This past January, Lucy Liu reached a milestone in her art career(

事业

). The world-class actor,

director and visual artist presented her work titled

for the first time.

Liu has been making art since she was a teenager and still sticks to a consistent studio practice

alongside her work as an actress and director. She got her start while growing up in Queens in the

1980s, wandering New York City streets with a camera in hand. Her first artworks were photographs.

After taking a class at New York Studio School, she turned to painting.

Many people do things we can't understand and that we would never do. Although there can be

a

number

of

different

explanations

for

such

behavior,

one

reason

is

a

failure

of

empathy.

And

it

seems that we're seeing increasing levels of this failure these days.

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It is similar to but

different from sympathy, which can mean sharing a certain feeling with someone-having the same

feelings they do. According to Helen Riess, associate professor of psychiatry(

精神病学

)at Harvard

Medical School, empathy plays an important role in our society's ability to function, promoting

sharing of experiences, needs, and desires between individuals

Our neural(

神经

)networks are set up to interact with the neural networks of others in order to

both

be

aware

and

understand

their

feelings

and

to

tell

them

apart

from

our

own,

which

enables

humans to live with one another without constantly fighting or feeling taken over by someone else.

Research has shown that empathy is not simply inborn, but can actually be taught. For example,

it appears that medical, raining can actually diminish empathy, but on the other hand, physicians can

be taught to be more empathic to their patients. Interestingly, their increased empathy also increases

patient

satisfaction

and

cooperation

with

treatment

recommendations,

thus

leading

to

better

treatment outcomes.

It seems to me that these techniques could work with a lot of people besides physicians. These

days, I find myself thinking that we should be teaching empathy in school. Perhaps if we start in the

early grades and keep teaching it through high school, problems and inappropriate behavior would

reduce.

Empathy doesn't require burying of our own feelings. In fact, true empathy is about using our

feelings to understand the feelings of someone else. We might not know exactly how they feel, but

we

might

use

our

feelings

to

help

us

know

something

of

what

they

are

feeling.

This

kind

of

understanding, according to Reiss, can cross bridges and promote positive social behavior. Maybe

we could use a little more empathy in our world.

28. According to the text, how does empathy benefit us?

A. It develops our sympathy.

B. It strengthens our neural system.

C. It helps our society function better.

D. It increases our level of confidence.

29. What does the underlined word

A. Reduce.

B. Increase.

C. Stop.

D. Produce.

30. What is likely to happen if a student is taught empathy consistently at school?

A. He will behave himself better.

B. He will improve his academic grades.

C. He will choose to bury his feelings.

D. tie will feel satisfied with the school.

31. What is the best title for the text?

A. Empathy Helps You Win Out

B. Empathy Can Be Learned

C. Sympathy, Feeling-sharing of Others

D. Learn to Be an Empathic Doctor

Sixty

feet

beneath

the

surface

of

the

Caribbean

Sea,

aq uanaut(

观察员

)Fabien

Cousteau

and

industrial designer Yves Behar are imagining the world's largest underwater research station.

The pair have for the first time shown Proteus, a 4,000-square-foot modular(

组合

)lab that will

sit

under

the

water

off

the

coast

of

Curacao,

providing

a

home

to

scientist,

and

researchers

from

across the world studying the ocean.

Designed

as

a

two-story

round

building

grounded

to

the

ocean

floor,

Proteus

contains

laboratories,

personal

quarters,

medical

bays

and

a

moon

pool

where

divers

can

access

the

ocean

floor. Powered by wind and solar energy and ocean thermal energy, different from its forerunners,

the building will have the first underwater greenhouse for growing food. The underwater site will

allow

scientists

to

perform

continuous

night

and

day

diving

without

requiring

hours

of

relieving

pressure between dives. Like astronauts in space, they can stay underwater for days or weeks at a

time.

Though

oceans

cover

71

percent

of

the

world's

surface,

humans

have

only

explored

about

5

percent and mapped less than 20 percent of the world's seas.

important than space exploration for, selfishly, our survival, for our life into the future,

said,

Proteus is intended to be the underwater version of the International Space Station(ISS), where

government agencies, scientists, and the private companies can cooperate, regardless of borders.

Space

more

attention

and

funding

than

its

ocean

copy,

which

Cousteau

hopes

to

change

that

with

Proteus.

While

the

project

currently

has

some

backing

from

private

companies, it is currently seeking further funding. Beyond backers, the station's wet and dry labs can

be rented to government agencies, corporations and academic institutions. Part of the plan is to make

it easy to see regularly what is happening on Proteus, including live streams and VR/AR content. In

this way Cousteau hopes to engage a wider audience.

32. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. The purpose of Proteus.

B. The benefits of Proteus.

C. The functions of Proteus.

D. The significance of Proteus.

33. Why is ocean exploration vital according to Cousteau?

A. Oceans are under-exploreD.

B. Ocean exploration is left unnoticed.

C. Oceans determine humans' life and future.

D. Oceans cover most of the surface of the earth.

34. What does Cousteau think of the project?

A. It needs improvement.

B. It needs better policies.

C. It needs opportunities.

D. It needs more attention.

35. Where does the text probably come from?

A. A science report.

B. A guidebook.

C. A diary.

D. A science fiction.
