Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.

Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.

Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.

We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.

Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact(緊湊的), so busy customers

can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.

Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program, and will be open to the public soon.

The next time you eat a piece of chocolate, be sure to enjoy it, because according to two of the world’s largest chocolate maker—Mars Inc and Barry Callebaut, the treat may soon be in short supply. The problem? We are consuming the candy at a faster pace than farmers can grow cocoa. The can manufacturers say that in 2013, people consumed 70,000 tons more cocoa than was produced. Experts say that this is the worst supply-demand imbalance they have experienced m more than 50 years.

Parts of the reason for the condition is the large reduction in supply, caused by a continuous drought in the west African countries of Ivory Coast and Ghana, where more than 70 percent of the world’s cocoa is produced. Additionally, a certain disease known as frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production. As a result, many farmers have turned to more profitable and easier grown crops like corn. This means that even if conditions improve, cocoa production may never get back to normal.

Meanwhile, the world is only getting hungrier for chocolate. The biggest increase in demand is from the residents of emerging market countries like India. Though their consumption is nowhere close to the amount European devour, their newly acquired amount for the treat, is making a huge dent (凹痕) in an already tight market.

There is also the growing desire for dark chocolate, which contains more than 70 percent cocoa compared to normal chocolates. Experts believe that if consumption continue at this pace, cocoa deficits (差額) could swell to one million tons by 2020 and to an even more worrisome, two million tons, by 2030.

Not surprisingly, cocoa prices have risen by 60% since 2012, a cost that manufacturers have offset by raising the prices of everyone’s favorite candy. As the situation worsens, the price of chocolate can only rise—so be sure to enjoy piece of the sweet treat, like it is your last!

1.The underlined phrase “supply—demand imbalance” probably means .

A. People consume more chocolate than production

B. Farmers grow more cocoa than people’s demand

C. More and more people like eating chocolates now

D. Chocolates are becoming more and more expensive

2.It is hard to raise cocoa production probably because .

A. The weather is changeable in the west Africa

B. A certain disease spread around the world

C. Many farmers don’t grow any longer

D. It is impossible for conditions to be improved

3.Where has the demand of chocolate been increasing greatly according to the passage?

A. In Asia B. In Africa

C. In Europe D. In America

4.According to the author’s prediction, we can know that .

A. Chocolate will become cheap sooner or later

B. The farmers will produce more cocoa in 2030

C. The price of chocolate will be going up all the way

D. Dark chocolate will be more popular than common one

A scanner is recently created by a group of professors. It is believed to predict the perfect job for anyone simply by reading their fingerprints. The group says that in the future, fingerprints could help tell a person’s key personalities.

To use the scanner, people place their fingers upon the fingerprint reader and computer technology connected with sensors (傳感器) reads back what sort of job could suit the individual. The machine bases its results on a collection of a large amount of information in the computer about how fingerprint shapes connect with job selection.

Local companies help researchers from the city’s Kuban University of Physical Education and Sport to test the technology.

Twenty - one - year - old Oscar Galkin, a mathematics graduate, said: “I got the result from the scanner that I would suit a job in IT, which is exactly what I want to do. I don’t know if it is luck or if it can really read a person’s talents, but it worked for me.”

And Zara Tokareva, aged 20, who feels uncomfortable at the sight of blood, said: “I want to be a house designer but the machine said I should be a nurse. So, no, I don’t think it is as clever as expected.”

Though fingerprint identification has been widely used in crime discovering, it is still a science that has a lot of possibility of being used, say experts, from discovering drug misuse to personality analysis - exactly as hand readers have been saying to do for centuries.

“The basic idea is that although everybody’s fingerprints are completely different, there are obvious features that are common on the fingers of certain professionals working in certain jobs,” said researcher Ravil Yudin.

It’s not really a new idea because hand readers have been saying for hundreds of years that you can tell a person’s future by reading their hands. We want to match that by looking at fingerprints and trying to tell what career path people would choose.

1.From the text we know that the fingerprint scanner .

A. matches fingerprints with jobs B. tells people’s personality

C. helps collect job information D. reads individual’s mind

2.What can we learn from what Ravil Yudin said?

A. The fingerprint scanner is based on a new idea.

B. Cerain people’s fingers actually have something in common.

C. Telling one’s future by reading his hands started a few years ago.

D. The technology of fingerprint identification can be used in many fields.

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Hand readers are widely used in life.

B. A fingerprint scanner could tell a person’s personality.

C. A fingerprint scanner could predict a person’s job.

D. A fingerprint scanner could be used in crime discovering.

How to Do Man-on-the Street Interviews

The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 1. But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.

• When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the –street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 2.

• Hit the streets with confidence. 3. Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic,” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.

• Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don’t get discouraged.

• 4. Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 5.

• If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.

A. Limit your time.

B. As you approach people, be polite.

C. If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.

D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.

E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.

F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.

G. With a question like this, you will get more than a ‘Yes” or “No” reply.
