    A cmment frm Zadie Smith caught my attentin this week. Asked whether she had ever cnsidered recrding an album, the nvelist respnded, “I have a dream f having a Café Carlyle residency in New Yrk in my 80s.” Here she is at the height f her success dreaming f a career Plan B just like the rest f us!
    Weird Plan Bs fascinate me because fr years I had ne f my wn. Despite being perfectly happy in my chsen prfessin, I had lng harbured the fantasy f becming a phtgrapher and I tk a lckdwn leap and applied t art schl t acquire sme actual skills.
    Has it brught me fame and riches? Nt as yet. Like many peple wh dream f having a g at smething different, I was fcusing n creative fulfilment rather than my future finances. By the time I graduated in 2022, my dream f running a prtrait phtgraphy business was lking a lt less practicable—in part thanks t AI head-sht generatrs.
    If nly I had had a little mre Fb, als knwn as the fear f becming ut-f-date. This wrkplace trend is an updated versin f Fm—the fear f missing ut, which nw feels like a pignant (辛酸的) thrwback t mre ptimistic times. 22% f wrkers are wrried that technlgy will put them ut f a jb. And wh can blame them?
    There is anther reasn that nurturing an alterative career might be risky. Research indicates that having a back-up plan can wrk against yu. Having a Plan B as a safety net can cause peple t make less effrt at their day jb and — unhelpfully — run a greater risk f lsing it.
    S, d I regret pursuing my Plan B? Nt at all — hpefully I’ve gt a few years befre rbt phtgraphers take ver the wrld, and I currently spend a day a week n phtgraphy. My nly srrw is smething unexpected. Fr s many years. I had the fantasy f trying smething new. My “smeday” ambitin sustained me thrugh dull and bring days. But nw I’m actually spending sme f my week ding it, which has caused empty space in my life. It made me realize that having an alternative career t dream abut is in itself sustaining and cmfrting. Yu might never d it, and that might nt even matter. S, if yu’ll excuse me, I need t g and start wrking n my Plan C...
    12.Why did Zadie Smith want t have a Cafe Carlyle residency?
    A.She was nt satisfied with her writing career.
    B.She was eager t take up a secnd career.
    C.She was depressed by recrding an album.

    Fr smene wh takes a lt f energy t nly walk a few feet, ex can get them up and get them mving. Besides speeding up recvery time, these rbtic skeletns are especially helpful fr thse with paralysis, frm spinal crd injuries and strkes.
    Using the machine can help sme patients rewire their brains t use secndary muscles, s they can eventually walk again withut the device. But Patrick Wensing, assistant prfessr at the University f Ntre Dame says exskeletns have ne big drawback. While existing exskeletns are very pwerful, right nw they dn t understand what the user wants t d. S in rder t switch between activities in daily life, yu ften have t press a buttn interface t tell the exskeletn “I wuld like t stand up nw".
    Wensing and his team are cperating with Eks Binics, a leading develper f wearable rbts, t create a machine that can understand what its user wants t d withut implanted sensrs and cmplicated cntrl panels.
    Taylr Gambn has spent the last year analyzing data frm exskeletn users and cmparing them t mdels f everyday walking. Later this year, the team will travel t Eks Binics' Califrnia headquarters, where they will wrk directly with exskeletns t design prgrams that interact with users f varius disabilities, s that mre peple like Lindsey Stefen can get back n their feet again.

    Science is a prcess that builds upn existing theries and knwledge by cntinuusly revising them. Every aspect f scientific knwledge can be questined, including the general rules f thinking that appear t be mst certain. S why is science trustwrthy if it is always changing? If tmrrw we will n lnger see the wrld as Newtn r Einstein fund it t be, why shuld we take seriusly tday’s scientific descriptin f the wrld?
    The answer is simple: Because at any given mment f ur histry, this descriptin f the wrld is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument fr understanding the wrld.
    Cnsider a flk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is prven t be effective, even if we have n idea why it wrks. In fact, quite a few cmmn medicatins used tday have their rigin in flk treatments, and we are still nt sure hw they wrk. This des nt imply that flk treatments are generally effective. T the cntrary, many f them are nt. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness t seriusly test a treatment and t be ready t change ur minds if smething is shwn nt t wrk. A research dctr in a mdern hspital must be ready t change his thery if a mre effective way f understanding illness, r treating it, becmes available.
    What makes mdern science uniquely pwerful is its refusal t believe that it already pssesses ultimate truth. The reliability f science is based nt n certainty but n a cmplete absence f certainty. As Jhn Stuart Mill wrte in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have mst warrant (依据) fr, have n safeguard t rest n, but a standing invitatin t the whle wrld t prve them unfunded.”

    A.T add sme fun.B.T express dubts.
    C.T intrduce the tpic.D.T prvide backgrund.
    9.What can we learn abut tday’s scientific descriptin f the wrld?
    A.It can be timeless.B.It can be imprved.
    C.It is f little value.D.It is the best at any mment.
    10.What is the authr’s attitude tward flk treatment?
    A.Dismissive.B.Objective.C.Pessimistic.D.Sympathetic.
    11.What is the main idea f paragraph 4?
    A.It is unwise t believe in science.
