One day I was driving a group of friends to a family seminar (研讨会) in Holmes County Ohio The village of Berlin was about an hour from our home The seminar is usually half a day except on Saturday In my hurry I left the house without cash and without food I comforted myself with the thought that I could go without them and it would allow me to concentrate more on the rich teaching that I would receive It was a beautiful day and the drive was pleasant through countryside I enjoyed conversation with my friends about the things of the Lord as we drove
When we arrived I found my place and settled in to enjoy the seminar The morning passed swiftly and I noticed no hunger When the noon hour came I went to the van (面包车) to spend some time alone with the Lord On the church grounds and in the shade of the tree people began to open large picnic baskets I knew it would be impossible to think about this feast going on in front of me
I started the van and drove into the village of Berlin I found the Christian bookstore and spent some time browsing among the books One of my favorite places on earth is a good bookstore Standing there I sensed someone behind me I turned and was shocked to see Lois standing there She smiled I couldn’t stand the thought of you going hungry so I brought you some money My heart welled up with love for her in that moment We ate lunch and kissed goodbye I went back to the seminar and she made the hourlong trip back home
The two things stand out in my mind First Lois would know that I was hungry so I would not have to go without food Second when she went to the church and saw I was gone she knew exactly where she would find me

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers’ behavior in great detail and in real time Start to slack off (懈怠) and AI could talk to your boss
One company offering such services is Londonbased startup Status Today Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card From this it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns All of this gives us fingerprint of a user so if we think the fingerprint doesn’t match we raise a warning says Mircea Dumitrescu the company’s chief technology officer
The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞) like opening malware (恶意软件) We’re not monitoring if your computer has a virus says Dumitrescu We’re monitoring human behaviors
But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to oldfashioned workplace surveillance (监视) says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group You have a right to privacy and you shouldn’t be expected to give that up at work
Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them but it’s hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees’ shoulders It will bother people and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia
Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk If people know they’re being monitored they can change their behavior he says
8 According to the text how does AI monitor employees
A By taking pictures of them B By getting access to their data
C By signaling their usual performance D By catching their actions
9 What’s Javier Ruiz Diaz’s attitude towards the system
A Approving B Uncaring C Supportive D Negative
10 What does the underlined word that in paragraph 4 refer to
A Security breach B Employees’ productivity
C The right to privacy D Workplace surveillance
11 Phil Legg’s concern about the system suggests that ________
A it is too risky to be used at work
B it will affect employees’ emotions
C it may not be so effective as expected
D it will encourage employees’ productivity
D
An international team of scientists studying lifespans(寿命)of wild mammals have found that just like humans females tend to live significantly longer than their male counterparts
The researchers looked at the lifespans of 101 different species from sheep to elephants and found that females lived an average of 18 longer than males for more than 60 of the species studies In humans females tend to live around 78 longer
The study led by scientists at University Lyon 1 and published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found this was not due to the sexes aging at different rates but that females had an average lower risk of mortality(死亡率)in adulthood than males It was unclear from the data as to why females survive longer than males however the authors suggest that it could be due to complex interactions between the local environmental conditions and sexspecific costs of reproduction
Professor Tamás Székely from the University of Bath was one of the authors of the study He said We’ve known for a long time that women generally live longer than men but were surprised to find that the differences in lifespan between the sexes was even more pronounced in wild mammals than in humans This could be either because females are naturally able to live longer or that female mortality drops compared with males
For example lionesses live at least 50 longer in the wild than male lions Female lions live together in a pride where sisters mothers and daughters hunt together and look after each other while adult male lions often live alone or with their brother and therefore don’t have the same support network
Another possible explanation for the sex difference is that female survival increases when males provide some or all of the parental care This is also true in birds Giving birth and caring for young becomes a significant health cost for females and so this cost is reduced if both parents work together to bring up their offspring(代)
12 What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show
A The result of the study B The impact of the study
C The process of the study D The purpose of the study
13 What makes females live longer according to the study
A Males are not born to live longer
B Males have higher risk of mortality
C Females age more slowly than males
D Females are easier to adapt to environment
14 Why do male lions live shorter than females
A Male lions are not welcomed by their family
B Female lions don’t need to feed their children
C Male lions have to look after the whole family
D Female lions get more support from their family
15 What is the last paragraph mainly about
A The explanation of parental care C The breeding ways of birds
B The significance of sex difference D The health cost of females

Jessie a 24yearold nurse had just finished an 8hour night shift at a hospital She was tired but glad to be sailing along the highway to where she lived Although the local government had posted a snow warning the calm grey sky convinced Jessie the drive would be safe I figured I’d be in bed in an hour she thought to herself
Snow began when she was halfway home Listening to the radio Jessie learned the highway was closed because a truck had slid off the road She texted some friends and her mom and tried not to sleep as she waited
After a couple of hours however conditions worsened Strong winds began rocking Jessie’s car She couldn’t see anything outside and snow was drifting up her doors It was she says a total whiteout and rows of cars and trucks
Late in the afternoon a police officer came and asked if she was in any difficulty She said she was fine She asked the police officer if there was any way to get past the trucks No ma’am he answered You’re not going anywhere
Once as it got dark Jessie began to worry She texted his brother Roy telling him to drive snowmobiling buddy(雪汽车) to get to the highway and find her
As Roy rode slowly alongside the rows of cars and trucks people would roll down their windows and ask for help I was the first person they’d seen in six hours He explained he was picking up his sister He told them Nobody’s coming and I can’t take you
Near 10 pm Roy reached Jessie He directed Jessie to pull her car onto the shoulder(紧急停车带) and asked her to get into his snowmobiling buddy
As they headed for home the fun started About five kilometers into the journey Roy made a mistake What he thought was a shallow ditch(浅沟) turned out to be a deep trough(水槽) Instead of coming out the other side they just kept going down They were trapped And feathery snow was over their heads
