Mrs. Virginia De View, whose physical appearance made her an easy target for snickers(窃笑)and cruel jokes among students, cleared her throat and asked us to be silent.“Now,” Mrs. Virginia De View said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. We were only 13 and 14 years old.“Yes, you will all be searching for your future professions,” she said, “You will have to do a research paper on your upcoming career. Each of you will have to interview someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”Finally, I picked print journalism, and interviewed a true-blue newspaper reporter in the flesh. After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from memory in class. I got an A on the entire project.Years later, I forgot all about Virginia DeView and the careers we selected.

The evolution biologist, Richard Dawkins, coined the term “meme” in his book The Selfish Gene. According to Dawkins, while genes are the pieces of biological information from our parents which determines our appearance and how we grow, memes are units of cultural informationideas and beliefsthat “pass from brain to brain”. Like genes, memes must compete for survivalif a meme cannot gain our attention, it disappears.Basically, any shared idea related to culture is a meme. Myths, for example, are memes. Every society has its own stories that have survived, with some variations, for hundreds or thousands of years. The mythological dragon in Chinese culture is an idea that has been successfully passed between people for generation, and is therefore also a meme.Historically, memes have spread very gradually by word of mouth. Within Internet culture, though, a successful idea can be shared between millions of people within a few hours. Internet memes (which may, for example, take the form of an image, a video or a website) may not last long, but they are particularly catching. They are shared, “liked”, copied and thus rapidly grown.Then why do some ideas succeed in gaining our attention while others fail to attract us? Its difficult to say, but humour is generally a factor(因素). People are most likely to forward something to their friends if they think it is funny, the easier it is to digest, the further the meme travels. Other memes may gain ground because they are something out of the ordinary. Aside from pure entertainment, Internet memes have a commercial aspect. Given their mass appeal, it is no surprise that advertisements turn up alongside them.28. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “coined” in Paragraph 2?A. Accepted.B. Preferred.C. Invented.D. Understood.29. What do we learn about memes?A. They are genes passed down from our parents.B. They are cultural units that spread among people.C. They belong to myths in different cultures.D. They determine the development of the Internet.30. How does a meme within Internet culture differ from one in history?A. It spreads faster and wider.B. It takes fewer forms.C. Its harder to digest.D. It lasts longer.31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The distance a meme can travel.B. Achievements of Internet memes.C. Reasons for the success of memes.D. The uniqueness of a meme.DAnjan Contractors 3D food printer might inspire the imagination of the food needed for future space travel. His company, Systems & Materials Research Corporation, just got $125,000 from NASA to create a model machine of his universal food synthesizer(合成器).But Contractor, a mechanical engineer with a background in 3D printing, expects a much more commonand finally more importantuse for the technology. He sees a day when every kitchen has a 3D printer, and the earths 12 billion people feed themselves customized, nutritionally-appropriate meals synthesized one layer(层)at a time, from cartridges(筒)of powder and oils they buy at the corner grocery store.Pizza is an obvious candidate for 3D printing because it can be printed in distinct layers, so it only requires the print head to spray one material at a time. It works by first “printing” a layer of dough(面团), which is baked at the same time it is printed, by a heated plate at the bottom of the printer. Then it lays down a tomato base. Finally, the pizza is topped with a “protein layer”, which could come from any source, including animals, milk or plants.In the future, well all be able to trade recipes directly, as software. This will be possible because Contractor plans to keep the software part of his 3D printer entirely open-source, so that anyone can look at its code, take it apart, understand it, and adjust recipes to fit.“One of the major advantages of a 3D printer is that it provides personalized nutrition,” says Contractor. “If you have special dietary needs, you can program your needs into a 2D printer, and it can print exactly the nutrients you require.”Contractors “pizza printer” is still at the conceptual stage. And while Contractor and his team are initially focusing on applications for long-distance space travel, his eventual goal is to turn his system for 3D printing food into a design that can be licensed to someone who wants to turn it into a business.32. What is a characteristic of 3D-printed food?A. It has three layers.B. It has fixed recipes.C. It is sold at grocery stores.D. It can meet individual needs.33.

Anjan Contractor’s 3D food printer might inspire the imagination of the food needed for future space travel. His company, Systems & Materials Research Corporation, just got $125,000 from NASA to create a model machine of his universal food synthesizer(合成器).

He sees a day when every kitchen has a 3D printer, and the earth’s 12 billion people feed themselves customized, nutritionally-appropriate meals synthesized one layer(层)at a time, from cartridges(筒)of powder and oils they buy at the corner grocery store.
Pizza is an obvious candidate for 3D printing because it can be printed in distinct layers, so it only requires the print head to spray one material at a time. It works by first “printing” a layer of dough(面团), which is baked at the same time it is printed, by a heated plate at the bottom of the printer. Then it lays down a tomato base. Finally, the pizza is topped with a “protein layer”, which could come from any source, including animals, milk or plants.
In the future, we’ll all be able to trade recipes directly, as software. This will be possible because Contractor plans to keep the software part of his 3D printer entirely open-source, so that anyone can look at its code, take it apart, understand it, and adjust recipes to fit.
