A
Today the idea of Msimple and asonaP ems to be everywhere. But Alice Waters was saying it about 50 years ago, when Chez Panis first opened on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley. Neither a trained cook nor a businesswoman, she has changed the face of American dining.
Waters never intended to have the power she now has. Growing up in New Jery in the 1950s, she went to the University of California, Berkeley, only becau her clost friends were going, and for a while she didn't have a clear alm.
But living in France for a year changed everything. Waters fell in love with good foodand the care people took over its sourcing and cooking. “I took my Slow Food values- evwone should have access to good food, and growers are properly valued-from 1960s France,” she says. "By the time I came home they were part of me.”
Back in California, all Waters wanted to do was cook and open a restaurant. When Chez Panis finally opened, with dinner cooked and rved by a team with no training, it was a disaster. Guests waited ages for their food. But Waters was not discouraged, “I've always said that if someone makes delicious food, others will find it.”
Since 1971, Chez Panis's only expansion(扩张)has been a cafe upstairs. Waters has always refud to make it bigger since that might weaken the Chez Panis brand(品牌). Her Edible Schoolyard Project, on the other hand, has been intentionally spread out. It started when Waters created a garden space at a Berkeley school for teaching about food.
Today, over 2,000 schools worldwide are following Waters' original model.
The Schoolyard reprents everything Alice Waters stands for and acts as a cornerstone(基石),promoting both educational and personal growth. The food is grown slowly and naturally by hand. Students learn about the benefits of healthy eating, careers in food industry, nutrition, food safety, and the restaurant business.

have ud robot technology to better understand Mars, introduced a group of robots named Mars Dogs at a gy meeting.
The Mars Dog is a four-legged robot created by the company Boston Dynamics., gg with other similar robots, can move around in ways the wheeled W(探测器) that explored the planet never could. Traditional Mars rovers are limited mostly to Mt surfaces. However, many scientifically interesting Martian regions are only reachable by crossing very rough(崎岖的)ground or going below ground. Walldng Mars Dogs are well-suited for such challenges—ven if they fall down, they can get back up again. The robots can also explore underground by walking around rocks and lowering themlves into caves. They are even capable of lecting which path to take. While they do this, they collect measurements to build a map of what they e.
A Mars Dog would also be about 12 times lighter than current rovers. It would be able
t。travel much faster, reaching normal walking speeds of 5 kilometers per hour during tests. Compare that to the Curiosity rover that is currently exploring Mars. Curiosity rolls along the Martian surface at about 0.14 kilometers per hour.

In order to make possible the orderly development of the global whaling industry, the international Whaling Commission (IWC) was formed In 1946.
However, in 1986, the IWC voted(投票)for a ban on whaling. The biggest concern was the huge fall in whale populations across the planet. Indeed many people say the ban came too late and that commercial whaling has already driven many species clo to extinction. According to Greenpeace, blue whales are less than 1% of their original number in the Antarctic while Sei Whales and Fin Whales are also listed as “endangered species**.

There are many other good reasons to oppo whaling. Whales are extremely intelligent creatures. They have social networks very similar to tho of humans, and scientists have recently discovered that whales have brain cells only previously found in humans and great apes(猿).On top of that, whaling is also a
cruel industry. Whales are often caught using explosive harpoons(鱼叉).In some cas, when the harpoon doesn't hit its target properl* whales can take minutes or sometimes hours to die.
