Hani’s family lived mdestly, her parents wrking as a custdian and a maid. Their incme culdn’t supprt her American university aspiratins, dampening my initial ptimism.
In December 1998, a schlarship pprtunity arse, but upn reviewing the requirements, I despaired. Hani lacked the extracurricular experience and standardized test scres typical f applicants. Despite my discuragement, she remained reslute, asking me t submit her applicatin. Unable t refuse, I cmpleted the applicatin, highlighting her curage and perseverance. I warned her f slim acceptance dds, but she remained steadfast.
In the fllwing weeks, Hani intensified her English studies, and I arranged fr her t take the Test f English Fluency. The cmputerized test psed a significant challenge fr her. Just befre departing fr the test, she received a letter frm the schlarship assciatin. I began reading the letter with her, nly t discver she’d been accepted.
Overjyed, I celebrated while Hani std quietly, perhaps bewildered by my shck. In that mment, I realized what Hani had knwn all alng: success requires nt just intelligence, but als the drive t persevere and the curage t believe in neself.

Laughter cmes in many frms, frm a plite chuckle t an infectius hwl f amusement. Scientists are nw develping an AI system that can cpy varius frms f laughter accurately. The team behind the laughing rbt, Erica, say that the system culd imprve natural cnversatins between peple and AI systems.
Dr. Kji Inue, lead authr f the research frm Kyt University, highlights empathy（共情）as a crucial aspect f cnversatinal AI, suggesting laughter sharing as a means fr rbts t cnnect with users. T achieve this, Inue and his team gathered data frm ver 80 speed-dating dialgues between male students and Erica, initially perated by amateur actrs.
Dialgue data labeled fr individual, scial, and jyful laughter was used t train an AI system t identify and prduce fitting laughter respnses. Based n the audi files, the algrithm（算法）learned their subtle differences, aiming t imitate scial laughs subtly and hearty laughs empathetically.
“Our biggest challenge in this wrk was identifying the actual cases f shared laughter,” explained Inue, emphasizing the need fr careful categrizatin. Erica’s “sense f humr” was tested with fur dialgues, integrating the new shared-laughter algrithm. These were cmpared t cases where Erica didn’t laugh r emitted scial laughs upn detecting laughter.
The clips were played t 130 vlunteers wh rated the shared-laughter algrithm highly fr empathy and naturalness. The team believed laughter culd imbue rbts with unique character traits, including cnversatinal behavirs like laughter, eye gaze, gestures, and speaking style. Hwever, Inue acknwledged it culd take ver 20 years t have a “casual chat with a rbt like we wuld with a friend.”
Prfessr Sandra Wachter, f the Oxfrd Internet Institute at the University f Oxfrd, said, “One f the things I’d keep in mind is that a rbt r algrithm will never be able t understand yu. It desn’t understand the meaning f laughter. They fail t feel, but they might get very gd at making yu believe they understand what’s ging n.”
28. Why d scientists develp the AI system that can cpy varius frms f laughter?
A. T make rbts sund mre human-like.
B. T help rbts understand human emtins better.
C. T enable rbts t have a sense f humr like humans.
D. T enhance the emtinal interactin between peple and AI systems.
29. What was the challenge Inue faced while wrking n this prject?
A. Creating an algrithm that can genuinely feel amusement.
B. Identifying the situatins where laughter is truly understd.
C. Distinguishing between different types f laughter accurately.
D. Cllecting sufficient data fr training the machine learning system.
30. What des the underlined wrd “imbue” mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Equip. B. Inspire. C. Engage. D. Influence.
31. What is Prfessr Sandra Wachter’s view n laughing rbts?
A. They are nt capable f capturing human laughter.
B. They can imitate laughter but lack thrugh cmprehensin.
C. It is pssible fr them t play tricks n humans ccasinally.
D. It will take lng befre humans have cmfrtable cnversatins with them.

In a wrld f music streaming services, access t almst any sng is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live perfrmance lives n. Peple still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded cncert halls t hear their favurite musicians play. And nw neurscientists might knw why—live music engages the brain’s emtin centres mre than its recrded cunterpart.
Cncerts are immersive（沉浸式的）scial experiences in which peple listen t and feel the music tgether thrugh crescends, key changes and rhythmic drps. Mrever, they are dynamic—artists can adapt their playing accrding t the crwd’s reactin.
It was this last difference that led neurscientists, based at the Universities f Zurich and Osl, t study the brain respnses f peple listening t music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening t the music thrugh earphnes, while a pianist was psitined utside the rm. The pianist was shwn the participant’s real-time brain activity as a frm f feedback. In the recrded cnditin, participants listened t pre-recrded versins f the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in hw live music affected the areas f the brain respnsible fr prcessing emtins, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the jurnal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emtinal impact. Whether the music cnveyed happiness r sadness, dynamic live perfrmances led t increased activity nt nly in the amygdala but als ther parts f the brain’s emtin prcessing netwrk. The researchers als fund that participants’ brain activity tracked the acustic（声学的）features f the music, like temp and pitch, far mre clsely when it was played live.
While the study didn’t fully recreate the live cncert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability t adjust their perfrmance in real time cntributes t the emtinal resnance（共鸣）f live music. Sme musical acts nw attempt t recreate live cncerts, such as ABBA Vyage, an immersive pre-recrded VR cncert, but withut artists’ capacity t read audience’s md and respnd accrdingly, it will never quite match the real thing.
32. Why d peple attend live shws despite music streaming services?
A. Because they prefer being with friends at a cncert.
B. Because they enjy the prcess f finding ppular music.
C. Because they intend t meet their favrite musicians in persn.
D. Because they value the emtinal cnnectin live music brings.
33. The rle f the pianist play in the “live” experiment is t _______.
A. bserve the participants’ brain activity as feedback
B. cmpare the effectiveness f live perfrmances and recrded nes
C. prvide live accmpaniment t participants inside the MRI scanner
D. demnstrate their ability t read and respnd t the audience’s md
34. What did the study published in PNAS find abut the impact f live music n the brain?
A. Live music affected nly the amygdala f the brain.
B. The brain respnded mre intensely t acustic features f live music.
C. Live music had a reduced emtinal impact cmpared t recrded music.
D. The participants’ brain activity was especially sensitive t dynamic music.
35. What des the authr suggest by mentining ABBA Vyage in the last paragraph?
A. It fails t create a perfect perfrming atmsphere.
B. It matches the sund quality f live perfrmances.
C. It greatly stirs up the audience’s emtinal respnse.
D. It lacks artists’ respnse based n audience’s feedback.

Spend a few minutes reflecting n r talking abut what wuld happen if yu achieved it. “Hw des it impact yu, r hw wuld it benefit thers?” he says. “ 40 And when yu can see yurself in the future, that is the very essence f hpe.”

Whenever I spread marmalade（橘子酱）, I am reminded f my mther, a five-ft-tall angel wh even befriended a skunk（臭鼬）.
One day, while she was busy picking beans in the backyard, she came acrss a skunk n mre than a meter away. The skunk’s embarrassment was evident as he had undubtedly been rummaging（乱翻）thrugh the garbage. He still had a marmalade jar stuck n his nse. Mm tk pity n him. Instead f wrrying the creature wuld spray smething smelly all ver her and the beans, she smiled cmpassinately at the little thing and extended a helping hand. Kneeling n the grund, she inched acrss the grass, reached ut, and twisted the jar—very carefully.
The jar slipped ff. The skunk ndded a thank-yu befre slipping away int the wds at the back f the garden. Obviusly, there was n spraying incident, thanks t my remarkable mther. She repeated this tale numerus times, always calling the skunk Marmalade. Hwever, that was nt the end f the stry. Three summers later, when I was abut twelve, anther encunter ccurred.
It was a rainy mrning, and bth my mther and father had gne t wrk. My friend Rb came ver t play, and we decided t run the electric train in my rm. Suddenly, a scratching sund emerged frm the attic（阁楼）. Rb assumed that it might be sme kind f animal. Curisity gt the better f us, and we ventured twards the surce f the sund.
I cautiusly pened the attic dr in the hall. The nise ceased abruptly. I climbed up the stairs, Rb fllwing my lead. There behind the ty bx near the chimney std the animal—black with a distinct white stripe dwn his back. Was he scared and trembling? I believe s, at least that’s what I remember. Instinctively, I retreated, fearing the ptential spray r bites frm the creature. “Hey, Rb,” I whispered urgently, “It’s a skunk. Let’s g t the kitchen and figure ut a way t get him ut f here.”

Paragraph 1: In the cupbard, several paper cups and a jar f marmalade caught ur sight. I reached fr the jar, remembering my mther’s encunter with the skunk years ag.
