At first sight，Easthpe desn't seem much like a Cassandra.She smiles a lt.Her manner is kind and mtherly；pushed t name her prfessin，yu might guess at nurse r teacher.But lk clser.
Easthpe is an emergency planner whse jb is t supprt the survivrs f majr disasters，in which capacity she acted fllwing the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Twer.Fr tw decades，the public knew nthing abut this vital wrk，which went n behind the scenes，thugh she was hugely admired in what we might call prfessinal disaster circles：a vice f calm and a funtain f wisdm.But in 2023，she published a best-selling bk abut her career，When the Dust Settles，and that changed.Peple became very interested in what she did.
"At literary festivals，mst authrs get questins abut their writing prcess，" Easthpe says. "But I wuldn't get thse.What peple wanted frm me was t knw hw I lived with the knwledge that I have.Wasn't I afraid？Hw did I handle？I wuld tell them that I didn't live afraid，and I wuld give them basic advice.But this wasn't enugh." In the end，she felt she had n chice but t write a secnd bk，ne in which she wuld try t distill （浓缩） all that she has learned fr the benefit f each individual.
While her publisher describes Cme What May as a radmap fr resilience （韧性），the wrd is ne Easthpe dislikes.Ready，she suggests，is a better ne.Easthpe als reminds peple that small things，like lsing hair during illness r cnsuming t much fd after smene dies，still matter.She encurages peple t remember，nt t frget，what happened during disasters，because such events leave a lng-lasting effect.
4.What might a Cassandra be like accrding t paragraph 1？ ______

Think abut the last time yu checked yur perfrmance ranking at wrk，glanced at yur class ranking，r figured ut yur fantasy ftball standings.Where yu landed in that list，as many peple assume，prbably shaped hw hard yu pushed next.But the reality is mre interesting.Mtivatin des nt rise smthly with rank.It bends.
In a study published in Management Science，Victria Prwse and her clleagues designed an experiment t islate exactly hw rank in a grup affects effrt.Participants repeatedly chse hw hard t wrk and learned their rank after each rund.
The results were striking.Peple wh were tld they ranked first increased their effrt by 21 percent cmpared t the average.Thse ranked last increased their effrt by 13 percent.And thse stuck in the middle？Their effrt actually drpped by mre than 10 percent.This pattern effrt increasing at bth extremes and decreasing in the middle-held regardless f gender，age，r field f study.
Ntably，pay was cmpletely discnnected frm perfrmance.Peple wrked harder at the tp and bttm purely fr psychlgical reasns.At the tp，the pattern is cnsistent with mtives such as pride r the thrill f winning.At the bttm，it culd be driven by a discmfrt with being last.
In a wrld full f rankings，these findings carry real weight."Emplyee f the Mnth" awards and caching fr the lwest perfrmers tend t generate real mtivatin.Hwever，blanket rankings risk demralizing thse wh keep the gears turning.Structuring teams int smaller cmparisn grups can help，encuraging the first-place energy.Meanwhile，prviding detailed rankings t average wrkers may be harmful，because they are mst likely t stay lyal，shw up cnsistently but get annyed when tld they are rdinary.
The next time yu see a ranking，ntice where yu land and take prper actin.At the tp，energy surges.At the bttm，the urge t climb can match it.In the middle，recgnize and resist the subtle pull t ease up.
8.What is a cmmn misunderstanding f ranking？______
A. It is widely used in the wrkplace.
B. It pressures peple t sme extent.
C. It mtivates mre as rank rises.
D. It is clsely related t financial rewards.
9.Which f the fllwing best illustrates the pattern f the study？______
A.
B.
C.
D.
10.What des the authr suggest emplyers d？______
A. Give rankings widely.B. Use rankings selectively.
C. Treat perfrmers equally.D. Cach emplyees intensively.
11.What is the authr's attitude tward Victria's studies？______
A. Unclear.B. Dismissive.C. Dubtful.D. Apprving.

The ty industry is pushing frward with AI chatbts built int stuffed animals and mini rbts.These tys are flexible enugh t cnduct limited cnversatins with children and t respnd t them as they finish talking.Are these interactins enugh t prvide the "persnalized educatin"claimed？Will tys like Curi's Grem help r harm children's language develpment？
The mre language addressed t children，the bigger their vcabulary will be.But these wrds are nt learned ut f cntext，as AI-infused tys d，but frm caregivers wh make the wrds cme alive.Research shws that chatbt talk is unlikely t imprve yung children's language utcmes.In fact，if allwed t replace cnversatins with caregivers，these tys may impede children's language learning.
When a caregiver describes smething a child is interested in，the child can learn its name.A chatbt is less able t teach children abut their envirnments because it cannt see and describe a ty the child is hlding.Even if it culd see，it des nt have prir knwledge abut the tys a child wns.Language skills d nt grw frm simply hearing lts f wrds —they grw frm hearing wrds in cnversatins that capture the child's attentin.
Finally，children seek further infrmatin abut the sunds f their language.A caregivers repetitin f the wrd emphasizes its name while giving the child mre infrmatin abut its sund.If the child misprnunces，the caregiver will likely emphasize the crrect prnunciatin.Cmmercial chatbts can't reliably d this.
Quality language expands n what tddlers knw，takes the child's perspective and past int accunt，and respnds t children's questins.We see sme wrk shwing scial rbts can help preschl children learn vcabulary，and cnversatinal agents can help lder children learn frm educatinal TV.Hwever，we need mre research t knw the effects these rbts have n babies' and tddlers' language learning.Until then，we believe humans in tddlers' lives are respnsible fr cnducting the cnversatins that grw children's language.As ne researcher stated，"Our babies shuldn't be lab mice fr ty cmpanies."
12.What is the functin f the first paragraph？ ______
A. T pint ut a prblem.B. T present a phenmenn.
C. T put frward the viewpint.D. T intrduce the tpic.
13.What des the underlined wrd "impede"in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
A. Prevent.B. Facilitate.C. Secure.D. Maintain.
14.What can a caregiver d t help children learn a language？ ______
A. Prvide interactin in cntext.B. Emphasize their names.
C. Weaken their attentin.D. Repeat grammar rules.
15.Which f the fllwing is the best title f the passage？ ______
A. Is It Necessary t Interact with Caregivers？
B. Will AI-Pwered Tys Be a New Ty Trend？
C. Can AI-Pwered Tys Help Tddlers Learn Language？
D. Are Caregivers the Secret t Kids' Overall Develpment？

The first frst f Nvember painted Mrs.Hendersn's rse bushes silver，but her md was anything but cheerful.Fr three days，her mrning newspaper Riverdale Gazette had disappeared frm its usual spt by the frnt dr.Each mrning，she'd glance thrugh her lace curtains at precisely 6：45 a.m.，nly t find the empty driveway where the newspapers shuld have been.Her suspicin，like the frst，grew steadily clder and it settled firmly n her new next-dr neighbrs，the Carters.
The Carters mved in tw mnths ag — a yung cuple with twin bys.T Mrs.Hendersn's rdered mind，their hme was a symphny f cheerful chas：brightly clred plastic tys spreading acrss the yard，a tricycle lying n its side by the walkway，and the cnstant energetic screams f children at play.Newspapers were clearly part f their husehld mess.
The final straw came n Thursday.Nt nly was her paper gne，but a beautiful，prize-wrthy rse frm her frnt garden bed had been taken clean ，a champin gardener fr twenty years，felt a ht wave f anger.This was n accident：this was damage n purpse!She pictured a small hand reaching thrugh the fence.Enugh was enugh.
With purpse，she marched next dr and rang the bell f the Carters，thinking she shuld give the bys a lessn.
Mr.Carter answered，lking pleasantly surprised but slightly cnfused，with a child hlding nt each leg and a naughty dg circling his feet. "Mrs，Hendersn!What a lvely surprise!" Befre she culd launch int her prepared speech abut cmmunity respect and prperty，her eyes slid past him int the hallway.There，neatly std n a small table beside an umbrella stand，were three cpies f Riverdale Gazette.

Then Mrs.Hendersn even pictured the dg biting ff her rse running arund.
Realizing she was wrng abut the bys，Mrs.Hendersn's prepared wrds were gne.Fr a mment，embarrassment rted her t the spt，with her face burning ht.A wave f guilt washed ver her as she lked at the shy bys she had blamed. " thught it was the..." her vice much sfter than then turned t the twins and invited them t see her garden smeday.The bys' eyes lit up at nce.As she walked back hme with the papers，it dawned n her that suspicin，like frst，culd chill the heart，but kindness had the pwer t melt it away.
