“My daughter always asks to help me when 1 get something from IKEA that needs puting together," says Emma. "Normally, I don't trust her to do much more than turning the Allen key a few times, but recently I bought two chairs and thought: Why not let them have a go? My daughter Ruby did one on her own and was really careful and expert in it. It amazed me that she did a better job than me."

If parents sill aren't convinced that lting their daughters lose with the family power tols is a good ide, just remember how much the local worker charges for a quick DIY job. This fun hobby might save the family a tew dllars, or even broaden their daughter's visions to a building, egineeing based career or study path further down the line.

“When I first used a saw (锯子), 1 was petty sure r'd cut my finger oforf something, but our teacher explained eryhing we neded to know and Istar ted off slowly," explains Amelia, a 12- year old girl.

"I’ve nearly fished making my bread board and I've brought some ofcuts home beause I want to try and turn them into somehing using tols from my grandpa's clction..1 love bildig. It's ceaive and cllnging and relly satistying when it works!" Ameia ads. "'m going to build a bird feder for our

garden next. 1just need to ask Mum and Dad if 1 can borw a dill and some nails."

Do you ever feel guilty for relaxing, even after you ve worked hard all day? Do you feel like you should be doing more despite working full hours and nearing burnout? You may be experiencing productivity dysmorphia (生产力畸形)。It is a way to describe the feling of failing to recognize your accomplishments and wanting to continue doing more, even when you're. running on fumes.

Author Anna Codrear Rado who wrote an article about productivity dysmorphia claimed "it is the pursuit of productivity that drives us to do more while robbing us of the ability to enjoy any success we might encounter along the way".

Highly competitive and job-led culture contribute to constantly pursuing productivity that eats away at other areas of life. In fact, you' re often praised for putting productivity above your well-being. Remember how schools rewarded perfect attendance? Similarly, companies prefer employees who get the maximum work done while taking the fewest possible breaks. Rewards like these have strengthened that rest is bad and that being constantly at work is the right thing to do.

Plus, the problem isn't that the boss tells them to do it, but rather that they internalize the need to always be productive even when they' re going somewhere to enjoy leisure time. Habits like these may be born out of the social pressure to find self worth in work achievements.

Some writers have even begun describing rest as productive, as if people should stop relaxing if it doesn't improve performance in some way. Not only does this mindset make it difficult to view and celebrate your achievements, but it also pushes you to build your entire life around work goals. The only milestones that matter are achieving work goals. The worst part? There's no sense of fulfillment when you reach these goals.

28. What do the underlined words "running on fumes" mean in Paragraph 1?

A. Tired.            B. Excited,         C. Satisfied.        D. Disappointed.

29. Which is the reason for constantly pursuing produetivity?

A. Minor competitiveness.                 B. Pressure from jobs.

C. Instructions from the boss.               D. Internalized needs.

30. Which may be an example of productivity dysmorphia?

A. A man completes work in working hours.

B. A man enjoys leisure time with his family,.

C. A woman works everywhere at anytime.

D. A woman stops for a relaxation regularly.

31. What is the author's atitude towards the description of some writers? .

A. Favorable.           B. Negative.         C. Unconcerned.       D. Neutral.

D

Living robots can reproduce on their own in a dish. This is not a science-fic-tion movie, but the result of a new research,

Xenobots, a type of tiny robot, were first created in 2020, using cells taken from the embryo (胚胎) of an African frog species. Under the right lab conditions, the cells formed small structures that could sel-assemble (自组装)，move in groups and react to their environment. Now, the researchers have found that xenobots can also self- reproduce, according to the journal- -Nerw Scientist.

Xenobots step over an unusual line. Are they living organisms or robots? They are organisms because they are made of stem cells and can reproduce. But they are also robots because they can move on their own and perform physical labor, co-author Sam Kriegman told The Washington Post.

"People have thought for quite a long time that we ve worked out all the ways that life can reproduce or copy. But this is something that's never been observed before," co-author Douglas Blackiston, a senior scientist at Tufts University in the US, told Science Daily website.

The ablity t0 copy adds a new layer of potential function to the robots. Kriegman told The Washingon Post that while xenobots are not yet commer cially useful, they have the potential to offer a number of services, from cleaning up microplastics in the ocean to safely delivering drugs to a speifice spot in a person's body.

However, the creation of xenobots comes with concerns. Some think more advanced future xenobots, especially ones that live longer and reproduce, could out-compete other species, according to The Converstion, an Australia news media.

Researchers think these risks are manageable.“If you change the amount of sodium (钠元素) in that water to be too high or too low, they'll die," Kriegman told The Washington Post. “If there's a piece of copper, a kind of metal, in the dish, they'll all die. It's an extremely contollable, stoppable and safe system."

32. What are xenobots?

A. Robots first discovered in 2020.          B. Robots from a sci- fi movie,

C. Organisms made of embryos.            D. Organisms as well as robots.

33. What is the promising benefit brought about by xenobots?

A. Promoting commercial products.         B. Offering some household services.

C. Delivering medicine inside a patient.      D. Cleaning up huge plastics in the ocean.

34. What can you infer from Kriegman's words in the last paragraph?

A. Xenobots die hard in water.             B. Xenobots won't pose a threat,

C. Xenobots are made of copper.           D. Xenobots have a safe system.

35. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To inform us of the creation of Xenobots.

B. To instruct people how to use Xenobots.

C. To warn about the danger from Xenobots,

D. To settle the arguments over Xenobots.

To begin with, 1 have to be frank that I had an interest in researching this topie becuse my own sense of direction is absoluely rubish. 36. _____I can find my way there easily enough because there are signs pointing me in the right direction. But gtting back to my dining table is another story. After all, there are no helpful signs saying, "This is where you were stting less than five minutes ago, Jane."

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Whenever asked why I chose to become a doctor, I would always explain by elling the story of my adolescence (青春期).

As a fresh graduate of high school, I found it difficult to choose a career path before college. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming an engineer, a doctor or a financial worker. I wasn't interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business.1 couldn't decide.

My uncle suggested that I do a work placement (实习) to experience business for a month in an international company, and then medicine for another month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.

I began a month's placement at a foreign bank. I got to know the rules of financial world, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings.

The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a

leading hospital.

The experience couldn't have been more dferet. The hospital had a stesfu environment. The days started earlyat 7 a. m, compared to9 a.m.at the bank, and were flled with endless duties and the night cll! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.

I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a tmore relaxing environment, better working hours and less stress; while the hospital was full of excitement and difcult studying and training. It seemed that the business choice was going to win out.

Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call, In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through (穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.

注意:
