4、information such as traffic or air pollution; and the widespread use of smart phone apps and mobile devices that enable citizens and city workers alike to monitor problems and _37_ information about them back to city hall. All this data collection raises understandable privacy _38_. Most cities have

5、 policies designed to safeguard citizen privacy and prevent the release of information that might _39_ any one individual. In theory, anyway. Widespread use of sensors and video can also present privacy risks unless _40_ are taken. The technology “is forcing cities to face questions of privacy that

10、stomers control over ingredients, flavorings and temperature without any human interaction. The company says no other business in the world has applied as much _47_ to “specialty coffee.” Removing the _48_ element from ordering a cup of coffee is one of the companys primary selling points. “No more

A When we say that residents in the Chicago suburb of North Riverside, Illinois, “wrote the book” on how to be good neighbors, we are not exagger

20、ating. The residents of North Riverside really did write a book on neighborliness that has helped make their town a remarkable place. Neighbors All: Creating Community One Block at a Time is a 65 - page manual filled with friendly suggestions and inspiring stories, all designed to build “family bond

21、s” among neighbors. Every household gets a copy, delivered by a volunteer “block captain” tasked with welcoming new arrivals, helping senors, making sure kids play nice, and more. Its a big job, but the 90 captains across the town of 6,700 dont do it alone. They are organized by their own captain, C

22、aro Saple, and the neighborhood Services Committee, which appoints leaders of all ages, including a team of school - age “angels”. If all this seems somewhat bureaucratic （宫僚制度的） , in practice Neighbors All has very much lived up to its title. One captain got to chatting with an elder couple who rev

23、ealed that they couldnt afford to replace their broken stove. Before long, the Neighborhood Services Committee had collected enough money to buy them a new one. Another resident, a woman from Poland, told her captain that she was having trouble sorting out the paperwork to get her citizenship. The c

24、aptain told the committee, which told the mayor, who got the help of their local congressperson, and soon the womans paperwork was all in order. “ I have been in North Riverside over 34 years and am very proud ou the small-town caring the community demonstrates every day,” said Vera Jandacek Wilt. “

25、Waters rising in the river, ready to flood nearby homes? Residents and officials are filling sandbags to hold back the floods. Lonely seniors have not stepped out of the house? A block captain shows up to invite them to a block party. This community truly looks out for one another.” Does all this me

30、g adulthood around the year 2000), Generation Z is now entering the workforce. A massive 72.8 million individuals are included in this group born between the mid - 1990s and the early 2000s. Are you ready? While we have learned how to create a culture where Millennials can do well, what Generation Z

31、 needs can be quite different: Millennials Generation Z Dont just work for a paycheck, they want a purpose. Money and job security are their top motivators. They want to make a difference but surviving an developing are more important. They arent pursuing job satisfaction, they are pursuing their ow

32、n development. They want to gather rewarding experiences. Gen Z tend towards being impatient and often experience FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), so instant feedback and satisfaction are key. They dont want bosses, they want coaches. They want to be guided in an environment where they can advance quickl

33、y. They want to look their leaders in the eye and experience honesty and transparency. They dont want annual reviews, they want ongoing conversations. They dont want an annual work assessment, they want to be advised and given feedback on an ongoing frequent (daily) basis. They dont want to fix thei

34、r weaknesses, they want to develop their strengths. They believe that there are winners and losers - and more people fall into the losing category. They want to have the tools to win, either through developing weaknesses or strengths. They have a cooperative way of thinking where everyone joins in a

35、nd works together. 72% of Gen Z said they are competitive with doing the same job. They are independent and want to be judged on their own value and showcase their individual talents. Its not just their job, its their life. Salary and benefits and how they can advance are central. They are a DIY gen

36、eration and they feel that other generations have over complicated the workplace. 60. According to the passage, Millennials and Gen Z share the same point of view on _. A. job satisfaction B. work assessment C. weaknesses and strengths D. salary and benefits 61. Which of the following is true of Gen

They have talents and dont want to be judged. 62. Who among the following are most probably the target readers of this passage? A. Millenn

Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so

39、might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference? Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Ange

40、les studied the acoustic （听觉的）and perceptual（知觉的）differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter. The mos

41、t prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration - or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-has

42、” when theyre faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable. “A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, the lead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “Th

43、e result is that there are subtle（微妙的）features of the laugh that sound like speech,and . people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.” People have also proven to be emotionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” sa

44、id Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London. McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when partici

45、pants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other persons emotional and mental state,” she said. So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our i

46、nstincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them. According to McGettigan, thats a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, its good to be able to detect if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if theyre not,” she said. “Because you dont want to be fooled.” 63. Wha

47、t do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study? A. What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one. B. Which part of the brain controls the sound of our laughter. C. Why do people need to fake laugh when they dont want to. D. How to laugh as genuinely as p

48、ossible when you are faking it. 64. Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_. A. you seem more concentrated when you laugh for real B. you take more breaths when you try to fake a laugh C. a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pause D. a real laugh usually lasts lo

49、nger than a fake one 65. Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant? A. Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain. B. People may notice fake laughter without knowing why. C. People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak. D. Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech. 66.
