If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world’s limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects. 刷阅读理解 A study by Vicki Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an app, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters. Here is another study from Maferima Touré-Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In their study, the researchers showed people an ad for a bookseller and then asked them to select some of the books that were being promoted. Those using paper to fill out the questionnaire chose more highbrow （高雅的） books on average than those using the tablet. The researchers believe that people make virtuous decisions on paper because it feels more significant than a digital screen. 刷阅读理解 In a study from 2017 researchers found that people assigned a greater value to the physical version of a product than its digital one. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Technology can close the gap between paper and screens, but not entirely. Mastery of digital technologies is vital. But a sense of touch, authenticity and humanity still matter. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，数字化是时代发展的趋势，但纸制品的存在提醒人们数字世界仍有局限性，而纸质品有其恒久的价值。 1.How does the author lead in the topic?( ) D A.By telling a story.

Just a decade ago, nearly all Americans paid for packages of TV channels from cable or satellite companies. That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV services is approaching 50%, according to expert Craig Moffett and S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Kagan research group. 刷阅读理解 For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans who didn’t have a landline （座机） at home reached 50%, around 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the landline. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious. Old habits die hard. Old industries that make a lot of people rich die even harder. And don’t forget that some new technology habits catch on fast but don’t stick. What may be a final drop in America’s cable TV industry is a big deal. It shows that technology can change deep-rooted ways of doing things slowly, and then suddenly. Ian Olgeirson, research director at Kagan who has been following America’s TV market for about 20 years, told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans. Olgeirson and other TV experts I’ve been speaking to didn’t single out a turning point in cable TV’s big drop. They said the downward trend was more like a series of progressive changes piling up. 刷阅读理解 It’s clear that the cable TV system that for decades brought joy and headaches to tens of millions of Americans is wearing thin. The wild card is whether Americans keep turning away from cable and satellite TV relatively slowly, or whether it will fail suddenly. I have always loved TV. I felt like a real grown-up when I first started to pay a huge bill for television, partly to watch my favourite football team. I had reduced my cable TV package, but then a few months ago I was told that my bill was going to increase by about$10 a month. That was it. I’m a no-cable household now, too. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有线电视就像固定电话一样经历了兴衰。 1.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about cable TV?( ) A A.Its falling popularity. B.Its increasing payments.

D.To explain technology can bring fortune to people. 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，在2017年左右家中没有座机的美国人比例达到50%之前，手机已经活跃了几十年，有线电视将步座机的后尘，这似乎是可以预见的。但作者预计不会那么明显，因为旧习难改。由此可知，作者在第二段提到手机和座机是为了表明要让有线电视消失并不容易。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 3.Which of the following is beyond Olgeirson’s expectations?( ) C A.America’s TV market was down suddenly.
