12、) an object that was among the original building blocks of our solar system.Scientists believe these small bodies came together about 4.5 billion years ago.They are thought to be an important middle size step on the way to building planets.When spacecraft visited planetesimals before, it found that
13、the planetesimals were no longer intactThey were damaged by objects that struck them.And some experienced extreme heat because they moved too close to the sun.“So it is thrilling to finally be able to see one still pretty much just as it was after its formation，” said Will Grundy, who is working wit

Chicken soup, of course.New research looked at traditional soups from the world to see if any other kind of soup might have sicknessfighting qualities.The team, led by Professor
17、Jake Baum, asked pupils from various backrgounds in London to bring them homemade traditional soups.The recipes came from areas worldwide.Baum was especially interested in testing these soups against malaria (疟疾) because the newest antimalarial drug, called artemisinin, originally came from a tradit
18、ional Chinese herb, qinghao.Soups with qinghao have been used for more than 2，000 years in China to treat malariarelated fevers.So, the professor was hoping that perhaps there might be other important soup ingredients (原料) from around the world that science has overlooked in its search for medicine
19、against this deadly disease.In the experiment, his team put malariacausing parasites (寄生虫) into different kinds of soups to see if any soup would stop their growth.After just 72 hours, they found with amazement that five of the 60 soups had stopped the growth of the worlds deadliest malarialcausing
20、parasites by more than 50%.A couple of these soups showed results similar to artemisinin, a leading antimalarial drug already on the market.The team was quick to note that they didnt know exactly what the key malariafighting ingredients were within these soups; they were all complex soups with many
21、ingredients.Separating the ingredients one by one will be the next step in their study.It was mentioned, however, that a variety of soup bases were used among the most effective soups, ranging from vegetable based, to beef or chicken based.“Our research is of great importance in educating the next g

27、coming to take over human tasks.There is no doubt that automation is greatly changing the nature of work, but in GN Hearings production facility in Denmark, the effects of automation are not what you think.Vibeke started working at GN more than three decades ago.Comparing her first week on the job t
28、o what she does today, she can hardly believe the difference.Back then, Vibeke and her colleagues manually (手工地) carried the components across the factory floor, inserting and removing the printed circuit boards between the more than 20 machines involved in the process of manufacturing (制造) a microc

31、ere were surprisingly not fewer human hands on deck.In fact, there were even more.Aside from introducing more varied and engaging work for employees, switching to automated production at Praesto has meant significant productivity gains.Today, the facility produces three times as many chips as before
32、, and there are fewer errors.There is no doubt that automation will continue to change the nature of work, not only in manufacturing, but also in many other jobs, too.It does not necessarily mean there will be fewer human jobs, though.It just means that simple and repetitive tasks get filtered out (
33、过滤掉).Going forward, we can expect to lose some of the boring bits in our work, but on the other side find that it becomes more interesting and decisively more human.12The author uses the examples at the beginning of the text to _Aexplain the increasing need for robotsBshow the wide use of automation
34、Cdescribe the feature of these jobsDexplain the advantages of robots13What can we know about Vibekes work during her first week at GN Hearing?AIt was boring and demanding.BIt needed much experience.CIt mostly relied on machines.DIt involved lots of manual work.14What has happened to GN Hearing since
