【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 vere population and habitat loss, Smithsonian scientists created the Bird Friendly certification. Bird Friendly coffees are shadegrown, meaning the coffee is planted under trees, rather than on the land that has been cleared of all other plants. Coffee experts say shadegrown coffees taste better, because the beans ripen slower than coffee grown in the full sun, resulting in a richer, more plex flavor. Bird Friendly certified coffees grow under biodiverse shade that provides habitat for migratory songbirds and other wildlife, stores carbon and fights climate change. Bird Friendly coffees are also certified organic, meaning they are grown without pesticides, which is better for people and for the planet. Bird Friendly producers can also earn more for their crops. The wood and fruit trees on shade coffee farms provide farmers with additional ine.

You can purchase Bird Friendly certified coffees around the world and protect wildlife and habitat with every cup.

Now the silver haired 78year old has realized he would like his loved ones to have access to those stories, even when he is no longer alive to share them. Kaplan has agreed to bee AndyBot a virtual person who will be: immortalized(T F5)in the cloud for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years If all goes according to plan future generations will be able to interact with him using voice puting platforms of mobile devices, asking him questions, letting him tell stories and drawing upon a lifetime39。s worth of advice long after his physical body is gone. Someday, Kaplan, who playfully refers to himself as a pig, may be remembered as one of the world39。s first digital humans. For decades, Silicon Valley futurists have sought to free humanity from the life cycle. Today, a new generation of panies is selling some approximation(近似) of virtual immortality, which gives people the opportunity to preserve one39。s legacy(遺產(chǎn)) online forever. Kaplan is eager to bee one of the world39。s first virtual residents, partly because he considers the effort a way to extend closed family bonds over multiple generations. If technology succeeds in creating emotionally intelligent digital humans, experts say, it may forever change the way living people cooperate with puters and experience loss. AndyBot may bee one of the world39。s first: meaningful examples, raising plex philosophical questions about the nature of immortality and the purpose of existence itself.（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph? highlight Kaplan39。s achievements. introduce the topic AndyBot. arouse readers interest in Kaplan. introduce Kaplan39。s life.（2）Why did Andrew Kaplan agree to bee AndyBot? wanted to share his life experience as long as possible. wanted to make his loved one remember him. believed this action will help with his novels. could live in the cloud to continue his life.（3）What might the AndyBot do for future generations? may use voice puting platforms. may use a new body to go on living. may offer so
