American high schl students are terrible writers, and ne educatin refrm grup thinks it has an answer: rbts, r, mre accurately< rbt-readers-cmputers prgrammed t scan student essays and spit ut a grade.
Mark Shermis, prfessr f the Cllege f Educatin at the University f Akrn, is helping t hld a cntest, set up by the William and Flra Hewlett Fundatin(WFHF), which prmises $ 100,000 in prize mney t prgrammers wh write the best autmated grading sftware. “If yu’re a high schl teacher and yu give a writing task, yu’re walking hme with 150 essays,” Shermis said. “Yu’re ging t need sme help. ”
Autmated essay grading was first prpsed in the 1960s, but cmputers back then were nt up t the task. In the late 1990s, as technlgy imprved, several textbk and testing cmpanies jumped int the field. Tday, cmputers are used t grade essays in Suth Dakta's student writing assessments and a handful f ther exams, including the TOEFL test f English fluency, taken by freign students.
The Hewlett cntest aims t shw that cmputers can grade as well as English teachers—nly much mre quickly and withut all that depressing red ink. “Autmated essay scring is bjective,” Shermis said. “And it can be dne immediately. If students finish an essay at 10 p. m. , they get a result at 10: 00 p. m."
Take, fr instance, the Intelligent Essay Assessr, a web-based tl marketed by Pearsn Educatin, Inc. Within secnds it can analyze an essay fr spelling, grammar, rganizatin, and help students t make revisin. The prgram scans fr key wrds and analyzes semantic(语义的) patterns, and Pearsn claims that it can understand the meaning f a text much the same as a human reader.
（1）The text is written t intrduce ________.
A.Hewlett cntest
B.the educatin refrm in America

D.William and Flra Hewlett Fundatin
（2）What des the underlined phrase “spit ut” in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A.Analyze. B.Organize. C.Give. D.Check.
（3）What des Paragraph 4 fcus n?
A.The applicatin f autmated essay scring.
B.The advantages f autmated essay scring.
C.The prize f Hewlett cntest.

A German study suggests that peple wh were t ptimistic abut their future actually faced greater risk f disability r death within 10 years than thse pessimists wh expected their future t be wrse.
The paper, published this March inPsychlgy and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys frm rughly 40,000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were cnducted every year frm 1993 t 2003.
Survey respndents(受访者)were asked t estimate their present and future life satisfactin n a scale f 0 t 10,amng ther questins.
The researchers fund that yung adults(age 18 t 39)rutinely verestimated their future life satisfactin,while middle-aged adults(age 40 t 64)mre accurately predicted hw they wuld feel in the future.Adults f 65 and lder,hwever,were far mre likely t underestimate their future life satisfactin.Nt nly did they feel mre satisfied than they thught they wuld,the lder pessimists seemed t suffer a lwer rati(比率)f disability and death fr the study perid.
“We bserved that being t ptimistic in predicting a better future than actually bserved was assciated with a greater risk f disability and a greater risk f death within the fllwing decade,”wrte Frieder R.Lang,a prfessr at the University f Erlangen-Nuremberg.
Lang and his clleagues believed that peple wh were pessimistic abut their future may be mre careful abut their actins than peple wh expected a rsy future.
“Seeing a dark future may encurage psitive evaluatins f the actual self and may cntribute t taking imprved precautins(预防措施),”the authrs wrte.
Surprisingly,cmpared with thse in pr health r wh had lw incmes,respndents wh enjyed gd health r incme were assciated with expecting a greater decline.Als,the researchers said that higher incme was related t a greater risk f disability.
The authrs f the study nted that there were limitatins t their cnclusins.Illness, medical treatment and persnal lss culd als have driven health utcmes.
Hwever, the researchers said a pattern was clear. “We fund that frm early t late adulthd,individuals adapt their expectatins f future life satisfactin frm ptimistic,t accurate,t pessimistic,”the authrs cncluded.

What’s the prblem? It’s pssible that we all have cmprmised cnversatinal intelligence It’s mre likely that nne f us start a cnversatin because it’s awkward and challenging, r we think it’s annying and unnecessary But the next time yu find yurself amng strangers, cnsider that small talk is wrth the truble Experts say it’s an invaluable scial practice that results in big benefits
Dismissing small talk as unimprtant is easy, but we can’t frget that deep relatinships wuldn’t even exist if it weren’t fr casual cnversatin Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) fr scial cmmunicatin, says Bernard Carducci, directr f the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Sutheast “Almst every great lve stry and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains “The key t successful small talk is learning hw t cnnect with thers, nt just cmmunicate with them”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, assciate prfessr f psychlgy at UBC, invited peple n their way int a cffee shp One grup was asked t seek ut an interactin(互动) with its waiter; the ther, t speak nly when necessary The results shwed that thse wh chatted with their server reprted significantly higher psitive feelings and a better cffee shp experience “It’s nt that talking t the waiter is better than talking t yur husband,” says Dunn “But interactins with peripheral(边缘的) members f ur scial netwrk matter fr ur well-being als”
Dunn believes that peple wh reach ut t strangers feel a significantly greater sense f belnging, a bnd with thers Carducci believes develping such a sense f belnging starts with small talk “Small talk is the basis f gd manners,” he says

At age thirty I finally tk the plunge(跳进)int adulthd by renting a car withut my dad’s help r advice.I’m sure my dad was hurt rather than prud.Thugh a daughter’s independence is evidence f a jb well dne,it still implies the jb’s dne,and many fathers are unwilling t retire.Even when my dad was verwrked,he’d happily jump n a plane if I said I needed help.His frequent questin“Is there anything I can d fr yu?”underlines the fact that he wishes there was still smething he culd prvide.It’s interesting:Even thugh we’re tied by bld and I lve him n matter what,he still seems t need a cncrete functin--suggesting stcks,finding the cheapest plane fare--t feel he has a rle in my life.
