Artificial intelligence carries the promise of making industry more efficient and our lives easier.With that promise，however，also comes the fear of job replacement，increased income inequality，and overall dissatisfaction.According to the quarterly CNBC/Survey Monkey Workplace Happiness survey last year，37% of workers between the ages of 18 and 24 were worried about AI stealing their jobs.
But a recent study from two researchers working for the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence（HAI） challenged this public perception（看法） of AI's impact on social welfare.The study found a relationship between AI-related jobs and increases in economic growth，which in return improved the well-being of the society.
Demand for Al-related jobs has been growing constantly in recent years，but this growth has been widely variable between cities and industry.Arizona State University assistant professor Christos Makridis and Saurabh Mishra，HAI AI Index manager and researcher，wanted to understand the effects of AI on society independent of these variables.
For this，they examined the number of AI-related job listings by cities in the U.S. ，using Stanford HAI's AI Index，an open source project that tracks and visualizes data on AI.They found that，between 2014 and 2018，cities with greater increases in AI-related job postings exhibited greater economic growth.This relationship was dependent on a city's ability to take advantage of its natural capabilities in industry and education to create AI-based employment opportunities.This meant that only cities with certain infrastructure，such as high-tech services and more educated workers，benefited from this growth.
Next，the researchers studied how this growth was translated into well-being at a macro（宏觀） level using data from Gallup's U.S.Daily Poll，which surveys 1，000 different people each day on five parts of well-being：physical，social，career，community and financial.They found that AI-related job growth was positively associated with improved state of being，especially for physical，social and financial parts.
This was a surprising finding given the public's concern over AI's potentially unfavorable effects on quality of life and overall happiness.

1．For some people，the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story．（1）
It develops children's language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and，later，work．
A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves．They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants（嬰幼兒）．（2）
The company Scholastic is fl major U．S．publisher of children's books．Every two years，Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits．The 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the U．S．read a book for fun almost every day．

2．Paying ﹩25，000 to get your pet cloned might sound attractive，if you have the money and can't imagine life without your pet.
There are two companies now that can clone your pet：ViaGen and Sooam Biotech.Lab techs there will clone your pet using a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer （體細(xì)胞核移植），the same method used to clone Dolly the sheep in 1996.This involves removing the nucleus from a female's developing egg cell and replacing it with the nucleus from a cell from the animal you want to clone.The new cell is then stimulated （刺激） with an electric shock to make it divide and then implanted into a host organism （有機(jī)體）.
The decision to clone your pet has to take place while they're still alive.You need to sign up with the company and take your pet to the vet so they can harvest some cells.Then，for between ﹩1-2000，the company will store the cells.Even if you decide to stop，there's no refund for the storage.If you decide to have your pet cloned，you'll pay a much larger deposit to perform the cell transfer and implant the cells into a host animal.
What's most important to consumers is the product.Your clone is a twin of your former pet，but it won't necessarily look or act like the original.They may have different colors and you don't get your money back.Even the companies admitted in New York Times "You can clone the look of a dog，but you can't clone the soul."
（1）Why did the author mention Dolly the sheep？
A．To ensure the safety of cloning.
B．To show that it is easy to clone sheep.
C．To prove the technology has a long history.
D．To tell readers the method used to clone their pets.
（2）What can we know about cloning a pet？
A．Your pet can be brought back to life.
B．The charge of pet cloning is ﹩1-2000.
C．Your new pet will have a parent when cloned.
D．The company will refund you if you give up halfway.
（3）What do the companies' words in the last paragraph mean？
A．Cloning is a moral issue.
B．The future of cloning is unclear.
C．The technology of cloning is not perfect.
D．Yon won't get the exact copy of the former one.
（4）Where is the text most likely from？
A．A travel guide.
B．A newspaper.
C．A science fiction.
D．A textbook.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:0:1組卷：21引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．Chinese students always complain that they're under great pressure and don't get enough sleep.But they may be surprised to learn that they're much luckier than their peers（同齡人）in South Korea and Japan，according to a recently published report，conducted by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences on the physical and mental health of senior high school students in the three Asian countries.
According to the study among nearly 6，000 high school students in the three countries，Chinese students are the tallest but poorest in physical fitness.Chinese students are on average 168.17cm，compared with 167.61cm for South Korean students and 164.70cm for Japanese students.Chinese students asked for sick leave more than students in other countries.About 72 percent of Korean students never asked for sick and injury leave during high school，compared to 53 percent for Japanese students and 45 percent for Chinese students.Moreover，Chinese students drink alcohol and smoke earlier than Korean and Japanese students.Around 70 percent of Chinese students have drunk alcohol，compared to 50 percent for Korean and Japanese students.
According to the survey，Japanese and South Korean students suffer more pressure than their Chinese peers.Statistics show 16 percent of students in China said they experienced mental pressure often over the past year，while the numbers in Japan and South Korea were 33 percent and 47 percent respectively.Their worries come from "study"，"future after graduation"， "friendships" and "relationship with their parents".To go with stress，57.9 percent of Korean students sleep the least，less than six hours a day，compared with 46.6 percent of Japanese students and 30 percent of Chinese students.
More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance，double that of students in the survey from Japan and South Korea.The report said that over half of students in South Korea had tried to lose weight in the past year，while in China the figure was only 22 percent.In measures of self-worth，such as "I think I am valuable" and "I think I am successful"，"I can complete many things"， "I won't give up to failure，" Chinese students showed greater self-confidence than students in Japan and South Korea.
