I was a boy bom with brain damage.My family managed ofinddherewlivd in Leningrad (ow St.Petersburg),Russia,and I took part in clinical trials testing newteas Shorly afer my first birthday,I started walking and it became clear that my inligencuon was unaffected.Hence,in some sense,I was lucky.Still,I couldn't do some things growing up. Both bands shook,especially when I was nervousrembaassed My left hand was muchors than my righsoIleamed to write and do simple tasks with my right hand,butit wasn'teasytodo anything precisely. AsatIfaced a lot of bullying at school FeelingaoneIjonedasudy groupad "The natural world".I thought that getting into the world of animalswould keep me away fom ☒I people.That's how I came into the field of biology.At university,I enjoyd the lctures in my science classes.Many lab tasks proved impossible,however.As I struggled with my mood,I reada book about depression.From then on,the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion.I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments in rats to study depression.

C Robotics has been a rapidly evolving field in recent years.Only in the past decade have scientists truly begun to understand the potential of robots in various aspects of our lives. They provide a new viewpoint on how technology can assist bumans and bring up an old debate:Whether robots will replace humans in the workplace or whether they will work alongside us in a cooperative way.The current fascination with robotics originates from the creative work of a team of researchers at a leading technology institute. When Dr Smith joined the institute to work on artificial intelligence,he was also involved in robotics projects.But he noticed something interesting:Different industries had different expectations from robots.Dr Smith had been trained in traditional robotic programming,where each command represented a specific action.At the time,many people thought robotics was just a tool for repetitive tasks.But Dr Smith believed that robots could be much more.He wondered: Could robots actually have the ability to adapt and learn like humans?And could they change the way we work and live?It was 2020.Dr Smith's idea was considered revolutionary. Now,a few years later,Dr Smith is presenting his research at a conference and explaining how he is pushing the boundaries of robotics.For a long time,many people feared that robots would take away jobs.They thought technology must be controlled to protect buman employment.But Dr Smith argues that robots are not a.threat but an opportunity.Robots are based on algorithms and date,the manipulation of information."What I say,"Dr Smith explains;"is that robotics is not about replacing humans-it's about strengthening our abilities." 共6页 28.What caused the present growing interest in roborics?

B.Dr Smith's research on artificial intelligence. C.The potential of roboties to assist rather than replace humans. D.The development of a leading technology instinute. D In most cases,people pick the easiest way out:the path of least resistance.Yet,it is the hard choice-the path of most resistance-that is more beneficial and provides most sucess in the long nun.How do these paths differ?What are the dangers of an easy life?What are tbe rewards for a hard life?How do you start taking the path of most resistance? Taking the path of least resistance means choosing the easiest available option,with little regard for its long-term consequences.For example,you eat whatever you like,whenever you like, and in whatever amount you like.It may foel nice at first but all of them have a very steep price.In that case,it's guaranteed obesity.Most people in modem world follow this path and this is why so many people stroggle with a lack of self-diseipline,good habits,ete. The path of most resistance is about choosing the option that will lead to more personal 第4页 growth,even if it mens sofforing to the carly stags of the prooss For example,it may os you lot to quit watching TV for bours on end.But over the long term,you'll free up a lot of time that will lead to a more sarudying life then that of a couch potata.At first sight,this spproach is unappcaling.I requires effort and los of pleasure,and leads to potential suffoting Yet,oo the other side of all that lies a world of more confidence,self-discipline and roental resdionce )In the end,they more than make up for the fleating superficial pleesures. We're lary by nature.Some may point out that it was becanae of this sendoney that we now enjoy so many wonders of technology that people in the past would kill to have.But ask the same individuals praising laziness if they would be happy living a life where everything is grven to them the moment they think about it.They would have zero hardships.no objective in life and so obstacle.to overcome and no wise human would want such an existonce. 32.How does the author show the dangers of choostng the easy path? A.By giving examples. B.By listing dats. C.By making a comparison. D.By asking qucstions. 33.What does the underimed word"It"in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Watching TV for hours. B.Having many life struggles. C.Getting superficial pleasures. D.Choosing the path of.most resistance. 34.Which of the following would the author agree with? A.Life is to be enjoyed,not endured.B.Set your life goals as early as possible. C.There should be some challenges in life.D.Good habits provide short-temm pleasures. 35.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To tell us humans are lazy by nature. B.To show the common lifestyles of young people. 11 C.To prove it's laziness that leads to wonders.
