              Sabina Castelfranco Rome October 16,2011-The U.N.World Food Program(世界粮食计划署) says there are growing concerns over food insecurity(不安全) in the developing world.Some of those concerns are discussed in a report to agree with the anniversary Sunday of World Food Day.
              The theme for World Food Day 2011 is"Food prices-From Crisis(危机) to Stability(稳定)".A ceremony to mark World Food Day will be held Monday at the headquarters(总部) of the U.N.Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome.
              Rising food prices,weather emergencies and political instability(政治不稳定性) are deepening the struggle of families trying to provide for their households in many developing nations.
              This year's"State of Food in Security in the World"report,published last week,focuses on the impact of food price volatility,confirming that high,unpredictable prices are likely to continue.
              The report highlighted how poor consumers,small farmers and countries dependent on imports,especially in Africa,have been deeply affected by the food and economic crises.
              Gregory Barrow is with the World Food Program in Rome.
              "If you look at the places where World Food Program works particularly in developing countries,you see populations of people who might be spending 60,70,80 percent of their salaries on purchasing food for their families."
              Barrow added that if prices become changeful and generally start rising,even by a small amount,it means that many of these people are going to struggle to put nutritious food on their tables.
              The report also showed that even shortterm fluctuations in prices can have a longterm effect on development,and that cutting back on nutritious food in the first 1,000 days of a child's life can affect mental and physical development and finally,future earning capacity.
              The United Nations has programs in place aimed at reducing the number of hungry people by onehalf by 2015.But most observers agree this target is unlikely to be reached.

              Here's a movie-a sharp,sugar-rush of fun that's guaranteed to entertain the entire family.
              With some terrific computer-generated effects,a great cast and a fun-packed storyline,Robots is the best animated film (动画片) since The Incredibles.Yep,it really is that good.
              Set in a world populated by robots,Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom,a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.
              But after arriving in Robot City,his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).
              Egged on by his controlling mum,Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent),Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City's citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.
              Instead,he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford.As he says,"Why be you when you can be new?"
              Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles-including Robin Williams as the cowardly'(胆小的)Fender ("I'm made of a metal called Afraidium")-Rodney must track down the firm's founder,Bigweld (Mel Brooks),and convince him to save the city from Ratchet's plans.
              The first thing that'll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City.It's a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.
              Also terrific are the special effects.This might be an animated movie but at times you'll catch yourself thinking it's really a live-action film.
              Of course,there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale,for example).
              But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.
              My only complaints are with Williams who,as usual,has a one-in-10success rate with his jokes.Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn't go anywhere.
              Complains aside,this is a mechanical marvel that'll have you bolted firmly to your seat.
              BEST QUOTE(引述):Fender:"Even though you had a discouraging day,just remember there's another one coming tomorrow."
              BEST BIT:Check out those amazing images.
              WORST BIT:Robin Williams,character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.
              IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age,The Incredibles,Toy Story…YOU'LL LIKE THIS.

              There are a number of companies that create robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology to computer science,though such tools have not become widespread yet.Advancements in natural language processing,combined with machine learning,have also enabled automatic grading of assignments.AI has also led to an explosion in popularity of MOOCs,or Massive Open Online Courses,which allows students from around the world to take classes online.
              Finance
              Use of AI in banking can be tracked back to 1987.Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations,maintain book-keeping,invest in stocks,and manage properties.Also,systems are being developed,like Atria,to translate complex data into simple and personable language.There are also wallets,like Wallet AI,which monitor an individual's spending habits and provides ways to improve them.
              Heavy industry
              Robots have become common in many industries and are often given jobs that are considered dangerous to humans.Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or accidents due to failure in concentration and other jobs which humans may find degrading.

              Toys and games
              Companies like Mattel have been creating AI-enabled toys for kids as young as age three.Using proprietary AI engines and speech recognition tools,they are able to understand conversations,give intelligent responses and learn quickly.AI has also been applied to video games,for example video game bots,which are designed to stand in as opponents where humans aren't available or desired.

              A. Robots have been widely used to teach children.

              Flying is fine if you want to save time,but nothing beats the railway for a relaxing and down-to-earth journey.The Zhengzhou---Xuzhou and Xi'an---Fuzhou high-speed railways put into operation in September mark a connection of high-speed railways in China's eastern and middle-western regions,and they have brought out some of the country's best landscapes and cuisines.
              Here are four signature dishes(招牌菜)that you shouldn't miss as you travel along the railways.
              Yangrou Paomo,Xi'an
              If one dish could represent Xi'an,the capital of Shaanxi,locals would tell you without doubt that it's Yangrou Paomo.It is a bowl of lamb soup served with hard flour"bread",which is broken up and added to the soup.The soup is topped with slices of mutton,scallion(葱) and coriander(香菜).Then it is usually eaten with picked sweet garlic.
              Soup Dumpling,Kaifeng
              A popular snack in Kaifeng,Henan,the dish is made up of three things:skin,meat and soup.The skin is mad from flour,while the filling is usually pork.And just as its name suggests,the soup dumplings are filled with tasty soup.But how does the steaming hot soup get into the dumplings?It's actually been cooled and cut into cubes,which fit easily into the dough(面团).Along with the pork,the cubes become liquid soup once they're steamed.
              Smelly Mandarin Fish,Huangshan
              Despite its name,Smelly Mandarin Fish(臭鳜鱼)is known for its good taste.A lot of travelers who visit Huangshan in Anhui want to taste it because they have heard of its reputation.Once the skin has been removed,the fresh is preserved in salty water for six to seven days,then friend and cooked in soy sauce.Although salting gives the fish its special smell,the original tender flesh is preserved well and given a delicious and unique taste.
              Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,Fuzhou
              The dish has enjoyed an over 100-year-long worldwide reputation since it was invented in Fuzhou,Fujian in the late Qing Dynasty(1644-1911).Fotiaoqiang,or Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,got its interesting name from a poem a customer wrote.The poem said the dish was so delicious that upon smelling it,monks in the neighboring temple would jump over the wall to come and get some.Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is made up of many ingredients,including sea cucumber(海参),chicken,pork and mushroom.Because of these ingredients,it tastes extremely delicious while being highly nutritious at the same time.
