As we knw, Benjamin Franklin made grundbreaking discveries in the field f electrnics. He invented bth battery (the wrd) and batteries (the thing) and came up with the cncept f “psitive” and “negative” charges. But this cmes secnd t Franklin’s true electrical vcatin: practical jkes.
Picture the scene: It’s summer 1749 and yu’ve been invited t a party at yur gd pal Ben’s huse. Yu sit dwn, pick up yur wine glass t take a sip ... and are hit with an electric shck straight t the muth. This was a typical risk f being friends with Benjamin Franklin. Nt nly did his guests put up with electrified wine glasses, but they were als frightened by dancing spiders made frm wd and string, and invited t send sparks f electricity between ne anther thrugh air kisses.
The father f electricity first encuntered its wnders after witnessing an experiment-slash-vaudeville shw in 1743, and was electrified by the experience, t say the least. “I never was befre engaged in any study that s ttally engrssed my attentin and my time as this,” he wrte t fellw electrician Peter Cllinsn.
Cllinsn had just sent Franklin an exciting gift: a Leyden jar. Physicists had been able t generate electricity. But the Leyden jar allwed them t stre and use it n demand. It wuld take nearly 7 trillin jars t stre the amunt f electricity in a single AA battery tday. But fr physicists f the time, a whle new wrld f experiments had pened up. Exactly what thse experiments were, Franklin left t the imaginatin.

A grwing number f psychlgists are getting ut the message that anxiety has a psitive rle t play in ur lives. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, wh recently published Future Tense: Why Anxiety Is Gd fr Yu (Even Thugh It Feels Bad), thinks ur culture ges t far in demnizing(妖魔化)the difficult emtin.
Psychlgist Tdd Kashdan, directr f the Well-Being Lab at Gerge Masn University in Virginia, is a critic f what he calls happylgy. We dn’t always have t be smiley and calm, r wrry there’s smething wrng with us. Smetimes, he says, wrry itself is what is right. Fear f heights? Gd, because yu’re nt ging t be the persn wh falls ff a cliff while taking a selfie.
These experts wnder if the natural rle that anxiety plays in ur lives is smehw being frgtten. Fr example, the Wrld Health Organizatin (WHO) annunced in March 2022 that the prevalence f anxiety had increased glbally by 25% ver the previus year. The WHO called the finding “a wake-up call t all cuntries t step up mental health services and supprt”. D we knw fr certain that this data represents a public health crisis? Or culd it mean that millins f flks are quite rightly feeling uncertain, stressed ut and afraid?
We can experience healthy, ften cmpletely valid perids f anxiety withut being categrized as mentally ill, accrding t behaviral psychlgists. Anxiety is an adaptive strategy in human evlutin. It helps us t prepare fr the uncertain future. Anxiety helps us slve unknwns by planning and imagining, by pltting ut pssible ways.
Accrding t Alice Byes, wh has a PhD in clinical psychlgy, cping with anxiety by aviding them just reinfrces yur insecurity, because yu’re nt getting better at slving the prblem. “Over time, yu will feel less and less capable,” she warns.
The key is t manage anxiety befre it vertakes us, like tending a garden s the weeds dn’t spread. Hw d yu d that? Slutins include meditatin, exercise, cmpassinate cnnectin such as vlunteering, access t nature and mentally reframing what we’re experiencing.
28. Which statement is Kashdan’s pinin?
A. Fear may prevent yu frm taking dangerus actins.
B. Happylgy is quite ppular amng the yung nwadays.
C. Being smiley can stp us frm wrrying smething wrng.
D. Difficult emtins such as anxiety shuld nt be demnized.
29. What is the authr’s attitude tward WHO’s annuncement?
A. Unclear.B. Disapprving.C. Objective.D. Psitive.
30. What des the underlined wrd “reinfrces” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Resists.B. Increases.C. Adjusts.D. Reveals.
31. What is the best title f the text?
A. The upside f anxiety.B. The key t manage anxiety.
C. The rigin f difficult emtins.D. The right attitude t negative emtins.

Generative A.I., the sftware engine behind ChatGPT, is seen as an exciting new wave f technlgy. But cmpanies in every industry are mainly trying ut the technlgy and thinking thrugh the ecnmics. Widespread use f it at many cmpanies culd be years away.
Generative A.I., accrding t frecasts, culd sharply bst prductivity and add trillins f dllars t the glbal ecnmy. Yet the lessn f histry, frm steam pwer t the Internet, is that there is a lng lag between the arrival f majr new technlgy and its brad adptin—which is what transfrms industries and helps fuel the ecnmy.
The investment craze is ging n right nw. In the first half f 2023, funding fr generative A.I. start-ups reached $15.3 billin, nearly three times the ttal fr last year. Cmpany technlgy managers are sampling generative A.I. sftware frm a hst f suppliers and watching t see hw the industry develps.
In Nvember, when ChatGPT was made available t the public, it was a “Netscape mment” fr generative A.I., said Rb Thmas, IBM’s chief cmmercial fficer, referring t Netscape’s intrductin f the brwser in 1994. “That brught the Internet alive,” Mr. Thmas said. But it was just a beginning, pening a dr t new business pprtunities that it tk years t create.
In a recent reprt, a timeline fr the widespread adptin f generative A.I. applicatin was presented. It assumed steady imprvement in currently knwn technlgy, but nt future break-thrughs. Its frecast fr main-stream adptin was neither shrt nr precise, a range f 8 t 27 years. The brad range is explained by plugging in different assumptins abut ecnmic cycles, gvernment regulatin, cmpany cultures and management decisins. “We’re nt mdeling the laws f physics here; we’re mdeling ecnmics and scieties, and peple and cmpanies,” said Michael Chui, a partner at the McKinsey Glbal Institute. “What happens is largely the result f human chices.”
32. Hw are the cmpanies reacting after the intrductin f generative A.I.?
A. Adpting the new technlgy widely.B. Making a high prfit frm the technlgy.
C. Staying cautius abut the new technlgy.D. Pstpning generative A.I.’s wide adptin.
33. What will transfrm industries?
A. The arrival f majr new technlgy.B. The brad adptin f new technlgy.
C. The lag between the majr technlgies.D. The inventin f steam pwer in histry.
34. What is the purpse f writing paragraph 4?
A. T shw the Internet came alive in the 1990s.
B. T mentin A.I. has brught imprtant benefits.
C. T explain the present situatin is just a beginning.
D. T prve the new business pprtunities are enrmus.
35. What d we learn abut the wide adptin f generative A.I.?
A. It needs steady imprvement instead f break-thrughs.
B. It shuld mdel the laws f physics and ecnmics.
C. It will be widely adpted in ver 3 decades.
D. It is influenced mstly by human factrs.

Being a gd friend isn’t always easy. Nevertheless, taking the time t develp a lasting friendship is wrth every unce f effrt. 36 Here are a few things yu can d t be a gd friend t thers.
Make time fr each ther
37 The mark f a gd friend is smene wh makes time fr yu and makes spending time with yu a pririty. A gd friend will als lk fr pprtunities t maximize the time yu have tgether by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain yur bnd.
Open up and allw each ther t be vulnerable
A gd friend is smene genuine, smene with whm yu can be yurself and they can be themselves arund yu. A gd friend allws yu t be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning yu can expse yur emtins and circumstances with each ther and trust ne anther t listen, be supprtive, and have each ther’s best interests at heart. 38 If yur friend hurt yu, dn’t be afraid t talk abut it.
39
It is ne f the mst imprtant aspects f being a gd friend. Yur friend will need yu fr supprt, especially in hard times. Nbdy wants t be friends with smene wh actually isn’t interested in them. It’s hard t rely n a persn wh desn’t behave in a trustwrthy way. We all knw well-intentined peple wh say, “Okay, I will...” but never fllw thrugh. If that’s yu, be aware that yu’re destrying yur friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stp believing what yu say.
Aplgize when yu’ve made a mistake.
If yu want yur friends t trust yu, then yu can’t act like yu’re perfect. If yu knw yu’ve made a mistake, wn up t it instead f denying. Thugh yur friends wn’t be happy that yu made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that yu’re mature enugh t admit it instead f just pretending that nthing is wrng, r wrse—blaming it n smene else. 40 Let yur friends hear the sincerity in yur vice.
A. Be dependable.
B. Be a gd listener.
C. When yu d s, yu shuld mean it.
D. A gd friend is willing t stick their neck ut n behalf f their friends.
E. It will cntribute t direct lines f cmmunicatin between bth f yu.
F. Friendships grw thrugh shared experiences and quality time tgether.
G. Because gd friendships prvide a sense f belnging and security, knwing yu are lved.

Everything changed during my secnd year f high schl. A sudden strke (中风)left my dad with severe physical and neurlgical deficits. He was unable t mve the right side f his bdy. But the mst serius prblem, amidst s many thers, was his lss f speech.

I fund myself ging thrugh embarrassment whenever we were in public. My father wuld wave his cane like a weapn and shut incherent yet harmless phrases at passersby. It upset me.

One afternn, I came hme t find my dad watching an ld vide. It was a vide f my father and me playing tennis. What used t be such a simple pleasure was nw impssible. We watched in silence until I culdn’t hld my grief any lnger. I fund myself shaking and crying. At any time, he culd have anther strke. There was n prmise f tmrrw. I felt vercme by fear, bth fr my family and fr my father.
Father’s lips mved while he watched me cry. He clearly wanted t say smething, but was pwerless. I wndered what he wanted t say t inspire me t face up t the darkness we were ging thrugh.
I finally fund my answer when ne day I tk my dad t the park, rwing a bat as we did a few times befre. “Yu …and… me!” he managed t say.

Shcked, I wanted t hear mre. Seized by eagerness and excitement, I leaned frward, inclining my ear t his lips. But there was a lng silence. I tried t pretend nt t be waiting thugh I knew Dad was struggling fr his vice. We flated n the water, eyes fixed n the setting sun. Just after the sky put ut its last flicker f pink, my dad lked at me with a familiar expressin. “Life… gd.” The wrds came in a mumble, but I gt them. Maybe because f his bright smile, r a rush f warm air, in that precius mment, I understd exactly what he meant.
“Yes. Life is gd.” I whispered back, cmpleting it fr him. That was what he wuld always say befre his strke. Nw Dad injected true meaning int the three simple wrds by refusing t let his sickness vershadw ur life. I culdn’t imagine hw tirelessly he had wrked t recver what he had lst r t regain a fair amunt f his speech. I culd cmprehend nw he had always been trying t inspire me t mve frward in the face f the darkest times.
