1．When a customer travelled 70miles just to buy his pork．Jamie Burge，whose family has raised Pinnate pigs for four generations．Thought nothing of it．
In the UK，the Pannage pigs have access （16）to their special diet of nuts for two months a year，which contributes to its very unique taste．（17）Increasing （increase） numbers of food lovers are looking for Pannage pork，and chefs always put it on the menu and they can just serve it very （18）simply．
Pannage is （19）anancient practice that's dying out outside the New Forest．The coals will release their pigs into the forest to eat fallen nuts in the autumn，and （20）theycan stay out for days and weeks．The exact timing of the season depends on when the nuts fall This year（21）which means that fewer has seen a worse nut harvest compared to last year，pigs have been released．"In the past few years we （22）have started（start）to see more interest in Pannage Pork，"says Burge．"People are paying a lot more attention to （23）wherecomes from．"
Burge takes pride （24）in the product．To increase supplies，he would like more local farmers to take up the （25）production（produce）of Pannage pork．

7．Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world？It's an increasingly urgent question，given the recent mining accidents in Sago．W．Va．and Huntington，Utah．A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work．
Robotic technology，in particular，holds much promise，McAteer says，especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners-the special operations of the mining industry．
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Canegie-Mellon University's Robotics Institute．It was called Groundhog．It used lasers to"see"in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines-some of the most dangerous work in the business．
The latest design is called Cave Crawler．It's a bit smaller than Grondhog，and even more advanced．It can take photos and video and has more sensors that can discover the presence of dangerous gases．The robot has a real sense of logic，which is hard to believe．If it comes across a thing in the way it gets confused．It has to think through the process and where to go next，and sometimes it  throws a fit just like a real person．
The greatest problem，though，is cost．The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government，but that money has dried up，and it's not clear where future money will come from．Partly for that reason，and partly because of advances in safely，mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past．Since 1990，fatalities（致命性） have declined by 67percent and injuries by 51percent，according to the National Mining Association．
Some experts predict that robots in the mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry．The robot do the most boring and dangerous jobs，but don't eliminate the need for human workers．
