Dear Charltte,
Fr the first time in my life, I’m making a really gd incme, and s is my husband. We culd be saving a lt mre, but instead we spend it n fun vacatins and nice clthing. I went frm a ten-year-ld Japanese car t a Tesla, and a thrift-stre (二手店) handbag t a super-nice ne frm France. I feel like I’ve becme a new persn I dn’t recgnize. Hw can I g back t being smene wh’s fine with thrift-stre items, instead f this ne with a perfect huse filled with nice things that dn’t matter?
I understand why yu miss yur ld life. It feels gd t live simply and t wrk tward larger financial gals. The prblem, it seems, is that yu never really envisined (设想) the life yu’d lead nce yu actually had mney t spare.
I dubt yu may als be feeling a little bit lnely. Studies have fund that transitining t a higher sciecnmic class can be islating (让人感到孤立的) because it mves peple away frm familiar scial circles and int unfamiliar nes. It’s als tugh t talk abut—having big mney isn’t exactly a “prblem”, nr a situatin that mst peple can relate t.
I suggest an exercise: Write dwn everything yu spend yur mney n, every day, fr a cuple f weeks. Then lk at yur list and fcus n the things that felt wrthwhile and satisfying. In ding this exercise, yu’ll prbably find that spending mney n experiences, especially nes that strengthen yur relatinships, makes yu happier than buying items.
It sunds like yu have sme guilt. That’s nrmal. I dn’t mean that yu shuld feel bad abut having mney. Instead, it’s gd t be aware that yu’ve been lucky—plenty f peple never get t see the fruits f their wrk in the same way that yu have. Amanda Clayman, a financial adviser, recmmends gratitude exercises. “When yu fcus mre n what yu have, it helps yu stay fcused n what’s imprtant t yu, instead f what yu’re missing.” she says.
While yur new life may seem unrecgnizable, that desn’t mean yu’ve lst the gal and drive that gt yu there—yu just need t learn t redirect them.
4. Why des the wman write t Charltte?
A. She lst her purse while shpping.
B. She desn’t knw hw t save mney.
C. She desn’t feel great after becming rich.
D. She has a pr relatinship with her husband.
5. In Charltte’s pinin, what makes the wman lnely?
A. Her small scial circles.
B. Her new financial psitin.
C. Mst peple’s misunderstanding f her.
D. Her family’s mve t an unfamiliar place.
6. Why des Charltte suggest the wman keep a recrd f her wn spending?
A. T let her see what is meaningful t her.
B. T encurage her t be a careful persn.
C. T remind her t value her hard-earned mney.
D. T make her spend mney imprving her relatinships.
7. What des Charltte expect the wman t d?
A. Reflect n her behavir.B. Appreciate what she has.
C. Wrk twards a mre specific gal.D. Find ut where her guilt came frm.
C
Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter f decades, artificial intelligence will be able t d nt merely sme f ur jbs, but all f ur jbs, frever transfrming life n the earth.
The reasn why many peple reject this as science fictin is that we’ve traditinally thught f intelligence as smething mysterius that can nly exist in bilgical rganisms,especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.
Frm my pint f view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind f infrmatin-prcessing perfrmed by elementary particles (基本粒子) mving arund,and there is n law f physics that says ne can’t build machines mre intelligent than us in all ways. This suggests that we’ve nly seen the tip f the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing ptential t unlck the full intelligence that is ptential in nature and use it t help humanity.
If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we lve abut civilizatin is the prduct f intelligence, amplifying ur wn intelligence with AI has the ptential t slve tmrrw’s tughest prblems. Fr example, why risk ur lved nes dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars culd prevent r dying f cancers that AI might help us find cures fr? Why nt increase prductivity thrugh autmatin and use AI t accelerate ur research and develpment f affrdable sustainable (可持续的) energy?
I’m ptimistic that we can develp rapidly with advanced AI as lng as we win the race between the grwing pwer f ur technlgy and the knwledge with which we manage it. But this requires giving up ur utdated cncept f learning frm mistakes. That helped us win the race with less pwerful technlgy. We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we messed up with cars and then invented seat belts. Hwever, it’s an awful idea fr mre pwerful technlgies, such as nuclear weapns r super intelligent AI-where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need t get things right the first time.
8. Hw d many peple feel abut leading AI researchers’ predictins?
A. Wrried.B. Curius.
C. Dubtful.D. Disappinted.
9. What des the authr think f intelligence?
A. We knw little abut it.B. It belngs t human beings.
C. It is t difficult t understand.D. We have a gd cmmand f it.
10. What des the underlined wrd “upside” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Cst.B. Ptential.
C. Quantity.D. Advantage.
11. What’s imprtant fr us in the race between peple and technlgy?
A. Learning frm failure.B. Increasing ur intelligence.
C. Aviding making mistakes.D. Making accurate predictins.

In times f ecnmic crisis. Americans turn t their families fr supprt. If the Great Depressin is any guide, we may see a drp in ur skyhigh divrce (离婚) rate. But this wn’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. In the lng run, the Depressin weakened American families, and the current crisis will prbably d the same.
We tend t think f the Depressin as a time when families pulled tgether t survive huge jb lsses, By 1932. when nearly ne-quarter f the wrkfrce was unemplyed, the divrce rate had declined by arund 25% frm 1929. But this desn’t mean peple were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incmes decreasing and insecure jbs, unhappy cuples ften culdn’t affrd t divrce. They feared neither spuse (配偶) culd manage alne.
Tday, given the jb lsses f the past year, fewer unhappy cuples will risk starting separate husehlds. Furthermre, the husing market meltdwn will make it mre difficult fr them t finance their separatins by selling their hmes.
After financial disasters, family members als tend t d whatever they can t help each ther and their cmmunities. A 1940 bk, The Unemplyed Man and His Family, described a family in which the husband initially reacted t lsing his jb “with tireless search fr wrk.” He was always active, lking fr dd jbs t d.
The prblem is that such an impulse is hard t sustain. Acrss the cuntry, many similar families were unable t maintain the initial bst in mrale (士气). Fr sme, the hardships f life withut steady wrk eventually verwhelmed their attempts t keep their families tgether. The divrce rate rse again during the rest f the decade as the recvery tk hld.
Millins f American families may nw be in the initial stage f their respnses t the current crisis, wrking tgether and supprting ne anther thrugh the early mnths f unemplyment.
Tday’s ecnmic crisis culd well generate a similar number f cuples whse relatinships have been irreparably (无法弥补地)ruined. S it’s nly when the ecnmy is healthy again that we’ll begin t see just hw many brken families have been created.
12. In the initial stage, the current ecnmic crisis is likely t ________.
A. tear many trubled families apart
B. cntribute t enduring family ties
C. bring abut a drp in the divrce rate
D. cause a lt f cnflicts in the family
13. In the Great Depressin many unhappy cuples clse t stick tgether because ________.
A. starting a new family wuld be hard
B. they expected things wuld turn better
C. they wanted t better prtect their kids
D. living separately wuld be t cstly
14. In additin t jb lsses, what stands in the way f unhappy cuples getting a divrce?
A. Munting family debtsB. A sense f insecurity
C. Difficulty in getting a lanD. Falling husing prices
15. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. The ecnmic recvery will see a higher divrce rate.
B. Few cuples can stand the test f ecnmic hardships.
C. A stable family is the best prtectin against pverty.
D. Mney is the fundatin f many a happy marriage.

Lsing a parent is ne f the mst painful parts f life. N matter hw ld we are when they leave us, it can be a heartbrken experience.

Dear Charltte,
Fr the first time in my life, I’m making a really gd incme, and s is my husband. We culd be saving a lt mre, but instead we spend it n fun vacatins and nice clthing. I went frm a ten-year-ld Japanese car t a Tesla, and a thrift-stre (二手店) handbag t a super-nice ne frm France. I feel like I’ve becme a new persn I dn’t recgnize. Hw can I g back t being smene wh’s fine with thrift-stre items, instead f this ne with a perfect huse filled with nice things that dn’t matter?
I understand why yu miss yur ld life. It feels gd t live simply and t wrk tward larger financial gals. The prblem, it seems, is that yu never really envisined (设想) the life yu’d lead nce yu actually had mney t spare.
I dubt yu may als be feeling a little bit lnely. Studies have fund that transitining t a higher sciecnmic class can be islating (让人感到孤立的) because it mves peple away frm familiar scial circles and int unfamiliar nes. It’s als tugh t talk abut—having big mney isn’t exactly a “prblem”, nr a situatin that mst peple can relate t.
I suggest an exercise: Write dwn everything yu spend yur mney n, every day, fr a cuple f weeks. Then lk at yur list and fcus n the things that felt wrthwhile and satisfying. In ding this exercise, yu’ll prbably find that spending mney n experiences, especially nes that strengthen yur relatinships, makes yu happier than buying items.
It sunds like yu have sme guilt. That’s nrmal. I dn’t mean that yu shuld feel bad abut having mney. Instead, it’s gd t be aware that yu’ve been lucky—plenty f peple never get t see the fruits f their wrk in the same way that yu have. Amanda Clayman, a financial adviser, recmmends gratitude exercises. “When yu fcus mre n what yu have, it helps yu stay fcused n what’s imprtant t yu, instead f what yu’re missing.” she says.
While yur new life may seem unrecgnizable, that desn’t mean yu’ve lst the gal and drive that gt yu there—yu just need t learn t redirect them.
4. Why des the wman write t Charltte?
A. She lst her purse while shpping.
B. She desn’t knw hw t save mney.
C. She desn’t feel great after becming rich.
D. She has a pr relatinship with her husband.
5. In Charltte’s pinin, what makes the wman lnely?
A. Her small scial circles.
B. Her new financial psitin.
C. Mst peple’s misunderstanding f her.
D. Her family’s mve t an unfamiliar place.
6. Why des Charltte suggest the wman keep a recrd f her wn spending?
A. T let her see what is meaningful t her.
B. T encurage her t be a careful persn.
C. T remind her t value her hard-earned mney.
D. T make her spend mney imprving her relatinships.
7. What des Charltte expect the wman t d?
A. Reflect n her behavir.B. Appreciate what she has.
C. Wrk twards a mre specific gal.D. Find ut where her guilt came frm.

Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter f decades, artificial intelligence will be able t d nt merely sme f ur jbs, but all f ur jbs, frever transfrming life n the earth.
The reasn why many peple reject this as science fictin is that we’ve traditinally thught f intelligence as smething mysterius that can nly exist in bilgical rganisms,especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.
Frm my pint f view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind f infrmatin-prcessing perfrmed by elementary particles (基本粒子) mving arund,and there is n law f physics that says ne can’t build machines mre intelligent than us in all ways. This suggests that we’ve nly seen the tip f the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing ptential t unlck the full intelligence that is ptential in nature and use it t help humanity.
If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we lve abut civilizatin is the prduct f intelligence, amplifying ur wn intelligence with AI has the ptential t slve tmrrw’s tughest prblems. Fr example, why risk ur lved nes dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars culd prevent r dying f cancers that AI might help us find cures fr? Why nt increase prductivity thrugh autmatin and use AI t accelerate ur research and develpment f affrdable sustainable (可持续的) energy?
I’m ptimistic that we can develp rapidly with advanced AI as lng as we win the race between the grwing pwer f ur technlgy and the knwledge with which we manage it. But this requires giving up ur utdated cncept f learning frm mistakes. That helped us win the race with less pwerful technlgy. We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we messed up with cars and then invented seat belts. Hwever, it’s an awful idea fr mre pwerful technlgies, such as nuclear weapns r super intelligent AI-where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need t get things right the first time.
8. Hw d many peple feel abut leading AI researchers’ predictins?
A. Wrried.B. Curius.
C. Dubtful.D. Disappinted.
9. What des the authr think f intelligence?
A. We knw little abut it.B. It belngs t human beings.
C. It is t difficult t understand.D. We have a gd cmmand f it.
10. What des the underlined wrd “upside” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Cst.B. Ptential.
C. Quantity.D. Advantage.
11. What’s imprtant fr us in the race between peple and technlgy?
A. Learning frm failure.B. Increasing ur intelligence.
C. Aviding making mistakes.D. Making accurate predictins.

In times f ecnmic crisis. Americans turn t their families fr supprt. If the Great Depressin is any guide, we may see a drp in ur skyhigh divrce (离婚) rate. But this wn’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. In the lng run, the Depressin weakened American families, and the current crisis will prbably d the same.
We tend t think f the Depressin as a time when families pulled tgether t survive huge jb lsses, By 1932. when nearly ne-quarter f the wrkfrce was unemplyed, the divrce rate had declined by arund 25% frm 1929. But this desn’t mean peple were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incmes decreasing and insecure jbs, unhappy cuples ften culdn’t affrd t divrce. They feared neither spuse (配偶) culd manage alne.
Tday, given the jb lsses f the past year, fewer unhappy cuples will risk starting separate husehlds. Furthermre, the husing market meltdwn will make it mre difficult fr them t finance their separatins by selling their hmes.
After financial disasters, family members als tend t d whatever they can t help each ther and their cmmunities. A 1940 bk, The Unemplyed Man and His Family, described a family in which the husband initially reacted t lsing his jb “with tireless search fr wrk.” He was always active, lking fr dd jbs t d.
The prblem is that such an impulse is hard t sustain. Acrss the cuntry, many similar families were unable t maintain the initial bst in mrale (士气). Fr sme, the hardships f life withut steady wrk eventually verwhelmed their attempts t keep their families tgether. The divrce rate rse again during the rest f the decade as the recvery tk hld.
Millins f American families may nw be in the initial stage f their respnses t the current crisis, wrking tgether and supprting ne anther thrugh the early mnths f unemplyment.
Tday’s ecnmic crisis culd well generate a similar number f cuples whse relatinships have been irreparably (无法弥补地)ruined. S it’s nly when the ecnmy is healthy again that we’ll begin t see just hw many brken families have been created.
12. In the initial stage, the current ecnmic crisis is likely t ________.
A. tear many trubled families apart
B. cntribute t enduring family ties
C. bring abut a drp in the divrce rate
D. cause a lt f cnflicts in the family
13. In the Great Depressin many unhappy cuples clse t stick tgether because ________.
A. starting a new family wuld be hard
B. they expected things wuld turn better
C. they wanted t better prtect their kids
D. living separately wuld be t cstly
14. In additin t jb lsses, what stands in the way f unhappy cuples getting a divrce?
A. Munting family debtsB. A sense f insecurity
C. Difficulty in getting a lanD. Falling husing prices
15. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. The ecnmic recvery will see a higher divrce rate.
B. Few cuples can stand the test f ecnmic hardships.
C. A stable family is the best prtectin against pverty.
D. Mney is the fundatin f many a happy marriage.
