe the footprint was most likely left by a dinosaur that stood about 75 centimeters (29.5 inches) tall and 2.5 meters (about 8 feet) long and walked on its two hind feet.It is impossible to identify exactly what type of dinosaur left it, although experts typically classify the print as a Grallator.
Welsh scientists are calling the girl's discovery “the finest impression of a 215 million-year-old dinosaur print found in Britain in a decade,” according to Wales Online.
The family says their daughter's interest in dinosaurs has been inspired since the discovery and that she's been playing with a collection of dino toys and models.“If her name goes down as the finder in the museum, it could be her grandchildren going to visit that in the museum one day, and for years and years and generations to come, which is quite amazing,” mother Sally told Wales Online.
1. Why did Sally choose to post the print on Facebook?| A．To honor an artist. | B．To test her popularity. |
| C．To make people crazy. | D．To identify their discovery. |
| A．Divided. | B．Repaired. | C．Improved. | D．Gained. |
| A．It was left by a young dinosaur. | B．Its true maker is still unclear. |
| C．Its finder will soon be forgotten. | D．It was the finest ever found in a decade. |
| A．She likes walking along the beach. | B．She often asks for toys and models. |
