A Southern California brewery has successfully tested a beer using treated sewage water. Stone Brewing, a large craft brewing operation headquartered in Escondido, presented its Full Circle Pale Ale to curious customers at an event lately in San Diego.The new ale is made using recycled, treated sewage water and is part of San Diego's plan, 'pure Water San Diego’,to get a third of its water from recycled sources by 2021. And the verdict for the brew, which some have dubbed 'toilet tap’,seemed to be quite positive, SF Gate reported.San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer told the Times that the brew was 'fantastic' and added: There's no better way to highlight the purity of this water. Other patrons said the brew was outstanding and delicious. Stone Brewing's Senior Manager of Brewing and Innovation, Steve Gonzalez, created the beer and said that he was doubtful at first. But all doubts were dispelled when he tried his brew.He told ABC 10: 'Among the pale ales that I've made, it's probably in the top three. 'The beer was made with three malts and three hops and has 'caramel and 'tropical fruit' notes. The recycled water only needed some salts before brewing. The brewery is used to using different water sources which in turn have different properties-following California's extreme drought conditions.Stone Brewing hopes to make the Full Circle Pale Ale available soon.1.

The average number of authors on scientific papers is sky-rocketing. That's partly because labs are bigger, problems are more complicated, and more different subspecialties are needed. But it's also because U.S. government agencies have started to promote "team science". As physics developed in the post-world War I era, federal funds built expensive national facilities, and these served as surfaces on which collaborations could crystallize naturally.Yet multiple authorship- however good it may be in other ways- presents problems for journals and for the institutions in which these authors work. For the journals, long lists of author are hard to deal with in themselves. But those long lists give rise to more serious questions when something goes wrong with the paper. If there is research misconduct, how should the liability be allocated among the authors? If there is an honest mistake in one part of the work but not in others, how should an evaluator aim his or her review?Various practical or impractical suggestions have emerged during the long-standing debate on this issue. One is that each author should provide, and the journal should then publish, an account of that author's particular contribution to the work. But a different view of the problem, and perhaps of the solution, comes as we get to university committee on appointments and promotions, which is where the authorship rubber really meets the road. Half a lifetime of involvement with this process has taught me how much authorship matters. I have watched committees attempting to decode sequences of names, agonize over whether a much-cited paper was really the candidate's work or a coauthors, and send back recommendations asking for more specificity about the division of responsibility.Problems of this kind change the argument, supporting the case for asking authors to define their own roles. After all, if quality judgments about individuals are to be made on the basis of their personal contributions, then the judges better know what they did. But if questions arise about the validity of the work as a whole, whether as challenges to its conduct or as evaluations of its influence in the field, a team is a team, and the members should share the credit or the blame.1. According to the passage, there is a tendency that scientific papers( ).2. One of the problems with multiple authorship is that it is hard( ).3.

It was Friday, the day of the field trip on which Miss Joan would take her class to pick apples.Miss Joan enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard(果园).The bus ride was bumpy and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. *‘What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day,” Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile.Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Let’s see, there are eighteen children and two adults at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please.”Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is two dollars each,” she pointed out. “That’s what I collected from everyone.”“We’ve had to raise the price,” Mr. Greenly stated.“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,” Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars’“Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,” Mr. Greenly said, “you’ll notice very important statement.”Sure enough, in very tiny letters, it said, ''Prices are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.“Now children, do you all have your baskets?” Miss Joan called out. ''Remember, each of you can pick as many apples as possible.”Mr. Greenly said, “You can’t pick as many apples as possible.”“I beg your pardon!” Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says, 'ALL YOU CAN PICK’!”Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan’s good mood was now history. She didn’t want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm in and quiet voice, “We’re going home, give me our money back, please.”1.

Elizabeth Holmes: Holmes is where the heart isTheranos's boss says her mission extends beyond making a fortune. TECH entrepreneurs often have their own distinctive uniforms. For Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, it is jeans and a hoodie. For the late Steve Jobs, it was jeans and black turtleneck. Elizabeth Holmes has plumped for something smarter matching black jacket, trousers and turtleneck. It saves having to decide what to wear each morning, she says with typical single-mindedness.At the age of 19 Ms Holmes had an idea about to improve the way blood tests are done. So she dropped out of Stanford University, where she was studying chemical engineering, and with money that had been set aside for her college education she quietly founded Theranos, a diagnostics company. That was in 2003. She says she spent the next ten years in "stealth mode, without press releases or even a company website. During that time she perfected a way of doing hundreds of tests cheaply and quickly on a drop of blood, using lab-on-a-chip technology.Today, aged 31, she is estimated by Forbes magazine to be worth $4.7 billion, and thus to be the world's youngest self-made female billionaire. She is the author, and co-author, of numerous patents and patent applications. Yet Ms Holmes seems uninterested in money or kudos.She says her mission is to use testing to help people stay healthy. She wants to detect diseases such as diabetes, cancers and heart disease far earlier, before they produce symptoms, and in doing so save lives. Admirers have compared her to technology titans like Jobs. But her focus on humanity's big problems makes her more like Elon Musk, who wants not just to make money building space rockets and electric cars, but to colonise other planets and save this one from climate change.This week Ms Holmes announced that she was taking her mission beyond America's borders, by launching a not-for-profit project to bring cheap medical tests to Mexico with backing from Carlos Slim, a Mexican telecoms magnate. Theranos is still privately owned—Ms Holmes says she holds more than 50% of its stock-and remains secretive about its revenue streams and plans. Although it is hard to know if the company merits its rich valuation, one encouraging sign for other investors is the company's stellar board of directors. It includes two former secretaries of state (George Shultz and Henry Kissinger)and a number of high-profile investors including Larry Ellison of Oracle. If an ability to win over luminaries is a diagnostic test for the health of young companies, Theranos passes.1. Elizabeth Holmes' mission in business is( )?2. Elizabeth Holmes is always in( )?3. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?4. Ms Holmes is like Elon Musk in( )?5. Two former secretaries of state and a number of high-profile investors are listed to( ).
