B更多优质滋元可 家 威杏 MXSJ663 Sam is a furth-year student at Harvard Medical Schl, but petry is still a big part f his life, nw with a new teacher, Rafael Camp, wh believes petry can benefit every dctr’s educatin and wrk. Rafael is a physician, prfessr and a highly respected pet.
“Petry is in every encunter(邂逅) with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way abut petry. And if we d anything when we’re with ur patients, we’re really immersing(使沉浸于) urselves in their stries, really hearing their vices. And, certainly, that’s what a pem des,” he said.
Rafael wrries that smething imprtant has been lst in medicine and medical educatin tday: humanity, which he finds in petry. T end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing wrkshp fr medical students and residents(住院医生).
He thinks medical training fcuses t much n distancing the dctr frm his r her patients, and pems can help clse that gap.
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was ne f the wrkshp regulars. She said, “I think there’s n ther prfessin ther than medicine that prduces as many writers as it des. And I think that is because there’s just s much pwer in dctrs and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Nt everyne believes that’s what dctrs shuld d, thugh.
Rafael said, “I was afraid f hw peple might judge me, actually. In the medical prfessin, as many peple knw, we must always put the emergency first. But, yu knw, that kind f treatment, if it’s happening in the hspital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad utcme. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn’t survived the cancer. Dn’t we still have a rle as healers there?”
In a pem titled “Health”, Rafael writes f the wish t live frever in a wrld made painless by ur incurable jy. He says he will cntinue teaching students, helping patients and writing pems, his wn brand f medicine.
24. What d we knw abut Rafael Camp?

Everywhere I lk utside my hme I see peple busy with their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shpping, even sitting in tilets. When cnnected electrnically, they are away frm physical reality.
Peple have been influenced t becme addicted t technlgy. One survey reprted that “addicted” was the wrd mst cmmnly used by peple t describe their relatinship t the iPad and similar devices. One study fund that peple had a harder time resisting the allure f scial media than they did fr sleep, cigarettes and alchl.
The main gal f technlgy cmpanies is t get peple t spend mre mney and time n their prducts, nt t actually imprve ur quality f life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Cnsumers willingly give up their freedm, mney and time t catch up n the latest infrmatin, t keep pace with their peers r t appear mdern.
What is a healthy use f technlgy devices? That is the vital questin. Wh is really in charge f my life? That is what peple need t ask themselves if we are t have any chance f breaking up false beliefs abut their use f technlgy. When we can live happily withut using s much technlgy fr a day r a week, then we can regain cntrl and persnal freedm, becme the master f technlgy and discver what there is t enjy in life free f technlgy.
Mae West is famus fr the wisdm that “t much f a gd thing is wnderful.” But it’s time t discver that it des nt wrk fr technlgy. Richard Fernandez, an executive cach at Ggle acknwledged that “we can be swept away by ur technlgies,” T break the grand digital cnnectin, peple must cnsider hw life lng ag culd be fantastic withut tday’s verused technlgy.
28. What is the prbable meaning f the underlined wrd “allure” in Paragraph 2?
A. Advantage. B. Attractin. C. Adaptatin. D. Attempt.
29. What is the aim f technlgy cmpanies accrding t the passage?
A. T attract peple t buy their prducts.B. T prvide the latest infrmatin.
C. T imprve peple’s quality f life.D. T deal with cultural diseases.
30. It can be inferred frm this passage that peple _____________.
A. cnsider t much technlgy wnderful
B. have realized the harm f high-tech devices
C. can regain freedm with high-tech devices
D. may enjy life better withut verused technlgy
31. What’s the authr’s attitude twards the veruse f high-tech devices?
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical.C. Disapprving. D. Sympathetic.

Sme futurists have gne s far as t say that intelligent machines will replace teachers within 10 years. Nt surprisingly, this causes cncern amng educatrs. As artificial intelligence (AI) develps, it is playing an increasingly imprtant rle in educatin. But shuld teachers really be wrried?
I have been invlved in AI in educatin thrughut my career, develped award-winning AI-based prducts. While I am mre excited than ever abut the ptential f AI t imprve the quality and ecnmics f learning, I dn’t think educatrs shuld wrry abut being replaced by machines. Instead, AI is mre likely t empwer teachers, reduce verwrk, and make their jbs mre rewarding.
Studies shw that teachers have mre impact n students’ achievement than any ther aspect f schling, and effective teachers have a lasting impact n students’ success. Yet many teachers reprt that their wrklad is unmanageable, and much f their time is devted t activities ther than teaching. This is an area where AI can help. Fr example, by autmating the scring f student wrk teachers spend less time n grading assignments and data input and management, and fcus instead n respnding t students’ needs.
Teachers with large classes find it stressful t meet the needs f individual students. AI can give these students the practice pprtunities and individualize feedback that they therwise might nt receive. Teachers have few pprtunities t interact with students utside f the classrm. Al-based learning envirnments can be made available t students anywhere and anytime. Learning can cntinue utside f the classrm. This helps every learner t make rapid prgress tward mastery f their subjects.
Thus, the questin shuld nt be whether AI will replace teachers, but hw it can supprt teachers and learners bth inside and utside the classrm.
32. Accrding t what futurists say in the first paragraph, we can learn _____________.
A. intelligent machines are develping fastB. teachers are irreplaceable in schl
C. AI is playing an imprtant rle in educatinD. AI might be a threat t educatrs
33. What is the authr’s pinin abut AI in educatin?
A. AI has the ptential t replace teachers.B. AI is less useful than educatrs.
C. AI culd make educatin very prfitable.D. AI can wrk alngside teachers.
34. Accrding t the authr, AI can supprt teachers by _____________.
A. helping teachers rganize class activities
B. interacting with students
C. reducing the time teachers spend n activities ther than teaching
D. helping teachers check hw students are mastering what they have learnt
35. What is the authr mainly talking abut?
A. The develpment f AI in educatin.B. The impacts that AI has had n educatin.
C. The imprtance f educatrs in educatin.D. The ways that AI can help educatrs.

Rck music cnsists f many different styles. Even thugh there is a cmmn spirit amng all music grups, they make very different music. 36 At that time the Beatles entered the wrld f music frm Liverpl.
