A few mnths ag, a friend gifted me a rbt sweeper that’s prgrammed t mve arund a rm and clean as it ges.
When the bx arrived, I was afraid the device wuld detect me and sak up (汲) data alng with the dg hair and dust. But the instructins were easy, and I finally decided nt t care.
I pwered up the sweeper, watched it leave its dcking statin t wrk, and quickly fell in lve with my newly shiny flrs. I kept shting its wrking vides. “I think yu’re giving mre attentin t it than t us,” jked my sn.
One day, I returned hme and discvered that ur frnt dr had blwn pen and the rbt rlled int the yard, trying t clean the flwer beds. Even when its brushes were blcked with leaves, bugs and mud, its little wheels bravely kept turning.
The rbt acted prperly as it was prgrammed t clean “dirty” things. In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind f dirt des nt need t be remved. The cntext is imprtant. The prblem fr rbts is that reading this cntext is difficult.

Sme experts even predict that we will sn see nt nly AI-enabled rbts designed t slve prblems accrding t their instructins, but als thse with the ability t judge hw they shuld respnd when they are in a different setting.

A. Its prgram went wrng.
B. It lacked critical thinking.
C. Its wheels were badly designed.
D. It failed t wrk n rugh surfaces.

The state f Maine is famus fr its delicius wild blueberries. The blueberries grw well n barren muntaintps, in abandned fields, alng rural radsides r where mst ther plants dn’t. They are als decidedly native as they have been grwing in this landscape fr mre than10,000 years.
At David Dickey’s small farm, farmers harvest blueberries, packing a burst f sweetness int tiny purple package. They’re als harvesting sunshine. A grid (格子) f slar panels stands a few feet abve fur hectares (10 acres) f the land. The electricity these generate pwers a few hundred nearby hmes. Under and arund these panels are extending fields f the lw, thick blueberry bushes.
Slar panels generate electric pwer withut sending ut the carbn dixide and ther greenhuse gases that fssil fuels release as they’re burned. Fixing slar panels n farms helps slve anther majr prblem: finding the space t cllect enugh sunlight t prduce enugh supply f electricity.
This cncept is called “Agrivltaics”. The wrd cmbines “agriculture” with “phtvltaics (光伏)”. Phtvltaic materials — such as slar panels — generate electric current frm sunlight.
Grwing crps requires hard wrk — ften generating nly a lw incme. A grivltaic prjects can benefit farmers by giving them a secnd crp: electric pwer. Als, farmers can pick up sme extra cash by renting their land t pwer cmpanies that will fix their wn slar panel sn the site.
At the University f Maine in Orn, Dr. Calderwd fcuses n finding ways t grw better berries. Her wrk includes studying hw the bushes can be planted t prduce delicius berries despite the shade cast by the slar panels at Dickey’s farm.
“Althugh the idea behind A grivltaics has been arund fr decades, it’s really just explded ver the last few years. Arund the wrld, farmers and slar cmpanies are wrking tgether t cmbine farming with the prductin f electricity,” Calderwd says.
8. Hw is the secnd paragraph develped?
A. By giving descriptins.B. By making predictins.
C. By making cmparisns.D. By ffering suggestins.
9. Hw d the slar panels make a difference in generating electricity?
A. They take up less space.B. They prduce n pllutin.
C. They blck ut direct sunlight.D. They avid the waste f electricity.
10. What is the main advantage f Agrivltaic prjects?
A. Increased agricultural prductivity.B. Reductin in greenhuse gas emissins.
C. Additinal surce f incme fr farmers.D. Prmtin f sustainable farming practices.
11. What can we learn abut Agrivltaic prjects?
A. They are a creative idea.B. They are in a grwing trend.
C. They are nly useful t farmers.D. They are a traditinal farming.

Studies have shwn the mere expsure effect, als referred t as the familiarity principle, inspires ur decisins. It is a helpful psychlgical mechanism that helps us sustain ur energy and fcus ur attentin n ther things. Getting used t new things takes effrt and it can be tiring. S unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely t buy frm cmpanies we’ve gt used t. That is why cmpanies spend s much mney n advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) cmpanies penly charge existing custmers mre than new nes.
It’s nt the case that we nly desire things we already knw. Sme studies suggest when invited t share ur preferences, we smetimes see less familiar ptins as mre desirable. But when acting n that preference, we fall back t what we knw. This might explain why smetimes the things we want and the things we d dn’t quite match up. We might even return t cmpanies that treated us prly in the past r stay in bad relatinships.
It’s easy t paint the familiarity principle as an enemy r smething t battle as if it is smething that hlds us back frm living ur dreams. But this attitude might be verwhelming because it tends t encurage us tward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we dn’t feel ready fr. Sme articles suggest the slutin t familiarity frustratin (沮丧) is cmplete expsure t nvelty. While this can appear effective in the shrt term, we may nly end up replacing ne prblem with anther. It als risks verwhelm and burnut.
S what if we can wrk with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is smething we can learn t play with and enjy. It is a setting fr creativity and a pathway t expansin. We can braden the zne f familiarity bit by bit. If we think f familiarity as smething that can expand, we can cnsider changing the cnditins in and arund ur lives t make mre space fr ur preferences t take rt and grw gently. Frm here, we will start t make decisins, drawing frm an ever-deepening pl f valuable ptins.
12. What allws insurance cmpanies t charge ld custmers mre?
A. The advertising cst.B. The imprved service.
C. The familiarity principle.D. The principle f the market.
13. We can learn frm paragraph 2 that .
A. Our preferences affect ur decisins
B. Familiarity tends t generate disrespect
C. The familiarity principle is a duble-edged swrd
D. There can be a mismatch between desires and actins
14. What is the authr’s attitude twards the slutin in sme articles?
A. Disapprving.B. Tlerant.C. Objective.D. Reserved.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Step Out f Yur Familiarity Zne
B. Spare a Thught fr Yur Preference
C. Gently Expand Yur Familiarity Zne
D. Give Pririty t the Mere Expsure Effect
