3. 英翻中【配分25分】For many people, the kitchen is the center of the home and a locus for interactions that go beyond preparing and eating food. Yet the "smart kitchen" remains a tough sell. Apart from their fears of disrupting the rhythms and patterns in the heart of the home, people may be hesitant to incorporate smart devices into their kitchens because of the costs of maintaining such appliances.

第二題：英翻中 Sex education in American public schools is routinely criticized as lacking comprehensive information, using stigmatizing language, and increasing harm to students through abstinence-based programs when it comes to sexual orientation and gender identity. LGBTQ students generally feel unheard, unacknowledged, and unwelcome as the exclusion of such topics in the curriculum leaves many students physically and emotionally vulnerable. Now a growing number of more open-minded educators are promoting age-appropriate concepts of sexuality and gender at an earlier stage to build empathy and curb bullying. They believe those ideas are easier to be accepted and understood than if first introduced in middle and high schools, when most students’ thoughts are already ingrained and thus difficult to reconstruct.【25 分】
