We've heard of robots and AI(Artificial Intelligence) taking human jobs, but I bet mayors(市长) don't really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.

    AI can't legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign (竞选运动) as “AI Mayor”. Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.

    “For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election,” human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced on Twitter. “Artificial Intelligence will change Tama City. With the birth of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics.”

    The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out(大声鸣响) promises of an AI utopia (乌托邦) and asking for support.

    Some people called Michihito Matsuda's campaign a stunt(噱头), as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better choice.

4. What's the advantage of the AI mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?

A. Maximizing the use of AI.  

B. Replacing human officials.

C. Creating balanced policies. 

D. Bringing him beneficial effects.

5. How will AI run for the mayor?

A. It will abolish many old policies.

B. It will ask for support on the Internet.

C. It will make public speeches, dressed like a human.

D. It will compete similarly to human competitors.

6. What's the citizens' attitude toward Michihito Matsuda's campaign?

A. They believe AI will win.

B. All consider it to be tricky.

C. It is supposed to be a failure definitely.

D. Some think it's worthy of expectation.

7. What is the best title for the passage?

A. AI Runs for the Mayor

B. The Advantages of AI.

C. AI Replaces Human in Management.

D. The Patterns of AI Management.

C

    University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.

    The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access social media. “We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life.” Hunt said.

    The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.

    The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness. “Using less social media than you normally do would lead to  significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” Hunt said.

    Social media invites what Hunt calls “downward social comparison.” “When you're online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you're left out,” Hunt said. And that's just generally discouraging. “Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.” And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added.

    “People are on their devices, and that's not going to change,” she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way.

8. Before the study was conducted, the participants completed a survey to____.

    A. imitate people's real life               B. show their use of social media  

    C. link loneliness to depression               D. prove social media is important

9. The results of the study showed using less social media would result in____.

   A. people's fear of missing out                     B. higher levels of depression

   C. obvious relief in loneliness                     D. lower levels of happiness

10. In Hunt's opinion, which activity is more beneficial to mental health?

   A. Hiking out with friends.               B. Making comparison with others.

   C. Playing computer games in spare time.   D. Logging onto social media and having fun.

11. Which can be the best title of the passage?

    A. A Study on Social Media.             B. How to Improve Mental Health.

C. People Addicted to Social Media.       D. Social Media Influences Mental Health.

D

  It is widely believed that smiling means a person is happy, and it usually occurs when they're meeting another person or a group of people. However, a new study led by body language expert Dr. Harry Witchel shows this isn't always the case.

    In his research, he asked 44 participants aged 18-35 to play a geography quiz game consisting of nine difficult questions so that they often got the answer wrong. Seated participants interacted with a computer alone in a room while their faces were video recorded.

    After the quiz, the participants were asked to rate their experience using a range of 12 emotions including “bored”, “interested” and “frustrated”. Meanwhile, their facial expressions were then computer analysed frame by frame in order to judge how much they were smiling based on a scale of between 0 to 1.

    Dr. Witchel said, “According to some researchers, a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness or amusement. However, Behavioral Ecology Theory suggests that all smiles are tools used in social interactions; that theory claims that cheerfulness is neither necessary nor sufficient for smiling. Our study showed that in these Human-Computer Interaction experiments, smiling isn't driven by happiness; it is associated with subjective engagement（主观参与) ,  which acts like a social fuel for smiling, even when socialising with a computer on your own.”

    Surprisingly, participants didn't tend to smile during the period when they were trying to figure out the answers. However, they did smile right after the computer game informed them if their answer was correct or wrong. Participants smiled more often when they got the answer wrong. Dr. Witchel added, “During these computerised quizzes, smiling was greatly increased just after answering questions incorrectly. This behaviour could be explained by self-ratings of engagement, rather than by ratings of happiness or frustration.”

 12. Why did Dr. Witchel use difficult questions in the quiz game? 

      A. To make it hard for participants to answer them correctly.

      B. To make the answer period last as long as possible.

      C. To discover the most intelligent participants.

      D. To create a stressful situation for participants deliberately.

 13. What can we infer from what Dr. Witchel said in Paragraph 4?

      A. Other researchers' opinion of a real smile is quite right.

      B. Smiles aren't necessarily useful tools in social interactions.

      C. Subjective engagement doesn't motivate smiling in social interactions.

      D. Witchel's study finding is consistent with Behavioral Ecology Theory.

 14. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

      A. Participants were asked to interact with each other in the quiz.

      B. Participants in the quiz smiled less often when they got the answer wrong.

      C. In Dr. Witchel's opinion, smiling is connected with subjective involvement.

      D. Dr. Witchel thinks that a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness.

  15. What can be a suitable title for the text?

       A. What Contributes to Real Happiness?

       B. How to Identify Whether a Person Is Really Happy?

       C. Smiling Doesn't Necessarily Mean Happiness

       D. People Generally Hold a Wrong View on Happiness

 Your teacher hands back a test and you did poorly. At this moment, you wish you could hide from the world.   16   But according to a research. what’s more important is how you react in the long term. Scientists say students can be divided into two groups. The first, called “mastery-oriented learners” view poor results as challenges to do better in the future. The second, called “helpless learners” will respond just by giving up.

        17  But surprisingly, this attitude is even more important than a student’s natural intelligence. However smart, eventually you’ll come across a question you cannot answer. When you do, it’s important not to fall victim to helplessness. Learned helplessness was first discovered in an experiment where some dogs were subjected to electrical shocks they couldn’t escape from. Later, their feeling of helplessness was so strong that they made no attempt to escape even when they could.

      So what makes you a different learner?  18   Mastery-oriented learners believe hard work is the key to success. Faced with failure, they simply conclude they need to try harder. However, helpless learners believe intelligence is inborn.  19  Thus, when they have difficulties, they conclude they are not smart enough and that improving on their intelligence isn’t possible.

      If you want to be a mastery-oriented person, you can.   20   If you think you can do better, keep trying and the results will surely follow.

1. Start by not letting negative results discourage you.   

  B. It’s a feeling many students are familiar with.

      C. It all comes down to your idea of intelligence.

      D. That’s because you should have worked hard.

      E. Whether you’re intelligent, ambition counts.

      F. To them, success in school seems to rely on natural talent and ability.

      G. As you would expect, the first group performs better than the second.

People with colour blindness can't see colours in a normal way. Colour blindness   36   (affect) approximately 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women in the world.

      There are various causes of colour blindness. For the   37  (major) of colour-blind people, the condition is something they have from birth, although some people get it later in life  because of diseases.

       Most colour-blind people can see things as clearly as other people, but   38  are unable to fully “see” red, green or blue light. There are different types of colour blindness and there are extremely rare cases   39   people are unable to see any colour at all. The   40  (common) form of colour blindness is red/green colour blindness. Although   41  (know) as red/green colour blindness, the form of colour blindness doesn't mean sufferers   42  (mere) mix up red and green. It means they mix up all   43  (colour) that have some red or green as part of the whole colour.

     The effects   44  colour blindness can be mild, moderate(中等的) or severe.  Approximately 40% of colour-blind people are even unaware that they're colour-blind. Statistically   45  (speak), most people with a moderate form of red/green colour blindness can only identify 5 coloured pencils from a standard box of 24 pencil crayons.

It was four years since we had talked to each other. Sometimes his memories haunted（萦绕） me and pushed me towards him. “What will he be doing? Does he still remember our friendship? He may be married now, should I call him? Will he be able to recognise me? He must be busy with his own priorities now.”

I could not hold these feelings and that day I just called him on his previous number. Yes, his number was still fresh in my memories. I called him, knowing that someone else might pick up the call, so I was prepared to tackle the situation cautiously.

It rang, but no one answered the call. Three days on end, I dialed the number, and still no one was there on the other end of the line. Thinking that I would never get in touch with him again, I was overcome with great disappointment. I decided to give up, but make a final attempt many days later. I picked up my phone, dialed the number and waited. It rang and an old lady’s voice came from the other side. I asked, “Can I speak with Mr. Hally?” and from the other side, “May I know who is on the line?” I replied, “I am calling from a recruitment agency and there is a job opportunity for him, can I now talk to him or if you can tell me his personal number?” She replied, “Yes, note down his number, it is…”

I was sure that it was Aunty Ji. I did not have the courage to introduce myself to her. On the other side, I was hopeful. Thank god, I got his new number. Shall I call him on this number? I was thinking, waiting, and trying to figure out what to do and what not. “It is 23rd February, his birthday. I shall not miss the chance.”

Paragraph 1

I dialed the number and the bell rang, but he did not pick.

Paragraph 2

    I told him my name and unexpectedly there was a surprise in his voice, saying “Hi, how are you?”
