A
Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines. Including robots, will take over work now done by humans. These findings come from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington DC．
About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives.
Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person.
Most Americans want the government to limit automation, For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver s scat who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said,
Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts, His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates,
Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world. He said in his speech that 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon, and millions of people built, the Hoover Dam as well as other great projects over the last 100 years.
1、What do Americans think of technology?
A．Useful.
B．Effective
C．Dangerous.
D．Undependable.
2、Which of the following do the majority of Americans want the government to do?
A．Use machines to do dangerous and harmful jobs.
B．Increase job chances by introducing machines
C．Select a person for a job by computer.
D．Get rid of all driverless vehicles.
3、What did Zuckerberg encourage the students to do?
A．Refuse self-driving vehicles.
B．Create new job chances.
C．Consider large projects.
D．Fight against robots.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．New Technology Creates More Jobs
B．New Technology Makes New Unfairness
C．Americans Worry Robots Will Take Jobs
D．Robots Make Work Easy to Do for Workers.

B
Ask any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and you’ll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like they’re talking about a person they know.
In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didn’t. After examining, researchers found the readers’ brains showed heightened connectivity (连通性) in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like a muscle memory. So even after you’ve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.
It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情作用的), because fiction is a simulation (模仿) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading --- as compared to people who weren’t taken by the story or who read non-fiction---displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.
Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different from one’s own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite --- a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall.
Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.”
1、What is implied in the Paragraph 2?
A．Reading novels is just a waste of time.
B．Reading novels can help people become happy.
C．Reading novels increases connectivity in our brain.
D．Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.
2、What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?
A．They tend to be emotional in social experiences.
B．They understand the emotions of people better.
C．They like to talk about their favorite characters.
D．They are more sensitive to everything.
3、What’s the effect of watching TV or movies?
A．It distinguishes your views from those of others.
B．It contributes to your cognitive development.
C．It reduces your empathy for others a lot.
D．It changes your overall mental states.
4、What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Preference. B．Authority.
C．Exposure. D．Evaluation.
