15、selves，do you know that you are also creating a work of art？Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself？Probably not.Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ，but you probably dont think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.But the chief executiv

16、e of Londons Saatchi Gallery，Nigel Hurst，thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with selfportraits by the great masters.In support of the idea，the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Selfexpression.It features wellknown selfportraits from

17、 artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh(18531890) and Rembrandt(16061669)It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era”. These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David

18、Cameron，according to the BBC.The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious.He isnt claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a selfimage painted by Van Gogh.But he does mak

19、e a serious point.Once upon a time，it was only artists who could make images of themselves.They were the only ones，as Hurst told The Guardian，who “had the skills，materials and tools to create selfportraits.” Today，however，we “all have that ability through our smartphones.”The popularity of the selfi

20、e rocketed after smartphones started to become widely used.In 2013，Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year.As Pamela Rutledge，a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology，told Vogue magazine：“the cult(热潮) of the selfie celebrates regular people”24Nigel Hursts

People typically wash their hands several times a day in the United States，but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs，a n

23、ew study says.The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country.Amanda RCarrico，a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment in Tennessee，told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are

24、in their best interest，but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.”Carrico said，“Its certainly true that heat kills bacteria，but if you were going to use hot water to kill them it would have to be away too hot for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 scienti

25、fic 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) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water，if hands were scrubbed，rinsed(冲洗) and dried properly.Using hot water to wash hand

26、s 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 percent of the time when they wash their hands.Using that number，Carricos team calculated a significant impact on the planet.“Although t

27、he 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 year，this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually，” she said.The researchers published th

28、eir results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies.They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature，which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.28Whats the meaning of what Carrico told National Geographic in the second p

32、 hands with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature.D A food additive (添加剂) is any substance that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks

33、on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are h

34、ealthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C i

35、s vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesnt necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed

36、 a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products. Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the produ

37、cers.Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel theres a risk of eating food to whic

38、h anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects (副作用) from the long-term use of presently ap

39、proved (批准) food additives are very small.32.From the passage we can learn that .A. all foods have chemical substances B. it is right to refuse chemicals in foodC. food additives are harmful to our health D. natural foods are much safer than man-made ones33.Which of the following is TRUE according t

40、o the passage?A. To ensure food safety, the FDA will stop food additives.B. Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways.C.
