Puffins are adrable birds with big, clrful beaks (喙) that live in grassy cliffs in the Far Nrth. One summer day, my husband and I barded the bat t Flatey Island, eager t catch a glimpse f these charming creatures.
As sn as the bat left the harbr, the rain started puring. The wind picked up, and the bat began t jump. I was beginning t feel seasick.
By the time we reached the island, my fingers were blue. The bat wuldn’t g back fr fur hurs. We huddled under the shelter f a warehuse, wndering what t d. Then a wman wearing mittens (手套) came clse t us. “Yu lk cld,” she said. “Wuld yu like t cme t ur huse fr lunch?”
It was a small yellw huse at the edge f the village. It was full f peple, yung and ld. They made rm fr us at the table. We ate and drank a lt, and they tld us all abut the puffins and the ther birds n the island.
It was almst time fr the bat t leave, ur new friend Sigrid walked in the rain with us t the puffins’ cliffs. We sat still n the wet rcks, watching the birds fly right tward us, ccking their heads as if wndering what we were ding n their island. They made us laugh.
When the bat whistle blew, Sigrid tk my hand t say gd-bye. “Yur hands are s cld!” Slipping her mittens ff, she handed them t me. “Yu need t have mittens fr the bat ride,” she said.
It’s been seventeen years, and I still have Sigrid’s mittens. They’re nt fancy and bright like the puffin’s beak. But as much as I liked thse funny little birds, it’s the mittens I think f when I remembered the island. I’ve spent years trying t be as kind t smene else as Sigrid was t me that day.

Imagine living in a cl, green city filled with parks and threaded with ftpaths, bike lanes and buses which transprt peple t shps, schls and service centers in a matter f minutes. This fancy dream is behind the idea f the 15-minute city, where all basic needs and services are within a quarter f an hur’s reach, imprving public health and reducing pllutin.
Artificial intelligence culd help city planners realize that visin faster, with a new study frm researchers at Tsinghua University in China demnstrating hw machine learning can prduce mre efficient spatial designs than humans can.
Autmatin (自动化) scientist Zheng Yu and his clleagues wanted t find new slutins t ur crwded cities. They develped an AI system t deal with the tugh tasks f city planning and fund it can prduce city plans that utperfrm human designs by abut 50 percent n three aspects: access t services, green spaces and traffic levels.
Starting small, Zheng’s team tasked their mdel with designing the city area nly a few square kilmeters in size(abut 3x3 blcks). After tw days f training, the AI system searched fr the ideal rad layuts and land use t fit with the cncept f the 15-minute city.
While the AI mdel can increase its use fr planning larger city areas, designing an entire city wuld be much mre cmplex. Drafting a neighbrhd cnsisting f 4x4 blcks cntains twice as many planning decisins as designing 3x3 blcks. But autmating even a few steps in the planning prcess can save huge amunts f time: the AI mdel can cmpute in secnds certain tasks that take human planners between 50 t 100 minutes t wrk thrugh.
Autmating certain tasks f city planning wuld free up human planners t fcus n mre challenging r human-centric tasks, such as public engagement and aesthetics.
Rather than AI replacing peple, Zheng thinks their AI system can wrk as an “assistant” t city planners, wh culd prduce cncept designs that are imprved by the system, and reviewed, adjusted by human experts based n cmmunity feedback.
8. What des “that visin” refer t in paragraph 2?
A. Building up a cnvenient and green city.
B. Imprving wrk efficiency in city design.
C. Using AI widely t imprve life in the city.
DCreating mre needs and services in the city.
9. Hw did Zheng’s team carry ut their study?
A. By cmparing the perfmances f AI and humans.
B. By asking AI t cmplete a design f an entire city.
C. By training human designers fr mre challenging jbs.
D. By hlding a design cmpetitin between AI and humans.
10. Which is AI incapable f cnsidering in city planning accrding t the study?
A. Traffic level.B. Green spaces.
C. Access t services.D. Public engagement.
11. Which f the fllwing statements wuld the authr mst prbably agree with?
A. The use f AI will lead t less friendly cities.
B. Humans shuld deal with minr tasks in city design.
C. AI can wrk with humans t create mre livable cities.
D. AI will take the place f human experts in the future.

A study published by the Max Planck Institute fr Human Cgnitive and Brain Science fund that musicians wh wrk in the tw fields shw significantly different brain activity, even when they’re playing the same music.
The research culd help explain why musicians seem t stand ut in ne r ther style, and nt usually in bth.
The study utlines tw steps in playing the pian: what the pianist is ging t play — meaning the keys they press — and hw they are ging t play — which fingers they shuld use. Classical pianists tend t fcus n the secnd step — the “hw”. This means their fcus is n technique and the persnal expressin they add t the piece. Jazz pianists n the ther hand fcus n the “what” meaning they are always prepared t imprvise (即兴创作) and adapt the ntes they’re playing.
The study included 30 prfessinal pianists, half f whm were jazz players and half f whm were classical. Bth grups were shwn a hand playing a sequence f chrds (和音) n a screen. The sequence was arranged irregularly with mistakes in harmnies and fingering. The pianists had t reprduce the hand mvements and react t the irregularities, while their brain signals were recrded with sensrs n their head.
The study fund that different prcesses ccurred in the brains f the jazz and classical pianists. In particular, the jazz pianists’ brains began re-planning sner than the classical pianists’ brains.
The study fund the classical pianists cncentrated n the fingering and technique f their playing, while the jazz pianists were mre prepared t change the ntes they played. “In the jazz pianists we fund evidence frm the brain signals fr this flexibility in planning harmnies when playing the pian,” says researcher Rberta Bianc. “When we asked them t play a harmnically unexpected chrd, their brains started t re-plan he actins faster than classical pianists. Accrdingly, they were better able t react and cntinue their perfrmances.”
12. What’s the purpse f the text?
A. T explain “what” and “hw” in playing the pian.
B. T intrduce a study n playing styles f musicians.
C. T cmpare the skill levels f jazz and classical pianists.
D. T argue wh are smarter between musicians f tw fields.
13. What d classical pianists pay mre attentin t in their perfrmances?
A. The fingers they use.B. The patterns they perfrm.
C. The ntes they play.D. The atmsphere they create.
14. What des paragraph 4 fcus n?
A. Majr findings f the research.
B. Explanatin f research methds.
C. Supprting evidence fr the research results.
D. Future applicatin f the research findings.
15. Why are jazz players thught t be mre flexible?
A. They care mre abut playing technique.
B. They are better at crrecting musical mistakes.
C. They are mre ready fr the change while playing.
