A beautiful three-stry hme sits at the crner f 10th and Center streets n the Gergia Institute f Technlgy (Gergia Tech) campus in Atlanta. Frm the utside, it appears just like any ther hme, but inside, Gergia Tech researchers are testing and develping new devices t find ut which can make the hme safer — and smarter — fr lder adults.
The huse is actually a living lab, called the Aware Hme, and research cnducted there has revealed many tp hme-related cncerns amng lder adults — unattended cking, water left running, TVs left n ... and drs left unlcked.
Nw, sme in-hme technlgies are in develpment — r n the market — t address thse cncerns.
One new device called Inirv React cnnects yur stve (炉具) t a sensr (传感器) in yur hme and a smartphne app. The sensr will autmatically turn the stve ff if it n lnger detects mvement arund the appliance after a certain perid f time. Yu can als turn the stve ff using yur smartphne.
Devices f the future are expected t cllect and use data t becme smarter, accrding t Elizabeth Mynatt, a prfessr at Gergia Tech. “They will learn mre abut yur habits, yur likes, yur dislikes, yur rutines, when yu’re mst likely t frget t take yur medicine, what are the aspects f yur health that need the mst attentin,” she said.
With any technlgy, “mst peple ask that questin, ‘Hw invasive (侵扰的) is it?’ ... But what we hear frm lder adults is that they value the safety that the technlgy prvides fr them,” Mynatt said.
75-year-ld Albert Blet f Atlanta thinks mst lder adults are typically ready t bring technlgy int their hmes. “Peple have the misguided impressin that senirs are ppsed ( 对 立 的 ) t technlgy,” said Blet. “We d understand wireless technlgy, and we understand hw these things will make things easier. Being independent is mst imprtant in the mind f anybdy that gets t be ur age r lder.”
28. What is the Aware Hme?
A. A smart huse. B. A research lab.
C. A nursing hme. D. A science museum.
29. What will Inirv React d when it senses n mvement arund a stve fr lng?
A. Turn the stve ff directly. B. Give ut a warning sund.
C. Activate a sensr in the huse. D. Send a message t a cnnected phne.
30. What will future smart hme devices be like accrding t Mynatt?
A. They will prvide medical advice. B. They will be mre like caregivers.
C. They will becme mre persnalized. D. They will replace caregivers in mst cases.
31. What did Albert Blet say abut mst senirs?
A. They are willing t use smart hme devices.
B. They find it hard t keep up with new technlgy.
C. They prefer a simple life withut technlgy.
D. They are becming mre dependent n the Internet.

A hney bee’s life depends n it successfully harvesting frm flwers t make hney. Deciding which flwer is mst likely t ffer nectar ( 花 蜜) is incredibly difficult. In new research published recently, ur team reprts hw bees make these cmplex decisins.
We challenged bees with a field f artificial flwers, each f which ffered a tiny drp f sugar syrup. Different-clred “flwers” varied in their likelihd f ffering sugar. We put
tiny, harmless paint marks n the back f each bee, and filmed every visit a bee made t the flwer array. We then used cmputer visin and machine learning t autmatically draw and study the rute n which bees flew thrugh. Frm this infrmatin, we fund bees very quickly learned t identify the mst rewarding flwers. They quickly assessed whether t accept r reject a flwer, but surprisingly they made crrect decisins within 0.6 secnds while incrrect decisins tk them 1.2 secnds n average.
The results and what we expected are ples apart. Usually in animals, an accurate decisin takes lnger than an inaccurate decisin. This is called the speed-accuracy tradeffs which happens because determining whether a decisin is right r wrng usually depends n hw much evidence we have t make that decisin. Mre evidence means a mre accurate decisin, but gathering evidence takes time. S accurate decisins are usually slw and inaccurate decisins are faster. But bees nly accepted a flwer if, at a glance, they were sure it was rewarding. If they had any uncertainty, they rejected it. They might have missed sme rewarding flwers, but they successfully fcused their effrts nly n the flwers with the best chance and best evidence fprviding them with sugar.
The nly ther animals knwn t beat the speed-accuracy tradeff are humans and primates.
It’s indeed amazing that bees seemed t be breaking this bundary.
32. Hw did researchers get the result f the experiment?
A. By bserving bees in the wild. B. By analyzing bees ’ flight paths.
C. By testing bees in different clrs. D. By cmparing bees ’ fd preference.
33. What did the research find abut bees?
A. They culd tell artificial flwers immediately.
B. They perfrmed better in certain clred flwers.
C. They made right chices faster than the wrng nes.
D. They made mre crrect decisins than ther species.
34. What des the underlined phrase “ples apart” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Cntrary. B. Reasnable. C. Essential. D. Cnfusing.
35. Why d bees beat the speed-accuracy tradeff?
A. They ignre uncertainties.
B. They gather evidence very fast.
C. They stay n the right track while flying.
D. They adpt a special decisin-making mechanism.

The Science f Risk-Seeking

Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, r explring. 37 As the quality f risk-taking was passed frm ne generatin t the next, humans ended up with a sense f adventure and a tlerance fr risk.
S why aren’t we all jumping ut f airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ag, t much risk-taking culd get ne killed. A few daring survived, thugh, alng with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans develped a range f character types that still exists tday. S maybe yu lve car racing, r maybe yu hate it. 38
N matter where yu are n the risk seeking range, scientists say that yur willingness t take risks increases during yur teenage years. 39 T help yu d that, yur brain increases yur hunger fr new experiences. New experiences ften mean taking sme risks, s yur brain raises yur tlerance fr risk as well. It means taking sme risks, s yur brain raises yur tlerance fr risk as well.
40 Fr the risk-seekers, a part f the brain related t pleasure becmes active, while fr the rest fus, a part f the brain related t fear becmes active.
As experts cntinue t study the science f risk-seeking, we’ll cntinue t hit the muntains, the waves r the shallw end f the pl.
A. It all depends n yur character.
B. Thse are the risks yu shuld jump t take.
C. Being better at thse things meant a greater chance f survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped peple survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when yu start t mve away frm yur family and int the bigger wrld.
F. Hwever, we are nt all using the same reference standard t weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests ur brains wrk differently when we face a nervus situatin.

I met Gunter n a cld, wet and unfrgettable evening in September. I had planned t fly t Vienna and take a bus t Prague fr a cnference. Due t a big strm, my flight had been delayed by an hur and a half. I tuched dwn in Vienna just 30 minutes befre the departure f the last bus t Prague. The mment I gt ff the plane, I ran like crazy thrugh the airprt building and jumped int the first taxi n the rank withut a secnd thught.
That was when I met Gunter. I tld him where I was ging, but he said he hadn’t heard f the bus statin. I thught my prnunciatin was the prblem, s I explained again mre slwly, but he still lked cnfused. When I was abut t give up, Gunter fished ut his little phne and rang up a friend. After a heated discussin that lasted fr what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phne dwn and started the car.
Finally, with just tw minutes t spare we rlled int the bus statin. Thankfully, there was a lng queue ( 队 列) still waiting t bard the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned arund, and lked at me with a big smile n his face. “We made it,” he said.
Just then I realised that I had zer cash in my wallet. I flashed him an aplgetic smile as I pulled ut my Prtuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did nt play alng. A feeling f helplessness washed ver me as I saw the bus queue thinning ut.
At this mment, Gunter pinted twards the waiting hall f the bus statin. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped ut f the car, made a mad run fr the machine, and ppped my card in, nly t read the message: “Out f rder. Srry.”
