Many f us are lnelier than ever. We can g shpping and avid speaking t a single persn. Autmated vices n phnes and machines suck the cntact and relatinal element ut f day-t-day life, s much s that experts say that we are experiencing a lneliness disease.
Accrding t Dr. Lalitaa, lneliness is the feeling we get when ur need fr rewarding scial cntact and relatinships is nt met. But lneliness is nt always the same as being alne. Lneliness is a state f mind linked t wanting human cntact but feeling alne. Peple can be alne and nt feel lnely, r they can have cntact with peple and still experience feelings f lneliness.
Lneliness is a universal human emtin that is bth cmplex and unique t each individual. There are many cntributing factrs t lneliness, such as illness, relatinships breaking dwn, mving cuntry, changing jbs r nt being understd by c-wrkers, retiring, starting university, etc.
We cannt underestimate the impact lneliness can have n ur physical and mental wellbeing. Accrding t research, lneliness has cmparable health risks t smking 15cigarettes a day, and peple wh feel lnely are mre likely t die earlier and suffer frm heart attacks. Dr. Lalitaa says, “Peple ften say t me, ‘It's t late t meet new peple as an adult.’ Having human cnnectin can lk different fr each persn, but this can becme a blck, stpping them ging ut, trying new things and cnnecting with new peple. Remember, it is never t late t make gd, meaningful cnnectins.”
Hwever, dn't put pressure n yurself. A meaningful relatinship takes time. It is nt just created vernight. Als, take sme time t sit with yurself and venture(冒险) int sme f the things that yu like ding. “The first thing I wuld say is nt t deny r distance the feeling. Acknwledge it and then yu can chse t fcus n ways t help yurself,” says Dr. Lalitaa.
28. Hw des the authr clarify what lneliness is?
A. By making cmparisns. B. By giving examples.
C. By stating arguments. D. By emplying figures.
29. Why is smking cigarettes mentined in the text?
A. T explain the causes f lneliness.
B. T emphasize the universality f lneliness.
C. T verestimate the impact f lneliness.
D. T illustrate the harm frm lneliness.
30. What des the underlined wrd “this” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Lack f appealing reward.B. The idea f being t late fr new relatins.
C. The regret fr the passing yuth.D. Dependence n the netwrk.
31. What des Dr. Lalitaa cnsider as pririty when dealing with lneliness?

Whether r nt artificial intelligence (AI) will be able t utperfrm human intelligence -- and hw sn that culd happen -- is a cmmn questin fueled by descriptins f AI in ppular culture. Key t this cmparisn is a clear understanding f “intelligence”.
One cmmn definitin describes as the ability f smene r smething t achieve gals in a wide variety f envirnments. We can cmpare hw well cmputers and humans are able t meet this definitin.
Cmputers start with many advantages. They have better memries, they can quickly gather infrmatin frm numerus digital surces, they can wrk cntinuusly withut the need fr sleep, they dn’t make mathematical errrs, and they are better at multitasking and thinking several steps ahead than humans. This makes them superir t humans at achieving sme gals, such as calculating cmplex mathematical prblems r srting thrugh large amunts f data. Hwever, mst AI systems are specialized fr very specific applicatins.
Humans, n the ther hand, can use imaginatin and intuitin (直觉) when appraching new tasks in new situatins. This makes humans mre readily able t apply their intelligence t a variety f envirnments, such as walking alng unfamiliar trails. This is smething machines ften struggle with.
Intelligence can als be defined in ther ways, such as the pssessin f a grup f advantages, including the ability t reasn, represent knwledge, plan, learn, and cmmunicate. Many AI systems pssess sme f these traits, but n system has yet acquired them all.
As AI systems grw mre sphisticated, they may becme better at translating capabilities t different situatins the way humans can. Theretically, this culd result in artificial intelligence that transcends human intelligence. The term “singularity” is smetimes used t describe a situatin in which an AI system develps agency and grws beynd human ability t cntrl it. S far, experts cntinue t debate when–and whether–this is likely t ccur.
32. The authr intrduces the definitins f intelligence t ______.
A. bring in the tpicB. change the understanding f AI
C. help explain the issueD. crrect peple’s wrng view f intelligence
33. In which aspect are humans superir t cmputers?
A. Cllecting and memrizing data.B. Dealing with new prblems flexibly.
C. Handling many tasks at the same time.D. Creating new tasks in varius situatins.
34. Hw des the authr develp this passage?
A. By giving examples.B. By quting experts’ pinins.
C. By making cmparisns.D. By presenting research findings.
35. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. AI Era Causes Cncerns abut Intelligence
B. Definitin f Intelligence Varies in Many Ways
C. Can Human Beings Cntrl Artificial Intelligence Frever?
D. Will Machines Becme Mre Intelligent Than Humans?
