Restaurants, cafes and the like are fr eating and drinking, right?
That’s a n-brainer, yu say? That’s yur natural reactin, I’d say. Nw, think. Rewind yur mind. What d yu recall? Aren’t restaurants and cafes the new temples f learning?
Fr yungsters, trendy cafes are the new meeting pints, jint-study centers. What yu witness is small grups reading-writing, eating-sipping, brwsing-dwnlading, cpying-pasting, banding-bnding. Yungsters are at it day after day, as if there’s n tmrrw, as if they are in a race against time t uplad as much knwledge as pssible int their brains. It wasn’t like this befre. Previus generatins f students wuld visit cafes fr cffee, tea, sft drinks r snacks, maybe share a bit f gd-natured jkes with their ”gang“ members.
Fr exam-related study there were quiet areas in city libraries r the cllege library.
Back in my hmetwn during the late ‘80s and the early ‘90s, a handful f my classmates and I wuld gather at ur hmes, taking turns, in the run-up t key exams. During such ”night-uts“, we wuld study, exchange ntes, share insights, brainstrm t slve tricky prblems, anticipate test questins, and prepare accrdingly. Nt infrequently, we wuld discuss sprts events, mvies, film stars and, f curse, girls.
Digital-age kids d it differently nw. Why? I can nly guess. The fremst reasn is free Wi-Fi and all that it ffers. The envirnment at institutinal libraries may nt be t millennials’(千禧一代的)liking. Or, is it big pcket mney r salary earned frm part-time jbs? Maybe, just a generatinal thing, a lifestyle trend, r the result f the single-child system.
One f my yunger clleagues, a business jurnalist, last mnth married her childhd sweetheart, a heart surgen, and, she tld me, it all started back at schl. S, the restaurants and bars prmte real-life interactins, s imprtant when addictin t nline scial media is seen making yuth unsciable.

Anthill Plastics Grup, in Clearwater, Flrida, recently welcmed a new team member. On his first day rutine he perfrmed the repetitive tasks required f him with flexibility, cperating cmfrtably alngside emplyees. Sawyer is ne f the fleet f rbts nw labring in the wrld’s factries. Sme earlier industrial rbts have been created t displace peple. Instead, Sawyer is a cllabrative rbt, als knwn as a “c-bt”.
Direct interactin between rbts and humans at wrk is changing the face f manufacturing. Such interactin als means that rbticists need t design effective teammates as well as efficient wrkers. C-bts perate in a field where human thughts, human mdes f cmmunicatin and human safety are paramunt (首要的). Rethink Rbtics, a firm in Bstn, had this in mind when it develped Sawyer, a ne-armed c-bt, and his tw-armed clleague, Baxter, with cameras and tuch sensrs. And their mst nticeable feature is a screen that displays cartnlike human facial elements. Such faces are nt meant t please wrkers (thugh they d). They are, rather, in-tended t prmte cmmunicatin between humans and machines.
Then there is a basic precautin. If the rbt detects frce tpping a safe level, it stps mving instantly, t ensure there is n risk f injury t anyne. T much f this stp-start can, hwever, lwer efficiency. Researchers f Rethink Rbtics have fund, by tracking in detail human mvements such as the relatinship between shulders and elbws, r the swing f the bdy, that they can predict where a rbt shuld avid being next, if it is t avid human cntact.
Rethink Rbtics are als lking at safety-in their case by creating rbts with sfter tp layers. Sfter materials nt nly prvide greater flexibility fr the c-bts when grasping, but als lessen the risk f injury when incidental cntact is made between humans and rbts. Hw lng, if ever, it will be befre such rbts truly match the marketing slgan f the Sirius Cybernetics Crpratin, a fictinal firm in Duglas Adams’s creatin, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide t the Galaxy”, remains t be seen. But even if nt actually fun t be with, yur plastic pal will becme increasingly effective.
8. Why was Sawyer invented accrding t paragraph 1?
A. T wrk with human wrkers.B. T deal with the repetitive tasks.
C. T enable wrkers t wrk flexibly.D. T replace the lngtime emplyees.
9. What can be inferred frm paragraph 2?
A. Baxter is an updated c-bt.B. Rbts have cartnlike human faces.
C. C-bts are designed fr efficient wrkers.D. Human-centered needs are c-bts’ pririty.
10. Which f the fllwing will result in decreasing c-bts’ efficiency?
A. Tracking human mvements.B. Predicting a lwer risk nearby.
C. Cnstantly stp t avid ptential risks.D. Frequently physical cntact with humans.
11. What is the authr’s attitude twards c-bts?
A. Tlerant.B. Ambiguus.C. Appreciative.D. Disapprving.

Scientists have transfused lab-made red bld cells int a human vlunteer in a wrld-first trial that experts say has majr ptential fr peple with hard-t-match bld types r cnditins such as sickle cell (镰状细胞) disease. The research culd smeday mean an end t lng searches fr cmpatible (兼容的) dnrs r dangerus transfusin reactins.
The experimental transfusin was dne at Addenbrke’s Hspital in Cambridge, England, as part f a cllabrative (合作的) effrt amng UK scientists t understand hw lab-made bld transfusins culd wrk.
The scientists tk whle bld frm dnrs in a UK database and separated ut the stem cells. These are the bdy’s raw materials — the cells frm which all specialized cells, like a red bld cell, can generate. The researchers grew red bld cells frm thse stem cells and transfused them int tw healthy vlunteers. The transfusins invlved nly a tiny amunt f bld: the equivalent f ne r tw teaspns. A standard bld transfusin wuld invlve many hundred times that amunt. This stage f the trial invlves tw mini transfusins at least fur mnths apart, ne with a standard dnatin f red cells and the ther with lab-made cells frm the same dnr.
The researchers are clsely mnitring the vlunteers t determine whether the prcess was safe. They say there have been with “n side effects” s far. They’re als watching hw lng the lab-grwn cells last cmpared with an infusin (灌输) f standard red bld cells. Red bld cells typically last abut 120 days, but a transfusin frm a standard dnatin cntains cells that are a variety f ages because the bne marrw (骨髓) cntinuusly makes these cells.
Previus tests have shwn that manufactured cells functin like nrmal cells and that these lab-made cells are likely t survive lnger verall while in circulatin. This study will determine fr the first time whether that’s true. Further trials will be necessary t determine whether there culd be a clinical use f this lab-grwn prduct.
The research culd eventually make a difference t peple with sickle cell disease, thse wh develp antibdies (抗体) against mst dnr bld types, r thse with genetic disrders in which their bdy can’t make red bld cells r the bld cells they make dn’t wrk well.
12. What functin is expected f the lab-made red bld cells transfusin?
A. It may make it easier t get bld dnrs.
B. It may grw red bld cells frm the stem cells.
C. It may end the dangerus transfusin reactins.
D. It may develp antibdies against many dnr bld types.
13. What can be inferred abut the experimental prcedure?
A. It is widely cnsidered nt safe despite many experiments.
B. The tw mini transfusins shuldn’t be carried ut clsely tgether.
C. The researchers transfused stem cells int vlunteers t mnitr them.
D. A standard bld transfusin nly need t invlve a tiny amunt f bld.
14. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE?
A. The prcess f lab-made bld transfusins prves safe s far.
B. Lab-made cells survive lnger verall than nrmal cells in circulatin.
C. There are tw mini transfusins with lab-made cells in the experiment.
D. The stem cells, as the bdy’s raw materials, can’t prduce red1 bld cells.
15. What’s the passage mainly abut?
A. A small amunt f bld can make a difference.
B. Lab-made cells utweigh nrmal cells in a transfusin.
C. Lab-made cells can cntribute t bld-related diseases.
D. Lab-made cell transfusins can replace nrmal bld dnatins.

An anxius call came int Jimmy Gilleece’s bar. A newly married wman, wh had spent the afternn at the bar, culdn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care abut her ID, credit cards, r $150 in cash—but her wedding ring was inside.
Gilleece didn’t like the idea that a theft culd have ccurred at his place. S he set ut t find the wallet. He spent hurs lking thrugh security-camera vides, watching the wman’s every step in the bar until she went t sit n a chair utside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a yung man apprached the bench, slipped smething int his pcket, and walked ff. Gilleece psted a clip (剪辑) n the bar’s Facebk page. “I didn’t want t punish him,” he said. “I just asked if anybdy knew wh the guy was.”
Within hurs, Gilleece gt a text frm 17-year-ld Prather, wh admitted having taken the wallet and tld Gilleece he’d dne it because he hadn’t eaten in tw days. He said he saw the ring but thught it was fake(假的), s he tk the mney and threw the wallet ff the dck (码头) int the cean. Then he bught a sandwich.
Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, tld the teen t meet him at the dck, where they gt talking and Prather revealed that he wasn’t getting alng with his family and had been living in the wds fr a week. Judging frm Prather’s small bdy and red cheeks, Gilleece saw him fr what he was: mre f a kid than a criminal.
But the plice were already n the case, and because f the missing ring, Prather culd be facing charges. “He wuld be ging t big by prisn. I have t help him smehw,” Gilleece thught.

Scientists have transfused lab-made red bld cells int a human vlunteer in a wrld-first trial that experts say has majr ptential fr peple with hard-t-match bld types r cnditins such as sickle cell (镰状细胞) disease. The research culd smeday mean an end t lng searches fr cmpatible (兼容的) dnrs r dangerus transfusin reactins.
The experimental transfusin was dne at Addenbrke’s Hspital in Cambridge, England, as part f a cllabrative (合作的) effrt amng UK scientists t understand hw lab-made bld transfusins culd wrk.
The scientists tk whle bld frm dnrs in a UK database and separated ut the stem cells. These are the bdy’s raw materials — the cells frm which all specialized cells, like a red bld cell, can generate. The researchers grew red bld cells frm thse stem cells and transfused them int tw healthy vlunteers. The transfusins invlved nly a tiny amunt f bld: the equivalent f ne r tw teaspns. A standard bld transfusin wuld invlve many hundred times that amunt. This stage f the trial invlves tw mini transfusins at least fur mnths apart, ne with a standard dnatin f red cells and the ther with lab-made cells frm the same dnr.
The researchers are clsely mnitring the vlunteers t determine whether the prcess was safe. They say there have been with “n side effects” s far. They’re als watching hw lng the lab-grwn cells last cmpared with an infusin (灌输) f standard red bld cells. Red bld cells typically last abut 120 days, but a transfusin frm a standard dnatin cntains cells that are a variety f ages because the bne marrw (骨髓) cntinuusly makes these cells.
Previus tests have shwn that manufactured cells functin like nrmal cells and that these lab-made cells are likely t survive lnger verall while in circulatin. This study will determine fr the first time whether that’s true. Further trials will be necessary t determine whether there culd be a clinical use f this lab-grwn prduct.
The research culd eventually make a difference t peple with sickle cell disease, thse wh develp antibdies (抗体) against mst dnr bld types, r thse with genetic disrders in which their bdy can’t make red bld cells r the bld cells they make dn’t wrk well.
12. What functin is expected f the lab-made red bld cells transfusin?
A. It may make it easier t get bld dnrs.
B. It may grw red bld cells frm the stem cells.
C. It may end the dangerus transfusin reactins.
D. It may develp antibdies against many dnr bld types.
13. What can be inferred abut the experimental prcedure?
A. It is widely cnsidered nt safe despite many experiments.
B. The tw mini transfusins shuldn’t be carried ut clsely tgether.
C. The researchers transfused stem cells int vlunteers t mnitr them.
D. A standard bld transfusin nly need t invlve a tiny amunt f bld.
14. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE?
A. The prcess f lab-made bld transfusins prves safe s far.
B. Lab-made cells survive lnger verall than nrmal cells in circulatin.
C. There are tw mini transfusins with lab-made cells in the experiment.
D. The stem cells, as the bdy’s raw materials, can’t prduce red1 bld cells.
15. What’s the passage mainly abut?
A. A small amunt f bld can make a difference.
B. Lab-made cells utweigh nrmal cells in a transfusin.
C. Lab-made cells can cntribute t bld-related diseases.
D. Lab-made cell transfusins can replace nrmal bld dnatins.

An anxius call came int Jimmy Gilleece’s bar. A newly married wman, wh had spent the afternn at the bar, culdn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care abut her ID, credit cards, r $150 in cash—but her wedding ring was inside.
Gilleece didn’t like the idea that a theft culd have ccurred at his place. S he set ut t find the wallet. He spent hurs lking thrugh security-camera vides, watching the wman’s every step in the bar until she went t sit n a chair utside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a yung man apprached the bench, slipped smething int his pcket, and walked ff. Gilleece psted a clip (剪辑) n the bar’s Facebk page. “I didn’t want t punish him,” he said. “I just asked if anybdy knew wh the guy was.”
Within hurs, Gilleece gt a text frm 17-year-ld Prather, wh admitted having taken the wallet and tld Gilleece he’d dne it because he hadn’t eaten in tw days. He said he saw the ring but thught it was fake(假的), s he tk the mney and threw the wallet ff the dck (码头) int the cean. Then he bught a sandwich.
Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, tld the teen t meet him at the dck, where they gt talking and Prather revealed that he wasn’t getting alng with his family and had been living in the wds fr a week. Judging frm Prather’s small bdy and red cheeks, Gilleece saw him fr what he was: mre f a kid than a criminal.
But the plice were already n the case, and because f the missing ring, Prather culd be facing charges. “He wuld be ging t big by prisn. I have t help him smehw,” Gilleece thught.
