Special Food Places to Try In Singapore

It's an unpleasant fact that local food places are usually meant to cater to meat-eaters. It can be difficult to find a tasty food place that caters to meat-free diet. Here are some options to show you don't need meat for a satisfactory treat.

Vegan Burg

Vegan Burg has a surprisingly diverse range of plant-based burgers. From Hawaiian Teriyaki to Char-Grilled Satay, the menu promises to tempt even the most hardcore meat lovers. And that's not even getting into the add-ons and sides it offers, such as mushroom fries and barbecue potatoes.

Woods Square Tower, #01-06, Singapore 737737

Genesis Restaurant

This eatery proves that meat-free dishes can be as hearty and flavorful as their meat-based counterparts. Genesis Restaurant is especially known for its juicy dumplings, spring rolls, pork-free noodles and tofu cheesecake.

Havelock Road, #B1-01, Singapore 059763

WellSmoocht Collective

WellSmoocht is a cafe and dessert bar which specializes in plant-based ice cream. Made from brown rice, sugar cane juice and fruits or nut butters, Smoocht's rice cream, as they call it, comes in a wide variety of delicious flavors such as Earl Grey Lavender,Rose Coconut and Gula Melaka.

Sin Ming Centre, #01-03, Singapore 575628

With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe's future leader in green hydrogen production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy experts express caution because this process relies on massive availability of zero-carbon electricity.

Green hydrogen is created when renewable energy sources power an electrical current that runs through water, separating its hydrogen and oxygen molecules (分子). The process doesn't produce planet-warming carbon dioxide, but less than 0.1% of global hydrogen production is currently created in this way.

The separated hydrogen can be used in the production of steel, ammonia (氨) and chemical products, all of which require industrial processes that are harder to stop fossil fuels. Hydrogen also can be used as a transportation fuel, which could one day transform the highly polluting shipping and aviation sectors.

Spain's large, windswept and thinly populated territory receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine on average per year, providing ideal conditions for wind and solar energy, and therefore green hydrogen production.

"If you look at where hydrogen is going to be produced in Europe in the next million years, it's in two countries, Spain and Portugal," said Thierry Lepercq, the founder and president of HyDeal Ambition, an industry platform bringing together 30 companies. "Hydrogen is the new oil."

Lepercq is working with companies like Spanish gas pipeline corporation Enagas and global steel giant ArcelorMittal to design an end-to-end model for hydrogen production, distribution and supply at a competitive price. Criticism has centered on green hydrogen's higher cost compared with highly-polluting "gray hydrogen" drawn from natural gas. Lepercq argues that solar energy produced in Spain is priced low enough to compete.

Globally, Lepercq said, "Electricity is 20% of energy consumption. What about the 80% that is not electrified? ... You need to replace those fossil fuels. Not in 50 years' time. You need to replace them now."

Microsoft says it has used the natural language Al ChatGPT to control robots with simple text commands. The approach means people with no engineering experience will be able to instruct robots to carry out tasks.

Microsoft said the research was intended "to see if ChatGPT can think beyond text, and reason about the physical world to help with robotics tasks". Robots are typically controlled by software that has been written by humans and sets out precise instructions, or else by some form of network Al that can learn to carry out tasks based on large numbers of examples.

Neither Microsoft nor Open Al responded to a request for comment on this, but Microsoft said ChatGPT allows a user to monitor the process. ChatGPT isn't in direct, real-time control of the robot, but simply creates the code that controls it. Microsoft said ChatGPT output shouldn't be used directly to control a robot without "careful analysis", but experts warn that it is risky to even begin thinking about placing Al in control of physical machines.

Mark Coeckelbergh at the University of Vienna, Austria, says that regulations may be needed in order to set out where Al can be used and who is responsible should things go wrong. "It's a very dangerous thing to just say ‘let's give control of these computers to AI'," says Coeckelbergh. "The problem with contemporary artificial intelligence is that it's not transparent(透明的) to the user. That's a huge problem."

Others were doubtful about the ability of language models to program robots for complex tasks. Kathleen Richardson at De Montfort University Leicester, UK, says that Al language models are convincing mimics (模仿者), but that their real ability — including their adaptability to control robots — is often overblown. "I think Microsoft, and most people who design robots,overstate what they can and can't do," she says.

Catherine Garland, a physics professor, started seeing "the problem" in 2019. She'd laid out the assignment clearly during an engineering course, but student after student was calling her over for help. They were all getting the same error message: The program couldn't find their files.

Garland thought it would be an easy fix. She asked each student where they had saved their project. "Could they be on the desktop? Perhaps in the Documents folder?" But over and over, she was met with confusion. "What are you talking about?" multiple students inquired. Gradually, Garland came to the realization: the concept of file folders and directories, essential to previous generations, understanding of computers, is gibberish to many modern students.

Garland's mental model is commonly known as "directory structure", the hierarchical system (层级体系) of folders used to arrange files. What have caused the mental model to change? It is possible that many students spent their high school years storing documents in the cloud storage like OneDrive and Dropbox rather than in physical spaces. It could also have to do with the other apps they're accustomed to. "When I want to scroll (滚屏) over to Snapchat, Twitter, they're not in any particular order, but I know exactly where they are," says Vogel, who is a devoted iPhone user. Some of it boils down to muscle memory.

It may also be that in an age where every user interface includes a search function, young people have never needed folders or directories. The first internet search engines were used around 1990, but features like Windows Search are products of the early 2000s. While many of today's professors grew up without search functions, today's students increasingly don't remember a world without them.

Some may blame the generational incompetence. An international study claimed that only 2 percent of Generation Z (born from 1997 onwards) had achieved the "digital native" level of computer literacy. But the issue is likely not that modern students are learning fewer digital skills, but rather that they're learning different ones. Garland, for all her knowledge of directory structure, doesn't understand Instagram nearly as well as her students do. "They use computers one way, and we use computers another way," Garland emphasizes. "That's where the problem lies."

 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Reading is essential, but how can one choose the right books to read and where can one find them? A few famous people may give you some helpful tips.

● Read books from past eras.

Otherwise, you'd be "completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times," just as Albert Einstein put it. "Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses," he said.

Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. Seneca the Younger, a first-century Roman philosopher, suggested that "you must linger among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would obtain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind."

● Shop at secondhand bookstores.

Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn't have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers.

● Check out authors' reading lists.

In his 1940 guide How to Read a Book, American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. Mortimer wrote that "one way to understand them is to read the books they read."

● Make the final decision by yourself.

It's you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.

A. Interest is the best teacher.

B. Great authors are great readers.

C. Leave some room for older works.

D. Learn more about those great authors.

E. Don't jump too quickly from book to book.

F. There's no "best books" list that everyone should follow.

G. Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections.

I had a dream from primary school: to work in television. My parents owned a little grocery store, so we were definitely not fancy people. Thankfully, my dad had raised me to have a lot of confidence. He often said, "You can do anything you want to do." My dad was particularly supportive. He was my steady rock—always there for me.

With his help and encouragement, I was admitted to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson in Toronto. I really loved the program and worked hard and I was named the most outstanding graduate. I felt like I was already living my dream. I began to think that maybe I could apply for an internship(实习资格) in CBC or CTV.

Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself: I'm new and they're new, so if I'm going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, "Good, Faye. That's exactly what you should do."

With my heart just about pounding out of my body, I called up the president of Global Television. Suddenly Mr. Slaight was on the phone. "I've heard that your studio facilities are amazing. I could come at eleven o'clock on Monday or eleven o'clock on Sunday for a tour. What would suit you better?" I caught him totally off guard. He stuttered a bit, and then picked a day. When I hung up, I was scared but excited.

I arrived at the studio on the appointed day. When Mr. Slaight took me around, he looked at me and said, "What do you want?" He sounded furious but curious. "All I want is a chance to audition(试镜). I just want you to know my face. That's all I'm asking.

I didn't know whether I'd ever hear from him again, but two weeks later, his secretary called. "Mr. Slaight wants to know if you'd like to come and audition for a new school life show." I immediately answered, "Sure!"

注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When I arrived at the station, I went into the audition and began my performance.

……

Finally came the day of my first public appearance on live TV with my parents at home watching.
