Delivering Food by Drone
A Singapore
restaurant plans to use drones (遥控飞机) to transport
food and drinks from the
kitchen to a wait
station near customers’ tables.
Infinium
Robotics, the Singapore company that’s developing
the drones for restaurant chain
Timbre, has
spent the past two weeks testing the technology at
the restaurant before it opens each
night
21 business and hopes to have it in place by the
end of the year.
But how does the drone know
where to hover (盘旋)? What if someone bumps into
the drone
or is standing in its way? “There’s
no chance at all 22 it will hit anything,”
says Infinium
Robotics chief executive Junyang
Woon.
The drones automatically charge while
23 (wait) in the kitchen. 24 the chef puts
an order on the drone, he hits a button on a
keypad and the drone automatically flies to one of
two
wait stations. Sense-and-avoid technology
25 (build) into the drone won’t allow it to land
at
the wait station if anything is in its way.
The drones are equipped with sonar (声纳系统) and an
infrared sensor (红外线传感器), too.
A waiter
then removes the food or drink from the drone and
hits a button 26 sends it
back to the
kitchen. The drones, weighing a little over five
pounds, 27 carry just over four
pounds of
food. Infinium Robotics is working on a model that
will carry twice as 28 (much)
food.
“Its job is to help the waiters to reduce some
of their boring tasks, ” Woon said. “If they let
the robots 29 (do) the job, they can
concentrate on interacting with customers to bring
about
higher customer satisfaction and dining
experience.”
Since it drew recent media
attention, Woon 30 (hear) from resorts and
restaurants in 10
countries, including the
United States.

Loss of
Biodiversity (生物多样性) Affects Human Society

do
with us humans? Well, according to a team

dropping
below levels (21) ______ (consider)
safe for the health and happiness of human
societies.
The issue is that everything is
inter-connected and ecosystems support our
societies (22)
______ they provide us with,
for example, food, fibres and fuels. If species go
on disappearing,
this can disturb many vital
processes (23) ______ crop pollination (授粉) and

within (24) ______ humans can really
operate
-- called planetary boundaries -- says (25) ______
(lose) more than 10% of the
biodiversity in an

safety.
A study published in the magazine

surface (26)
______ (reduce) below this level
already. These areas house 71% of the global
population.
Professor Andy Purvis, from

says, “Once we’re the wrong side of the boundary,
(27) ______
doesn’t mean everything goes wrong
immediately, but there is a remarkable higher risk
(28)
______ things will go badly
wrong.”
The researchers found that grasslands,
savannas and shrub lands were most affected by
biodiversity loss on average. Purvis hopes
this report (29) ______ become a wake-up call to
those
who design policies. Here’s his warning:
“Decision-makers worry a lot about economic
recessions
(衰退), but an ecological recession
could have even (30) ______ (bad) consequences –
and the
biodiversity damage we’ve had means
we’re at risk of that happening. Until and unless
we can
bring biodiversity back up, we’re
playing ecological roulette (轮盘赌).”
