27. Which of the following can be the best title to the text?
As a young girl growing up in France Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could
make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine,
she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays.
There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
A. Saving Water in Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara
B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
D. Planting Trees in Tunisia
C
Trying to imagine fat, white sheep jumping one by one over a fence, is a well-known
treatment for sleeplessness. I’ve often wondered just who came up with such a silly suggestion. If
the idea is to bore you to sleep, why not count backward? And who decided on sheep? Why not
rabbits, horses, frogs or kangaroos? And does it really help you fall asleep? Search online, and
you’ll soon find stories about a study on battling insomnia that put the concept to the test.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich
farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara
Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have
led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land
areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new
technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than
chemicals.
“
In reality, that wasn’t the point of the research,” said senior author Allison Harvey, who
conducted the research. Their study wasn’t about counting sheep; it was just about using imagery to
fight sleeplessness. In her research 50 people were divided into three groups. The first had no
instructions on how to fall asleep, while members of the second were told to distract ( 分 心 )
themselves from thoughts, worries and concerns in any way they wanted. The third group was
instructed to perform an interesting and engaging imagery task, such as creating or remembering a
waterfall, a holiday or a summer afternoon in the sun.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a
programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to
show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is
better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is
living with no access to water.”
Those who used imagery reported falling asleep much faster than either of the other two
groups, and they rated their thoughts, worries and concerns to be less uncomfortable and painful
than people in the distraction or no instruction group.
By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with
farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are
needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next
couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
As it happened, two of the study participants in the distraction group did count sheep as a way
to fall asleep “and somehow people accepted that, I guess because they thought it was fun,” Harvey
said.
While she didn’t actually study counting sheep as a way of overcoming sleeplessness and isn’t
aware of any other studies to do so, Harvey does have an opinion based on her years as a sleep
specialist.

4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
“
Something as ordinary as counting sheep usually does not do the trick,” she said. “As

everyone is different and not one option is going to help every single time, we have worked out a
menu of options with people.”

4. Which of the following statement will Martin Ford disagree with?
A. All creative jobs are not safe from AI.
A March report from Goldman Sachs estimated that AI capable of content generation could
do a quarter of all the work currently done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the
report further notes, 300 million jobs could be lost to automation.
B. Graphic designers tend to be affected.
C. Problem-solving jobs will remain unaffected.
Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The experts issue their warnings with a relief: there are still
things AI isn’t capable of — tasks that involve distinctly human qualities, like emotional
intelligence and outside-the-box thinking.
D. Jobs focusing on repetitive tasks will still have a place.
5. What is the author’s attitude towards the potential job loss caused by AI?
3
A. Optimistic.
C. Indifferent
B. Pessimistic.
D. Uncertain.
“
I think there are generally three categories that will remain unaffected in the coming
future.” says Martin Ford, a related author. “The first would be jobs that are genuinely creative:
you’re not engaged in repetitive work or just rearranging things, but you’re genuinely coming up
with new ideas and building something new.”

That doesn’t necessarily mean all jobs that are considered “creative” are safe. In fact, things
like graphic design and visual art-related roles may be among the first to go. Basic algorithms can
direct a robot to analyze millions of images, allowing AI to rapidly acquire a sense of beauty. “But
there’s some security in other kinds of creativity, in science, and medicine and law people whose
job is coming up with a new legal strategy or business strategy.” says Ford.

The Changing Landscape of the Music Business
The music industry is in the process of a great change. In the past decades, artists have made
money through physical sales of records, CDs, and cassettes. While in recent years, downloading songs
from services such as Amazon or iTunes has become the most common way for people to purchase
music, and the whole idea of buying music to own may be falling. To take its place are Internet apps
“
The second category,” he continues, “is jobs that require complicated interpersonal
relationships.” He points to nurses, business consultants and investigative journalists. “These are
jobs to interact in the kinds of ways that really build relationships.” he says.
that stream music directly to listeners on their smartphones , tablets, or computers.

While
this is great for fans, who now have access to millions of songs at the flick of a touchscreen, it has
shattered(打破) the traditional model of how an artist manages his or her career.
“
The third safe zone is jobs that really require lots of mobility and problem-solving ability in
unpredictable environments.” says Ford. Many trade jobs — think electricians, plumbers, engineers
and where you need a very deep understanding of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has
the ability the like — fall under this umbrella. “These are the kinds of jobs where you’re dealing
with a new situation all the time.” he adds.
