As I signed the pre-medical applicatin frm, my fingers shk uncntrllably. The waterclr brushes n my desk seemed t gaze back at me, like ld friends wh had been left behind. I'm Lra,an 18-year-ld wh secretly drew brain diagrams n napkins while classmates drew cartns.“Art feeds the sul but starves the bdy,” Mm always said. Her wrds haunted me as my bilgy textbks slwly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the schl career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanr Whitman frm Harvard asked us t list ur“hidden skills”. My hand shk as I wrte“ bserving details”, smething I'd learned frm painting flwer petals.“That's medical research's mst needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing hw a student turned micrbilgy ntes int textbk illustratins. My lab partner whispered,“ Remember ur phtsynthesis (光合作用) cmic?” Fr the first time, my tw wrlds didn't feel s separate.
The real surprise came during hspital vlunteering. Watching surgeries, I nticed smething———— the steady hands f dctrs reminded me f my brushwrk. When a by struggled t describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragn n his cast.“Yu made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slwly, my drawing pads filled with cells that lked like clred玻璃 art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawsn, ur career cunselr, helped cnnect these dts. On his whitebard, my medical knwledge and art skills verlapped in a bright yellw circle labeled“Medical Illustratin”. He shwed me jb listings I never knew existed— graphic designers fr science apps,3D mdelers fr anatmy (解剖) classes.“Yur impractical skill makes yu stand ut,” he said, pinting t my dragn drawing nw used in pain management wrkshps.
Tday, my micrscpe and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that nce hesitated between them nw create 3D mdels f viruses fr vaccine educatin. Smetimes I teach yung patients t draw their feelings instead f describing them. My stry isn't abut heart and reality

Fr decades, scial scientists have debated the link between incme and happiness. A 2025 crss-cuntry study published in the Jurnal f Psitive Psychlgy—— invlving 120,000 participants frm45 cuntries acrss Nrth America, Eurpe, and Asia—— ffers new insights int this cmplex relatinship, challenging sme lng-held assumptins.
The research team, led by Dr. Elena Marquez frm the University f Zurich, first analyzed the cnnectin between" abslute incme"(ttal annual earnings) and self- reprted happiness scres(measured n a 10- pint scale). They fund that fr individuals with annual incmes belw 75,000,there was a strng psitive crrelatin: each 10,000 increase in incme was assciated with a 0.8-pint rise in happiness. Hwever, abve 75,000, the crrelatin weakened greatly—— an additinal10,000 nly led t a 0.1- pint increase. Dr. Marquez labeled this $75,000 figure the“ happiness threshld”: beynd this pint, mre mney did nt significantly bst happiness.
What surprised researchers even mre was the impact f" relative incme"(incme cmpared t peers in the same scial grup, such as clleagues r neighbrs). Fr participants earning abve the75,000 threshld, relative incme became a key factr. Thse wh earned 20% mre than their peers reprted happiness scres 1,2 pints higher than thse wh earned 20% less—— even if bth grups had annual incmes abve 100,000.“It's nt just hw much yu have,” Dr. Marquez explained,“ but hw much yu have cmpared t peple arund yu. This‘ scial cmparisn effect’ ften verriding the influence f abslute incme nce basic needs are met.”
The study als highlighted reginal differences. In high- cst- f- living regins like New Yrk rTky, the happiness threshld was slightly higher—— arund 95,000—— due t increased expenses fr husing and daily necessities. In cntrast, in areas with lwer living csts, such as parts f rural India r Vietnam, the threshld drpped t 50,000. Ntably, the scial cmparisn effect was mre prnunced in individualistic cultures(e. g. the U. S., Germany) than in cllectivist cultures(e. g. Japan,Thailand), where cmmunity well- being is ften priritized ver persnal incme status.
Critics f the study pint ut its limitatins: it relied n self- reprted happiness scres, which may be influenced by temprary md swings, and it did nt accunt fr nn- financial factrs like health, family relatinships, r wrk- life balance — all f which affect happiness. Dr. Marquez acknwledged these gaps but emphasized the study's value:“Our findings help clarify when mney
matters fr happiness and when it desn't. Fr plicymakers, this means fcusing n reducing pverty(t lift peple abve the threshld) rather than just bsting verall ecnmic grwth. Fr individuals,it's a reminder that chasing mre mney beynd a certain pint may nt lead t greater fulfillment.”
28. What can we learn abut the“happiness threshld” frm the study?
A. It is a fixed figure f $75,000 applicable t all regins.
B. Belw this threshld, mre mney has little impact n happiness
C. It is determined slely by an individual's annual abslute incme.
D. Abve this threshld, relative incme matters mre than abslute incme.
29. Why did participants earning 120,000 reprt lwer happiness than thse earning 100,000 in the same scial grup?
A. They earned 20% less than their pecrs in the same grup.
B. Their abslute incme was still belw the happiness threshld.
C. They lived in high-cst regins where the threshld was 95,000
D. The 20,000 increase pushed them beynd the happiness threshld.
30. Which f the fllwing is a limitatin f the 2025 study?
A. It ignred the influence f relative incme n happiness.
B. It nly included participants frm individualistic cultures.
C. It used an inaccurate 10-pint scale t measure happiness.
D. It failed t cnsider nn- financial factrs affecting happiness.
31. What des Dr. Marquez suggest plicymakers d based n the study's findings?
A. Set a unified happiness threshld fr all regins.
B. Fcus n increasing the verall ecnmic grwth rate.
C. Priritize reducing pverty t help peple exceed the threshld.
D. Encurage peple t cmpare their incme with peers less frequently.

An article published in Nature this week says that AI systems pse a further risk: that researchers envisin such tls as pssessed f superhuman abilities when it cmes t bjectivity, prductivity and understanding cmplex cncepts. Scientists planning t use AI“must evaluate these risks nw; whileAI applicatins are still immature, because they will be much mre difficult t deal with if AI tls becme deeply embedded in the research prcess”; write c-authrs Lisa Messeri and Mlly Crckett.
In this article, Messeri and Crckett put tgether a picture f the ways in which scientists see AIsystems as enhancing human capabilities. In ne ' visin', which they call AI as Oracle; researchers see AI tls as able t tirelessly read and digest scientific papers, and s survey the scientific literature mre exhaustively than peple can. In bth Oracle and anther visin, called AI as Arbiter, systems are perceived as evaluating scientific findings mre bjectively than d peple, because they are less likely t select the literature t supprt a desired hypthesis r t shw favuritism in peer review. In a third visin, AI as Quant, AI tls seem t g beynd the limits f the human mind in analyzing vast and cmplex data. In the furth, AI as Surrgate, AI tls simulate (模拟) data that are t difficult r cmplex t btain.
Infrmed by anthrplgy (人类学) and cgnitive science, Messeri and Crckett predict risks that arise frm these visins. One is the illusin f explanatry depth, in which peple relying n anther persn —— r, in this case, an algrithm —— fr knwledge have a tendency t mistake that knwledge fr their wn and think their understanding is deeper than it actually is.
Anther risk is that research becmes skewed twards studying the kinds f thing that AIsystems can test— the researchers call this the illusin f explratry breadth(广度). Fr exemple, in
5/10
scial science, the visin f AI as Surrgate culd encurage experiments invlving human behavirs that can be simulated by an AI— and discurage thse n behavirs that cannt, such as anything that requires physical presence.
There's als the illusin f bjectivity, in which researchers see AI systems as representing all pssible viewpints r nt having a viewpint. In fact, these tls reflect nly the viewpints fund in the data they have been trained n, and are knwn t adpt the biases fund in thse data.“There's a risk that we frget that there are certain questins we just can't answer abut human beings using AItls,” says Crckett. The illusin f bjectivity is particularly wrrying given the benefits f including diverse viewpints in research.
If yu' re a scientist planning t use AI, yu can reduce these dangers thrugh a number f strategies. One is t map yur prpsed use t ne f the visins, and cnsider which traps yu are mst likely t fall int. Anther apprach is t be deliberate abut hw yu use AI. Applying AI tls t save time n smething yur team already has expertise in is less risky than using them t prvide expertise yu just dn't have, says Crckett.
32. Accrding t Paragraph 2, which might scientists agree with?
A. Human intelligence can't be vershadwed in analyzing data.
B. Studies with desired hypthesis are usually favred in peer review.
C. AI can cnduct a relatively thrugh verview f the prir research.
D. Prejudice has cmpletely been excluded by AI tls in scientific evaluatin.
33. What des the underlined wrd“skewed” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Declining.B. Partial.C. Dynamic.D. Irrelevant.
34. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. AI isn't limited t the utlk and biases within its training data.
B. Users cunting n AI tend t underestimate their insight f a cncept.
C. Relying n AI t fill gaps in the team's knwledge is much prefcrable.
D. Instant actins must be taken t rate AI's risks befre it is fully integrated int research.
35. Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. A Call fr Cnsidered Use f AI in Science
B. The Unseen Biases f AI in Scial Science
C. AI's Rle in Enhancing Human Expertise
D. Hw AI Is Shaping Scientific Discvery

I used t think there were tw types f peple: the nes wh nly use subtitles(字幕) when necessary, and the unappreciative crwd wh use them fr n gd reasn. I clung t this idea,arguing that they distracted audiences frm the 41 f the mvie-watching experience: the filmmakers' attentin t detail, the glimpse f a tear in an actr's eye, and s n.
But I have been frced t recgnize hw 42 I am n this pint. In 2025, a survey run by streaming service U fund that 87% f yung Britns are using subtitles mre than they used t.Amng my peers,“tw types” f peple have 43 “mstly ne type”:
Why is this practice s 44 amng peple my age? If yu aren't 45 and are fluent in the language f the dialgue, what is it that makes subtitles 46 ? An easy assumptin is that this is the result f a shrt attentin span, passivity and a lazy nature, a failure f generatin zmbie.
The U survey revealed that 80% f gen Z and millennials" duble-screen" while watching. I find myself being able t quickly 47 what characters have said, lk dwn at my phne, react, then lk up befre they have even finished their line. The subtitles allw us t g n ur phne but still grasp the main idea f the prgram. 48 , that means they functin as mini-spilers: when watching a cmedy sketch recently; I fund myself laughing at a jke befre it had left the actr's muth— because I had already read it n the screen.
Scial media has encuraged the use f subtitles. It is nw a(n) 49 that mst creatrs add n-screen text t their vides; withut the ptin t turn them ff. This 50 shift may explain why yunger viewers prefer rapidfire cntent and vides with faster cuts 51 at a higher speed,which subtitles allw us t d.
This isn't simply a trend but a feature: 52 in scial media's algrithms(算法). Text subtitles, rather than dialgue, encurage the vide t appear in the TikTk search engine, increasing reach and 53 as well as viewing time. It began as an accessibility imprvement, but the

rapidity with which it has caught n suggests it's crucial t getting that sweet algrithm bst. Seen this way, subtitles have been 54 as a result f ur technlgy- affected lifestyle. rather than smething we have 55 adpted.
