• 2．There's something so wonderfully easy about reading this column in a physical newspaper.You turned the page，and here it is，with few annoyances or distractions，in an ultra-high-definition （超高清的） typeface which was custom-designed with pleasurable reading in mind.Or-wait-are you reading this on a phone？Did you follow a link from Twitter or Facebook？Or maybe you're on a train，or a plane，or you're trying to use your laptop on your cousin's crappy Wi-Fi connection out in the countryside somewhere.In which case，there's a pretty good chance that even getting this far is some kind of minor miracle.
     When talking about the economics of online publishing，the first thing to remember is that job No.1 isn't to get the news to you.Rather， it is to monetise you，by selling you off，in real time，to the highest bidder.This happens every time you click on a link，before the page has even started to load on your phone.Once upon a time，if you and I both visited the same web page at the same time using the same web browser，we would end up seeing the same thing.Today，however，an almost unthinkably enormous ecosystem of scripts and cookies and auctions and often astonishingly personal information is used to show you a set of brand messages and sales pitches which are tailored almost uniquely to you.
     That ecosystem raises important questions about privacy and just general creepiness-the way that the minute you look at a pair of shoes online，for instance，they then start following you around every other website you visit for weeks.But whether or not you value your privacy，you are damaged，daily，by the sheer weight of all that technology.
     Online ads have never got less annoying over time，and you can be sure that mobile ads are going to get more annoying as well，once Silicon Valley has worked out how to better identify who you are.The move to greater privacy protections might help slow the pace with which such technologies are adopted.But there's no realistic hope that websites will actually improve from here.If you want to avoid the dreadful experience of the mobile web，you'll only have one choice-which is to start reading your articles natively，in the Facebook or Apple News app.But it won't be Facebook and Apple who killed the news brands.It'll be ad tech.
  
  （1）What is the main purpose of the first paragraph？

  
  A．To introduce various reading styles.
  B．To lead to the topic to be talked about.
  C．To show the strengths of physical newspapers.
  D．To compare physical newspapers with electronic reading.
  （2）Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence？

  
  A．The reader is taken advantage of.
  B．The reader's demand is satisfied.
  C．The reader's interest is motivated.
  D．The reader is cheated by the news.
  （3）What is the author's attitude towards the economics of online publishing？

  
  A．Critical.
  B．Neutral.
  C．Supportive.
  D．Ambiguous.
  （4）What could be learned from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Silicon Valley is as famous as Facebook.
  B．Online ads have become less troublesome.
  C．Ad tech is a good solution to privacy protection.
  D．It is tough to be rid of the annoyances brought about by ads.

• 3．According to a new study，teens focus on rewards and have a hard time learning to avoid punishment or consider the consequences of alternative actions．
      University College London researchers compared how teens and adults learn to make choices based on the available information．They tracked the way in which 18 volunteers aged 12-17 and 20 volunteers aged 18-32 completed tasks in which they had to choose between abstract symbols．
     Each symbol was consistently associated with a fixed chance of a reward，punishment，or no outcome．As the trial progressed ，participants learned which symbols were likely to lead to each outcome and adjusted their choices accordingly．Teens and adults were equally good at learning to choose symbols associated with reward，but teens were less good at avoiding symbols associated with punishment．Adults also performed significantly better when they were told what would have happened if they had chosen the other symbol after each choice，while teens did not appear to take this information into account．
     "From this experimental lab study we can draw conclusions about learning during the teen years．We find that teens and adults learn in different ways，something that might be relevant to education，" said lead author Dr．Stefano Palminteri． " Unlike adults，teens are not so good at learning to adjust their choices to avoid punishment．This suggests that incentive systems based on reward rather than punishment may be more effective for this age group．Additionally，we found that teens did not learn from being shown what would have happened if they made alternative choices．"
     To interpret the results，the researchers developed computational models of learning and ran simulations （模擬）applying them to the results of the study．The first was a simple model，one that learned from rewards，and the second model added to this by also learning from the option that was not chosen．The third model was the most complete and took the full context into account，with equal weight given to punishment avoidance and reward seeking．For example，obtaining no outcome rather than losing a point is weighted equally to gaining a point rather than having no outcome．
     Comparing the experimental data to the models，the team found that teens" behavior followed the simple reward-based model while adults" behavior matched the complete，contextual model． "Our study suggests that teens are more receptive to rewards than they are to punishments of equal value， " said senior author Dr．Sarah-Jayne Blakemore． "As a result，it may be useful for parents and teachers to frame things in more positive terms．"
  
  （1）It can be learned from the study that

  ．
  A．adults made choices faster than teens
  B．adults understood rewards better than teens
  C．teens reacted better to reward than punishment
  D．teens were aware of the outcome of each choice
  （2）What do we know about the three computational models？

  
  A．They reflected people's strong desire for punishment avoidance．
  B．They gave circumstances different degrees of consideration．
  C．They paid equal attention to reward and punishment．
  D．They shaped the behavior of people at different ages．
  （3）The underlined word "receptive" in the last paragraph probably means

  ．
  A．accustomed
  B．opposed
  C．sympathetic
  D．responsive
  （4）According to the writer，which of the following statements works best for teens？

  
  A．"If you insist on doing things in this way，you will lose ten points． "
  B．"If we had talked about this earlier，you wouldn't have made the mistake． "
  C．"If you hand in your assignment ahead of time，you will get an extra bonus．"
  D．"If you want to approach a problem differently ，you can talk to your parents． "

• 4．Currently，it's the beginning of the rainy season in the heart of Brunei（文萊），and I have never been so sweaty.Last night I was poking at insects larger than I'd ever seen or even，in my worst nightmares，imagined existed，but despite this，I'm still having the time of my life.
     I'm on a taxonomy expedition at the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre in the Kingdom of Brunei Darussalam with a small group of entomologists（昆蟲學家），biotech researchers and laypeople（門外漢）like me.We are searching for new species in the rainforest under the guidance of a research organization.Taxon Expeditions is one of a new crop of private organizations that is tapping into the pockets of people who are science-curious but not science-trained.We help to fund this research，and we get to participate in it.
     I can't emphasise how remarkable this is.I spent a lot of time as a child dozing in my Snoopy sleeping bag under the table in my mother's lab as she worked on her Ph.D.in development genetics.Sequencing DNA in the 1980s wasn't something that a person just did in a few hours，and it certainly wasn't done using a device that fitted in the palm of one's hand.And the result wasn't then immediately cross-referenced with an offline version of an online public database of more than 5.3 million "DNA barcodes" to see if the organism being sequenced is a newly discovered species.
     And the craziest thing about all of this is that the sequencer costs less than ￡1，000 from a company based in Oxford.I would recommend pairing up with an actual geneticist，a biotech expert and a real entomologist to make sense of the data，but the implications for the future of access to hands-on science are astonishing.Mark my words：we are less than a generation away from an army of layperson bioprospectors（生物勘探員）working the field using a little bit of scientific training and a lot of YouTube online knowledge.
     But if a trip to the rainforest with an organisation like Taxon is out of the question，then you can still do research as close as your back garden.The same group that took me to the rainforest went to the Vondel-park in the centre of Amsterdam and identified a new wasp that had never been recorded by science.And yes，the sequencer - while less expensive than a high-end smart-phone -- does require a little more training than a touchscreen.But this kind of science is rapidly trickling down to the rest of us，so getting any science kit or apps in the hands of your kids or grand-kids this holiday season is an investment.Because there's noting like discovery to fuel the future.
  
  （1）What can we learn about the writer of the passage？

  
  A．The writer is a biotech researcher.
  B．The writer is interested in science despite not being an expert.
  C．The writer had spent a lot of money participating in the expedition.
  D．The writer is a staff member at the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Center.
  （2）The underlined phrase "tapping into the pickets of people" probably means "

  ".
  A．trying to make money from people
  B．attempting to arouse people's interest
  C．trying to develop the potential of people
  D．attempting to boost people's knowledge
  （3）Why does the writer say that the implications for the future of access to hands-on science are astonishing？

  
  A．Because teaming up with real experts to work on a project is by no means easy.
  B．Because scientific devices like sequencers are affordable for the average person.
  C．Because the assistance of non-professional bio prospectors aiding in scientific research is less than a generation away.
  D．Because affordable devices，basic scientific training，and online knowledge make it possible for the average person to conduct useful research.
  （4）We can conclude from the passage that

  .
  A．scientific research is still restricted to some trained experts
  B．devices like sequencers are easier to operate than smart-phone
  C．one doesn't need to be scientifically trained to take part in valuable research
  D．doing research in one's own garden can help promote the development of science

• 5．Excellence is a form of currency（通貨）.While a commitment to excellence can help you gain true wealth and realize the inbuilt value of your potential，a lack of commitment devalues potential and reputation.
     If you are to become the person you were meant to be on the day you were born，do whatever you do with all your might.（1）

  .If you accept being average and ordinary，life will make you average and ordinary.
     （2）

  .But it has everything to do with decision，commitment and action.And excellence is a destination for anyone who appreciates，respects，and demonstrates hard work and good judgement!
     We all have a range of career choices and opportunities.But we expand the range and quality of our choices when we practice excellence.（3）

  .So attempt to make every opportunity one of importance because every opportunity counts.
     What is considered excellent today will become the minimum cost of admission tomorrow.（4）

  .Obviously the bar is constantly being raised.If you don't produce excellent results consistently，someone else will.
     There is no mercy period for averageness，and you must have a zero tolerance policy for it.People expect the best.（5）

  .So never relax the rules of excellence.When you come to terms with quality，you suffer physical and emotional withdrawal from your goals.You should have the belief that the efficiencies of your business and life are infinite （極大的），that everything can be improved upon，that every project can be completed in an excellent fashion.Why？Because when it comes to excellence，everything counts!
  
  A.Being average is a choice.
  B.You're only as good as your last performance.
  C.It creates confidence and enhances peace of mind.
  D.And we reduce them when we accept being average.
  E.If they can't get it from you，they'll find it elsewhere.
  F.You will never live longer than its importance and usefulness.
  G.Being world-class has nothing to do with size，education，or bloodline.
