29、ns of tons lost along the way as crops are hauled（拖）hundreds of miles, stored for weeks in refrigerators and prepared on busy restaurant assembly lines. But the historically high price of products is making it an even bigger drag on the bottom line.Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institut

30、ions are compensating for the rising costs of waste in novel ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems, making food in smaller packages or trying to compost (將制成堆肥) and cut down on trash-hauling costs.“We have all come to work with this big elephant in the middle of kitchen, and the

31、elephant is this Its okay to waste belief system,” said Andrew Shackman, president of LeanPath, a company that helps restaurants cut back food waste.The interest in cutting food waste “has just rocketed in the last six to nine months,” he said.Roughly 30 percent of food in the United States goes to

32、waste, costing some $48 billion annually, according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 percent of food in the United States is wasted. Wholesale food costs have risen more than 8 percent this year, the biggest jump in decades, ac

33、cording to the National Restaurant Association.Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when the two of the campus biggest dining halls to find there were no trays.“You have to go back and get your dishware and your drink, but its not that different,” said Caitlin Mewborn, a fresh

34、man. “Its not a big trouble. You take less food, and you dont eat more than you should.”Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38 percent at the dining halls, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Techs sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbed whatever looked g

35、ood at the buffet (自助餐), only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said.56. High price of products makes the problem of food waste _.A. less challengingB. more unbelievable C. less noticeable D. more unsolvable57. What does Caitlin Mewborn most probably think abou

36、t the fact that no trays are provided in the campus dining halls?A. It doesnt help cut food waste much.B. It causes much trouble for students.C. It isnt well-received by the freshmen.D. It is efficient for cutting food waste.58. The author mentions Virginia Tech as an example to support the idea tha

37、t _.A. food waste has been a long-lasting chronic problemB. novel ways are being applied to cutting food wasteC. colleges are truly the biggest source of food wasteD. the “Its okay to waste” belief system is influentialBTo discipline means to teach. To be well disciplined is to have learned to live

38、in accordance with the sensible rules and regulations that society has set up for the behavior of its members.Unless the child learns from each disciplinary situation how better to govern his conduct, effective discipline has not been developed. Parents must accept for themselves the idea that succe

39、ssful discipline results in learning. When they approach situations in which a child must adapt themselves to demands made upon them as learning situations, many problems usually thought of in connection with discipline disappear.Unfortunately, the word discipline has come to have other less constru

40、ctive meanings. Far too often discipline is thought of as punishment. To many people, to discipline a child means to spank（掌摑）him or use some other method of punishment. Such people consider discipline a way of either keeping a child from doing something or of forcing him to do something.It is the t

41、ask of parents to build within themselves and within the children with whom they live this capacity for self-direction, based upon an understanding of what is required of individuals in a democratic society. This means learning to act in those ways known to be necessary for the “good life”, not for

42、ones self alone but also for others.Developing the capacity for self-discipline in a child is a long, slow process. Much patience is required on the part of the parents. During this development, it is important that the childs self- confidence and comfortable acceptance of himself should never be sa

43、crificed in a disciplinary battle; instead it should be increased through the ways in which his parents meet disciplinary situations. Many parents show a good deal of impatience if the little child does not rapidly learn how to keep clean, eat well, be orderly, and do what he is told. They are so ea

44、ger for him to achieve these things that they seem to try to push him rapidly through his baby period. They seem also to think that learning to do these things at the earliest possible age will place the child one jump ahead in the competitive race foe success. But expecting too much too early is a

45、common mistake and results in many battles.59. According to the passage, the well-disciplined people are those _.A. behaving and considering what their parents requireB. obeying what is required on some special occasionsC. obeying the reasonable rules and social regulationsD. having self-direction c

46、apacity in a democratic society60. According to the passage, disciplining a child means _ for many parents.A. developing his capacity for self-directionB. helping him understand social requirementC. setting various limitations to his behaviorD. punishing him with one method or another61. What may be

47、 the authors attitude towards parents expecting their children to achieve too much at the possible earliest age?A. Indifferent B. Disapproving C. Ironic D. ConcernedCA spin-off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) called Empatica, has created a wearable device that monitors epileptic

48、 seizures（癲癇發(fā)作）.According to Statista, the value of the global mHealth market for 2015 is forecasted to be at around 14.5 billion U.S. dollars. In fact, 247 million people in the US have downloaded a healthcare app for their personal use.The new product, Embrace, can be paired with a companion watch

49、 that a family member, friend or caregiver can wear. When the companion watch is in range of the users Embrace watch, it will vibrate to alert the companion watch of their medical situation or status.Embrace is tied together by two apps: an event detector which sends an alert when the users electrod

50、ermal response reaches a pre set level they customize based on their history and health profile; and a diary app which helps monitor and manage everyday routines.The ultra thin Embrace is the result of several years of research from MIT professor Dr. Rosalind W. Picard, founder and director of the A

51、ffective Computing Research Group at MIT Media Lab and her team. Embrace evolved from a discovery with an early device called iCalm in 2008 which allowed the researchers to see the outbreak of stress even before it was noticed by the subject.The sensors in the iCalm device measured the “fight-or-fli

52、ght response” through electrodermal activity which was measured from the skin surface. In a small test group, the data from the iCalm showed that the wristband data was related to how long the brain waves were suppressed after an epileptic seizure. According to Picard, the data showed the bigger the

53、 signal on the wrist, the longer the brain waves went flat after the seizure had supposedly ended. The problem with that discovery, according to the researchers, is that someone whos had an epileptic seizure and then appears to recover should be monitored and not left alone.Over time, Picard and her

54、 team fine-tuned iCalm to what is now the Embrace watch which monitors the users physiological stress levels. Embrace monitors electrodermal activity (EDA) and movement with an objective of reducing Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), the leading cause of death of those with epilepsy. Embr

55、ace recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for further product development. The company also has partnered with the Epilepsy Foundation and plans to give Embrace watches to children or families who cant afford them.62. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Embrace will undoubtedly have a bright market future. B. With Embrace, many epileptic sufferers have got cured. C. Embrace is unaffordable for most children and families. D. The government financially supports Embrace advances.63. Embrace works with devices
