• 2．The sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new Ph.D.program.The move was good for me professionally，but I worried about my husband and daughters I also feared that I wouldn't be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved.
     Anne，our first daughter，came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college.It was challenging to balance classes，work schedules，and being a mom.But I got through it，finding moments of joy along the way.On the nights when I was home，I'd read my class notes out loud with my daughter.She'd respond by asking questions，such as "Mom，what are bacteria？ " It helped us both learn.
     After I graduated，I knew that I would need a Ph.D.jye.ai land the kind of job I wanted.I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new-grad-student anxiety.I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was being selfish-that my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long-term negative impacts on my kids.
     Over the past year，though，I've started to let go of some of this worry.I've realized that we have not only adapted to our new situation，but things are getting better.My husband landed a job that he is happy with.Anne dreams of becoming a marine biologist.Recently，while driving past the cancer institute I work at，Anne said， "Thinking about people having cancer is so.jye.ai，but.I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help. "
     Navigating academia as a young mother is hard，but it's also rewarding.My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens of science，and watching their mom succeed inspires them.I look forward to seeing them follow my footsteps，whatever path they choose.

• 3．Attitudes toward new technologies often along generational lines.That is，generally，younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.
     It is not always the case，though.When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars，there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide.The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car.In a study last year，of all people surveyed，48 percent said they wanted to ride in one，while 50 percent did not.
     The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be.Not everyone wants a driverless car now and no one can get one yet but among those who are open to them，every age group is similarly engaged.
     Actually，this isn't surprising.But older generations are sometime reluctant（勉強(qiáng)的）to adopt new technologies，driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular.Older adults，especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own，are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.
     This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.
     When it comes to driverless cars，differences in attitude are more pronounced based on factors not related to age.College graduates，for example，are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education，59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.
     Where a person lives matters，too.More people who lives in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.
     While there's.jye.ai to believe.jye.ai interest in self-driving cars is going up across the.jye.ai，a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can be becoming mainstream.Once driverless cares are actually available for safe，the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
  
  （1）What happens when a new technology emerges？

  
  A．It further widens the gap between the old and the young.
  B．It often leads to innovations in other related fields.
  C．It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.
  D．It contribute greatly to the advance of society as a whole.
  （2）What does the author say about the driverless car？

  
  A．It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.
  B．It does not seem to create a generational divide.
  C．It may start a revolution in the car industry.
  D．It has given rise to unrealistic expectations.
  （3）Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people？

  
  A．It helps with their mobility.
  B．It saves their energy.
  C．It adds to the safety of their travel.
  D．It stirs up their interest in life.
  （4）Who are likely to be the first to buy the driverless car？

  
  A．The senior.
  B．The educated.
  C．The tech fans.
  D．The wealthy.

• 4．People often plan to receive medical exam but don't，resulting in increasing health care cost.A surprising number of citizens mean to complete tax forms in time but forget to，forcing them to pay unnecessary fines.Many families miss the government deadline to complete financial aid forms，losing out on aid available for child care.
     How can policymakers help people follow through on important tasks？They use carrots and sticks：bonuses，late fees，or regulations.These methods can be clumsy，and often aren't effective for the situation at hand.Reminding people to form simple plans.however，provides a low-cost，simple，and powerful tool.
     Evidence is growing that providing prompts，which push people at key times to think through how and when they will follow through，make people more likely to act on tasks of importance.In one early randomized（隨機(jī)的）-study on tetanus vaccination（疫苗）rates（for example，a team of social psychologists showed that 28%of Oxford University seniors got the shot after being encouraged to review their weekly schedules and to select a possible time to stop by the health center.They were also given a list of times when shots were available and a map showing the health center's location.Only 3%of the seniors got the shot when simply informed about how effective the shots were.
     People who make a plan gain an advantage from their psychological forces.Specifically，they can overcome the tendency to put off as well as the tendency to be overly optimistic about the time it will take to accomplish a task.Imagine Sarah who wants to renew a car insurance，but it will require two hours of travel to and from a garage.Making a plan may lead her to take two hours off and have her responsibilities covered by her colleagues while she is away.Moreover，she will be less likely to underestimate（低估）the time needed to accomplish the task-a particularly common problem for complex tasks.
     People mistakenly believe that their strong intentions are enough to push them to perform desired behaviors.These psychological research results stress the need for policy decisions that encourage plan making and improve social welfare.
  
  （1）What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1？

  
  A．Heavy burden of daily chores.
  B．Lack of task management skills.
  C．Failure to achieve original intentions.
  D．Disappointment of over-ambitions.
  （2）What does the randomized tetanus vaccination（study show？

  
  A．People need to think deeply before they act.
  B．Specific reminders help people accomplish plans.
  C．Awareness of task significance matters in planning.
  D．Seniors need encouragement to have vaccination shots.
  （3）What psychological benefit can people get from making a plan？

  
  A．They are optimistic about the outcome.
  B．They are realistic in the time required.
  C．They are confident to overcome hardship.
  D．They are careful with task arrangements.
  （4）Who may be the intended readers of this text？

  
  A．Government officials.
  B．Medical staff.
  C．Ordinary people.
  D．Social psychologists.

• 5．How to Be Productive During Difficult Times When we have a hard time，we may turn to others for help.（1）

  Well，today we offer you some advice.
     You had better turn yourself into your own hero.That is the idea behind Kendra Levin's self-help book The Hero Is You.He studied stories from many different time periods and many different cultures.He found that many stories had something in common：a hero who goes on a journey.（2）

  Making ourselves the hero in our own story，Levin explains，is of great significance.
     （3）

  In stories，heroes also have a mission-what they want to accomplish and a vision-what they see for themselves.Levin suggests that we write out our mission and vision，not just for a project but for our lives as well.With a clearly defined mission and vision，events in our lives no longer feel like separate events.They become a part of our larger story.
     It's essential to know your strengths and weaknesses.Levin explains that when we know our strengths，we can use them fully.In difficult times，we can make our lives easier by focusing on our strengths.（4）

  All heroes have them.On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn，from jye.aim.The more we know about ourselves and the better we understand ourselves，the better we can figure out what to do to make the most of who.jye.ai already-are.
     You might as well have small goals within a larger goal.Levin reminds us that the hero's journey is not a one-time thing.It is a journey you are on your entire life.So，she suggests having small goals that you can measure in some way.And that's especially helpful if you have a large goal.（5）

  
  
  A.On this journey，the hero overcomes a great challenge and changes for the better.
  B.It's recommended to write out your mission and vision.
  C.To feel a sense of accomplishment，it's so important to break it down into smaller pieces.
  D.She reminds us to be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves.
  E.In stories，writers often give their hero，the main person in the story，a purpose.
  F.We may even wish we had a hero to help us.
  G.It is even more important，she adds，to identify weaknesses.
