Sargassum is nt dangerus, but it has an unpleasant smell and can becme s thick that it keeps peple frm entering the water.

Experts say there culd be as much as 100 tns f sargassum blcking Mexican shrelines in 2023.
With turism dllars at risk, fficials and lcals alike were eager t remve the seaweed, but nly Omar saw its true ptential. The prfessinal gardener rganized a beach cleanup that prvided jbs fr abut 300 lcal families, but he knew there was mre t d. Since peple’s attitude twards the seaweed reminded him f his wn life experiences, he decided t becme an agent (推动者) fr change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyne was cmplaining. “I wanted t make smething gd ut f smething everyne saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar fund a way t turn sargassum int building blcks that he calls Sargablck. He creates these blcks by mixing 40% sargassum with ther materials like clay, then putting them in a blck-frming machine and baking them in the sun fr days. The end result is an rganic, sustainable, and eclgically friendly building material that experts say culd last fr 120 years.
T date, Omar’s cmpany, Bluegreen Mexic, has used 700 tns f sargassum t build lw-incme husing fr thse in need. Omar said he wuld take n mre prjects, and dnate mre huses t single mthers like his wn mm.

With artificial intelligence (AI) and rbtic technlgy imprving at impressive rates, there are sme wh wrry that there’s a risk f artistic and creative peple being replaced. A new study by the Krean Institute f Industrial Technlgy, hwever, is shwing exactly why that can’t and shuldn’t happen. It all started when the Suth Krean cmpany psed this questin: Can rbts replace cnductrs?
Over a year ag, wrk t develp autmatn (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up t expectatins. Then the cmpany sught ways t imprve it. In the end, it was given tw arms with jints t cpy wrists and elbws, allwing it t mve a stick similarly t hw a human cnductr wuld mve it. It was named the EverR 6 rbt, and stands at 1.8 meters. It was finally time t figure ut hw it culd fllw thrugh n its musical rle.
“We gt invlved in this prject t see hw far rbts can g in mre creative fields like the arts, and what the challenges are,” Dng-w k Lee, a senir researcher at the Krean Institute f Industrial Technlgy said.
In rder t pull this ff, Dng-wk Lee cperated with the Busan Philharmnic Orchestra. The 12-minute piece they planned t perfrm, “Feel” by Il-hn Sn, was created specifically fr this event. It was created with the strengths f bth EverR 6 and the human cnductr, S-yel Chi, in mind.
T pull ff this impressive perfrmance, the rbt was preprgrammed t cnduct thrugh 30 cycles f beat patterns. Meanwhile, it was up t the human cnductr t lead the rchestra in creating an imprvisatinal (即兴的) scre, adding depth t the therwise planned piece.
Tgether, they pulled ff a masterful perfrmance that the audience seemed mre than happy t have had the pprtunity t witness it firsthand!
With the cncert having gne s well, this is nly the start f EverR 6. Still, n matter the imprvements they’re able t make t this Andrid rbt, the human cnductr isn’t cncerned abut being replaced.
“Let’s leave the accuracy t the rbts,” S-yel Chi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects t a human cnductr.”
8．What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The functin f the EverR 6 rbt.
B. The develpment f the EverR 6 rbt.
C. The EverR 6 rbt’s rle as a cnductr.
D. The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 rbt.
9．What can be learned abut “Feel”?
A. It is a piece familiar t the audience.
B. It is a piece shwing the human-rbt cperatin.
C. It is the nly piece that EverR 6 will perfrm.
D. It is a piece requiring great ability t cnduct.
10．What rle did S-yel Chi play in the perfrmance?
A. He crrected the rbt’s mistakes.
B. He prgrammed the EverR 6 rbt.
C. He led the imprvisatinal sectin f the perfrmance.
D. He was the main cnductr f the Busan Philharmnic Orchestra.
11．What is S-yel Chi’s attitude twards EverR 6?
A. Unclear.B. Uncaring.C. Supprtive.D. Dubtful.
“What beautiful music!” I shut ludly as my 9-year-ld sn practices playing the vilin. He’s used t this praise; I give rewards like that mst days. But every nce in a while, I skip it, and when I d, I can see the disappintment n his face when he’s finished.
Am I a bad mm? Cnventinal wisdm says that cnsistency is key t parenting since it enables yur child t predict hw yu’ll react, leading t gd behavir. And it’s true that children need sme level f predictability in their lives, particularly when it cmes t discipline.
But research suggests that incnsistent gifts and praise can have a greater effect n mtivatin. While we all like t live in a predictable wrld, we ften respnd mre strngly t unpredictable rewards.
In ne experiment, my clleagues and I tld participants they’d be paid if they culd drink abut ne-and-a-half quarts f water in tw minutes r less. In ne cnditin, we ffered peple a $2 fixed reward. In anther, there was an uncertain reward f either $2 r $1. The certain reward was a better deal, yet many mre peple successfully met the challenge when assigned an uncertain reward. Reslving the uncertainty—whether they wuld win $1 r $2—was significantly mre mtivating than winning $2 fr sure.
Here is ne f the reasns why uncertainty is mtivating. What scientists call “intermittent (间歇性) reinfrcement” —rewarding behavir n sme but nt all ccasins—makes it mre arduus t knw when rewards will shw up. If yu very ften, but dn’t always, praise yur child fr cmpleting their chres, they’ll keep up the gd behavir in the hpe f receiving praise the next time.
S dn’t assume that if kids are always praised fr finishing their hmewrk, they’ll be mre likely t d it. D praise yung peple fr a jb well dne, just nt every time. And pick rewards ut f a hat when they cmplete chres—the surprise prize might keep everyne mtivated t get things dne.
12．Why des the authr mentin her kid’s stry in the first paragraph?
A. T display the cnclusin f her research.
B. T shw that her kid is very smart.
C. T explain that she is a gd mm.
D. T lead in the tpic.
13．Why did mre participants chse an uncertain reward in the experiment?
A. It was mre inspiring.B. It was mre demanding.
C. It was fair t all participants.D. It was easy t get mre rewards.
14．What des the underlined wrd “arduus” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Cnvenient.B. Ppular.C. Flexible.D. Difficult.
15．What is the best title fr the text?
A. Why Cnsistency Is Critical t Parenting
B. Why Reslving Uncertainty Is Rewarding

Sargassum is nt dangerus, but it has an unpleasant smell and can becme s thick that it keeps peple frm entering the water. Mexic has experienced recrd-setting amunts f the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way t Flrida’s beaches as well. Experts say there culd be as much as 100 tns f sargassum blcking Mexican shrelines in 2023.
With turism dllars at risk, fficials and lcals alike were eager t remve the seaweed, but nly Omar saw its true ptential.

Since peple’s attitude twards the seaweed reminded him f his wn life experiences, he decided t becme an agent (推动者) fr change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyne was cmplaining. “I wanted t make smething gd ut f smething everyne saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar fund a way t turn sargassum int building blcks that he calls Sargablck. He creates these blcks by mixing 40% sargassum with ther materials like clay, then putting them in a blck-frming machine and baking them in the sun fr days. The end result is an rganic, sustainable, and eclgically friendly building material that experts say culd last fr 120 years.
T date, Omar’s cmpany, Bluegreen Mexic, has used 700 tns f sargassum t build lw-incme husing fr thse in need. Omar said he wuld take n mre prjects, and dnate mre huses t single mthers like his wn mm.

With artificial intelligence (AI) and rbtic technlgy imprving at impressive rates, there are sme wh wrry that there’s a risk f artistic and creative peple being replaced. A new study by the Krean Institute f Industrial Technlgy, hwever, is shwing exactly why that can’t and shuldn’t happen. It all started when the Suth Krean cmpany psed this questin: Can rbts replace cnductrs?
Over a year ag, wrk t develp autmatn (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up t expectatins. Then the cmpany sught ways t imprve it. In the end, it was given tw arms with jints t cpy wrists and elbws, allwing it t mve a stick similarly t hw a human cnductr wuld mve it. It was named the EverR 6 rbt, and stands at 1.8 meters. It was finally time t figure ut hw it culd fllw thrugh n its musical rle.
“We gt invlved in this prject t see hw far rbts can g in mre creative fields like the arts, and what the challenges are,” Dng-w k Lee, a senir researcher at the Krean Institute f Industrial Technlgy said.
In rder t pull this ff, Dng-wk Lee cperated with the Busan Philharmnic Orchestra. The 12-minute piece they planned t perfrm, “Feel” by Il-hn Sn, was created specifically fr this event. It was created with the strengths f bth EverR 6 and the human cnductr, S-yel Chi, in mind.
T pull ff this impressive perfrmance, the rbt was preprgrammed t cnduct thrugh 30 cycles f beat patterns. Meanwhile, it was up t the human cnductr t lead the rchestra in creating an imprvisatinal (即兴的) scre, adding depth t the therwise planned piece.
Tgether, they pulled ff a masterful perfrmance that the audience seemed mre than happy t have had the pprtunity t witness it firsthand!
With the cncert having gne s well, this is nly the start f EverR 6. Still, n matter the imprvements they’re able t make t this Andrid rbt, the human cnductr isn’t cncerned abut being replaced.
“Let’s leave the accuracy t the rbts,” S-yel Chi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects t a human cnductr.”
8．What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The functin f the EverR 6 rbt.
B. The develpment f the EverR 6 rbt.
C. The EverR 6 rbt’s rle as a cnductr.
D. The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 rbt.
9．What can be learned abut “Feel”?
A. It is a piece familiar t the audience.
B. It is a piece shwing the human-rbt cperatin.
C. It is the nly piece that EverR 6 will perfrm.
D. It is a piece requiring great ability t cnduct.
10．What rle did S-yel Chi play in the perfrmance?
A. He crrected the rbt’s mistakes.
B. He prgrammed the EverR 6 rbt.
C. He led the imprvisatinal sectin f the perfrmance.
D. He was the main cnductr f the Busan Philharmnic Orchestra.
11．What is S-yel Chi’s attitude twards EverR 6?
A. Unclear.B. Uncaring.C. Supprtive.D. Dubtful.
“What beautiful music!” I shut ludly as my 9-year-ld sn practices playing the vilin. He’s used t this praise; I give rewards like that mst days. But every nce in a while, I skip it, and when I d, I can see the disappintment n his face when he’s finished.
Am I a bad mm? Cnventinal wisdm says that cnsistency is key t parenting since it enables yur child t predict hw yu’ll react, leading t gd behavir. And it’s true that children need sme level f predictability in their lives, particularly when it cmes t discipline.
But research suggests that incnsistent gifts and praise can have a greater effect n mtivatin. While we all like t live in a predictable wrld, we ften respnd mre strngly t unpredictable rewards.
In ne experiment, my clleagues and I tld participants they’d be paid if they culd drink abut ne-and-a-half quarts f water in tw minutes r less. In ne cnditin, we ffered peple a $2 fixed reward. In anther, there was an uncertain reward f either $2 r $1. The certain reward was a better deal, yet many mre peple successfully met the challenge when assigned an uncertain reward. Reslving the uncertainty—whether they wuld win $1 r $2—was significantly mre mtivating than winning $2 fr sure.
Here is ne f the reasns why uncertainty is mtivating. What scientists call “intermittent (间歇性) reinfrcement” —rewarding behavir n sme but nt all ccasins—makes it mre arduus t knw when rewards will shw up. If yu very ften, but dn’t always, praise yur child fr cmpleting their chres, they’ll keep up the gd behavir in the hpe f receiving praise the next time.
S dn’t assume that if kids are always praised fr finishing their hmewrk, they’ll be mre likely t d it. D praise yung peple fr a jb well dne, just nt every time. And pick rewards ut f a hat when they cmplete chres—the surprise prize might keep everyne mtivated t get things dne.

A. T display the cnclusin f her research.
B. T shw that her kid is very smart.
C. T explain that she is a gd mm.
D. T lead in the tpic.
13．Why did mre participants chse an uncertain reward in the experiment?
A. It was mre inspiring.B. It was mre demanding.
C. It was fair t all participants.D. It was easy t get mre rewards.
14．What des the underlined wrd “arduus” in paragraph 5 mean?

15．What is the best title fr the text?
A. Why Cnsistency Is Critical t Parenting
