Walking and Using a Phne is Bad fr Yur Health
Spend time n any crwded sidewalk and yu’ll see heads bent ver and eyes cast dwnward. One recent study f cllege students fund that a quarter f peple crssing intersectins __21__ (absrb) in a device. That screen in yur hand isn’t just distracting yur attentin. It als changes yur md, yur manner f walking and etc. — and affects yur ability t get frm pint A t pint B __22__ running int truble.
When yu walk and use a phne at the same time, yu autmatically adjust __23__ yu mve. Vide ftage f walkers has shwn that peple n phnes walk abut 10 percent slwer than thse undistracted nes. These changes can blck traffic n the sidewalk. And __24__ walking makes up a big prtin f yur daily physical activity, walking mre slwly may have impacts fr yur fitness.
Lking dwn at a smartphne while walking can als increase the amunt f frce __25__ (place) n the neck and upper back muscles, which culd reduce balance and increase the risk f falls.
It’s nw widely accepted that walking in natural spaces is gd fr yur mental health. It appears that __26__ (get) these benefits, it’s imprtant that yur attentin is n the envirnment, rather than n yur phne.
Mst f us understand that walking and using a phne can be risky. Sme cities, like Hnlulu, __27__ (pass) laws t cntrl distracted walkers. But research n thse dangers has turned up sme surprises. One study has lked at the cnnectin between “phne-related distracted walking” and emergency department visits. Using gvernment data __28__ (extend) ver the years 2011 t 2019, the researchers turned up nearly 30,000 walking injuries ccasined by phnes.
If yu’re distracted by a phne, yu’re definitely putting __29__ at sme risk. S hw d yu stay safe? If yu d walk and use yur device at the same time, stp when yu’re arund stairs, crsswalks and messy r uneven grund, __30__ accidents are mre likely t ccur.

OpenAI Unveils A.I. that Instantly Generates Eye-Ppping Vides
Last April, a New Yrk start-up called Runway AI revealed technlgy that let peple generate vides. The fur-secnd vides were shadwy and disturbing. But they were a clear sign that artificial intelligence technlgies wuld generate increasingly __31__ vides sner. Just 10 mnths later, OpenAI has revealed a similar system, Sra, that creates vides that lk as if they were lifted frm a Hllywd mvie.
OpenAI is amng the many cmpanies __32__ t imprve this kind f instant vide generatr. The technlgy culd __33__ the wrk f experienced mviemakers. It culd als becme a quick and inexpensive way f creating nline __34__, making it even harder t tell what’s real n the internet.
In an interview, the team behind the technlgy said the cmpany was nt yet releasing Sra t the public because it was still wrking t understand the system’s __35__. The intentin here is t give a(n) __36__ f what is likely t happen sn, s that peple can see the capabilities f this technlgy.
Like ther generative A.I. technlgies, OpenAI’s system learns by analyzing digital data — in this case, vides and subtitles describing what thse vides cntain. OpenAI declined t say hw many vides the system learned frm r where they came frm, except t say the training included bth __37__ available vides and vides that were licensed frm hlders. The cmpany says little abut the data used t train its technlgies, mst likely because it wants t __38__ an advantage ver cmpetitrs.
Sra generates vides in __39__ t shrt descriptins. Thugh the vides can be impressive, they may include strange and __40__ images. The system, fr example, recently generated a vide f smene eating a ckie — but the ckie never gt any smaller.
III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passages there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
My father decided t start learning French when he was 57. On the surface, his retirement hbby seems a little randm — ur family has n cnnectin t French-speaking cuntries — but his __41__ ran deeper than a passin fr cakes. My grandmther develped signs f Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症) in her early 70s, and studies suggest that being bilingual, that is, being able t speak tw languages equally well, can __42__ the start f the cnditin by up t five years. Drawn by that __43__ benefit, many peple have attempted t pick up a new language in adulthd.
Lts f activities are linked t better brain health in ld age, like getting mre educatin when yu’re yunger and physical activity. Experts say regularly speaking multiple languages may be especially __44__ thugh. “We use language in all aspects f daily life, s a bilingual brain is __45__ wrking,” said Mark Antniu, a prfessr at Western Sydney University wh specializes in bilingualism.
The age at which yu learn anther language appears t be less imprtant than hw __46__ yu speak it. The cgnitive (认知的) benefit is frm having t __47__ yur mther tngue, which yur brain is frced t d if yu’re trying t recall the right wrds in anther language. S if the secnd language is used a lt, yu’re getting that cgnitive __48__. That prcess is called cgnitive inhibitin. In thery, by imprving these types f prcesses, the brain becmes strnger t the __49__ caused by diseases like dementia. The strnger yur mental pwer, the thinking ges, the lnger yu can functin nrmally, even if yur brain health starts t __50__.
Hwever, evidence fr the benefits f learning a secnd language as a hbby in yur 60s is __51__. Research by Dr. Antniu and clleagues fund that while Chinese adults 60 and up imprved n cgnitin tests after a six-mnth language learning prgram, peple wh played games like Sudku did as well. Tw mre recent studies n the tpic fund virtually n __52__ in cgnitive perfrmance after peple tk part in language-learning prgrams.
The scientists wh cnducted thse studies ffered a few ptential __53__. One is that the participants were highly mtivated vlunteers, wh may have already been at peak perfrmance fr their age, making it hard t see any __54__. Anther is that the language interventins were perhaps t shrt. The handful f studies lking int the issue have used language lessns that were very different in their __55__ and frequency. Sme studies taught participants fr eight mnths, thers fr just ne very intense week.

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have read.
(A)
My sn, Ben, died when he was 23. The year after his death, I hiked 48 f the state’s tallest muntains in his memry. Every step, path and peak has been a way t restre.
Abut a mnth after his death, my husband and I hiked Carter Dme and Munt Hight, srrw weighing heavy in ur hearts and legs. Standing n the peak, I lked ut acrss the muntains my sn lved. Fr a mment, the heavy blw brught abut by Ben’s death faded int the timeless expanse, and I culd breathe.
The next weekend fund us n Munt Msilauke. Then Munt Cannn, Munt Flume, Munt Liberty and s n. It was a series f firsts, f struggles and vercming them — climbing at night, climbing slides and rcks, camping alne, finding paths and planning rutes.
Six days befre the anniversary f Ben’s death, I hiked my 48th and final peak: Munt Carrigain. As I std n the bservatin platfrm at the peak, I fund the essential truth I had been grasping t express fr mnths: The nly place that feels vast enugh t hld srrw this deep and wide is the tp f a muntain, lking ut int frever.
These days, I hike nt t hide, but t seek. I find Ben, but I als find myself: smene brken, nw braver and mre capable. The frced islatin f srrw becmes the welcme lneliness f the path; the peace f nature replaces the pain f lss. Hiking is bth exhausting and exciting, and it teaches us that srrw and jy can cexist.
But there’s anther, pssibly mre imprtant truth: A hike is nt the nly way t find the peace f the natural wrld; a simple walk alng a park path can have a similar effect. The internal jurney f srrw mixes with ur steps, and we find cmfrt alng the way.

B. it was the islatin f srrw that exhausted her
C. nly by vercming struggles culd ne survive
D. the peaks were prper places t remember smene
58.What des the writer imply in the last paragraph?
A. Walking wrks best fr thse in srrw. B. We can plan ur internal jurney as intended.
C. What cunts is t make peace with urselves.D. Peple tend t hike in parks t seek cmfrt.
59.Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A. The Heavy Steps That Led Me T PeaksB. The Muntains That Held My Srrw
C. The Jurneys That Frustrated Me D. The First Struggles That Empwered Me

In the past, jbs were abut muscles. Nw they’re abut brains, but in the future, they’ll be abut the heart. – Minuche Shafik, the president f Clumbia University
LinkedIn researchers recently lked at which skills any given jb requires and then identified ver 500 likely t be affected by generative A.I. technlgies. They then estimated that 96 percent f a sftware engineer’s current skills — mainly in prgramming languages — can eventually be pssessed by A.I. Skills assciated with jbs like legal assciates and finance fficers will als be highly expsed. In fact, given the brad impact A.I. is set t have, it is quite likely t affect all f ur wrk t sme degree r anther.
Circling arund this research is the big questin emerging acrss s many cnversatins abut A.I. and wrk, namely: What are ur cre capabilities as humans?
If we answer this questin frm a place f fear abut what’s left fr peple in the age f A.I., we can end up admitting a diminished view f human capability. Instead, it’s critical fr us all t start frm a place that imagines what’s pssible fr humans in the age f A.I. When we d that, we find urselves fcusing quickly n peple skills that allw us t cperate and innvate in ways technlgy can intensify but never replace.
A recent Jbs fr the Future survey fund that 78 percent f the 10 tp-emplying ccupatins classified uniquely human skills and tasks as “imprtant” r “very imprtant.” These, cmmnly referred t as sft skills, include building interpersnal relatinships, negtiating between parties and guiding and mtivating teams.
Nw is the time fr leaders, acrss departments, t develp new ways fr students t learn that are mre directly tied t where ur ecnmy is ging, nt where it has been. Critically, that invlves bringing the same level f preciseness t training arund peple skills that we have brught t technical skills.
Ultimately, fr ur sciety, this cmes dwn t whether we believe in the ptential f humans with as much belief as we believe in the ptential f A.I. If we d, it is entirely pssible t build a wrld f wrk that nt nly is mre human but als is a place where all peple are valued fr the unique skills we have, enabling us t deliver new levels f human achievement acrss s many areas that affect all f ur lives.
63.Accrding t LinkedIn’s recent research, __________.
A. sft engineers are required t identify 500 languages
B. A.I. will replace humans in jbs requiring certain skills
C. we humans underestimate the impact A.I. is set t have
D. A.I. technlgies are t influence research t sme degree

A. Humans are lsing cntrl f the wrld.
B. Technlgy intensifies humans’ cperatin.
C. Humans utsmart A.I in terms f critical thinking.
D. A.I. and humans are similar in their ability t innvate.
65.Leaders in different departments are advised t __________.
A. teach students unique technical skills
B. develp students’ sft skills fr their future
C. remind students where ur ecnmy is ging

Antarctic Turism: Shuld We Just Say N?
Mre peple are visiting Antarctic, the frzen cntinent than ever befre. __67__ This has brught a new urgency t the questin f hw much, if any, turism shuld be allwed n the icy cntinent.
The distance mst visitrs travel t reach Antarctica makes carbn emissins a serius prblem. __68__ One study calculated that each turist between 2016 and 2020 was effectively melting arund 83 tnnes f snw, due largely t emissins frm vacatin ships.
__69__ The Antarctic Treaty, established in 1961 t prvide gvernance fr the cntinent, perates n a cnsultative basis, which means all 56 parties have t agree befre a change can be put int actin. The last majr decisin n turism was a measure passed in 2009 that prhibits vacatin ships carrying mre than 500 passengers frm making landings. That regulatin has still nt fficially been carried ut as nt every signatry cuntry has accepted it dmestically.
There is clear agreement that smething needs t change, but n agreement n what thse changes shuld be. __70__

It Takes at Least 200 Hurs t Make a Clse Friendship, and Mre t Maintain It
Many f us wrry that we dn’t put in enugh time t maintain clse friendships. But hw much is enugh? Unfrtunately, there’s n magic frmula (公式) fr hw much time yu need t spend n yur friends t keep them. Each friendship and friend are unique and develps r ends depending n hw we interact.
Frming a friendship in the first place takes a certain number f hurs f being tgether. We need between 40 and 60 hurs tgether fr a persn we knw slightly t becme a casual friend. In rder t mve frm casual friends t clse friends, we need t spend an additinal 140 t 160 hurs tgether fr a ttal f abut 200 hurs.
Hwever, deeper interactins can quicken that timeline. We can frm a clse bnd in less than 200 hurs with meaningful cnversatins. Cntrarily, spending 200 hurs tgether desn’t necessarily mean a persn will becme a clse friend. They have t want t be yur friends. Sme c-wrkers can spend 300 hurs tgether and never becme clse friends.
When it cmes t maintaining friendships, it’s nt just the number f hurs spent tgether, but what we d that matters. Engaging in passive activity with friends — like watching a TV series — is fun and enjyable, but it desn’t d as much t maintain friendship as having deep cnversatins, sharing feelings, and being a gd listener. And rutinely checking in with peple we chse t cnnect with, thrugh calls and texts r in persn, helps maintain relatinships and leads t higher scres f psitive feelings, like happiness.
The key pint is that sharing things abut urselves can lead t clse friendships. Once that clseness is established, sme ways t maintain clseness are supprting friends when things g wrng fr them and celebrating their achievements.
