B When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the MakeAWish Foundation, nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew jus
25、t how important MakeAWish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia to listen to what she had to say. Sophia told us that MakeAWish is a worldwide organization t
26、hat started in the United States in 1980. Its a charity that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. MakeAWish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true, Sophia explained. We asked Sophia how MakeAWish had first started. She said it
27、had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chriss dream come trueso, with everybodys help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a policeman for a day. W
28、hen people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of MakeAWish, explained Sophia. Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy ti me. A Make-A-Wish volunte

33、ovide what is necessary to make MakeAWish popular. C Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological(按时间计算的) age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels. Chronological age isnt how
34、 old we really are. Its merely a number, said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan(寿命). We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we
35、 live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one. To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identi
36、fied nine bio-markers that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm (算法) does the rest. Perhaps whats most important here is that these measures can be
37、changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things arent set in stone, Levine said. People can be given the information earli
38、er and take steps to improve their health before its too late. Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. I always considered myself a very healthy person. Im physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results
39、to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call, she said. Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. No one wants t
40、o live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic diseases, Levine said. By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing. 38. Biological age depends on _. A. what the cale
41、ndar says about our age B. when we start to take outdoor exercise C. whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment D. how well our body works compared with our peers 39. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2? A. We are chronologically older than last year. B. We
42、might be less happy than the previous year. C. We dont have to celebrate our birthday every year. D. We may be biologically younger than the year before. 40. What does the author want to tell us by Levines example in Paragraph 5? A. It is necessary to change our diet regularly. B. The test results m
43、ay give us wrong information. C. Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness. D. The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems. 41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Bio-markers Can Make Us Younger B. Chronological Age and Biological Age C. Old Pe
44、ople can Still be Engaged in Society D. Biological Age can Lag behind or Exceed Chronological Age D Dont Blame Robots for Low Wages The other day I found myself at a conference discussing declining wages and increasing inequality. One thing that struck me was how many of the participants just assume
45、d that robots are a big part of the problem. But automation just isnt a big part of the story what happened to American workers over the past 40 years. We do have a big problem, but it has very little to do with technology, and a lot to do with politics and power. Economically speaking, a robot is a
46、nything that uses technology to do work formerly done by human beings. And robots in that sense have been transforming our economy for centuries. David Ricardo, a founding father of economics, wrote about the destructive effects of machinery in 1821. These days, when people talk about the robot dest
47、ruction, they dont usually think of things like strip mining(露 天 采 矿) and mountaintop removal(削 山 开 采). Yet these technologies completely transformed coal mining: Coal production almost doubled between 1950 and 2000, yet the number of coal miners fell from 470,000 to fewer than 80,000. So the destru
48、ction brought by technological change is an old story. Whats new is the failure of workers to share in the fruits of that technological change. Im not saying that coping with change was ever easy. But while there have always been some victims of technological progress, until the 1970s rising productivity translated into rising wages for a great majority of workers. Then the connection was broken. And it wasnt the robots that did it. What did? There is a growing agreement among economists that a key factor in wage decreasing has been workers declining bargaining powera decline wh
