One ld-schl gardening belief is that it is inadvisable ——even risky —t have plants in the bedrm. This centers arund the claim that while plants take in carbn dixide and release xygen in the day, at night this is reversed(相反), s they cmpete with us fr the very air we breathe while asleep.
Indr air quality is indeed affected by CO₂ buildup, which has prven health implicatins, prviding a clear basis fr cncern. Hwever, assessing whether sharing ur bedrm with plants truly jepardizes ur health invlves three key cnsideratins.
Firstly, hw much CO₂ d plants release at night cmpared with what they absrb in the day?This prves cmplex due t varying factrs like species, light expsure, and rm temperature and the research n the precise measurements is pretty thin n the grund. Thankfully, a 2015 study fund that sizeable huseplants enclsed in glass bxes manage t absrb six t eight times as much CO₂ in the day as they give ff at night, creating a pretty significant net reductin ver a24-hur perid.
Secndly, it's essential t cmpare the nighttime impact f plants n air quality with that f ther ptential cmpetitrs, such as yur rmmates. A single human breath cntains rughly40,000 ppm f CO₂, ver 10 times the effect a plant culd have in 8 hurs. Cnsequently, it might be wiser t kick ut yur rmmates befre yur plants.
Finally, and this may seem apparent, ur living spaces differ frm the cntrlled envirnments in research studies. Indr air is cnstantly being exchanged naturally thrugh penings like drs and windws, and human mvement. A recent review suggests that reprducing the air-refreshing impact f an pen windw wuld require between 100 and 1000 plants per square meter f flr space, cnsidering plants' pllutin-remving abilities.
S enjy huseplants whenever yu like, because, frankly, if sleeping near plants were bad fr yur health, camping in a frest wuld be psitively deadly.
28. What des the underlined wrd in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Threatens. B. Changes. C. Imprves. D. Suspends.
29. What des the authr think f having plants in the bedrm?
A. It is a health risk that requires immediate actin.
B. It is a dangerus practice that shuld be avided.
C. It is nt as cncerning as believed and can be enjyed...
D. It is beneficial nly if prper air exchanging is ensured.
30. Hw des the writer illustrate the nighttime impact f bedrm plants?
A. By citing examples. B. By giving definitins.
C. By quting researches. D. By making cmparisns.
31. Why des the writer mentin camping in a frest at the end f the passage?
A. T highlight the risks f sleeping utdrs.
B. T suggest that sleeping near plants is dangerus.
C. T prmte frest camping as a healthy alternative.
D. T emphasize the safety f having plants in the bedrm.

There are many things that technlgy can d well when it cmes t mnitring bdy language. Artificial intelligence (Al) can detect the slightest micr-expressin smething that even highly trained experts dn't always catch, and can tell the difference between a genuine smile and a fake ne. But, when it cmes t interpreting the subtle(细微的) differences f bdy language, technlgy has a lng way t g.
One f the primary challenges Al faces in understanding bdy language lies in the cmplexity f human cmmunicatin. Bdy language is nt gverned by strict rules r fixed patterns; it is heavily influenced by cntext, culture, and individual differences, making it difficult fr AI t deal with such cmplicated situatin. A simple nd can cnvey agreement r encuragement in ne setting, but it might indicate impatience r disapprval in anther, which can nly be picked up by an experienced bserver.
There's als a prblem because AI lacks the emtinal intelligence and empathy that are unique t humans. Human beings interpret emtins nt nly by bserving bdy language but als by drawing n their persnal experiences, inbrn empathy, and basic understanding f human psychlgy. Al, n the ther hand, can nly analyze data and recgnize specific patterns assciated with emtins, as it lacks the underlying emtinal cmprehensin that is essential fr a deeper understanding f bdy language.
Bdy language cmprises a cmplicated web f nnverbal clues, such as facial expressins, gestures, psture, eye cntact, and tuch. As technlgy advances and research prgresses, AI may becme mre skillful at detecting bdy language signals, but it is unlikely t btain the necessary depth f human perceptin and emtinal cmprehensin in the freseeable future. Meanwhile, understanding and respnding t nnverbal cmmunicatin will cntinue t rely primarily n the human brain, which has been “wired” t read bdy language frm the time human began cmmunicating with ne anther.
32. In what way is AI better than human, accrding t the passage?
A. Nticing the subtle facial expressins. B. Understanding micr-expressins.
C. Interpreting bdy language. D. Distinguishing feelings and attitudes.
33. What is the key factr in humans' understanding bdy language?
A. Cultural cmmunicatin. B. Persnal cnnectins.
C. Understanding signals. D. Emtinal cmprehensin.
34. What will happen in the freseeable future?
A. AI will finally understand bdy language as deeply as humans.
B. AI will d better in detecting bdy language signals than humans.
C. AI cannt replace humans in reading and reacting t bdy language.
D. AI may becme mre autmatic with the develpment f technlgy.
35. Which can be the best title f the passage?
A. Hw AI cmprehends Bdy Language
B. Why AI Can't Read Bdy Language Yet
C. Wh Is Better at Reading Bdy Language.
D. Hw Humans Respnd t Bdy Language
