8、odern physical theory and changed our accepted view of the structure of the universe.Born in a small town near Shanghai, Wu attended a school started by her father, who believed in education for girls, despite it being an uncommon belief at that time. She went on to study physics at Nanjing Universi
9、ty, where she first pursued mathematics but quickly switched her major to physics, inspired by Marie Curie. And in 1936, she moved to the United States, where she pursued doctors degree in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1940. Then, she taught briefly at Smith College before b
10、eing hired as Princeton Universitys first female instructor.A year later, Dr. Wu accepted a post at Columbia University, where she became involved in the Manhattan Project, designing and building the worlds first atomic bombs. She held various positions with the university until her retirement in 19
11、81, but is best known for her experiments on beta decay in 1957. Dr. Wus groundbreaking experiments proved Drs. Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yangs theory right. This resulted in Lee and Yang receiving the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for their theory, while Dr. Wus experimental proof of the theory was
12、 overlooked.In her later life, Dr. Wu devoted much of her time to educational programs, promoting girls in the STEM fields both in the US and in China. Her motivational story made her a hero for many young women scientists, just as her name “Chien-Shiung” implies. She was so great that she was elect
13、ed as a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1958, and in 1990, Dr. Wu became the first living scientist with an asteroid named after her. Her book Beta Decay, published in 1965, is still a standard reference for nuclear physicists.4What can we infer about Dr. Wus father?AHe advocated gende

16、reative but controversial.DWell-educated but uninfluential.“When people talk, listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many people.Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle” in which participants are encouraged to talk openly and
17、honestly about the issues they face (such as problems with colleagues). In such a circle, only one person can talk at a time and there is no interruption. A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle suffered less social anxiety and had f
18、ewer worries about work-related matters than those who did not afterwards.Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender, who was a British police officer for 30 years. Eventually he became a negotiator. When he left the force, he realised that his skills might be applicable in the b
19、usiness world. So he set up a firm called the Listening Institute. Mr Mullender defines listening as “the identification, selection and interpretation of the key words that turn information into intelligence. It is crucial to all effective communication.Plenty of people think that good listening is
20、about nodding your head or keeping eye contact. But that is not really listening, Mr Mullender argues. A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the speakers values. Another important point to bear in mind is that, when you talk, you are not listening. “Every time you
21、share an opinion, you give out information about yourself, Mr Mullender says.The lockdown has increased the need for managers to listen to workers, since the opportunities for casual conversation have dwindled. Mr Mullender thinks that many people have become depressed in their isolation (隔离),which
22、can lead to stress and anger. He thinks there may be a business opportunity in helping managers listen more efficiently, so they can enhance employee well-being. After a year of isolation, many workers would probably love the chance to be heard.8What is the value of attending a “listening circle?AEm
23、ployees can relieve stress.BManagers give comfort to colleagues.CEmployees may become more honest.DManagers can solve technology problems.9According to Mr Muilender, the key to being a good listener is _.Atalking with speakersBkeeping eyes communicationCgiving out your informationDfocusing on the an

25、ciple for ManagersRobots have rolled into retail(零售), from free-moving machines in Giant Foods Stores to autonomous shelf-scanners in Walmart. They free up workers from routine tasks, but thats only the beginning.The real benefit of retail robots is the opportunity to capture more data about the pro
26、ducts on the shelves and customer buying patterns, which can increase efficiency and accuracy in stock management. The key is using retail robots as data-collectors within an internet-of-things (IoT), which creates an intelligent digital ecosystem by combining a complex network of connected devices,
27、 objects, and sensors gathering data. With robots in stores, retailers already have the beginnings of IoT solution. For example, Auchan Retail Portugal is launching autonomous shelf-monitoring technology in its supermarkets. As the robots move around the stores, they capture photos of every shelf, w
28、hich are then put into digital form and turned into analysis about out-of-stock goods.Such detailed data is incredibly valuable in retail. For traditional retailers, however, merely tracking what consumers purchase does not paint the entire picture. The real competitive advantage for retailers comes
29、 in knowing what they couldnt purchase but wanted to. Thats where robots come in.In the not-too-distant future, robots may be able to do more than those. Consider a retail robot scanning grocery store and detecting that supplies of sugar-free peanut butter are decreasing at twice the rate of regular
30、 peanut butter. That real-time discovery then activates an automated(自动的) order for more sugar-free peanut butter to be sent to a specific store.As product cycles speed up, retailers will need to become even faster in identifying micro-trends in consumer behavior to produce, distribute, and supply t
31、he goods and services that customers want right now. The key to it may be a robot walking around freely, bringing data from the consumer into the data management system in the cloud.12The retail robots are mainly used to_.Adistribute tasks to workersBcollect sales informationCtake pictures of custom
32、ersDanalyze digital signals13How do the retail robots help improve stock managing?ABy tracking purchasing trends.BBy monitoring the workers.CBy changing information into analysis.DBy creating an intelligent ecosystem.14What does the underlined words “paint the entire picture” in paragraph 3 mean?ADr
33、aw the whole picture.BCapture all data needed.CProvide all necessary information.DImagine everything might happen.15What might be like after using retail robots in the future?AThe product circles will speed up.BCompanies will produce more goods.CCustomers can access data in the cloud.DStock manageme

Previous reports released last month showed that more than 38 percent of adults suffer from insomnia (失眠), with the rate climbing each year._16_.A new study surveyed more than 14,
35、000 people across the country on their sleep and exercise habits. _17_While one in five people in the world have signs of a sleep disorder, only one in ten who exercise regularly reports problems of sleeping.People who own long-sitting lifestyles are more likely to suffer insomnia. _18_ A key step t
36、oward returning to normal lives should be going outdoors more often and working out more regularly._19_ Exercising for at least half an hour daily is a factor that can contribute to high-quality sleep at night. The study also found that some exercises such as swimming, boxing and working out more in
37、 the morning are some of the key factors that contribute to high-quality sleep at night. People who prefer playing balls and sit-ups report longer periods of slow-wave sleep, or deep sleep.Long-term sleeping less than seven hours for most adults will increase the risk of sudden death by 26 percent.
38、_20_ Therefore, more time spent on sport everyday matters much to your health.ASound sleep at night is also closely linked to enough sport time.BThe reason is that their inactivity disturbs the biological clock.CAnd the number of people who cant sleep well is increasing sharply.DIt indicated the obv
39、ious link between sleeping hours and the exercise habits.EThey also warned that more than 80 percent of teenagers do not get enough sleep.FThe teenagers who have sleeping problems perform worse than those who have good sleep.GEnough good sleep at night is also closely linked to stronger immunity (免疫

Language learning is nothing new, of course, but technology has made it _22_ than ever to grasp.The popularity of language-learning apps in
41、particular has _23_ around the world, especially as more people are working or studying at home. They are usually easy and _24_ to use because you can _25_ them on your smart phone. And apps can offer languages not popular enough to be _26_ at evening classes or schools or universities.Many of us ar
42、e aiming to learn a foreign language to _27_ us to communicate with people around the world. But, maybe _28_, its the British, who are not well-known for their enthusiasm for language learning, who are leading the way in the _29_ of these apps._30_ ,for anyone trying their hand at a new language, wh
43、at _31_ them to carry on learning when there isnt a teacher around to manage their _32_ ? Colin Watkins from Duolingo said that for UK learners at least, “People are learning because of _33_ ,brain training, family, and relationships, along with school and travel. We want a _34_ use of our time, and
44、 to do something productive on our phones.”Certainly, mastering more than one _35_ is a good thing, and it helps us to bring the world a little closer together.21AluckBfunCeffortDgame22AworseBfasterCbetterDeasier23AboomedBdeclinedCidentifiedDcrashed24AnaturalBessentialCconvenientDworthwhile25Aconnec
