Yu may have heard f the famus wrkplace cmmunicatin sftware, Slack. Many cmpanies use Slack t virtually cmmunicate acrss teams. What mst peple dn’t knw is that Slack, despite its 1 , was never meant t exist. In fact, the cmpany wh develped Slack actually had been hping t create the next ppular vide game. But after raising millins f dllars t fund the game develpment, the cmpany ultimately 2 the prject because the game failed t attract enugh users.
The 3 gal f the cmpany wasn’t achieved. Hwever, during the prcess f creating their game, smething else happened. The team realized that the EQ4 system they created t accmpany the game was wrth investing mre time in. And they 5 t invent the cmmunicatin system idea fr ne f the fastest-grwing startups (初创公司) in histry, and Slack was brn.
An utcme-fcused cmpany might have just mved n frm the failed vide game r, wrse, cntinued investing resurces, risking further negative utcmes. But 6 , this cmpany didn’t d that. 7 , they had been paying attentin t the prcess. Fcusing n the prcess allwed this cmpany t 8 and redefine their desired utcme.
Yu’ve prbably heard a qute r tw in yur life abut the 9 f “the jurney”—hw ften the jurney is mre significant and impactful than the 10 . The cmpany that develped Slack understd this principle, and by fcusing n the prcess rather than the utcme, they were able t achieve greater success than they first had hped fr.

In the state f Gergia, ne farmer has made it his missin nt nly t feed the hungry but t help them grw their wn fd in their wn backyard.
“My main gal is t make sure that underserved cmmunities that have been excluded r verlked have access t lcally grwn fd,” said Bbby Wilsn, wh perates the nnprfit Metr Atlanta Urban Farm. Since 2009, Wilsn has taught thusands f peple hw t plant and grw their wn vegetables and prepare meals with them, including nins, garlic, cucumbers, tmates, cllard greens, squash, and eggplant.
“Nt nly can yu learn frm my 35 years f ding this type f wrk,” Wilsn said, “but yu can learn frm ur cmmunity gardeners wh are grwing fd in a natural way.”
Wilsn, the first cllege graduate in his family, wrked with the University f Gergia fr mre than 20 years, bringing gardening educatin and prgrams t public husing cmplexes, schls and churches thrughut Metr Atlanta. Thrugh his wrk, he saw a great need fr fresh, healthy fd in lw-incme urban cmmunities.
When he retired in 2009, he used a prtin f his retirement savings t purchase the farm and help fill the gap.
“I saw the need,” Wilsn said. “Plus, when yu retire, yu shuld d smething yu really enjy.”
He estimates with the rising price f fd, peple culd save thusands yearly by grwing their wn fruits and vegetables. He als pints ut the health benefits that fresh prduce brings.
Millins f husehlds in the US are struggling t feed their families. And this is what mtivates Wilsn’s effrts.
“When small and disadvantaged farmers didn’t have the avenue t get rid f that prduce because peple were nt cming ut t buy, we had an pprtunity t help keep them alive,” Wilsn said. “We were buying fd frm African American farmers wh did nt have utlets and giving it away.”
Wilsn cntinues t ffer free fd t thse in need at a drive-thrugh giveaway every week, where families can secure healthy prduce.
Over the years, Wilsn says he has hsted a lt in grades K-12 fr farm turs and agricultural field trips. He wrks with farmers and gardeners f all ages and skill levels, frm preschlers t senirs, t prvide educatin and access t affrdable prduce.
“We’re mre than just a farm,” he said. “We’re abut justice, equity, diversity, and inclusin, because at the end f the day, I want my grandchildren t have it better than what I have it tday.”
24. Wilsn started the Metr Atlanta Urban Farm mainly t ______.
A. make a living B. pursue his career
C. prmte health awareness D. help the cmmunities
25. We can learn frm the passage that ______.
A. Wilsn’s farm has been arund fr ver 30 years
B. Wilsn undertakes sme educatinal initiatives at the farm
C. sme small and disadvantaged farmers jined Wilsn’s farm
D. thusands f students have attended Wilsn’s classes n farming
26. What des Wilsn think f his farm?
A. Underestimated.B. Unexpected.
C. Imperfect.D. Prmising.

When peple hear “artificial intelligence,” many envisin “big data.” There’s a reasn fr that: sme f the mst imprtant AI breakthrughs in the past decade have relied n enrmus data sets. But AI is nt nly abut large data sets, and research in “small data” appraches has grwn extensively ver the past decade—with s-called transfer learning as an especially prmising example. Als knwn as “fine-tuning,” transfer learning is helpful in settings where yu have little data n the task f interest but abundant data n a related prblem. The way it wrks is that yu first train a mdel using a big data set and then retrain slightly using a smaller data set related t yur specific prblem.
Research in transfer learning appraches has grwn impressively ver the past 10 years. In a new reprt fr Gergetwn University’s Center fr Security and Emerging Technlgy (CSET), we examined current and prjected prgress in scientific research acrss “small data” appraches. Our analysis fund that transfer learning stands ut as a categry that has experienced the mst cnsistent and highest research grwth n average since 2010. This grwth has even utpaced the larger and mre established field f reinfrcement learning, which in recent years has attracted widespread attentin.
Small data appraches such as transfer learning ffer numerus advantages ver mre data-intensive methds. By enabling the use f AI with less data, they can blster prgress in areas where little r n data exist, such as in frecasting natural disasters that ccur relatively rarely r in predicting the risk f disease fr a ppulatin set that des nt have digital health recrds.
Anther way f thinking abut the value f transfer learning is in terms f generalizatin. A recurring challenge in the use f AI is that mdels need t “generalize” beynd their training data. Because transfer learning mdels wrk by transferring knwledge frm ne task t anther, they are very helpful in imprving generalizatin in the new task, even if nly limited data were available.
Mrever, by using pretrained mdels, transfer learning can speed up training time and culd als reduce the amunt f cmputatinal resurces needed t train algrithms (算法). This efficiency is significant, cnsidering that the prcess f training ne large neural (神经系统的) netwrk requires cnsiderable energy.
Despite the grwth in research, transfer learning has received relatively little visibility. The existence f techniques such as transfer learning des nt seem t have reached the awareness f the brader ce f plicy makers and business leaders in psitins f making imprtant decisins abut AI funding and adptin. By acknwledging the success f small data techniques like transfer learning—and distributing resurces t supprt their widespread use—we can help vercme sme f the cmmn miscnceptins regarding the rle f data in AI and facilitate innvatin in new directins.
27. What des the underlined wrd “blster” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Prmte.B. Seek.
C. Track.D. Mnitr.
28. In which f the fllwing settings can transfer learning be best applied?
A. Predicting the frequency f flds in Amazn rainfrest.
B. Designing a prgram that can read handwritten dcuments.
C. Frecasting the number f peple infected with an unknwn illness.
D. Predicting huse prices based n basic features like area and lcatin.
29. What is the writer’s attitude twards transfer learning?
A. Dubtful.B. Optimistic.
C. Critical.D. Uncncerned.
30. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Transfer Learning: Where Des It Best Fit?
B. Small Data Are Als Crucial fr Advancing AI
C. Transfer Learning Pwers Technlgical Advances
D. Big Data vs. Small Data: Which Is the Future f AI?

Can yu imagine getting a majr dental prcedure withut nvcaine (一种麻醉药)? A scientist clleague f mine recently tld me, rather than use it, he used a “fcus in” meditatin (冥想) technique t direct all f his attentin t his muth with as much calming equanimity as he culd gather. Ding s transfrmed the pain fr a few minutes.
A stream f scientific articles suggests that there are benefits in turning tward discmfrt r negative emtins with acceptance. In additin, all f us can gain frm finding ways t cpe with stress and suffering—particularly when larger circumstances are beynd ur cntrl. As a researcher wh has studied meditatin fr mre than 20 years, I believe that the cultivatin f equanimity can help.
It’s imprtant t first define the idea f turning tward discmfrt. I’m nt advcating fr peple t put themselves in dangerus psitins. But when we push urselves int challenging r embarrassing situatins, much like trainers wh push athletes just past their cmfrt zne t make gains, learning ften happens.
My wn research indicates that meditatin prvides an ideal way t practice turning tward discmfrt—particularly when it trains up ne’s equanimity. In my labratry at Carnegie Melln University, we cnducted several clinical trials n develping equanimity during mindfulness meditatin training. This apprach includes guided meditatin exercises such as using a matter-f-fact vice t label uncmfrtable feelings in the bdy r welcming uncmfrtable feelings by saying “yes” alud each time a feeling is detected.
We hired 153 stressed adults and ffered them a mindfulness meditatin training prgram with r withut training in equanimity. Our equanimity skills training grup had significantly better utcmes n several measures. After just 14 days f training, fr example, the participants wh learned equanimity skills had significantly lwer bilgical stress respnses when asked t deliver a difficult speech and slve math prblems in frnt f experts in white lab cats. This grup als had significantly lwer bld pressure and stress levels. In the days after training, peple intrduced t equanimity exercises als reprted significantly higher psitive emtins and well-being thrughut the day and mre meaningful scial interactins than participants wh received mindfulness training withut the equanimity cmpnent. It was as thugh develping equanimity had transfrmed their emtinal reactivity t stress, helping them better appreciate and enjy daily life’s many little psitive experiences and making them mre curius and pen t cnnecting with thers.
We are expanding n this wrk in several ways—including thrugh the develpment f an app that ffers equanimity training n demand and with trials invlving participants with stress-related gastrintestinal (胃肠的) disrders. Meanwhile ther scientists are further explring equanimity’s pwer. We are cnvinced we can each build ur resilience (恢复力) n a persnal level by cultivating greater acceptance f ur experience—gd r bad, painful r pleasant—in the present mment.
31. What can be learned abut equanimity?
A. It is a state f mental calmness.
B. It is a frm f negative emtins.
C. It is a replacement fr nvcaine.
D. It is the result f mindfulness meditatin.
32 Which f the fllwing is a gd example f equanimity training?
A. Ignring discmfrt ttally. B. Detecting unusual behavir.
C. Keeping emtins t neself. D. Seeing negative feelings bjectively.
33. Paragraph 5 is written t shw ______.
A. the benefits f develping equanimity
B. the prcedure f mindfulness meditatin
C. the perfrmances f tw meditatin training grups
D. the relatinship between equanimity and well-being
34. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Stress cntributes t physical disrders.
B. Pleasant experiences result in greater equanimity.
C. Peple are likely t have easy access t equanimity training.
D. Resilience can help peple gain mre acceptance f hardship.

Want t write better? There’s a new bk that says simple writing is best.
D yu check yur text messages befre sending? 35 If nt, yu might prefer getting things dne fast, even if they’re nt perfect.
This bk argues that it’s imprtant t write carefully, even fr quick messages. Tdd Rgers and Jessica Lasky Fink, frm Harvard, wrte “Writing Fr Busy Readers”. It’s smartly named because everyne’s busy tday. Peple get lts f messages every day, frm emails t texts. 36 Deciding what t read, skim, r ignre happens many times a day fr almst everyne.
The authrs share gd writing tips, like cutting unnecessary wrds and using simple wrds everyne knws. They say it’s imprtant t keep sentences simple. They tested the idea that less is mre. Fr example, they sent an email t thusands f schl-bard members asking them t take a survey. They made the email shrter, frm 127 t 49 wrds, and gt duble the respnses (frm 2.7% t 4.8%). 37
The same is true fr text messages. In anther test, they sent a shrt message asking parents t take a survey. It gt mre respnses than a lnger, mre sympathetic ne. Smetimes, being shrt and clear wrks better than being kind but ignred. It’s nt just what yu say, but hw quickly yu say it that matters.
It’s nt just abut wrd cunt. 38 Reducing the number f ptins has the same effect. Shrt, active sentences with cmmn wrds are best.
Frm psts t nline reviews, fllwing these rules gets mre likes and shares. Serius writers shuld pay attentin t. A study fund that cmpanies using lng sentences and cmplicated wrds were seen as less mral and trustwrthy.
39 It might be tempting t send messages quickly and hpe fr the best. But taking time t write fr yur readers has benefits. If yu send a rushed message that readers ignre, it’s like yu didn’t send it at all.
A. If everyne is a busy reader, everyne is a busy writer t.
B. They can als get puzzled by scial media platfrms.
C. If yu d, yu prbably like making even the simplest messages perfect.
D. They fund that lnger messages make peple think the task will take lnger.
E. Keeping messages t ne idea, r as few as pssible, helps make sure they’re read,
remembered, and acted n.
F. Yur gal is t cnvey enugh passin that yur readers think the issue in yur
message is wrth caring abut.
G. Explaining the thinking behind yur messages will allw readers t see that yu
knw what yu’re talking abut.

Fur Clmbian children survived a plane crash nly t be lst deep in the Amazn rainfrest fr well ver a mnth. This is hw they survived this hrrifying situatin.
It’s mst peple’s nightmare: surviving a plane crash nly t be trapped in a jungle with n way f cntacting the utside wrld. But they survived. The children, aged 13, nine and fur, as well as an 11-mnth-ld baby, were flying with their mther frm their village in the Amazn t visit their father in San Jsé del Guaviare. The single-engine Cessna n which they were flying experienced engine prblems and disappeared n May 1, 2023.
Bad weather prevented the army frm finding the crash site fr tw weeks, where they then fund the dead bdies f three adults, including the children’s mther. Hw did these children survive cnditins that wuld be an unimaginable struggle fr mst adults? They are members f the Huitt Indigenus grup and were raised in the jungle. As such, they have an intimate understanding f the rainfrest. They knw which fruits are safe t eat and which plants shuld be avided.
Wrking with, rather than against, the Amazn, they survived n fruits and seeds, while feeding the baby water mixed with yucca flur that they fund n the plane. While the children gt n with the business f surviving, the Clmbian army wrked with Indigenus vlunteers t find them. After 40 days f searching, the children were fund and taken t recver at a military hspital in Bgta.
While many arund the wrld have taken this survival stry t be a miracle, thers pint ut that it is the result f an ancient and intimate knwledge f the rainfrest that has been passed dwn thrugh Indigenus cmmunities ver the generatins. Indigenus tribes have a clse relatinship t the Amazn, marked by a deep respect fr the frest that prvides them with shelter and nutritius ingredients. It is their clse cnnectin t and understanding f the rainfrest that undubtedly helped the children t survive.
40. What made the plane n which they were flying crash?
41. Why did it take the army s lng t find the children after the accident?
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and
explain why.
The children survived the hrrifying situatin by fighting against the Amazn rainfrest.
43. What lessn can yu learn frm the stry? (In abut 40 wrds)
