12、umpelly. I first heard about him when I was a student on a trip to Turkmenistan, a country right in the heart of Asia. To get around the country, I had to learn Russian so that I could speak to the local people. When I got there I thought, “Wow! Im one of the first Americans here!” Then an old man t

My best experience was when I was digging on the Egyptian Red Sea coast. Theres very little rain and its so dry that everything is kept

15、as it was.

20、times a day in the United States, but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs , a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country.Amanda R. Carrico, a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment

21、in Tennessee, told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated - 5 -perceptions.”Carrico said, “Its certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if you were going to u

22、se hot water to kill them it would have to be away too hot for you to tolerate.”Carrico said that after a review of the scientific literature, her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40F (4.4C) appe

23、ared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed（冲洗）and dried properly.Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carrico said, particularly when it comes to the environment. According to her research, people use warm or hot water 64 p

24、ercent of the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carricos team calculated a significant impact on the planet. “Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear unimportant, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each

25、 year, this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually,” she said.The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies. They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature, whi

26、ch they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.24. Whats the meaning of what Carrico told National Geographic in the second paragraph?A.

30、urse in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the worlds first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” The robot took part

31、in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry s classes for several years. One day when addressing Barrys class, Bina48 expressed a desire to

32、go college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesnt understand, said Barr

33、y. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry.

34、Barry. But the - 7 -reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working artificial intelligence in future.Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate

35、about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he say
