1 Chocolate Fashion Show巧克力時裝秀

Salon du Chocolat[法語，即ChocolateSalon]created chocolate clothing, and models then wore the clothing at a fashion show in Paris. The fashion show is part of a chocolatefair[展覽會]whichtakes place[舉行]every year. People say that it is the largest chocolate fair in the world.Chocolatiers[巧克力商],pastry[油酥點心]chefs[大廚]andconfectioners[糖果制造人]come from all over the world to the fair.

In the movieForrest Gump[《阿甘正傳》], Forrest Gump said that, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get”. Fashion shows seem to be like boxes of chocolates, too!

“巧克力沙龍”用巧克力制衣，由模特穿上在巴黎的時裝秀上展出。巧克力展每年都會舉行，時裝秀是其中一個環節。據稱，這是世界上最大的巧克力展。全球巧克力大亨，糕點、糖果大師匯聚于此，享受著這場盛宴。

在電影《阿甘正傳》中，阿甘曾說，“生活就像是一盒巧克力，你永遠不知道下一顆是什么樣的。”時裝秀也像是一盒盒充滿驚喜的巧克力！

True or False: The fashion show takes place every year.

2 Chinese University Uses Facial Recognition for Attendance中國高校采用臉部識別簽到

A university in China has a new method of checking forabsent[缺席的]students. The Communications University of China takes photos of students’ faces as they enter class. The photographs are thenautomatically[自動地]checked against the school’sdatabase[數據庫]todetermine[決定]which students are absent.Proponents[倡議者]of the attendance system say the technology saves time for both teachers and students.

Earlier, a Beijing university used facial recognition[識別]at the entrance to femaledormitories[宿舍].

中國一高校發明了一種新的考勤方式。中國傳媒大學的學生在進入教室前會先拍張照。新系統會自動將這些照片與學校的數據庫進行比對，找出缺課的學生。新考勤系統的倡議者說，這節省了學生和老師的時間。

早些時候，北京的另一所大學在女生宿舍門口安裝了面部識別機器。

True or False: The Communications University of China used facial recognition at the entrance to male dormitories earlier.

3 Over 15,000 Scientists Issue “Warning to Humanity”科學家再次發出“致全人類的警告信”

Over 15,000 scientists have signed a letter to humanity that warns ofcatastrophic[災難性的]consequences[后果]for the earth, includingvast[巨大的]humanmisery[不幸]for ourrapidly[快速地]growing population.

This is a follow-up letter to anoriginal[最初的]warning that about 1,700leading[前沿的]scientistsissued[發布]in 1992. Every threat to the earth has worsened since the original letter except the hole in theozonelayer[臭氧層]. The letter warns that it will soon be too late toprevent[阻止]mass[大規模的]extinction[滅絕], dead zones in the ocean, and a lack of fresh food and water.

The letter gives suggestions for preventing thisfate[命運], includingphasing out[逐漸淘汰]theinvestment[投資]and use offossilfuels[化石燃料]and eating more plant-based foods.

超過15000名科學家聯名簽署了一份申明，向全人類發出警告——地球將面臨災難性的后果，包括因人口快速增長，人類將遭遇巨大不幸。

早在1992年，約1700位前沿科學家就曾發出警告，這是其增補信。自第一次發布警告信后，除了臭氧層空洞問題，地球面臨的其他威脅都已加劇。警告信中稱，人類如果再不采取行動，大規模物種滅絕、海洋中死亡區形成以及新鮮食物和淡水稀缺一系列局面將成定局。

為避免這一命運，警告信提出了幾點建議，包括逐漸減少對化石燃料的開發和利用以及多選食植物制成的食品。

True or False: The hole in the ozone layer has become bigger since 1992.

4 Albert Einstein’s Theory of Happiness Sells for $1.3 Million 愛因斯坦的親筆便條拍出130萬美元高價

Albert Einstein’s Theory of Happinessfetched[賣出]$1.3 million at aJerusalem[耶路撒冷]auction[拍賣會].

The Nobel-winning scientist’smusings[沉思], handwritten on a note, may not be as famous as hisgroundbreaking[開創性的]Theory of Relativity, but they stillshed light on[闡明]one of the great modern minds.

Winner’s Auctions and Exhibitions said Einstein was traveling in Japan in 1922 when he was told he would be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. In Tokyo,Einsteinscribbled[潦草地寫]the note in German to abellboy[行李員]after he did not havecash[現金]to give him atip[小費].

“A calm andmodest[謙遜的]life brings more happiness than thepursuit[追求]of success combined withconstant[持續不斷的]restlessness[不安定],” it reads.

在耶路撒冷的一場拍賣會上，寫有愛因斯坦《幸福觀》的便條賣出了130萬美元（折合人民幣約860萬）的高價。

諾獎得主愛因斯坦寫在便條上對于幸福的沉思或許沒有他那開創性的《相對論》有名，但我們同樣能從中窺探到愛因斯坦偉大思想的星星點點。

拍賣公司（贏家拍賣展覽公司）說，1922年愛因斯坦得知自己獲得諾貝爾物理學獎的時候正在日本旅行。當時他在東京，因為沒有現金給行李員小費，就用德語寫了張便條贈給他——

“寧靜淡泊比終日蠅營幸福得多。”

True or False: Albert Einstein’s Theory of Happiness was written on a note for a bellboy.
