Working in behavioral science,I've been asked how adults,especially educators,
help students who like to stick with easy work.My answer is to take action based on
the science behind desirable difficulties,which reveals the root of the question,and to
do that,knowing what it is exactly is necessary.
When my daughter Amanda was young and still taking piano lessons,I'd
half-listen upstairs while she practiced down below.Typically,she'd get pretty good at
the opening measures of a new piece.But eventually she'd get to those she didn't
know as well.At that point,music became noise,and Amanda was struggling along
the way.Very soon,there would be silence.Then Amanda would begin again at the
beginning-where the touch of her fingers generated music instead of noise.In the
part Amanda felt uncomfortable about,she met difficulty desirable for her.If Amanda
spent too much time repeating the simple measures and not enough on what was
obviously difficult for her,I'd encourage her to get back to the hard part.
Why do kids need grown-ups to encourage them through what scientists call
"desirable difficulties"?Students often misinterpret the feeling of"This is hard!"as"I
must not be learning much!"However,the truth is that strategies taking more effort,
like testing yourself rather than just rereading notes,produce greater long-term
learning gains.Difficulty is desirable...but it's not always desired.Don't assume that
kids avoid effort because they're lazy.Instead,they may be misreading the feeling of
effort as a signal that they're failing to make progress.
Teach students to look at struggle in a sensible way by sharing stories of times
you,too,felt confused and how insisting through difficulties helped you improve
more than sticking to what you already knew.And,when their practice sounds and
looks truly awful,tell them the sound of struggle is music to your ears.
24.Why does the author mention the story about Amanda?
A.To prove a theory
B.To illustrate a concept
C.To provide a solution.
D.To introduce a phenomenon.
25.What would Amanda do when facing difficult sections of music?
A.Turn to her mother for help.
B.Practice them repeatedly.

C.Stop to return to the easy part.
D.Struggle to complete them
26.What is students'common misunderstanding?
A.It is hard to make long-term gains.
B.Adults don't understand their struggle.
C.Effortful strategies are ineffective.
D.Making progress is a must in learning.
27.How can educators help students deal with difficulty?
A.By simplifying the tasks for them.
B.By sharing stories of sticking to goals.
C.By accepting their poor performance.
D.By leading them to adopt a right attitude.

Researchers found that they could accurately predict how close two people were
based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips.
Simply put:You and your best friends really do think alike.According to a Dartmouth
study finding,friends have similar neural(神经的)responses to real-world stimuli(刺
)and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are.The study
reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns,followed by
friends-of-friends who,in turn,have more similar neural activity than people three
degrees removed(friends-of-friends-of-friends).
Published in Nature Communications,the study is the first of its kind to examine
the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social
network."Neural responses to dynamic,naturalistic stimuli,like videos,can give us a
window into people's unlimited,unplanned thought processes as they unfold.Our
results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar
ways,"says lead author Carolyn Parkinson.
The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate
students.The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals
based on mutually (reported social ties.Forty-two of the students were asked
to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)scanner.The videos covered a range of topics
and genres,including politics,science,comedy and music videos,for which a range
of responses was expected.Each participant watched the same videos in the same
order,with the same instructions.The researchers then compared the neural responses
pairwise across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends
had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their
social network.
The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among
friends,and this pattem appeared across brain regions involved in emotional
responding and high-level reasoning.Even when the researchers controlled variables,
including left-handedness or right-handedness,age,gender,race,and nationality,the
analogy in neural activity among friends was still evident.The team also found that
5

fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but
also the social distance between the two.
28.How did the researchers judge the relationship between two people?
A.By asking them to complete a questionnaire.
B.By observing their interactions on casual occasions.
C.By analyzing their brains'reaction to videos.
D.By comparing their valuations of the same visual material.
29.What can we know about the study mentioned in the text?
A.It has yet to win recognition from the academic world.
B.It involved more than 200 students watching various videos.
C.It required a professional device to analyze participants'conversation.
D.It is original and checks people's neural responses.
30.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The conclusion of the study.
B.The process of the study.
C.The working principle of an fMRI.D.The challenges of the researchers.
31.What does the underlined word "analogy"in the last paragraph mean?
A.Similarity.B.Intensity.
C.Abnormality.
D.Benefit

With fundamental developments in the field of technology,some experts foresee
serious risks to jobs and employability in the coming years due to the rise of artificial
intelligence (AD.About 27%of jobs are at high risk of automation during the
artificial intelligence era(时代).
Low-and middle-skilled jobs are most at risk,including construction,farming,
fishing,forestry and,to a lesser extent,production and transportation.High-skilled
occupations,despite being more exposed to recent progress in AI,face the least risk of
automation.
While the adoption of AI is still relatively low,rapid progress,falling technology
costs and the increasing availability of workers with AI skills suggest that the world
may be on the edge of an AI revolution ()So far there is little evidence of a
negative employment impact on firms that adopt Al.Workers and employers say that
AI can reduce boring and dangerous tasks,leading to greater employee engagement
and physical safety.
Nevertheless,a recent survey showed that three in five workers are worried
about losing their jobs to AI within the next decade.Additionally,a similar number of
workers worry that wages would decrease due to AI.More than half of workers are
concerned about privacy and three in four say that AI has increased work pace.
In my opinion,for the better protection of the labour market and workers in the
coming years,governments should encourage employers to provide more training,
integrate AI skills into education and support diversity in the AI workforce.There is
an urgent need for policy action to address AI risks in the workplace and to ensure
responsibility for and openness to employment-related decisions supported by Al.The
recent speedup of generative Al-related developments and tools marks a technological
6

watershed (with material implications in many workplaces.Longer-term
policy frameworks for the use of AI in the workplace should be considered and closer
international cooperation should be seen to maximize the benefits while appropriately
managing the risks.
32.Who may be most affected by automation?
A.A tour guide.
B.A building worker.
C.A coffee producer.
D.A farming professional.
33.What is the author's attitude towards the adoption of AI in the workplace?
A.Deeply concerned.
B.Strongly opposed.
C.Carefully optimistic.
D.Relatively conservative.
34.What do the figures in paragraph 4 imply?
A.Harmed personal privacy.
B.Decreased job satisfaction.
C.AI-related positions'popularity.
D.Workers'broad concern over AI.
35.What is the author's advice in the last paragraph?
A.Adopting policies to regulate AI's impact.
B.Limiting AI's application in the workplace.
C.Promoting cooperation between AI firms.
D.Investing more in AI education in colleges

Are all the emails and social media notifications (making you anxious or
getting you down?Is having to learn yet another new piece of software stressing you
out?Are the boundaries between family life and work life unclear because of
technology?36 The term is used to describe the negative psychological effect that
using new technologies can have.
Though many people may not be familiar with technostress,they probably are
familiar with the feelings of having too much technology in their lives.Technostress
can be broken down into a few subcategories including techno-overload,
techno-complexity and techno-invasion.37
Technostress may make people feel down or burned-out and even suffer from
depression.Some may feel tension in the body,which can lead to headaches and back
pain.38That is why dealing with technostress is vital to overall health
39 Acknowledge that it's a sign of strength and courage to recognize a
mental health
challenge and take steps to manage it.Experts encourage people struggling with
technostress to take steps in the workplace to get involved in how technology may be
used.
Taking time each day to get outside is also a great way.By all accounts,there's
almost nothing that aids in stress management so much as a few hours spent in the

A.All of them can have significant effects on health.
B.It's not a medical problem but can lead to diseases.
C.Such time is one ready resource available to most people
D.In the connected world,most people continuously multitask
E.You may be experiencing a phenomenon known as technostress.

Fifteen-year-old Cameron and twelve-year-old Barton lived in a town in Taxco.
Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out,yet still struggled to make ends
meet.Cameron and Barton,both in middle school,witnessed their parents'hard work
and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance.
As summer vacation began,while other children were enjoying their carefree
time,Cameron and Barton had a different plan.They started the challenging journey
of seeking part-time jobs.Their first attempt was at a local restaurant.Filled with
hope,they stood before the manager with an eager expression.However,the manager
looked at them critically and said,"You two are too young!"Their hearts sank
instantly.Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment,thinking,"How can we prove
ourselves if no one gives us a chance?"Barton's face fell as he asked his brother,
“Will we ever find a job?
Not discouraged by the rejection,they then went to a store named Thompson's
Grocery,hoping to become assistants."Hello,you must be Mr.Thompson.We're here
to apply for the job,"Cameron said.Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from
their school's help-wanted board to Mr.Thompson behind the counter,who was the
owner and seemed to be a kind person.However,before they could say more,he
shook his head.
“This job is too hard for you kids,”he said.“I need someone big and strong.”
"Let us give it a try,and if you don't like our work,don't pay us,"Cameron begged.
He stared at the brothers,who were so sincere,then nodding.Next,he led them to the
warehouse (of the store.The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and
all kinds of objects at random,filling every corner.The various items were mixed up
chaotically ()It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned.Cameron
and Barton were required to clear away the items.
