The cld nrthern wind here in the streets f Petersburg strengthens my nerves and fills me with delight. I cannt think f the Ple as cld and empty; in my imaginatin it is a regin f beauty and delight. Wh knws what strange landscapes and creatures we may find there? I shall satisfy my curisity with the sight f an unknwn part f the wrld, and walk where n man has befre. Thinking f it, I feel the same jy a child feels when he sails his little bat n a vyage f discvery up his native river.
This vyage was the favrite dream f my early years. My educatin was neglected, yet I was passinately fnd f reading. Uncle Thmas's library cntained nly bks abut explratin, which I read day and night. Finally, my thughts cme t the idea f making a vyage f discvery.
Six years have passed since I decided n the present vyage. I can, even nw, remember the hur when I cmmitted myself t this great enterprise. I began by making my bdy used t hardship. I went n whale hunting vyages t the Nrth Sea;I vluntarily endured cld, hunger, thirst, and lack f sleep. I ften wrked harder than the cmmn sailrs during the day. Then, at nights, I studied mathematics, the thery f medicine, and sciences f practical imprtance fr a sea-ging adventurer.Twice I tk jbs as an fficer n a Greenland whaling ship. I felt a little prud when my captain asked me t remain with the ship, s valuable did he cnsider my services. And nw, d I nt deserve t achieve sme great task? My life might have been passed in ease and cmfrt, but I preferred glry t every pleasure that wealth placed in my path.

C
In 1960, Duglas McGregr, a prfessr at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy, intrduced Thery X and Thery Y in his bk The Human Side f Enterprise. He held that when it cmes t mtivating emplyees, specific assumptins abut human nature must be factred in.
Thery X assumes that the average persn naturally dislikes wrk and will avid it whenever pssible. It als suggests that mst peple are easily influenced, nt very intelligent, resist change,avid respnsibility, and priritize persnal security ver rganizatinal gals while being self-centred.Based n these, management is tasked with rganizing all elements f a prductive cmpany. They must direct emplyees, mtivate them thrugh rewards and punishments, and tightly cntrl their actins. This traditinal apprach ften leads t autcratic(独断的) leadership within rganizatins.Fr instance, emplyees are clsely supervised, and decisins are made frm the tp-dwn with little input frm the wrkfrce.
McGregr, nticing the shrtcmings f Thery X, came up with Thery Y. This thery suggests that under favrable wrking cnditins, wrk can be as natural as relaxatin. Peple, when cmmitted, can exercise self-cntrl and self-directin. They are willing t take n respnsibility and are brimming with imaginatin and creativity. Organizatins that fllw Thery Y typically feature decentralized authrity, tw-way cmmunicatin systems, and participative leadership. In such wrkplaces, emplyees are given mre autnmy, like being invlved in decisin - making prcesses that affect their wrk.
These tw theries have been significant in crystallizing the findings f the Hawthrne Experiments. Hwever, they have faced criticism. They tend t versimplify human nature and managerial styles, wrngly assuming that the jb itself is the sle key t mtivatin. Als, Thery Ycan seem verly idealistic. In the real wrld, nt every jb can be made internally rewarding, and sme level f external directin is ften necessary. In the end, neither thery suits all situatins. A cmbinatin f bth, knwn as the cntingency apprach, is the mst fitting fr diverse rganizatinal scenaris. This apprach allws managers t adapt their mtivatinal strategies based n the specific cntext, emplyee characteristics, and the nature f the tasks at hand.
8. Which f the fllwing assumptins may cme frm Thery X?
A. Peple are eager fr jb variety.B. Peple dislike t wrk by nature.
C. Peple cnstantly seek t change.D. Peple are always cperative.
9. What's likely t happen in a cmpany that fllws Thery Y?
A. Wrkers help plan their wn wrk.
B. There are strict rules fr everything they d.
C. Wrkers are pushed by the fear f lsing their jbs.
D. Bsses tell wrkers what t d fr every task.
10. Accrding t the text, what is NOT a reasn t criticize McGregr's theries?
A. They assume that all emplyees respnd identically t mtivatin.
B. They paint a simplistic picture f hw peple think and act at wrk.
C. They set an unrealistic standard fr what makes a jb engaging.
D. They fail t accunt fr the need fr sme leadership guidance.
11. What's the main idea f the last paragraph?
A. A certain thery can fix prblems in big cmpanies.
B. Knwing these theries helps with emplyees’ ffice wrk.
C. A mix f the theries shuld be used depending n the situatin.
D. Getting emplyees mtivated is very imprtant fr a cmpany's success.

The technlgy fr speech-recgnitin systems has advanced greatly since its appearance in the1950s. Many vice systems can understand the language when spken at a nrmal cnversatinal rate.But even the advanced human-machine interfaces(人机交互) used tday are unable t trick the listeners int thinking a cmputer is a human. Why is this? Simply put, it's because human beings rely n mre than wrds t cnvey ideas r interpret messages, such as tnes, facial expressins, bdy mvements, and bjects in the wrld arund them.
One significant recent achievement in the field f talking cmputers is virtual persnal assistants(VPAs) n mbile phnes. If yu tell a mbile phne VPA that yu want t schedule a lunch with a friend, it can set the appintment in yur phne in secnds. The VPA can als hld a basic “cnversatin” and has earned fame fr its elementary sense f humur. Still, the humur is preprgrammed and can be triggered nly when human users speak certain key wrds.
While the ptential fr“real” cmmunicatin between a human and a machine may seem exciting, this pssibility cncerns sme peple. Sme experts wrry abut peple's attachment t these machines and fear that the art f successful human-t-human cnversatin will be undevelped in yunger generatins. They wrry that peple wn't be able t display the right emtin r tne in cnversatins because they haven't been practising thse skills. Others fear that machines will take ver functins that were traditinally perfrmed by humans, such as custmer service. Anther cncern ften assciated with the develpment f new technlgy is the invasin f privacy (侵犯隐私). When peple use certain speech-recgnitin applicatins, they leave behind an audi track f their speech. When yu ask a VPA fr directins, yur speech is sent and saved t a remte server fr prcessing. This digital trail may lead t data mining, r the cllectin f large quantities f persnal data.
Fr nw, hwever, the cntinuing evlutin f speech-recgnitin sftware is wrth expecting.Leading cmpanies in the field hpe t make human cmmunicatin with machines as seamless as pssible, just like cmmunicating with anther human.
12. Accrding t the text, what can a VPA d?
A. Entertain users with its riginal jkes.B. Enable peple t regard it as a human.
C. Hld preprgrammed cnversatins. D. Display the right tnes in cnversatins.
13. Which situatin reflects the cncerns mentined in the text?
A. One VPA service was priced higher fr prtecting users' privacy.
B. An airline bre high csts fr applying VPAs t its nline service.
C. An app failed t ffer the right directin when given spken instructins.
D. Sme teenagers became mre scially awkward due t the addictin t VPAs.
14. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T infrm readers f the duble-edged quality f a new technlgy.
B. T inspire readers t explre the future f a new technlgy.
C. T prmte the applicatin f a new technlgy.
D. T stress the cnvenience f a new technlgy.
15. What might be the best title f the text?
A. The wrries ver VPAs. B. Listening t“a real persn”.
C. The wrld f technlgy. D. Talking t technlgy.

What Makes a Great Scientist?
When discussing what makes a great scientist, Yuan Lngping cmes t my mind first. In the 1960s,witnessing the famine, he was determined t bst rice yields.
Despite the harsh cnditins in the fields, he dedicated himself t hybrid rice research. After numerus failures, he finally develped high - yielding hybrid rice, which significantly increased glbal rice prductin and saved cuntless lives.
Frm Yuan Lngping,I realize that a great scientist is characterized by a strng sense f respnsibility and unwavering perseverance. As students, we are inspired t pursue ur academic gals with dedicatin.Whether it's aiming fr high grades, participating in research prjects, r explring new fields f knwledge, we shuld strive fr excellence. thanks t get invlved in abve all feel at hme fr instance regardless f subscribe t in charge f cnsist f in turn prir t break ut
