Hello London foodies!

I’m kicking off this week’s blog by talking about a fantastic new Turkish restaurant in Soho called Moda. I can’t remember ever eating better dolma or hummus-it was so delicious! The chef insists that the fruit and vegetables are brought over every day from Turkey—and from nowhere else. He may be a perfectionist, but it was so delicious that I can’t complain. Moda isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny.

And I’ve got great news for you. When I told him that I write a food blog, he said he’d give all my readers a 10% discount! Just mention this blog when you book.

A very different restaurant, where I had lunch last Monday, is Chez Fitz. Situated near Leicester Square, its main selling point is that its food is all locally sourced (within 30 kilometers of the restaurant). My friends and I were completely surprised-we had no idea that so much could be grown so close to central London. But it turns out that there are pockets of green all over the city-you just need to know where to look.

One final point: I couldn’t believe how pricey my weekly shop was this week. Normally it’s about ￡ 40, but this week it was more than ￡ 55 for more or less the same amount of food. Any ideas why?

More in a couple of weeks as I’m going away on my holiday tomorrow. COMMENTS Ecovore

I am not sure if we should be supporting restaurants like Moda. They are very bad for the environment. What about all the extra carbon emissions from the ‘foodmiles’ created by bringing over those ingredients from Turkey?

A Richmond man was picked as a CNN Hero for creating a non-profit (非营利的) organization that coaches and creates cycling teams for at-risk children living in the projects.

Richmond Cycling Corps members meet up several times a week for practice and training for competitions, but Craig Dodson, who created the organization back in 2010, says the non-profit is more than that.

“We’ve gotten kids out of prison. We deal with heavy issues (问题) in their life,” Dodson said.

Dodson and two other Richmond Cycling Corps workers make sure their students do

not have a reason to fail.

“There is a lot of trauma (创伤) with these kids,” Dodson said. “We are like the Navy Seals. We have to be there for every part of their life.”

22-year-old Christopher Mason was one of their first members. Mason was also Dodson’s inspiration for starting this organization.

Mason, who was 16-year-old at the time of joining Richmond Cycling Corps, is one of eight kids. He grew up on Fairfield Court and said he had seen many friends die by violence and didn’t want to be the next victim (受害者）.

“This program has helped me dig deep into myself and find things I didn’t think I could do,” Mason said. “I lost a lot of friends to the same thing, in the wrong place at the wrong time. So, knowing I could be the same victim or the same thing could happen to me, this is actually my escape.”

The inspiration for the organization came from an event back in 2005 when Dodson was asked to speak to a group of students in a park. However, Dodson didn’t know that several of them lived in the projects.

“I start telling these kids, ‘Don’t do drugs and you can be just like me.’ They just looked at me like, ‘You fool. There’s no bridge big enough to get me to where you are,’” Dodson told CNN.

Now 20 kids living in the projects look up to the 37-year-old as a father figure. The Richmond Cycling Corps is moving to Fairmount Avenue to be closer to the kids they help.

25. What can we learn about Richmond Cycling Corps? A. Its workers are local cyclists. B. It was set up for cycling lovers. C. It aims to help kids in trouble. D. Its members used to be prisoners.

26. Why did Christopher Mason choose to join the non-profit? A. To live a different life. friends.

C. To influence kids in his place.

D. To help save victims of

B. To avoid meeting his

violence.

27. What does the underlined sentence show? A. The kids felt hopeless about their future. B. The kids didn’t want to live like Dodson. C. The kids decided to turn to Dodson for help. D. The kids didn’t think much about doing drugs.

C

I may not be on Vine or whatever the kids are using these days, but I’m on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I love being able to stay in touch with people living on the other side of the planet, I like sharing pictures of my cat and I’m even one of those people who shares lots of food pictures. I enjoy seeing people “like” my posts and comments, and my Facebook app is the first thing I look at in the morning-sometimes even before my eyes are fully open.

That being said, I haven’t posted a picture about being pregnant on Facebook or anywhere else. I actively keep an eye out for any of my friends referring to my pregnancy in posts and comments and don’t allow any of them on my timeline. My husband is also of the same mindset, so if we haven’t mentioned it to you, chances are you don’t know anything about my pregnancy.

This has been and will continue to be a very purposeful decision on both our parts. We simply don’t believe that, beyond perhaps a simple birth announcement (maybe even without a picture), our child’s life should end up on Facebook.

This generation of kids is the first one in human history to have their lives shared in a forum as public as the Internet without their permission. Parents all over the world put their kids’ pictures on Facebook. I get the reasoning: Everyone wants to share pictures of their kids with friends and family. More often than not, such photos capture sweet moments and I’m sure grandmas and grandpas the world over are glad to have such easy access to their grandsons and granddaughters. I also take more and more pictures of our kids. After all, they’re lovely, and who doesn’t have a cell phone camera handy at all times?

For my part, I just don’t want my kid on social media until she’s old enough

to put herself on there. Family pictures might be one thing, but posting cutesy photos of a baby’s first bath is another. I don’t know where my kid’s pictures might end up some day-surely the last thing a parent could want is for a darling photo of their kid to show up somewhere totally wrong.

28. What’s the author’s attitude to social media? A. She is fond of the idea.

B. She seldom posts pictures.

D. She prefers Vine to

C. She can’t live without them. Facebook.

29. Why doesn’t the author post a picture about her pregnancy on social media? A. Her husband doesn’t allow her to do so. B. She is going to give her friends a surprise. C. She wants to keep her baby out of the public eye. D. Her husband doesn’t like posts without pictures.

30. Why do parents post their kids, pictures online according to the author? A. To share sweet moments.

B. To bring the family closer. D. To please the older

C. To show off before friends. generation.

31. What may be a worry to the author according to the last paragraph? A. Family pictures may change social media. B. Kids may get angry about their parents’ posts. C. People may show no interest in kids’ pictures. D. Posting kids’ pictures may put them in danger.

What if the car waiting patiently behind a parked bus is a driverless or autonomous vehicle (AV)? Will this robot car be able to understand what you mean when you flash your lights or madly wave your hands? Its sensors could decide that it’s only safe to overtake when there’s no oncoming traffic at all. On a busy road at school home time, this may be never leading to increasingly angry passengers and increasingly angry drivers queuing behind.

And how will a robot car driving out from a T-junction into oncoming traffic be

able to make the necessary eye contact with a human driver? These safety-first robot cars could become victims of their own politeness and end up being bullied and ignored by aggressive, impatient humans. This, at any rate, is one of the conclusions to be drawn from research carried out by Dr Chris Tennant of the psychological and behavioral science department at the London School of Economics. His Europe-wide survey finds that nearly two-thirds of drivers think machines won’t have enough common sense to interact with human drivers. And more than two-fifths think a robot car would remain stuck behind our parked lorry for a long time.

“If you view the road as a social space, you will consciously negotiate your journey with other drivers. People who like that negotiation process appear to feel less comfortable engaging with AVs than with human drivers,” says Mr. Tennant in his report. Of course, humans are always skeptical about new technologies of which they have little experience. That skepticism usually decreases with usage, however. And even many skeptics accept that emotionless AVs could cause fewer accidents than we humans, with our tendency to road anger, tiredness and lack of concentration. A statistic often repeated is that human error is responsible for more than 90% of accidents. But 70% of the 12,000 people Mr. Tennant and his team interviewed agreed that: “As a point of principle, humans should be in control of their vehicles.” An even greater proportion-80%—thought an autonomous vehicle should always have a steering wheel.

32. According to the text, an autonomous vehicle . A. is controlled by a robot cars

C. judges traffic by drivers online drivers

33. Dr. Chris Tennant found in his study that autonomous vehicles . A. won’t interact with human drivers B. avoid passing T-junctions ahead of time C. drive in the same ways as a human driver D. may suffer from impatient human drivers

D. recognizes angry human

B. waits shorter than other

34. What can we infer from the text? A. Autonomous vehicles will be less social.

B. Autonomous vehicles are safer than generally expected. C. Human drivers have been replaced by autonomous vehicles. D. Human drivers are willing to interact with autonomous vehicles. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. An autonomous car takes a test run B. What is driver less technology like? C. Say no to the coming driverless trend

D. Would you bully a driverless car or show it respect? 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Empty nest syndrome (综合症) is a phenomenon in which parents experience feelings of sadness and loss when the last child leaves home. You might find it difficult to suddenly have no children at home who need your care. 36 If you have only one child, you might have a particularly difficult time adjusting to an empty nest.

37 In the past, research suggested that parents dealing with empty nest syndrome experienced a sense of loss that might make them easy to experience depression, alcoholism and identity crisis. 38 When the last child leaves home, parents have a new opportunity to improve the quality of their marriage and restart interests for which they previously might not have had time.

If you’re experiencing feelings of loss due to empty nest syndrome, take action. 39 This might be an opportune time to explore or return to hobbies, leisure activities, or career pursuits.

Many suggest preparing for an empty nest while your children are still living with you. 40 They may include family vacations, long talks, and taking time off from work to make special memories. Also, make specific plans for the extra money, time, and space that will become available when children are no longer living at home. A. What’s the impact of empty nest syndrome?

B. You might also worry about your children’s safety.
