10、business suddenly had to adapt for survival.The first step was to ensure customers could still enjoy the food,“I bought containers and had our takeaway menu prepared. With a lot of fresh food in the pub, we started the takeaway system,” Blaikie explains. But it wasnt without its problems. “ We spent
11、 about 2,000 on takeaway boxes initially. Thats a lot of money, but its hopefully keeping us going.”Despite making headway before the lockdown, it wasnt until the national furlough(休假) plan was announced that Blaikie could reassure staff their incomes were secure. With the government support package
12、 now in place, Blaikie has turned his attention to helping local people. Launching his Soup-er Hero campaign in April, he is now making soup and sandwiches for those in need.Its not just people benefiting, either-so did animals of Edinburgh Zoo. Blaikie says,“I had a massive box of bananas left over
13、, so I took them to the zoo. ” Now Blaikies weekly deliveries of fruit, vegetables and fish help to feed the animals at a time when visits to the zoo-the main source of income-was brought to a halt.When asked why focusing on helping others when keeping his own business afloat(有偿还能力的) requires such e
14、ffort, Blaikie says,” I believe in helping people. I know this virus is a horrible thing, but its bringing out a lot of good in people as well. And the only way to come out of this situation is that people stay heart to heart a bit more, being more thoughtful of whats going on among them.”4. What me

In Canada, a citizens may recognize lichen (地衣) from local parks or favourite hiking trails. Lichens are compl
18、etely self-sufficient, needing nothing but sunlight and a place to stay; they can live in many tough environments like desert cliffs (悬崖).A group of enthusiasts in Canada is pushing forward with a plan to get Canada to adopt a “ national lichen”. And more than 18,000 Canadians weighed in with a vote
19、 organized by the Canadian Museum of Nature ( CMN) in Ottawa. The reindeer lichen appeared to be victorious（获胜的）, with 26.6 % of the vote. Now the results will be handed to the Department of Canadian Heritage to consider.This all may seem an unnecessary risk during the novel corona-virus pandemic. B
20、ut Toby Spribille, a professor at the University of Alberta, says “ On the contrary, its time when people are facing a universal challenge that calls for global cooperation to beat it. Theres something about lichens that forces people to think about working together. Because as soon as people realiz
21、e that its symbiosis (共生关系), they will think about cooperating with each other. ”Canada has the highest lichen biomass in the world. They are abundant in northern forests and across the Arctic. They are the primary winter food source for one of Canadas most beloved animals and provide nests for othe
22、r species. They have been used in dyes(染色) and medicines. Some help fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil and prevent soil erosion (侵蚀). They are also indicators of air pollution.Whether national lichen could ever be as universally recognizable as the maple, the countrys national tree, remains to be
23、seen. But Dr. McMullin puts heart into his defense. “ Why is a tree more important than a lichen? Because its big?

26、tup(启动) acquired by General Motors, announced its Origin. It is intended to act as a shuttle service(班车) that drives itself. You can call Origin through an app and get to where youre going, but you never need to own a car again. Thats the idea, anyway. Origin shows some promise. For one, it is not m
27、ade to be sold to consumers. It is, rather, designed from the ground up to be part of a so-called “ride-sharing” service. By making the car modular(模块化的)and upgradeable, Crusie believes it can bring down the exorbitant(过高的) unit costs of self-driving cars. But Crusie and other self-driving companies
28、 that claimed that theyre the future of how we get from point A to point B face some serious problems, some technical. Firstly, autonomous driving doesnt actually seem to be ready for the reality of messy, complicated streets that are full of humans. Most experts now agree that full self-driving tec
29、h is far from ready- and in fact, may never be ready. Yes, its true; the company Waymo has put autonomous vehicles with no safety driver into service.

As just one example, automatic emergency braking has already reduced rear-end collisions (追尾) by 50 percent,
31、and the National Transportation Safety Board believes this figure will eventually rise to 80 percent. It seems that avoidant technology, combined with the knowledge of a human driver, is a better solution to the problem of collisions and injury than cars that just drive themselves.While high tech is
32、 playing a major part in our daily life, which makes us more convenient. However, it still has a long way to go. Cruises plans are indicative of the problem with self-driving startups. They assume that smarter cars are the solution to our transportation problems, when in fact, a vastly more promisin
