If a steaming bowl of soup strikes you as the ultimate in comfort, you've got plenty of company. Soup is one

of the world's oldest and most universal foods.

These are CNN's nominations for 4 of the best soups around the world:

Beef pho / Vietnam

Broth （汤底）is simmered for hours with cinnamon, star anise and other warm spices to create a

wonderfully fragrant base for this noodle soup.

Beef pho remains the most beloved version in Vietnam, with options that include the original raw beef, a mix

of raw and cooked beef.

Bouillabaisse / France

Bouillabaisse distills （提炼）classic Mediterranean flavors into a dish which has the same meaning as the

coastal city of Marseille. Saffron, olive oil, fennel, garlic and tomatoes blend with fish fresh from the sea.

Lanzhou beef noodle soup / China

Shaping - or pulling - la mi an noodles by hand for this traditional soup is an art in itself. Artisans use a finely

milled, high — gluten flour and alkaline powder to mix a stretchy dough, then pull and fold a single piece of

dough to make enough noodles for a bowl of soup.

Slip them into a bowl of beef soup for a world-class soup that includes tender beef, pale slices of carrots,

chili oil and fresh herbs.

Tom yum goong / Thailand

Sweet, sour, spicy and salty, this soup's magnificent broth is the ideal foil for sweet, tender shrimp. Fragrant

ingredients include galangal, lemongrass and lime leaves, while slivers of bright red bird's eye chilis add

additional heat.

Tom yum goong is just one of many varieties of tom yum soup in Thailand - this version comes enriched

with fat prawns, and is a favorite with many diners.

About 2,400 years ago in Athens a man was put to death for asking too many questions. If philosophy has a

patron saint （领航者），it is Socrates.

Shabby and a bit strange, Socrates did not fit in. Although physically ugly and often unwashed, he had great

charm and a brilliant mind. Everyone in Athens agreed that there had never been anyone quite like him and

probably wouldn't be again. He was unique.

As a young man, he had been a brave soldier fighting in the Peloponnesian War against the Spartans and

their allies. In middle age, he wandered around the marketplace, stopping people from time to time and asking

them awkward questions. That was more or less all he did. But the questions he asked were razor-sharp.

Over and over again Socrates demonstrated that the people he met in the marketplace didn't really know what

they thought they knew. A military commander would begin a conversation totally confident that he knew what

"courage" meant, but after 20 minutes in Socrates' company, he would leave completely confused. The experience

must have been disconcerting. Socrates loved to reveal the limits of what people genuinely understood, and to

question the assumptions on which they built their lives.

The word "philosopher" comes from the Greek words meaning "love of wisdom”. The kind of wisdom that it

values is based on argument, reasoning and asking questions, not on believing things simply because someone

important has told you they are true. Wisdom for Socrates was not knowing lots of facts, but knowing how to do

something. It meant understanding the true nature of our existence, including the limits of what we can know.

Philosophers today are doing more or less what Socrates was doing: asking tough questions, looking at reasons

and evidence, struggling to answer some of the most important questions we can ask ourselves about the nature of

reality and how we should live.

4. What can we learn about Socrates?

A. He always dressed himself properly and neatly.

B. He used to be an anti-war activist when young.

C. He had a sharp mind and the spirit of insistence.

D. He was enthusiastic about bargaining in the supermarket.

5. What does the underlined word “ disconcerting " in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Awesome. B. Enjoyable. C. Disturbing. D. Risky.

6. What is the wisdom from philosophy?

A. Learning to argue, reason and ask.

B. Having faith in what experts told you.

C. Figuring out how to solve the question.

D. Managing to have access to lots of facts.

7. Which column is the passage taken from?

A. Politics. B. Economy. C. Society. D. Culture.

If you frequently Google language-related questions, you've probably seen an advertisement for Grammarly,

an automated grammar-checker. Grammarly advertises its ability not only to fix a variety of mistakes like spelling

and grammar, but to replace the poor words and expressions with proper ones and improve styles too. Does it

achieve what it advertises? Sometimes. But sometimes Grammarly doesn't do what it should.

Artificial-intelligence systems like Grammarly are trained with data. Developers also manually add certain

rules to the patterns that Grammarly has taught itself. The software then looks at a user's article: if a string of

words seems ungrammatical, it tries to spot how the mistake most closely resembles one from its training inputs.

All this shows how far artificial intelligence is from the human kind. Computers have advantages over

humans at problems that can be solved with pure maths, such as chess. Advances in language technology have

been impressive in fields, such as speech recognition. But grammar is the real magic of language. And machines

are no match for humans. Computers can have a good command of labelling things like nouns and verb phrases.

But they struggle with grammatical sentences that are difficult to analyse precisely.

To correct such articles requires knowing what the writer has intended. But computers don't work in meaning

or intention; they work in formulae （公式）. Humans, by contrast, can understand even rather complex

grammar, because of the ability to guess the contents of other minds. Grammar-checking computers illustrate not

how bad humans are with language, but just how good.

8. According to the advertisement, Grammarly can help users.

A. polish the compositions

B. collect materials of writing

C. translate the essay into what you need

D. master the rules of spelling and grammar

9. In what way is artificial intelligence at a disadvantage?

A. Playing chess. B. Speech recognition.

C. Labelling nouns and verb phrases. D. Analysing grammatical sentences.

10. What is the writer's attitude to grammar-checking computers?

A. Praiseful. B. Unfavorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Uncaring.

11. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Humans have advantages over artificial intelligence.

B. A popular software to correct grammatical mistakes.

C. Artificial intelligence has some problems with grammar.

D. The advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence.

Taking an afternoon nap could keep your brain sharp, a new study has found. Adults ages 60 and older who

took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental mind compared to those who didn't nap, according to a study
