In South Korea, students pay for classes in everything from K-pop auditions (韩流试镜)to real estate (房地产)deals. Now, top Korean firms are using artificial intelligence (AI) in hiring, and job-seekers want to learn how to beat the robots.

From his basement office in Seoul, career consultant Park Seong-jung is among those in a growing business of offering lessons in handling recruitment screening by computers, not people. Video interviews using facial recognition technology to analyze character are key, according to Park.

"Don't force a smile with your lips," he told students looking for work in a recent session, one of many he said he has conducted for hundreds of people. "Smile with your eyes".

Classes in dealing with Al in hiring, are still a tiny part of the country's multi-billion-dollar cram school (补习学校)industry. But classes are growing fast, operators like Park's People & People consultancy claim, offering a three-hour package for Up to 100,000 won ($86).

There's good reason to see potential. As many: as 8 out of every 10 South Korean students are estimated to have used cram schools, and high youth unemployment in the country—nearly one in four young people are not in the workforce—offers a motivation not present in other countries where cram schools are popular, like Japan.

One AI video system reviewed by Reuters asks candidates to introduce themselves, during which it spots and counts facial expressions including "fear" and "joy" and analyses word choices. AI hiring also uses "gamification" to judge a candidate's personality and adaptability by putting them through numbers of tests. Preparing for such tests doesn't necessarily involve simply memorizing answers. Some games don't even have a 'right answer', as they are aimed to spot the problem-solving attitude of the applicant.

Consultant Park said he gave Al firing talks to more than 700 university students, graduates and lecturers in 2019. In an online chat room monitored by Park, with more than 600 participants, numerous messages indicate thanks for the classes and success in AI interview quests. "Students are struggling from the emergence of AI interviews. My goal is to help them be fully prepared for what they will be dealing with," said Park.

    Getting old might not be something that's yet to cross your mind. But ageing is unavoidably going to get the better of us one day. And that’s why scientists are constantly seeking out evidence that will show us what we need to do to achieve longevity.

We all know that regular exercise is good for us. In recent years, although we've been told to aim to walk 10,000 steps a day to remain healthy, other advice to do three quick and energetic 10-minute walks a day is thought to be even more effective. And the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you’re someone who walks at a fast pace. That’s because, according to scientists, the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains, as well as their bodies, are ageing.

Tests on 1,000 people from New Zealand born in the 1970s found that slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated ageing". Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those who walked fester. And what’s worse, the study found not only did slower walkers' bodies age more quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.

This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace who might feel it's time to work out get fitter. But it might be too late; researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will go on to have a healthier life.

So, what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Well, researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age, and understanding what this might mean, could be a way of testing treatments to slow human ageing. This might help us make lifestyle changes while we're still young and healthy. Any steps we can take to prolong a good mental and physical state is a no brainer!

1.Which of the following is considered to be a better choice?

A.Walking 10,000 steps a day. B.Doing three quick and energetic walks a day.

C.Doing irregular exercise every day. D.Frequently doing sports in spring.

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Faster walkers will get fitter, be younger and have bigger brains.

B.People's health condition can be predicted from their walking speed at 45.

C.This study found that slower walkers age more slowly.

D.People who walk faster are more brilliant than slower walkers.

3.What does the underlined word "prolong" in Para.5 mean?

A.give something up B.transfer something at random

C.make something last longer D.put something off

4.What would be the best title?

A.Walking to Stay Young B.Getting Old and Doing Exercise

C.Having a Happy Life D.Slow Walking and Ageing

 

    In January 2020, as I watched the news about the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, I kept thinking, “This is not good.” As the situation stepped up, I knew it was only a matter of time before it came to my hometown in Cornwall. And, on February 15, it did.

That day, we found out the government was sending over 100 Canadians citizens who were aboard the Diamond Princess, an infected cruise ship, to a hotel here for a 14-day quarantine. Suddenly, things got very real. As a nurse in the emergency department at Cornwall Community Hospital, I’d be treating any passengers with the virus. I didn't even have time to fully absorb the news—I just grabbed my scrubs (手术衣)and sprang into action.

There are times when it feels like the whole department is on fire. There are moments when we have multiple critical patients hanging in the balance, incoming trauma (创伤)patients, and an overflowing waiting room. After all, in the ER (emergency room), we're still treating car accident injuries, heart attacks, strokes—anything you can think of, and a dozen things you can't. And it's all complicated by this virus.

I’ve been a nurse since 1994, so I’ve helped prepare for my fair share of outbreaks. I've worked through the rise of Ebola, H1N1, and SARS. But COVID-19 is a sneaky virus. This outbreak is scarier because patients can spread the virus while symptom-free. With SARS, it was clearer who was infected. With COVID-19, we have fewer clues that someone might be a carrier.

I felt so bad for the first cruise ship patients we treated—we were the first people they'd seen in a while, and our equipment made us look like aliens? But they were very kind and patient. They were just eager to get home. Luckily, they didn't have the virus. In the end, we prevented disaster.

I don't think we've yet seen the full extent of this situation. However, I believe my hospital will get through this and we will eventually win the battle.

    Canada is a land filled with fascinating places and amazing adventures. The only problem: Narrowing down your choice of destinations. Here are several of the best places to visit in Canada for any traveler determined to discover the true north.

Churchill, Manitoba

Set on the shores of Hudson Bay, this subarctic(靠近北极的)town has earned international fame as the polar bear capital of the world. So plentiful are the bears that the town actually has a polar bear prison,” which holds bears that are resistant to people's instruction and wander into town until they can be released back into the wild. Encountering a polar bear in the wild is no doubt an unforgettable experience.

Banff and Lake Louise, Alberta

Set inside the borders of the vast Banff National Park, Banff and Lake Louise is one of the best places to visit in Canada. Here you'll find a Rocky Mountain wonderland; a place of electric blue glacial lakes, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife (from elk to bighorn sheep). Stay either in Banff, the busy center of the area and home to classic hotels like the Fairmont Banff Springs (one of Canada's greatest hotels), or hike trails up into the mountains—and unparalleled(无与伦比的)silence-are just steps away.

Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick

Recently shortlisted in a massive international competition to name a new seven wonders of the natural world, the tides on this big bay, make it truly one of the best places to visit in Canada. The most extreme tides on earth, they rise and fall more than 50 feet in some places. These can be seen most dramatically at a place like Hopewell Rocks, unique stone formations that, at low tide, form towers on dry land but become islands as the water rises.

Quebec City

The oldest walled city in North America, Quebec City holds both British charm and culture alongside its unmistakable French-Canadian character. It also bears the distinction of being the place where, as every good Canadian history student knows, Wolfe defeated Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham, securing Canada for the British Empire.

1.Why are the polar bears put into prison in Churchill?

A.Because there are a large number of bears.

B.Because the government wants to attract more tourists.

C.Because they don't follow people's guidance.

D.Because they resist living in town.

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A.When traveling in Canada, people have narrow choices of destinations.

B.You can enjoy neither busy life nor unparalleled silence in Banff and Lake Louise.

C.Hopewell Rocks stand like islands on dry land but turn into towers when the tide comes.

D.Britain and France once had a war to secure their own rule over Canada in Quebec City.

3.The author writes the text with the intention of        .

A.showing the most worth-visiting country B.helping tourism boost in Canada

C.providing information for travelers to Canada D.proving how knowledgeable the author is

    The Internet, as we know, is probably one of the greatest inventions of human history. Never before has the access to the collection of the world’s knowledge ever been more available. 1. Some people look to make use of the information you are providing to the Internet. Everything you do online leaves a small footprint.

There are a couple of steps you can take to make your adventures online a little safer and more secure. Let’s take a look at them.

Cover your tracks.

Whenever you visit a website, a small file is marked in your browser(浏览器), which is called a “cookie”. 2. This enables the webserver to know if you have been there before and it can tailor the presentation to your personal tastes. They are also how Facebook knows to serve you ads based on stuff you looked at on Amazon.

So what’s the harm in the cookie? Well, hackers can use the information stored in your cookies to edit a browsing history or with less secure cookies, take your passwords for some sites. If you want to protect yourself from your information being available to sites then you can turn off the generation of cookies in your browser. 3.

4.

The major browsers, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari are all built to be secure from snooping(窥探), but the people who write the code for the browsers are human and they make mistakes.   5. These are usually addressed very quickly, but it is important that you make sure your browser is up to date. Just like your operating system, new security patches are being applied all the time, you need to make sure you have them. Turning on automatic updates is something I highly recommend.

A.Use the latest browsers.

B.Change browsers frequently.

C.This will help protect you online.

D.That’s how the cookie works on our computer.

E.This great invention and resource is not without its dangers.

F.It is common for a security problem to pop up with a browser.

G.These cookies store information about who you are and what you looked at.

 

    Fancy a trip down a wormhole? Calculations suggest that this might be possible, because these entrances through space-time could stick around forever.

Wormholes are essentially a pair of connected black holes. Two types could theoretically exist. A non-traversable wormhole is like a room with two doors that can be used only from the outside—the doors are black holes through which things can enter, but never escape. “These are not very interesting, as any astronaut who is brave enough to venture in won’t be able to make it back to tell the story,” says Diandian Wang at the University of California.

Traversable(能横过的) wormholes are also possible, but until now we didn’t know whether they could exist for long enough for anything to pass through them. For such a wormhole to form, space-time needs to naturally change shape. In classical physics, this can’t happen. But the rules of quantum mechanics(量子力学) allow space-time to do so for brief periods.

Wang worked on a scenario(设想) involving string theory, in which the fundamental ingredient of reality is tiny strings. If one of these strings breaks, it can create a traversable wormhole with black hole-like entrances either end that allow both entry and exit.

Although researchers had shown that this was a possibility before, it seemed that the energy involved would always break the wormhole.

Now, Wang and his team have calculated that the curvature of space-time could counteract this acceleration, keeping the fake black holes still and allowing the throat of the wormhole to remain open. This scenario is extremely unlikely, and becomes even more unlikely, the longer the wormhole is and the larger the black holes are. Thanks to quantum mechanics, though, the probability of it happening isn’t zero. Wang’s team also calculated that, once a traversable wormhole exists, it could remain stable for at least as long as the universe has been around.

“The work shows how wormholes could be created from scratch,” says Aron Wall at the University of Cambridge. But he points out that they couldn’t be used to time travel or move faster than light.

1.What are wormholes in the text?

A.Real worm holes on the earth. B.Tunnels through space and time.

C.Rooms with two doors. D.A pair of strings.

2.What does “this” refer to in Paragraph 5?

A.The wormhole. B.The black hole.

C.The scenario. D.The calculation.

3.Which theory supports Wang’s scenario?

A.String theory. B.Quantum mechanics.

C.Classical physics. D.Modern research.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Wormholes: A New Possibility for Human Being

B.It Is Possible for People to Go Back

C.How Amazing It Is to Travel in Space

D.A New Space-time Study Is Going on

 

    The term "quiet stress” is gathering pace among experts, who say it's an often overlooked form of the more widely known version, which is characterised by visible outbursts: losing tempers, swearing, shouting, and anger.

"We quietly hold our stress within: we don't speak up about how we feel. And very importantly, we become inactive. We stay in unhappy relationships and unfulfilling jobs. We feel overwhelmed(被压倒的), yet ignore important administration tasks. Quiet stress creates a form of emotional paralysis (麻痹)that keeps us ' stuck' in unhappy situations, says Jillian Lavender, who runs the London Meditation Centre.

Cary Cooper, a professor of psychology and health at the University of Manchester, likens the effects of quiet stress to shrapnel(榴弹):“You can learn to quieten your stress responses, but eventually the stress will emerge: as well as a suppressed immune system, you may withdraw socially, isolate yourself and begin to engage in unhealthy habits like comfort eating or drinking too much. Despite getting a bad rap over the years, expressing anger or frustration is far healthier than smiling sweetly while feeling quietly stressed."

A recent study from Stanford University in the US backs this theory up. The researchers found that seeing stress as a helpful part of dealing with life's challenges, rather than as something to be avoided, was associated with better health, emotional well being and productivity at work.

“Stress isn't always harmful,” said Kelly McGonigal, a business school lecturer at Stanford who worked on the study. "Once you appreciate that going through stress makes you better at it, it can be easier to face each new challenge.”

1.Which behavior belongs to “quiet stress”

A.Reacting slowly. B.Speaking up.

C.Smiling sweetly. D.Scolding others.

2.What is the best way to relieve from quiet stress according to Cary Cooper?

A.Developing a good habit. B.Eating much junk food.

C.Finishing tasks on time. D.Making your feelings known.

3.According to Paragraph 4 stress is.

A.something beneficial sometimes B.something harmful to health

C.something to be kept D.something affecting work

4.Which of the following statements can describe stress according to the text?

A.Silence is gold. B.Life is not easy.

C.One coin has two sides. D.Stress is everywhere.

 

    A trick question: Can you name the only three writers who have won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction twice? Faulkner, yes Updike. And? Hats off if you came up with Booth Tarkington.

And yet his two prize-winners——"The Magnificent Ambersons" and " Alice Adams”, just reissued in one volume by the Library of America—are not even the most commercially successful novels of his extraordinarily successful career. Nine of his books were ranked among the top ten sellers of their year, and the strangely dissimilar The Turmoil and Seventeen were the No. 1 sellers in consecutive(连续的)years. And then there's Penrod, probably the most beloved boys' book since Tom and Huck, though I can't recommend a stroll down that particular memory lane.

There are thirty or so novels, countless short stories and serials, a string of hit plays. And there were countless honors: Tarkington was not only commercial but literary—not just the Pulitzers but in 1933 the gold medal for fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, which Edith Wharton and William Dean Howells had won previously. As early as 1922, the Times had placed him twelfth on a list of the twelve greatest contemporary American men.

As for booksellers, in 1921 they voted him the most significant contemporary American writer. Nothing ever changes. How to explain this remarkable career—the quick rise to fame, the unaffected reputation over several decades, and then the pronounced fall into shadowiness? If you read all his fiction, you find a steady although uninspired hand at the helm. Slowly, painstakingly (费力地),Tarkington had taught himself to write reliable prose (散文)and construct appealing fictions he was modest—always literate but never showy. You could count on him to catch your interest even if he failed to grasp your imagination or your heart. And he was always a gentleman.

1.What does "Hats off" underlined in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Show respect. B.Feel nervous.

C.Throw away hats. D.Take off hats.

2.Which book is possibly popular among boys?

A.The Magnificent Ambersons. B.Alice Adams.

C.Penrod. D.Seventeen.

3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.Tarkington's works and honors. B.Tarkington's personality.

C.Tarkington's social position. D.Tarkington's achievements.

4.What's the authors attitude to Tarkington?

A.Doubtful. B.Objective.

C.Negative. D.Admiring.

I was responding to a call from a small brick flat(用砖做的公寓) in a quiet part of town. I assumed I was being sent to pick up some party-goersor someone who had just had a fight with a loveror a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town.

When I arrived at 230 a.m., thebuildingwas dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under such circumstances, manydriversjust honk(按喇叭) once or twicewait a minutethen drive away. But I had seen too many weak people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.

Unless a situation smelled of dangerI always went to thedoor.

This passenger might be someone who needsmy assistanceI reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute” answered a frailelderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pausethe door opened.A small womanin her 80s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hatlike somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.

The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, noequipmenton the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.

“Would you carry my bag out to the car” she said. I tookthe suitcaseto the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm, and we walked slowly toward the cab.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

While contact between adolescents(between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers(同龄人) is universal characteristic of all cultures the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.

This pattern of age segregation(隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults.

School reform efforts during the nineteenth century which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children.

Finally the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 to 1975 the adolescent population increased dramatically from 11 percent to 20 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size as well as in terms of its impact on society's other cultures(adults younger children).

Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents’daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In typical week high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade adults excluding parents account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous(自治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.
