Waking up t the quiet that mrning, I felt a bit f emptiness. My daughter had graduated frm cllege and mved ut frm ur hme in Naperville, Illinis. My sn had just gtten married. At first, I’d appreciated the peace and quiet. Nw, thugh, I wke fresh and well rested fr t many days in a rw. I wanted t greet the mrnings with a real purpse in mind.
Why nt turn that spare rm int a guest rm? My daughter-in-law had given me a green silk bedspread that came frm Shanghai in her hme cuntry China. I laid it n the new bed. I painted the walls and sewed a set f curtains. In a few mnths, the spare rm was transfrmed. Smene, smeday, wuld feel mighty welcme in my guest rm. Wh? When? I had n idea.
One day, I drve t Nrth Central Cllege n persnal business. I pictured my newly transfrmed guest rm with its deep green silk bedspread. A bedspread that came all the way frm Shanghai. That gave me an idea: Why nt ffer my guest rm t internatinal students while the drms were clsed? I left my name at the schl’s internatinal ffice.
I was surprised at hw quickly I gt a call frm the directr f Friendship Families. Vlunteers frm the cmmunity signed up t be matched with freign students wh needed help navigating their new wrld. I was paired up with Mamie, a shy newly-arrived British student. And this was where my jurney as a vlunteer began.
In the fllwing days, I did all I culd t make her feel at hme in Illinis. I was tuched when Mamie presented me with a card n Mther’s Day. “T my inspiratin, ” it said. “Lve, Mamie. ” It turned ut that Mamie was nly the first f several internatinal students wh brightened my life. Visiting angels frm arund the wrld!
Preparing fr cmpany prepared my heart fr the jb: t welcme guests frm near and far, fr hwever lng they needed.

Fr decades, teaching a rbt t play the pian has always meant prgramming it first. Every nte was mapped ut, every finger psitin specified in advance. The machine desn’t listen — it fllws rders. That assumptin is nw harder t maintain. Develped by researchers frm the University f Suthern Califrnia (USC), a rbtic hand called “Musician Hand” randmly pressed pian keys fr tw minutes, then listened t an unfamiliar tune and played it back n the first attempt.
The Musician Hand learns thrugh a methd called “mtr babbling” , which refers t the trial-and-errr way babies use t figure ut their wn arms and legs. During the tw-minute self-explratin, the fur-fingered rbtic hand pressed pian keys randmly, recrding every sund and the crrespnding finger mvements. Its fingers are driven by small electric mtrs and flexible crds (索线) , just like hw human fingers wrk. With the cllected data, intelligent netwrks can interpret a new tune and translate it int the mtr cmmands needed t reprduce it.
Then, the team set up a blind test. The Musician Hand played tunes alngside fur trained pianists and five beginners. Tw prfessinal music judges were asked t tell them apart. The rbt held its wn against the trained players and clearly utdid the beginners. Smetimes the judges culd nt distinguish its perfrmance frm that f humans.
Engineers build mst rbts n a simple assumptin: a machine needs near-perfect infrmatin abut itself and its surrundings t act well. Azadju’s team rejects it. “Living things d fine withut perfect infrmatin — they sense, make a gd guess, and adapt n the fly, ” Azadju ntes. The team calls this apprach perceptual technlgy, where a machine perceives, experiments, and crrects itself instead f leaning n extensive training.
The same idea culd reach well beynd music. Fr patients with Parkinsn’s disease, a wearable rbtic suit based n this technlgy can learn their unique mvement habits and help them mve naturally as the disease advances. “The same apprach, ” Azadju says, “culd ne day help a strke patient regain hand functin, cperate with a cnstructin wrker r help an elderly persn stay safely at hme. Althugh it remains a mdel, rbts can learn yu. ”
28. Hw des a traditinal rbt learn t play the pian?
A. It listens actively. B. It draws maps.
C. It practices repeatedly. D. It beys cmmands.
29. What aspect f the rbt is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. Its physical structure. B. Its self-learning prcess.
C. Its intelligent netwrk. D. Its sund-t-mvement principle.
30. Why did the team cnduct a blind test n the rbt?
A. T prmte it n the market. B. T imprve its perfrmance.
C. T see hw gd it really was. D. T shw hw it wrked with pianists.
31. What des Azadju say abut the technlgy?
A. It’s mature. B. It’s bming. C. It’s cmplex. D. It’s prmising.

Yu walk int a clthing stre and spt a leather cat marked $1, 800. Yu immediately label it extremely pricey and mve n. Later that day, yu find an identical cat n sale fr $650, and yu instantly think yu have fund an incredible steal. What yu may nt realize is that yur judgment has been misled by the anchring bias (锚定偏见) .
The anchring bias was first identified by psychlgists Daniel Kahneman and Ams Tversky in their research n intuitive (直觉的) reasning. It describes the human tendency t rely heavily n the first piece f infrmatin we encunter — called an anchr — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference pint.
Cnsider bargaining fr a secnd-hand vehicle. If a seller pens with a high asking price, that number becmes yur mental anchr. Even if yu negtiate the price far lwer, yu will still view the final deal as a win cmpared t the riginal figure, ignring the car’s true market value. The ppsite hlds true: A surprisingly lw initial ffer causes the seller t undervalue their wn prperty. This trap des nt nly appear in shpping; it influences salary negtiatins, exam scre judgments, and even predictins abut glbal statistics.
The bias exists because human brains naturally cnserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cgnitive (认知的) effrt, s we autmatically lean n the first available reference pint rather than cnducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans r making estimates abut smething, we interpret newer infrmatin frm the reference pint f ur anchr instead f seeing it bjectively. This can affect ur judgment and prevent us frm updating ur plans r predictins as much as we shuld.
Aviding the anchring bias entirely isn’t pssible, given its widespread impact and hw pwerful it is. Like all cgnitive biases, the anchring bias is subcnscius, meaning it’s difficult t interrupt. Yet ne evidence-based and straightfrward strategy t fight against the anchring bias is t cme up with reasns why that anchr is inapprpriate fr the situatin. Meanwhile, cnsidering multiple ptins is always a gd idea t aid in decisin-making.
32. What d the underlined wrds “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. A real bargain. B. A free item. C. An identical prduct. D. An unexpected gift.
33. Why is the secnd-hand vehicle deal mentined in paragraph 3?
A. T explain a rule. B. T present a fact.
C. T illustrate a cncept. D. T make a cmparisn.
34. What is the cause f the anchring bias?
A. Reference pint lss. B. Independent analysis.
C. Brain’s energy-saving nature. D. Brain’s heavy burden.
35. What is a gd way t deal with the anchring bias?
A. Ignring its reasns. B. Weighing varius chices.
C. Seeking its impacts. D. Interrupting subcnscius thughts.

Reading cmes in tw frms. The first skims the surface: Yu fllw the plt and end up knwing rughly what takes place. The secnd, hwever, takes yu elsewhere entirely — the page fades away and yu emerge frm the bk with nvel ideas r feelings. 36 It requires bringing yur cgnitive resurces entirely t a text and invlves cmplex reasning and emtinal respnse.
Hwever, deep reading is becming rarer tday. A decade f smartphnes has reshaped ur attentin habits, leaving ur “reading muscles” wrn ut far mre readily. 37 Like any ther practice, it can be rebuilt thrugh deliberate steps and the right envirnment.
T reclaim this ability, the envirnment matters mst. 38 Studies shw that the mere presence f a smartphne reduces cgnitive capacity because the brain wastes energy mnitring the pssibility f a message. The ideal reading envirnment shuld be quiet and tidy, making the bk the mst interesting thing available.
Yu shuld als chse bks that reward deep attentin. Bks suitable fr deep reading have cmmn features: multi-layered writing, prgressive ideas and cmplex characters that ffer new insights n rereading. 39 These “resistant” texts, which frce yu t re-read sentences, ffer the greatest benefits fr yur attentin.
40 It is abut preserving and develping a frm f attentin that enriches every part f life. That attentin is wrth prtecting, and wrth wrking t recver if it has been lst. The path back is nt cmplicated: By putting the phne away and sitting with a wrthy bk, we can regain this vital capacity.
A. It is an active prcess invlving yur full mind.
B. Yu shuld be cmfrtable enugh t remain fcused.
C. The single mst effective step is t remve yur phne.
D. Deep reading is nt primarily abut reading mre bks.
E. Frtunately, this decline in fcus is nt a permanent state.
F. Literary fictin and philsphy typically shw such qualities.
G. Digital reading habits are ften in tensin with deep reading.

A Reflectin n Life’s Path

Then the lights begin t mve like the wind and shine as they shift. They change clr in waves f green, purple, and even red. T see them, yu can travel t Eurpean cuntries like Finland, Sweden, and Nrway, r witness this wnder in Alaska, USA, just as I did. Usually, peple visit remte areas with n artificial light r tall buildings, and stand in silence, watching the sky.

Seeing them reminds us hw small we are and hw amazing the natural wrld can be. Applicatin Windw
