Let's face it, most of us are really busy. So busy that we don't make time for creativity. Even those who work in creative fields are probably at a point where true creativity is being pushed behind more pressing tasks. This doesn't necessarily have to be so. 1.

Schedule It

Put your creativity tasks into your calendar-you have a very important meeting with yourself! 2. All you really need is about 15 minutes a day and that can really start to swing the pendulum (钟摆 )  in the other direction.  I find that 15 minutes in the morning after a fresh cup of coffee is an ideal time for some creative work. You can plan a day to go out and explore something new to get inspired, whatever you feel is going to fuel your creative energy. Schedule these into your month, as well.

Shift Your Mindset

Like I mentioned, sometimes it has to start with your own belief. 3., then it's not going to happen. I found that once I redesigned my business to free up more time for me, 1 was able to really let go of guilt and realize that creativity is self-care. Even if it's not going to better your career. it's likely going to "better" you, and that makes it all worthwhile.

Make Space

4.,but how about physical space? Is there a place in your home that you can devote to your creativity? Maybe it's in your office. You can have a spot with your art utensils. musical instruments, your favorite books. Or maybe it's in your backyard and you have a spot where you drink tea and practice writing. Sometimes it may be a corner of pillows in your bedroom that you snuggle in and listen to music. Having a devoted spot helps to foster it as a daily practice that you look forward to.

5.

Just like all your good habits, you have to make them routine. Once you get used to carving out time and space for your creativity, you will wonder how you ever lived without it!

A. Be Curious

B. Make It Routine

C. It can be such a waste of time

D. But seriouslv, this really helps

E. We've talked about mental space

F. If you're not valuing your creative time

G. Here are some easy tips for making it a priority

    Water is a necessity of life. Rain, especially, helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain, especially in cities, can lead to flooding. That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.

A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation's capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five "green roofs" for the university. He says he is excited about the project because "it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren't doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture. " Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.

In cities, “you don't have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space," says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. "We also have our own farm experiments," Arlotta said.  “ Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best. "

Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC's Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she's been surprised by the garden's output. ”My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need. " She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation's capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. “This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets,food trucks, and then you recycle. "

1.What do we know about the rooftop gardens?

A.Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.

B.There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.

C.They're playing an important role in the city's food supply.

B.Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.

C.Some univercity students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.

D.The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.

3.How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?

A.Confident.

B.Doubtful.

C.Worried.

D.Ambiguous.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Rainwater Necessity for Plant Life

B.Green Roofs-The Future of Urban Agriculture

C.The United States' Agriculture Program

D.Rooftop Gardens-Food Paradise

    In 1953，a mountain climber reported seeing a bar-headed goose soar over the peak of Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛 ).  It was thought impossible.  Now researchers who raised 19 of the geese—named for the black stripes on the backs of their heads—have shown the birds really fly so high.

The team trained the youngsters to fly in a large wind tunnel wearing backpacks and face masks full of sensors that recorded their heart rate. blood oxygen levels, temperature, and metabolic rate—how many calories they burned per hour. The researchers simulated(模拟)10w-, medium-, and high-altitude conditions by altering the concentration of oxygen supplied to face masks worn by each goose as it flew in the tunnel.

Birds already have a better heart and lungs than mammals for sustained physical activity. And researchers knew that bar-headed geese have even larger, thinner lungs that let them breathe more deeply and an even bigger heart to pump more oxygen to muscles than other birds.

The wind tunnel experiments showed that when the concentration of oxygen was at its lowest-like the 7% found on top of Mount Everest versus 21% at sea level—the geese's heart rate and frequency of wing beats remained the same even as their metabolic rate dropped. Somehow, the birds managed to cool down their blood-the measured blood temperature droppedso it could take in more oxygen, the researchers report today in eLife. This cooling likely helps compensate for the very thin air, the team says.

Although well trained, the birds were only willing to stay in the air a few minutes-or Iesswhen wearing their backpacks and flying at 6ihigh" altitudes. So it's not clear whether these adaptations alone are what make it possible to fly the 8 hours it takes to climb over Mount Everest. But those few minutes showed these geese really could fly over the top of Mount Everest.

1.Why did the researchers raise 19 bar-headed geese and train them?

A.To test the flying height and speed of them.

B.To confirm they could fly over Mount Everest.

C.To observe them flying through the wind tunnel.

D.To see how many calories they burned per hour.

2.What can we learn from the wind tunnel experinent?

A.It was carried out at very high altitude.

B.The geese managed to breathe less when their blood decreased.

C.The geese could live through the lowest concentration of oxygen.

D.It shows the geese could fly at high altitude for long.

3.What still puzzles scientists about the geese?

A.Whether they have super hearts and lungs.

B.Whether they have muscles pumped more oxygen to.

C.Whether they are willing to wear backpacks and face masks.

D.Whether they can manage to fly 8 hours to climb over Mount Everest.

4.Where does the text most probably come from?

A.A science fiction.

B.A climbing guide.

C.A travel brochure.

D.A science report.

    Brandon Olsen and Tylor Fritz of Hometown Sanitation (公共卫生) left gifts for three sisters who waved to them each Thursday after learning that one of them, 3-year-old Rose, had been fighting cancer.

The men also gave their parents free garbage service for one year.

“When they did that, it was a few weeks before the diagnosis (诊断) when every day just felt so impossible,” said Rose's mother, Angie Evenson, of Blue Earth, Minnesota. “Nothing in reality changes Rose’s diagnosis. But what they did makes us feel we are truly not alone in this fight.”

With binoculars (双筒望远镜) in hand, Rose and her two sisters, Grace, 5 and Sophia, 2 sat by the window and waved at their garbage men, Olsen and Fritz, as they drove by on their weekly route.

Olsen, 29, and Fritz, 24, told ABC News that the girl’s smiling faces are what they look forward to while working. They even left Halloween candy for the girls this year to show their appreciation. They hope that more and more people can understand and support their work.

But weeks later, Evenson wrote Olsen and Fritz a note explaining that little Rose wouldn’t be able to wave to them for a while since she'd be undergoing chemotherapy (化疗). Rose had been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer in September.

“As a father of three, it changed my outlook on things,” Olsen said. “It opened my eyes…you don’t know what someone else is going through.”

Fritz said he cried when he read the note. “I got to the chemo part and there were tears running down my face,” he recalled. “I don’t have any children of my own, but I can imagine if someone very close to me is diagnosed as cancer, I’ll be heartbroken.”

“Rose is being treated at Sanford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She will miss a few more Thursdays, when she can wave to her garbage men, but her chemo sessions will be switched to Mondays soon and she’ll be back by the window early next year. I have confidence in Rose’s recovery.” her mother said.

1.How did the garbage men help Rose’s family?

A.They took the sick girl to hospital regularly.

B.They collected the garbage for free.

C.They looked after Rose in turn.

D.They offered money to help cure Rose.

2.What can we learn about the garbage men?

A.They made the family famous. B.They encouraged the family.

C.They gave Angie Evenson a good lesson. D.They doubted about the doctor’s diagnosis.

3.What do the garbage men wish for in terms of the girls’ smiling faces?

A.People’s appreciation for their work.

B.Good friendship with the young girls.

C.Making more efforts to do their work well.

D.The girls’ family’s caring more for their children.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Olsen has three sons. B.Fritz has not got married.

C.Fritz is faced with a serious disease. D.Evenson is optimistic about Rose’s condition.

It is helpful to know about the town, city or area you re going to live in before you arrive. Work out where the center of town is in relation to your accommodation and the university campus. 2. If not, it’s a good idea to explore the local public transport so you know what to expect head of arriving.

Technology is your friend here. 3. You can join social media groups, chat to other students, find out who is in your halls, and prepare for your course before you’ve even finished packing.

And if you can, keep active. Regular exercise can improve your confidence and help you concentrate, sleep better and feel better. Exercise keeps the brain and other vital organs healthy. 4.

Exercise doesn’t have to be running miles and miles on a treadmill (跑步机). Street dance, rock and roll class, self-defense and playing a competitive sport can keep you in shape.

5. Both of them can have a long lasting effect on physical and mental health. A healthy diet should include different types of fruit and vegetables, wholegrain breads, nuts and seeds, oily fish and plenty of water.

E. University should be a time of growth, both mentally and academically.

F. Social media is also a great way for students to stay connected with their parents.

G. Fortunately, there are a few easy steps you can take to prepare yourself for your new life.

    You can’t see your sleeping pet’s brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you’ll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change in her breathing, Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch (抽动) and she flicks (轻拂) an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can’t run about. She is in a state of “sleep paralysis (麻痹)”.

Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and arched (成弓形) their backs at unseen enemies. He figured he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, catching, and fighting.

In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫). One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!

Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.

Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, how often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.

1.What does Michel Jouvet find in his study?

A.The dreaming cats are practising their important skills.

B.The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.

C.The eyes of dreaming cats move while bodies are still.

D.The dreaming cats suddenly wake up and run for the ball.

2.What can you learn from the passage?

A.Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.

B.Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn.

C.Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.

D.Rats also dream to work out their recent learning.

3.Which animal may dream most frequently?

A.Dogs. B.Rats.

C.Cows. D.Elephants.

4.How does the author develop this passage?

A.By making comparisons. B.By using figures.

C.By telling stories. D.By showing facts.

    “What kind of rubbish are you?”This question might normally cause anger，but in Shanghai it bas brought about weary complaints over the past few months. On July 1st，the city introduced strict rubbish-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country. Citizens must divide their waste into four separate categories and put it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure that rules are obeyed and to examine the nature of one's rubbish.

Violators could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain hank loans or even buy train tickets.

Shanghai authorities are responding to obvious environmental problem. It produces 9 million tons of garbage a year. But like other cities in china, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on rubbish pickers to pick out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China produces 80 billion pairs of one-off chopsticks a year.

Many citizens appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or hazardous（有害的），the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the required public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss（投掷）it by hand, Most annoying are the short periods for throwing trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.

1.What's the purpose of Paragraph l?

A.To complain about rubbish dividing.

B.To explain the four categories of the waste.

C.To introduce the rules on waste sorting.

D.To show the goal of rubbish, sorting regulations.

2.What does the underlined word "Violators" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.People who don't pay for train tickets. B.People who argue with the monitors.

C.People who obtain bank loans. D.People who are against the regulations.

3.What makes the citizens upset most about the rules?

A.Complex distinction among the four categories of rubbish.

B.Short scheduled time for tossing rubbish.

C.Being observed by monitors when throwing the garbage.

D.Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.A Restart of Waste-sorting B.A New Age of Garbage Classification

C.Learning to Classify Rubbish D.Rubbish-sorting Benefits the World

    J.K. Rowling frequently shows there is magic every day. Her Harry Potter series has helped people through times of stress and depression and she is always there to deliver wise words of encouragement.

She is a celebrity (名人) who is very active on twitter. So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series, she noticed. Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9-year-old daughter Bailey.

He included a link to his article titled being a broke Parent. He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events. The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV, which means there’s no “digital babysitter”, and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter. Since he received the series, the main thing they have done these days is reading books together.

Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties, but he’s loving reading them now. “We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud,” Burke explains. “This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone, but it gets me directly involved in something she loves, and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book, which has proven to be a ton of fun.”

After hearing Burke’s story, Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more signed books. Besides, people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts. For Burke, this experience, far more than gifts, will be what he treasures.

1.Why did Burke thank J. K. Rowling according to the passage?

A.She guided him how to write a good story.

B.She encouraged him when he was in trouble.

C.Her books helped him improve his bond with his daughter.

D.Her books helped him through times of confusion.

2.What is implied in Burke’s words in Paragraph 4?

A.He has found it interesting to read the series.

B.He was too old to understand the series better.

C.He has chosen a better way of reading the series.

D.He hopes to play a role in the drama in the future.

3.Which word can best describe Burke’s experience according to the passage?

A.Ridiculous. B.Precious.

C.Abnormal. D.Unbelievable.

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

A.J. K. Rowling chooses to help people through times of depression.

B.Burke comes to know J. K. Rowling through her series.

C.J. K. Rowling has a deep influence on others’ growth.

D.J.K. Rowling gives a magical gift to a single father.

Signs of Eating Disorder

About 30 million Americans live with an eating disorder. 1. Yet many others are often hidden in plain sight. It’s important to know the symptoms in those who might be at risk for an eating disorder.

They’re constantly talking about dieting.

The discussion around changing eating habits is incredibly common. Look at any lifestyle magazine or website and you’ll likely find dieting tips and advice. 2. If someone you love is constantly talking about food or their dieting habits, it might be a sign of concern.

3.

Changes in mood or behaviors surrounding food or exercise can be signs of concern. This could mean a switch in activity level like overexercising, too often counting calories, frequently visiting the bathroom after eating, fasting or eating too much. 4.

They’re constantly turning down food-centric social gatherings.

Avoiding social interactions such as birthday parties or going out to dinner with friends is a significant danger signal. People living with the condition have an intense focus on food or body image. They will keep away from situations likely ones that once brought them joy—where that determination might be tested.

The best way to support someone who may be experiencing an eating disorder is by talking with them, but when and how you do it matters. 5. Approach them with love and compassion, let them know that you care about them and that you notice that there is something they may be struggling with.

A. This also might come with a noticeable weight loss or gain.

B. However, being trapped in that discussion is a different story.

C. Their fitness or eating habits are constantly out of the ordinary.

D. Mood changes associated with eating may also be a danger signal.

E. It should be away from the normal routine and outside of a meal time.

F. Some symptoms of an eating disorder may be more visible to the eyes.

G. Eating disorders are a group of conditions marked by an unhealthy relationship with food.

    How people read facial expressions of others says a lot about their cultural practices, a new study suggests.

In the study, about 80 Japanese and American student participants viewed a series of images (图像), each of which consisted of one center model and four background models. The researchers manipulated (操纵) the facial expression (happy, angry, sad) of the center or background models and asked the participants to determine the emotion (情绪) of the center figure.

The majority of Japanese participants (72%) reported that their judgments of the center persons emotions were influenced by the emotions of the background figures, while the same percentage of western participants reported they were not influenced by the background figures.

“What we found is quite interesting,” says Takahiko Masuda, a psychology professor from the University of Alberta. “Our results show that when Americans are trying to figure out how a person is feeling, they selectively focus on that particular person’s facial expression, while Japanese consider the emotions of the other people in the situation.”

“This may be because Japanese attention is not concentrated on the individual, but includes everyone in the group,” says Masuda.

In another round of image-viewing, researchers monitored the eye movements of the participants and again the results indicated that the Japanese looked at the surrounding people more than the westerners when judging the situation.

While both the Japanese and westerners looked to the central figure during the first second of viewing the photo, the Japanese looked to the background figures at the very next second, while westerners continued to focus on the central figure.

“East Asians seem to see people in terms of the relationships to others,” says Masuda. People raised in the western culture tend to separate a person from their surroundings, while East Asians are accustomed to “kuuki wo yomu”, which literally translates to “reading the air” of a situation. “As a result, they think that even surrounding people’s facial expressions are an informative source to understand the particular person’s emotion,” says Masuda.

1.Why were there background models in the study?

A.To show the participants various facial expressions.

B.To let the participants figure out their emotions.

C.To see whether they would influence the center model.

D.To see whether they would influence the participants’ judgments.

2.In the image-viewing process, the westerners ________ than the Japanese.

A.spent more time looking at the background models

B.spent less time looking at the background models

C.determined the emotion of the center model more quickly

D.determined the emotion of the background models more slowly

3.“Kuuki wo yomu” in the last paragraph indicates ________.

A.dealing with a situation

B.reading facial expressions

C.looking at the surroundings

D.knowing the surrounding people

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Facial Expressions Show Emotions

B.Culture Affects How We Read Faces

C.Team Work Strengthens Relationship

D.Cultural Differences Determine How We Feel

    Being able to take advantage of truly unlimited data is a smartphone user's dream, but everyone I've talked to about 5G is more excited about the usage unlocked by next - generation wireless devices. From smart home security to self - driving cars, all the Internet - connected equipment in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning - fast speed with reduced delay.

"5 G is one of those forerunners, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age, ” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. "Self - driving vehicles are emblematic in this data age - they show application of data completely. With one single task, driving, you have large amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors (传感器)are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It's pulling in data from other vehicles about conditions down the road. There's lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the speed and lower latency ((延迟).

AR glasses and virtual (虚拟的)reality headphones haven't yet been inside the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully saying that such equipment will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to improve - or even replace - smartphones.

Ericsson showed at February's Mobile World Congress in 2019 how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on outside equipment for processing power.

But don't get too excited. There's still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including some necessary testing to make sure the radio plays nicely with basic systems and service construction so that 5G isn, t concentrated only in big cities.

1.What does the first paragraph focus on?

A.Potential of 5G. B.The super speed of 5G.

C.Usage of smart equipment. D.The future of smart equipment.

2.Which word can replace  "emblematic"  underlined in paragraph 2?

A.available B.productive C.representative D.popular

3.What is tech companies"  attitude towards the replacement of smartphones?

A.Uncertain. B.Optimistic. C.Cautious. D.Disapproving.

4.Why does much work still need to be done according to the last paragraph?

A.To make radio play nicely. B.To construct big 5G cities.

C.To do 5G trials effectively. D.To expand 5G coverage fully.

    My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet-and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts.

Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man’s discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.

“She is being spiteful (恶意的) !” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”

Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who accompanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.

We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith-starting with just one person.

Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.

Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone else’s life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.

1.Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier?

A.The cashier called a manager to help her.

B.Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out.

C.There was something wrong with his discount card.

D.He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.

2.The underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A.changed B.increased

C.faded D.formed

3.The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because ________.

A.he thought the cashier might feel a little bit thirsty

B.he knew she had gone through much trouble recently

C.he wanted to restore the trust between her and the man

D.he wanted to comfort her after the terrible experience just now

4.The last paragraph in the passage is intended to ________.

A.add a warning B.make a suggestion

C.introduce a topic D.present an argument

I was a teaching assistant in a secondary school, that I gave support to students with low abilities. I had two lessons a week with 11 students. The school asked me to teach their basic Spanish. They seldom did any language at school due to their "problems" but often felt down. Therefore, I decided work on that.

In each lesson I allow them several minutes to write the positive note to a classmate to be stuck in their books, such as “You’re the best”,“ Well done in your lesson”. Gradual, they learned to congratulate on each other. They started to show much interest than ever not only in Spanish but also in other subject.

    Robots have been taking our jobs since the 1960s. However, humans haven't become completely redundant (多余的) because these robots may be very efficient but they're also kind of stupid. 1.. They just act in very accurate but very limited ways. Humans are still needed to work around robots, doing the jobs the machines can't do and fixing them when they get stuck. But this is all set to change, thanks to a new wave of smarter and better value machines that can adapt to multiple(数量多的) tasks. 2..

The era(时代) of "Industry 4.0" is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the abilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low-cost and high-power computers, high-speed communication and artificial intelligence. 3.. They can adapt to different tasks, and even organize their work to meet demands without the input of humans.

4., they are still not as smart as us. Today’s industrial artificial intelligence operates at a narrow level, which gives the appearance of human intelligence exhibited by machines, but designed by humans.

5.. Similar to big data analysis, it processes large quantities of data in real time to make decisions about what is the best action to take. The difference is that the machine learns from the data so it can improve its decision-making. A perfect example of deep learning was presented by Googles AlphaGo software, which taught itself to beat the world's greatest Go(围棋) players.

A. They do not think

B. But there is still some way to go

C. While these machines are getting smarter

D. What's coming next is known as "deep learning"

E. It comes down to the question of what a robot really is

F. This change will be so significant that it will create a new industrial revolution.

G. This will produce smart robots with better sensing and communication abilities.

    Learning a second language is tricky at any age. Now, in a new study, scientists have worked out the exact age at which your chances of reaching fluency in a second language seem to drop: 10.

The study, published in the journal Cognition, found that it's nearly impossible for language learners to reach native-level fluency if they start learning a second tongue after age 10. But that's not because language skills start to go downhill. "It turns out you're still learning fast, "says study co-author Joshua Hartshorne, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College. "It's just that you run out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18 years old. People who start a few years after age 10 may still become quite good at a language," the authors say, "but they are unlikely to become fluent." Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Children's brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they're better able to adapt and respond to new information. "All learning involves the brain changing," Hartshorne says, "and children's brains seem to be a lot more skillful at changing. " Kids may also be more willing to try new things and to potentially look foolish in the process than adults are. Their comparatively new grasp on their native tongue may also be advantageous. Unlike adults, who tend to obey the rules and patterns of their first language, kids may be able to approach a new one with a blank page.

These findings might seem discouraging, but it was heartening for scientists to learn that  the critical(关键的) period for fluent language acquisition might be longer than previously thought. Some scientists believed that the window began to close shortly after birth, while others extended it to early adolescence. Compared with those estimates (评估), age 17 or 18 — when language-learning ability starts to drop off—may seem relatively old.

1.What is the best period to learn a second language?

A.Before ten. B.Early adolescence. C.Age fifteen. D.Age seventeen or eighteen.

2.When it comes to new things, what does the writer think of kids compared with adults?

A.They're less skillful. B.They're less interested.

C.They're more flexible. D.They're more stubborn.

3.What does the underlined word "window" in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Interest. B.Chance. C.Confidence. D.Motivation.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.It's Never Too late to Learn a Second Language.

B.It Takes Time to Be Good at a Second Language.

C.Do We Really Need to Learn Foreign Languages?

D.Why Kids Learn Languages More Easily than Adults.

    The moon and its possible influence over human behaviors have been objects of tales for centuries. Although the full moon can't turn people into werewolves (狼人), some people do blame it for causing a bad night's sleep or discomfort.

To find out if lunar phases (月相) affected humans, an international group of researchers studied children to see if their sleeping patterns changed or if there were any differences in their daily activities. The research studied a total of 5, 812 children from five continents. Data collection took place over 28 months, which is the same as the number of lunar cycles. These were then divided into three lunar phases: full moon, half-moon and new moon.

The findings of the study indicated that in general, sleep duration around full moon reported an average decrease of five minutes compared to new moon. “Our study provides evidence that the moon doesn't seem to influence people's behaviors,” said Dr. Jean-Philippe Chaput from the Eastern Ontario Research Institute. The only significant finding was one percent sleep decrease in full moon. However, sleeping for five minutes less time during a full moon is not a danger to health. “Our behaviors are largely influenced by many other factors like genes, education and income,” he added.

“Folk tales and even certain examples suggest that behaviors of humans and animals are affected by lunar phases,” Dr. Chaput explained. “Whether there is science behind it or not, the moon secret will continue to attract human civilizations in the years to come.”

1.Where does the moon's bad influence on human behaviors usually come from?

A.Tales. B.Textbooks. C.News reports. D.Scientific papers.

2.Why did the research last 28 months ?

A.To attract more attention. B.To cover the lunar cycles.

C.To look into more children. D.To collect as much data as possible.

3.What can be concluded from the findings ?

A.We should go to bed five minutes earlier during a full moon.

B.The moon is a major cause to affect our sleep and behaviors.

C.We shouldn't worry about the moon's influence over health.

D.The moon plays a significant role in children's sleeping patterns.

4.How does Dr. Chaput feel about the topic of the moon influence?

A.It's boring. B.It's worrying C.It's frightening . D.It's interesting.
