This is a stry abut tw kinds f intelligence: artificial intelligence and emtinal intelligence. Hw ften d we hear these tw terms tgether?
But Nw SftBank, a Japanese cmpany, is using AI t create a tl knwn as SftVice. This tl adjusts the vices f angry custmers s that call center emplyees can avid dealing with truble.
The new tl, SftVice, will mnitr caller's vices in real time, detect if they becme abusive and change their tne f vice t make it easier n the emplyee's ears. SftBank insists it wn't change the wrds that custmers say, but instead will d things like lwering an angry vice t make it less grating.
SftVice suppsedly wn't remve 100 percent f the angry tne, s that call center emplyees will knw bjectively that a custmer is angry. But it will remve enugh t remve any sign f abuse. As an added feature, the SftVice AI prduct will als detect if a custmer's abuse has gne n t lng, and play an autmated message that says: “We regret t infrm yu that we are ging t discntinue ur service.”
Nw, as much as this is an artificial intelligence develpment, it's als a great example f using AI t increase emtinal intelligence. And that's what this AI prduct des: remve the expressin f ther peple's unhelpful emtins, making it easier fr emplyees t d their jbs. The pssibilities seem endless—— and I admit, ptentially wrking.
Imagine a future where many peple in the same cnversatin culd use technlgy like SftVice in real time t change each ther's emtins—— r even their wrd chice. Or imagine peple using AI t change the tne f what they say. The tne smetimes determines the cntent; wuld cmpanies be n the hk(担负责任) fr an emplyee's AI-driven prmise t a custmer if it slightly changed the meaning? Still, at least it sunds like it's designed t imprve peple's lives.
28. What des the underlined wrd “grating” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Hurried.B. Pleasant.C. AnnyingD. Understandable.
19. Hw des SftVice wrk?
A. By giving staff advice.
B. By recrding cnversatins.
C. By changing wrng wrds autmatically.
D. By detecting abuse and lessening its effects.
30. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph abut the use f SftVice?
A. It will break prmises.B. It will mainly be used in call centers.
C. It may cause ptential prblems later.D. It may cmpletely remve custmers' anger.
31. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. A new type f AI in managing emtins.
B An AI tl and the cncern it may cause.
C. Future risks f AI in daily cmmunicatin.
D. Hw AI slves prblems fr angry custmers.

Mst peple typically get between seven t nine hurs f sleep each night. Nw, studies shw sme lucky peple have rare genetic mutatins(基因突变) that enable them t feel well- rested after just fur hurs f sleep. Researchers have identified ne f these mutatins, called SIK3-N783Y, in a human super- sleeper. The team then studied the mutatin in genetically mdified mice and fund that the mice carrying this mutatin als gt less sleep.
Researchers tested the mutatin by giving it t lab mice. They fund that mice with the mutatin slept arund 31minutes less than thse withut it and 54 minutes less fllwing a perid f sleep deprivatin(睡眠 剥夺). Mice nrmally sleep fr arund 12 hurs 145 day which is significantly lnger than humans. Therefre, this new mutatin- linked sleep reductin f up t 54minutes is less than bserved in human subjects with naturally shrt sleep patterns. The researchers nted that this culd be due t mice usually experiencing mre fragmented (碎片化的) sleep than humans.
There are a variety f negative effects assciated with nt getting enugh sleep, frm feeling tired- and being mre frgetful t an increased risk f heart prblems. Study c- authr Dr. Ying- HuiFu suggests that the bdies f these natural shrt sleepers might simply be mre efficient at the restrative(恢复健康的) prcesses that ccur during sleep. “Our bdies cntinue t wrk when we g t bed, detxifying(排毒) themselves and repairing damage,” she said, “All these functins ur bdies are ding while we are sleeping, these peple can perfrm a higher level”
Fr the rest f us wh need ur slid eight hurs, understanding the genetics f naturally shrt sleepers culd have imprtant significance. Scientists hpe that by investigating these genetic mechanisms, they can develp better treatments fr the millins wh struggle with sleep disrders. “These findings advance ur understanding f the genetic basis f sleep and prvide further supprt fr ptential therapeutic(医疗的) strategies t enhance sleep efficiency,” the team nted.
32. Hw d peple with SIK3-N783Y differ frm mst peple?
A. They have much less sleep. B. They feel a bit mre energetic.
C. They have better sleep quality. D. They fall int deep sleep faster.
33. What can we inter abut SIK3-N783Y frm the experiment n mice?
A. It has same effect n humans' sleep as mice.
B. It makes mice's sleep patterns as cntinuus as humans'.
C. It reduces mice's sleep mre remarkably after sleep deprivatin.
D. It enables mice t sleep 4 hurs a day like human super- sleepers.
34. What des Dr. Ying- Hui Fu intend t state in paragraph 3?
A. The utcmes f lacking enugh sleep. B. The significance f having lnger sleep.
C. The challenges f being a super- sleeper. D. The reasns fr shrt sleepers' less sleep.
35. What d scientists hpe t achieve with this research?
A. Imprve humans' sleep efficiency. B. Explre slutins t sleep disrders.
