9、to work in Canada.“One day I went to a Swedish friends and while we were playing in his room, his mom yelled that dinner was ready. And check this. He told me to WAIT in his room while they ate!” an Internet user shared on a media platform. Consequently, there was a lot of criticism of the Swedes. M
10、any said they wouldnt dream of being so mean in their culture. Would a host in Sweden really not invite a guest to join their meal if its dinnertime?It does happen, says Richard Tellstrom, a food historian at Stockholm University. He says this so-called “non-hospitality” was customary when he was a
11、kid in the 60s and 70s. If he was over a friends house and it was time for dinner, he would go back to his own house to eat. Or he would stay and wait in another room while his friend finished his meal. Then theyd continue playing.“Some Swedes think feeding a guest creates a sense of duty.” explains
12、 Tellstrom. “And in a society that values equality and independence, people dont want to put a burden on someone or feel like they owe someone something.” However, it wasnt a universal rule. Families in the countryside, for example, were more likely to feed guests. People lived farther apart, so it
13、wasnt as easy for people to go home and eat. The “no dinner for you” policy has slowly faded, says Tellstrom. “Since the 1990s, food has become a new symbol in society. We have open kitchens. People like to dine there and show off their cooking.”But non-sharing hosts havent entirely disappeared, say
14、s Mohini Mehta, a food scholar. She admits she had a tough time adjusting to life in Sweden when she moved there in 2020. She was used to cooking dine every day for friends and hosting dinner parties almost weekly in India. She learned that in some cultures, like her own, sharing a meal with someone

18、afety after a study which shows hackers (黑客) could guess a users bank account passwords by monitoring (监测) his brainwaves. Nitesh Saxena, professor in the UAB, and his team found that a person who stopped a video game and entered into a bank account while wearing an EEG headset was at a risk of havi
19、ng his passwords stolen by a bad software program. Saxena and his team used one EEG headset that could be bought by customers online to show how easily an ill software program could eavesdrop on a users brainwaves. While typing, a users reaction corresponds with his hand, eye and head muscle (肌肉) mo
20、vements. All these movements are caught by EEG headsets. The team asked 12 people to type passwords into a text box as if they were entering into an online account while wearing an EEG headset, in order for the software to train itself on the users typing and the corresponding brainwave. The team fo
21、und that when a user entered passwords, the ill software program could make educated guesses about the passwords by reading the EEG data recorded. And it just increases the chance of guessing a six-letter password from one in 500,000 to one in five. “With the growing popularity of EEG headsets and a
22、ll kinds of ways they could be used, they will become part of our daily life,” Saxena said. “It is important to study the possible risks with this new technology to raise users awareness to the risks and develop methods of avoiding the bad attacks.” One method suggested by Saxena and his team is to

26、sing outcome (成果). The Wageningen UR researchers use the Mars and Moon soil provided by NASAMimic Mars soil comes from a volcano in Hawaii and the mimic Moon soil from an Arizonian desert. As a result of what the researchers of Wageningen University in the Netherlands learned from their first experi
27、ment, which was a failure, they were finally able to grow ten different crops. The tomatoes, peas, turnip, and cabbages have been harvested (收割). The goal of the experiments is to provide the way of growing crops on Mars or on the Moon in order to feed the first settlers. A few improvements have bee
28、n made since the first experiment, though it isnt a success. Professor Wamelink says, “We used plates instead of small pots and added organic material (fresh cut grass) to the Mars and Moon soil. This is what we didnt do in the first experiment. This solved the problem we had with watering in the fi
29、rst experiment and also added manure (肥料) to the soil.” In the first Moon soil experiment most plants died; in the next round they flourished (茂盛), and the researchers could harvest from some species. It can be regarded as a triumph when it is compared with the first one. Although the Wageningen res
30、earchers harvested several crops, they did not eat them. Wamelink says, “The soil contains heavy metals. If heavy metals find their way into the crops, they will make them poisonous for human beings. Then further research on this is necessary because they need to make sure the final harvest must be
31、harmless to human beings. The experiment should start in April next year with the growth of new crops including potatoes and beans.”The soil experiment began in April and the final harvest took place in October. Plants were grown in a glass house under certain temperature and light conditions and un
32、der the earth atmosphere. “This is because we expect that first crop growth on Mars and the Moon will take place in underground rooms to protect the plants from the bad environment,” says Wamelink.12Why were the scientists able to grow ten different crops?ABecause they had the experience from last f
33、ailure.BBecause they experimented a number of times.CBecause they worked harder this time than last time.DBecause they got a lot of help from other countries.13What is the difference between the first and the second experiment according to the passage?AThe grass covering the crops.BWatering the crop
34、s regularly.CReplacing different kinds of plants.DThe use of plates and organic material.14What will the researchers probably center on in the following experiment?AHow to plant crops in underground rooms.BWhether these crops can be eaten by human beings.CHow to plant more and more crops on Mars and
35、 the Moon.DWhether tomatoes and beans can grow on Mars and the Moon.15Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?AExperiments Prove Crops can Grow on MarsBA Great Science Achievement has been MadeCCrops Harvested on Mimic Mars and Moon SoilDFirst Settlers can Eat Crops Grown on
