Every

day

when

Glen

Oliver

orders

his

morning

coffee

at

the

drive-through

window

of

a

local

cafe,

he

insists

on

paying

for

the

order

of

the

person

behind

him.

He

also

asks

the

restaurant

workers to tell the customer to have a great day, in case they’re not already having one.

Oliver has never made a big deal out of his own generous actions until a letter was published by a

news website in November. He found out that he had not just bought someone his breakfast

—

he

had saved a life.

According to the website, someone had written a letter stating that on July 18th, he was planning

on

committing

suicide.

The

writer

said

that

while

he

was

at

the

drive- through

window,

he

was

planning on going home, writing a note and ending his life. When he went to pay for his coffee

and muffin, however, the cashier told him that the man in the SUV in front of him had picked up

the tab and told him to have a great day.

“I wondered why someone would buy coffee for a stranger for no reason,” said the writer. “Why

me?

Why

today?

If

I

were

a

religious

man,

I

would

take

this

as

a

sign.

This

random

act

of

kindness was direc

ted at me on this day for a purpose.”

When

the

writer

arrived

home,

he

couldn’t

hold

back

his

tears

and

started

to

think

about

the

simple good deed that had affected him so deeply. “I decided at that moment to change my plans

for the day and do something nice for someone. I ended up helping a neighbor take groceries out

of her car and into the house.”

The writer says that in the months following that fateful event, he does at least one kind thing for

others every day. “To the nice man in the SUV

, thank you

from the bottom of my heart. Please

know your kind gesture has truly saved a life,” he said. “On July 18, 2017, I had the greatest day.”

Artificial intelligence(AI)has been undergoing great progress in the last decade

．

An AI program

can imitate human functions such as problem solving and learning

．

While AI offers much promise

for the development of smarter and more useful machines

，

it also fills many with fear of a dull

future where millions are thrown out of work

，

replaced by robots and smart machines

．

It’s perhaps possible that humans will one day be red

uced to servants of our machine overlords

，

but a calm assessment predicts a mixed effect of AI on the job market

．

History teaches us that

machines do replace humans

，

but somehow there are still plenty of jobs available today

．

The reason is that automation can take the place of labor on certain jobs

，

but also adds labor for

other jobs that are not easily automated

，

making labor more productive and actually increasing the

demand for workers

．

Jobs

composed

of

repetitive

tasks

are

the

ones

most

defenseless

to

automation

．

Examples

including

automated

weaving

machines

，

ATMs

，

production-line

welders(

焊接工

)and

phone

answering systems

．

It might seem that these advances would simply throw people out of work

．

But

look

at

the

example

of

the

weaving

machines

．

They

increased

productivity

50-fold

and

dropped the price of cloth by 98 percent

．

The demand for cloth exploded as the price fell

，

thus

creating

more

weaver

jobs

．

In

the

years

between

1830

and

1900

，

the

number

of

weaver

jobs

increased 4-fold despite automation

．

Automation increased demand for weavers

，

but also changed

the nature of the weaver’s job

．

A similar process happened with ATMs

，

which didn’t remove the

need for human tellers

，

whose numbers actually have risen since A

TMs were introduced in the

1970s.

The intelligent response is for the public and private sectors to create worker training programs to

teach

new

skills

that

will

be

required

despite

the

spread

of

automation

．

This

will

require

all

investment in on-the-job training and lifelong learning

．

8

．

What can we know about AI from Paragraph 1?

A

．

It has a history of no more than 10 years

．

B

．

It leaves many people worrying about job loss

．

C

．

It is already too advanced to be further improved

．

D

．

It is unable to learn or solve problems like humans

．

9

．

What does the author say about automation in Paragraph 2?

A

．

It will surely reduce job chances for humans

．

B

．

It will certainly help improve productivity

．

C

．

It wi11 enable machines to enslave humans

．

D

．

It will eventually take the place of all human labor

．

10

．

What is the author’s main purpos

e of listing the examples in Paragraph 3?

A

．

To tell us how to expand the job market to cut costs

．

B

．

To explain why certain jobs suffer greatly from automation

．

C

．

To show what is the best way to have productivity improved

．

D

．

To prove automation doesn’t nece

ssarily make humans jobless

．

11

．

Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A

．

How AI will develop in the future

B

．

How AI will transform the job market

C

．

How man will benefit from automation

D

．

How man will survive in the age of automation

D

There is a change of attitude toward the pink and blue divide in toys. Target, the second-largest

discount retailer (

折扣零售店

) in the US, announced in 2015 that it would get rid of signs labeling

toys for boys or for girls. A UK campaign called Let Toys Be Toys seeks to get retailers to stop

dividing toys and books for one gender (

性别

) only.

Researchers have worried about the effect of having toys that were so segregated (

分开的

) by

gender for some time, says Lisa Dinella, associate professor at Monmouth University.

Clearly divided pink and blue toys

—

with dolls and tea sets on one side and trucks and

building blocks on the other

—

are actually a pretty recent development. As recently as the 1970s,

toys sold in the US were not always marketed with clear gender distinctions. By the 1980s and

1990s, however, toys started to become more gender segregated, though it was still not so sharply

divided as today, says Elizabeth Sweet, a lecturer in sociology at the University of California,

Davis.

While it may seem like a small issue, toys help children to develop new skills, says Dinella.

Dolls and pretend kitchens are good at teaching kids early language skills. Building blocks like

Lego and puzzles teach skills related to space, which help set the groundwork for learning math.

“Both genders lose out if we put kids on one track and they can't explore,” says Dinella.

Some parents try to introduce other types of toys and get away from the strictly pink and blue

divide. But it's difficult for parents to ignore the marketing and get their kids toys or costumes

meant for the other gender, says Dinella. While some parents try to broaden the toys their children

are exposed to, there is often a social cost to the child for crossing gender boundaries. “

So it is

hard for parents to throw out the rules,” she says.

Researchers hope that one day, toys will stop being broken up by gender and will instead be

categorized (

分类

) by type, like puzzle toys, dolls or children's bikes. Toy choices, Sweet says,

should be based on kids' personal interests, and not on their gender.

12. What trend is described in the first paragraph?

A. Offering different toys to boys and girls.

B. Giving kids more time to play with toys.
