Cooling the serverscan be costly. So researchers asked what would happen if the heat created by the servers couldbe captured and used？‎ Data centers of large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computerservers. As these servers process information， they create large amounts of heat， so theyneed huge cooling systems. These systems send the heat into the air. The Dutch company Nerdalizethinks paying for electricity to operate the servers and then paying again to cool them isa waste of energy. So it developed a device called the e-Radiator. It is a computer serverthat also works as a heating source. Boaz Leupe is the chief executive officer of Nerdalize.‎ He says the e-Radiator saves money because companies don' t have to pay to cool their servers.The kilowatt（千瓦） hour you are using is used twice -- once to heat the home and once to computethe client' s task without the cooling overhead. He says five homeowners in the Netherlandsare testing the heating device in their homes. We ‎ reimburse the electricity the server uses，and that we can do because of the computer clients on the other side， and， in that way，homeowners actually get heating for free， and computer users don' t have to pay for the overheadof the data center.‎ Jan Visser is one of the participants in the year-long experiment. He says the amount of heatproduced by the e-Radiator depends on the work being done by the computer server. He says itcannot be used as the primary source of heat. But he is ready to try it.He says if it provides enough warmth， he will be able to use his home' s heating system less，which will save him money. Nerdalize says e-Radiators create heat temperatures of up to 55℃.‎ It says the devices could save users up to $440 in heating costs a year.‎ ‎1.

These researchers tinker (修补) with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices. They' rethe best toys out there， says Howle Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Chosetis a roboticist， a person who designs， builds or programs robots.‎ When Choset was a kid， he was interested in anything that moved--cars， trains， animals.He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later， in high school， he built mobilerobots similar to small cars.‎ Hoping to continue working on robots， he studied computer science in college. But when hegot to graduate school at the Califomia Institute of Technology in Pasadena， Choset' s labmateswere working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars： robotic snakes. Some robotscan move only forward， backward， left and right. But snakes can twist (扭曲 ) in many directionsand travel over a lot of different types of terrain (地形) . Snakes are far more interestingthan the cars， Choset concluded.‎ After he started working at Carnegie Mellon， Choset and his colleagues there bagan developingtheir own snake robots. Choset' s team programmed robots to perform the same movements as ‎ realsnakes， such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usuallydon' t， such as rolling.‎ Choset' s snake robots could crawl (爬行) through the grass， swim in a pond and even climba flagpole.‎ But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries，the doctor has to open a patient' s chest， cutting through the breastbone. Recovering fromthese surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by insteadmaking a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake？Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati， a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School， toinvestigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest andthey tested the robot in pigs.‎ A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people.Even after 15 years of working with his team' s creations， I still don' t get bored of watchingthe motion of my robots， Choset says.‎ ‎1. Choset began to build robots in high school. [答案 T]‎ ‎2. Snake robots could move in only four directions. [答案 F]‎ ‎3. Choset didn' t begin developing his own snake robots until he started working at CarnegieMellon. [答案 T]‎ ‎4. Zenati tested the robot on people after using it in pigs. [答案 F]‎ ‎5.

However， a major portion of thepopulation is against the consumption of genetically modified food and is concerned about itsdisadvantages. If you are also confused about the consumption of genetically modified food，read through the pros and cons given below and decide for yourself.‎ ADVANTAGES OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS ‎● One of the most prominent advantages of genetically modified food is that it helps incontrolling the occurrence of certain diseases. Certain foods cause allergy to people. Theirgenetic modification alters the DNA system of these foods， thereby making them non-allergic.‎ ‎●Another major advantage of such type of foods is that they grow faster than their traditionallygrown counterparts. As a result， there is greater productivity and more food.‎ ‎●A person need not bother about any additional costs， such as buying chemicals and pesticides，when it comes to genetically engineered food. The food is naturally pest-resistant.‎ ‎●Farming these foods can be a great way to fight world hunger. Since these crops grow fasteror more effectively， increased production would help countries wherein crops may not normallyprosper because of less than desirable environmental conditions.‎ ‎●The increased shelf life of these food products helps in reducing the quantity of rottenfood.‎ DISADVANTAGES OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS ‎●The biggest disadvantage of genetically modified food is that they have harmful effects onthe human body. The consumption of these genetically engineered foods can lead to developmentof diseases that are immune to antibiotics.‎ ‎●Chances of developing cancer are high in people who regularly consume engineered food.‎ ‎●Since it is an unnatural way of producing foods， there is an increased health hazard suchas allergens， transfer of antibiotic resistance markers and unknown effects.‎ ‎●Since the production of engineered food involves infusing animal genes in the crops andtampering with nature， it might not be good for consumption in the long run.‎ ‎1. How does genetically modified food control the occurrence of certain diseases？ [答案 C]‎ A. By cross-pollinating.‎ B. By conventional crossbreeding.‎ C. By altering the DNA system of these foods.‎ ‎2. Do farmers need to buy any chemicals and pesticides if they plant genetically modified food？[答案 B]‎ A. Yes， they need to. Because the food is not resist to pests.‎ B. No， they don’ t need to. Because the food is naturally pest-resistant.‎ C. No， they don’t need to. Because the chemicals and pesticides are provided by the government.‎ ‎3. Which statement is not the advantage of genetically modified food？ [答案 A]‎ A. It may have harmful effects on human body.‎ B. Genetically modified food grows faster than their traditionally grown counterparts.‎ C. Farming genetically modified food can help fight world hunger.‎ ‎4. What would happen to a person if he regularly consume genetically modified food？ [答案C]‎ A. He would get cold.‎ B. He would lose some weight.‎ C. He would have cancer.‎ ‎5. Which title is the best for this passage？ [答案 C]‎ A. Can genetically modified foods combat world hunger？‎ B. Genetically modified mood： our answer is no C.

Animal farming， after all， accounts for abouthalf of all human-caused greenhouse gases， taking place on one-third of the available，non-frozen land on Earth. All to feed people' s appetites for 300 million tons of meat a year.Modern Meadow is a Missouri-based startup that engineers tissues to create lab-grown ediblemeat， in a process that eliminates many of the negative environment effects associated withtraditional livestock practices.‎ The company claims that by carefully layering mixtures of cells of different types in a specificstructure， in-vitro meat production becomes feasible. It’ s set a short-term goal of printinga sliver of meat around two centimeters by one centimeter， and less than half a millimeterthick， which is edible.‎ The company explains in a submission to the United States Department of Agriculture： Thetechnology has several advantages in ‎ comparison to earlier attempts to engineer meat in vitro.The bio-ink particles can be reproducibly prepared with mixtures of cells of different type.Printing ensures consistent shape， while post-printing structure formation and maturationin the bioreactor facilitates conditioning.‎ However， it admits that the road ahead is strewn with difficulties. The consumer acceptanceof such products may not be without challenges. We expect it will first appeal to culinaryearly-adopter consumers and the segment of the vegetarian community that rejects meat forethical reasons. With reduction in price， it can reach the masses with religious restrictionson meat consumption (people restricted to Hindu， Kosher， Halal diets) and finally populationswith limited access to safe meat production.‎ Whatever the final outcome， lab-grown edible meat is no longer in the realm of science fiction.It is coming.‎ ‎1.
