Time flies when yu play n yur smartphne. But when yu get dwn t the real business f wrk and study, ne hur feels like a year. Why are we s attracted （吸引） by smartphnes but easily bred by studying?
It all bils dwn t smething small and hard t see: dpamine （多巴胺）. Dpamine is a. “pleasure chemical”that makes peple feel gd. Our brains give it ut when we eat yummy fd, after we exercise r when we get a prize.
Cmpared with studying, playing n smartphnes causes ur brains t give ut mre dpamine. Fr example, checking yur phne fr a text leads t a 400 percent increase in dpamine. But why?
When we visit scial media, we dn’t knw what we’ll see next, r wh will give pinins abut things we pst. This “magic f maybe”, makes the dpamine system active. We get excited wndering if we have messages frm ur friends. When ur expectatins are met, dpamine is given ut.
And t find mre dpamine, we cntinue checking ur phnes. Studying desn’t prvide such magic. Withut this excitement, we get bred much mre easily.
Can we d smething t change that? Accrding t scientists, apps can becme less attractive if we turn ff ntificatins r change the screen clrs t black and white. We can als set time limits n apps t avid verusing them.
“As fr studying, yu culd check yur prgress daily r weekly and reward yurself fr it”, said Daniel Wng, writer f The Happy Student, “Yu culd als search fr interesting tpics cnnected with yur textbk. Use what yu’ve learned t make an influence in the real wrld. This will make knwledge much mre interesting t learn”.
（ ）43．What might the underlined phrase “bils dwn t” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．results frm B．turns ut C．leads t D．wrks ut
（ ）44．When d peple have mre dpamine?
A．When they knw what will happen next.B．When they stay in a familiar envirnment.
C．When they get used t smething.D．When their expectatins are met.
（ ）45．Which statement is true accrding t the passage?
A．We are attracted by smartphnes but easily bred by studying.
B．Our brains give dpamine ut befre we exercise r get a prize.
C．The “magic f maybe” excites us when we send messages.
D．Apps can becme less attractive if we change the sund f ntificatins （短信）.
（ ）46．Which f the fllwing might Daniel Wng suggest t make learning interesting?
A．Setting time limits n everything yu d.
B．Using what yu learn frm textbks t d things in real life.
C．Stpping playing and finding mre interests in real life.
D．Reading the interesting part in yur textbks befre reading the thers.
DLanding a dream jb has never been easy, but at least in the past yu knew that the persn yu had t mve was a wrkmate. Mre recently, hwever, bsses are putting the duty f finding the mst acceptable wrker n the inhuman shulders. AI systems can g thrugh thusands f resumes （简历） much faster than a persn r even a team f peple can. What’s mre, prgrams have been invented t run vide interviews, t.
While thse wh supprt such systems believe that this super useful hiring （雇用） methd is the future, thers fear that the systems have serius prblems. Because AI systems use unfair infrmatin t learn hw t chse peple, the hiring prcess （过程） may actually be mre unfair when AI is used. A recent example f this was Amazn’s AI-hiring system, which autmatically paid n attentin t wmen because mst technical wrkers were men.
Naturally, jb searchers are trying anything they can t satisfy the AI’s selectin criteria （标准）. Nw, in Suth Krea, where a number f the tp cmpanies use AI fr hiring, many jb searchers attend special cntinuatin schls t learn hw t pass their AI interview （面试）.
Of curse, many f the skills taught are nthing mre than educated guesses. Withut knwing exactly what each individual AI system lks fr, knwing what t d t please it is very difficult. Hwever, there are still sme things yu can try. Fr example, use industry-specific terms in yur interview answers because Al ften searches infrmatin fr specific （特定的） key wrds. Anther tip is t keep yur resume’s style simple. That way, the AI can search it mre easily.
It seems ur success culd very well depend n the mysterius decisin f a machine mind. It sunds unfair, and it may be. In the end, the pwer t either change the system itself r at least make it wrk fr yu is in yur hands as lng as yu make up yur mind.
（ ）47．What des the underlined phrase “inhuman shulders” refer t?
A．Bsses. B．AI systems. C．Wrkmates. D．A team f peple.
（ ）48．What des the writer think f Amazn’s AI-hiring system?
A．It’s nt fair t wmen. B．It knws abut wmen.
C．It prefers t chse wmen. D．It desn’t like wmen.
（ ）49．What d jb searchers d t satisfy the AI’s selectin criteria?
A．They try t learn hw t use cmputers.B．They try t change the AI-hiring system.
C．They write letters t sme AI cmpanies.D．They learn hw t pass their AI interview.
（ ）50．What’s the best title fr the passage?
A．Making up yur mind B．Hired by a machine mind
C．The AI’s selectin criteria D．Landing a dream jb
