12、mbre, has spent the past two weeks testing the technology at the restaurant before it opens each night_21_ business and hopes to have it in place by the end of the year.But how does the drone know where to hover (盘旋)? What if someone bumps into the drone or is standing in its way? “Theres no chance
13、at all _22_ it will hit anything,” says Infinium Robotics chief executive Junyang Woon.The drones automatically charge while _23_ (wait) in the kitchen. _24_ the chef puts an order on the drone, he hits a button on a keypad and the drone automatically flies to one of two wait stations.

The drones are equipped with sonar (声呐系统) and an infrared sensor (红外线传感器), too.A waiter then removes the food or drink from the drone and hits a button _26_ sends it back to the kitchen. Th
15、e drones, weighing a little over five pounds, _27_ carry just over four pounds of food. Infinium Robotics is working on a model that will carry twice as _28_ (much) food.“Its job is to help the waiters to reduce some of their boring tasks,” Woon said. “If they let the robots _29_ (do) the job, they

19、dified foods. But the agency said Thursday the fish is safe to eat.In announcing the approval, the FDA said that there are “no biologically _32_ differences in the nutrition of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of other farm-raised Atlantic salmon.”AquAdvantage Salmon was created by the Massachus

Ron Stotish, the companys CEO, said in a statement that the fish is a “game changer that brings healthy and nutritious food to consumers in an environmentally _33_ manner without damaging the ocean and other marine habitats.”The fish grows twice as fast as normal salmo

25、ade her home life a challenge. Working nights and weekends meant she rarely put her 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter to bed, or spent Saturdays at the park. So, three years ago, Demos began testing the waters to see if operating her own business making marketing videos would create an option f
26、or more _41_ time.Last month, Demos took a leap. Instead of renegotiating her _42_, she left her job to take her venture to the next level building her own video production/media training company. Its a career shift on a path to work-life balance that more _43_ are making. New research shows the top
27、 reason why people leave their jobs is to _44_ opportunities with a better work-life balance. Those who make the _45_ say there almost always is a main cause, either work- or home-related. It could be a life-changing event like the birth of a child, or it could be a new demanding boss, change in job
28、 responsibilities, or too many missed milestone events. It might even be a more _46_ job offer.For Denie Harris, the main cause was the attraction of a better _47_ situation for a mom with young daughters. Harris had been marketing director for two companies in South Florida when an opportunity came
29、 her way to hold a similar position at her daughters school. It was a decision that required _48_ all factors. The upside included seeing her children during the workday and sharing the same _49_ with them. The downside was leaving the corporate world and earning less. “Everything in life is a give-
30、and-take,” Harris says. “For a mom, working at your childrens school is the best possible place to be.”In the _50_ to achieve work-life balance, working mothers having been “quitting” jobs for more than a decade, choosing to stay at home with their children when _51_ possible. But today, both men an
31、d women are making job changes, choosing work options that better fit their _52_ lifestyle. The shift often means serious consideration of _53_, including salary, advancement and fulfillment.Doug Bartel, who left his job as a TV news producer more than a decade ago, says that what working fathers of
32、ten look for is predictability and control over their schedules. They are starting their own law firms or becoming self-employed consultants to gain that _54_.Big salaries arent necessarily the golden handcuffs (手铐) they used to be. With the traditional 40-hour workweek becoming out of date, a surve

She loves dressing up as Elsa from “Frozen”, playing with Barbie dol
36、ls and going to the park or shopping. But what makes the British-Nigerian youngster stand out is the fact that shes also a university student.Esther, from Walsall, an industrial town in the UKs West Midlands region, is one of the countrys youngest college freshmen. The talented 10-year-old enrolled
37、at the Open University in January and is already top of the class, having recently scored 100% in an exam.“Its so interesting and super easy,” she laughs. “My mum taught me in a nice way.” She adds: “I want to finish the course in two years. Then Im going to do my PhD in financial maths when Im 13.
38、I want to have my own bank by the time Im 15 because I like numbers and I like people and banking is a great way to help people.”And in case people think her parents have pushed her into starting university early, Esther disagrees. “I actually wanted to start when I was seven. But my mum didnt agree
39、.” After three years of begging, Mother Efe finally agreed to explore the idea.Esther has always jumped ahead of her peers. Her mother noticed her daughters gift for figures shortly after she began homeschooling her at the age of three. Initially, Esthers parents had enrolled her in a private school
40、 but after a few short weeks, the usually-energetic youngster refused to go back to that school because the teachers didnt let her talk in class. In the UK, education is not compulsory until five, so Efe started to do little things at home by teaching basic number skills but Esther was miles ahead.
41、By four, her natural talent for maths had seen the eager student move on to algebra (代数学) and quadratic equations (二次方程式).And Esther isnt the only maths miracle in the family. Her younger brother Isaiah, 6, will soon be sitting his first A-level exam in June.56Which of the following makes Esther Oka
42、de different from her normal peers?AShe is the youngest college student in the UK.BShe goes to university at a much earlier age.CShe often gets full marks in maths exams.DShe loves acting as a university student.57From the passage we can learn that _.AEsther thinks her parents expect too much of her
43、BEsther cannot adapt herself well to college lifeCEsther asked to go to university even earlierDEsther dislikes being taught at home58What might be a main factor that has led to Esthers being a maths genius?AThe gene from her family.BHer course in the university.CThe criticism from her teachers.DHer
