The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus.Samsung says it's not just something new-the app connection actually has some practical uses.&quo

26、me of these plants.Scientist Headier Rose Kates of the University of Florida is in that desert. She is searching along roads for a plant called the coyote melon which is a kind of squash（ 南瓜小果 ）.Coyote melon may not taste good, but it can he grown in places that have had little rainfall. The desert

27、where it grows gets just 15 to 20 centimeters of rain per year, or less. Other kinds of squash need at least two and a half centimeters per week to grow.Scientists are considering combining wild coyote melon with regular squash to see if they can make a tasty vegetable that doesn't need as much

28、water to grow. That could be useful on a planet growing warmer and more crowded every day.Andy Jarvis works at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture. He says farmers will need to produce 50 to 70 percent more food by 2050 to feed the world. So he says researchers are studying the wild ve

29、rsions of farm-grown crops. But he says there is a problem that many wild versions of farmed plants are disappearing. He says they are threatened and scientists have not collected their seeds for future use. Scientist Kates is part of an international effort to gather these plants and save their see

30、ds while it is still possible. Workers arc collecting wild oats to Cyprus, wild potatoes in Argentina and wild peppers in Paraguay.

34、lon can be planted everywhereEEnough "meaningless drivel". That's the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee's report, r

35、eleased last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark（認證標t己）to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions."The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningle

36、ss drivel to anyone," says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clea

37、r who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. "We need to think through how we make that work in practice," says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? "I think if you went and did the survey, people would li

38、ke to think they would," says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. "We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information." But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organizations such as banks as

39、k customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. "We still don't know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bi

40、te them in 20 years' time," he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don't know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving Large collections of personal information have become valuable only

41、recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don't expect, even if users have apparently percussion, show that the current situation isn't working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what

42、exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.32. What does the phrase "meaningless drivel" in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.B. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.C.

43、Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms33.

44、r business modelsC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think34. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because .A. it remains unknown how users' data will be taken advantage ofB. t

45、he language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old35.

47、 field.Stop and think about it for a second. Why should we sleep? 37 .But we sleep every night even when we have had plenty of rest. There are, no doubt, several different answers to this question but let's just consider one general purpose of sleep:38. Human beings are creatures that are normal

48、ly active during daylight hours when our senses functions most effectively. 39 .We can't see objects well, our color vision is entirely lost, and we don't have the smelling or hearing sharpness of other animals. So it actually does make sense to have us stay where we are during the dangerous

49、 period when night-waking animals are walking here and there. And one sure way to make sure we don't fall down everywhere and get lost or eaten is to have us not move for seven or eight hours rising again only when the light is back and our survival chances are better.It's not the only reaso

I tried my best to build his 46.But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she lo
