Whenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.

Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.
1. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?
A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.
B. It withdrew unused tableware from customers.
C It updated the food -delivery device regularly.
D. It allowed picking tableware at customers’ demand.

√
The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.
2. What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Easily accessible things. B. Fast increasing orders.
C. Exceptionally tough choices. D. Widely accepted strategies.

Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.

3. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?
A. It brings about economic loss.
B. It results from consumption policies.
C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.
D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.
√
And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.
B. Good behaviors boost economy.
C. Nudging helps build a greener world.
D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.

___17___. They determine how much data is stored when you press the shutter. RAW typically captures either 12-bit or 14-bit files, meaning they can represent billions of colour shades and tones. JPEGs (limited, to 8 bits) reproduce, about 16 million colour variations—plenty for a good basic shot, but when shooting for something special, it’s always better to have more colour, more light and more control.

It is in the editing that you discover RAW’s edge. After uploading to your computer, tablet or phone, the images can be “developed” in a basic photo editing program. It doesn’t take long to learn to fine-tune(微调)the images. Even under- and overexposed images can be enhanced to enliven shadows and highlights without any of the graininess(颗粒)that comes with inadequate light.___18___Because the editing process is “lossless”, the original RAW file is unaffected by your edits and can be stored or edited again for a different effect.

To make sure you don’t run out of space to store all that data, bring along lots of memory cards that you can swap in to your camera as you go. ___19___
Wondering how to get started? Dig into your camera or smartphone settings to change format and explore RAW. ___20___Then it’s time to play. In a flash you’ll see just what difference you can make to your photos.

Contemporary Western artists had been incorporating elements of Eastern art from the very beginning. Impressionist master Claude Monet and Cubist master Pablo Picasso both painted Eastern-styled ladies in “La Japonaise” and “Women of Algiers” 62 (respective), while Vincent van Gogh copied paintings of plum blossoms.
