New Deal Design, one of the world’s leading tech design studios, has invented an artificial intelligence-quipped toy to fight the “distraction economy”by developing children’s attention spans.
Called Spot, the toy is aimed at learning and discovery. It functions primarily as a handheld scanner that kids can point at an object around them, such as a flower or a bird, to hear it talk back. Using its AI software, Spot recognizes the object and voices a little monologue (独白) from it, processing information to suit children aged five to nine.
There’s also a secondary function that comes into play at bedtime, when Spot uses its in-built projecto (投影仪) to present a story made up around the day’s discoveries.
Spot is a concept at this stage, one that grew, out of the research New Deal Design conducted into children’s development. The designers found that the right kind of toy could encourage focus, as opposed to instant satisfaction. They wanted to cultivate a kind of junior-level mindfulness that would set kids up with positive life skills.
In terms of appearance, Spot has a complicated look, with its 3D camera fixed in the head. The models are smooth, including a wooden handle, a button and a base. The choice of materials was inspired by traditional kids’ building blocks.
When Spot recognizes an object, it blinks to signal it has locked the target. Its head also locks into place to avoid any shaking. As an example, New Deal Design describes a girl called Max, who among other things, encounters a robin while out with the toy. Via Spot, the bird says, “Hi Max, my name is Robin! Did you know…”
At that night’s Story Time, Spot starts “Once upon a time there was a little girl named
Max who met a robin. One day, Max asked the robin…”New Deal Design says that day summaries like this helps kids to relax and get better sleep. Seeing themselves at the centre of stories also helps to build self-confidence and self-awareness.
8．In which aspect do children benefit from this artificial intelligence-equipped toy?
A. Encouraging focus.
B. Giving an instant satisfaction.
C. Learning self-control.
D. Cultivating junoir-level ability. 9．According to the passage, which statement about Spot is right?
A. Spot’s monologues are age-specific.
B. Spot tells stories programmed in advance.
C. Spot has already been used to fight the “distraction economy”.
D. Spot’s appearance was inspired by traditional kids’ building blocks.
10．According to the text, who will the toy be useful for?
A. Tom, two years old, can’t recognize an object around him.
B. Max, eight years old, wants to make up a story about robin.
C. Tina, nine years old, can’t concentrate her atte ntion on her class.
D. Mike, twelve years old, wants to learn something about artificial intelligence.
11．What is the text mainly about?
A. A scientific invention.
B. A learning program.
C. An creative method.
D. A tech design studios.
It’s one of the ultimate tests of willpower: you’ve been wandering around the market for hours and you’re tired and hungry. Then you catch a smell of something fragrant (香的) and delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. Junk food companies are well aware t hat the smell of their product sets off a desire in your brain and that you’ll pay for that later. It is a response that has been researched, and you’d better believe your favorite fast-food chains have marketing teams that are using that research to their advantage.
Let’s take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever indulgent food (放纵型食品) catches your attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? A couple of minutes later you are standing in line, and it isn’t quite as appealing as it was just moments ago, but now you’ve invested time, so you trust your first feeling to treat yourself.
But a recent statement says that this is actually the right moment to walk away. Dipayan Biswas, a marketing professor, found there is a direct connection between how long a person is exposed to indulgent food smells and choosing healthier foods. “The results of a series of
experiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food smells leads to fewer purchases of unhealthy foods compared with no smell or a non-junk-food-related smell,” reads the summary of his study.
What appears to be going on here is that the brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell and a pleasant taste. “Extended exposure to an indulgent food smell brings pleasure in the mind, which in turn reduces the desire for actual consumption of indulgent foods,” he explains. So next time you feel you don’t have the willpower to resist cookies, smell all that sweetness for ju st a minute or two. To your brain it’s the same as actually eating cookies, and the purchase desire would decrease.
12．What can we learn about junk food smells from the first paragraph?
A. They can make a difference in marketing.
B. They hardly affect people’s food choices.
C. They are unlikely to fool wise customers.
D. They finally decrease people’s purchase desire.
13．What does the second paragraph basically serve as?
A. An argument.
B. An example.
C. A comparison.
D. A comment. 14．Which statement will Biswas probably agree with?
A. The brain can’t tell where sensory pleasure is from.
B. The senses of taste and smell are closely linked.
C. The influence of food smells changes over time.
D. The behavior of smelling food doesn’t equal eating it.
15．Which of the following could the best title for the text?
A. Train Your Brain to Resist Junk Food
B. Watch Out for Tricky Marketing Tools
C. Food Addiction Is Never About Willpower
D. Smelling Junk Food Longer Can Keep You Off It
二、七选五
16．Yes, trying new things is exciting and mind-expanding and all that, but it can also be awkward and embarrassing. No one likes to feel embarrassed and incompetent. ①Here are a few ways to feel a little better about launching yourself into a new experience—and help you get over the part of that initial misery to the part where it’s actually fun.
First, we should know we’re born to be afraid of new experiences. From an evolutionary standpoint, trying new things, for much of human history, could have been dangerous. This
means that deep in our brains there’s a primeval (原始的) fear of looking bad, a fear of not performing as well as others. ②It’s part of being human. Enjoyment will come as the newness fades.
Going in with the right mindset is also important. It’s go od to have an end goal in mind.
③ Maybe your new hobby is marathons, for example; running one in under four hours is
a goal, sure, but getting in shape and meeting other runners are worthy outcomes, too.
④Whatever you’re trying, doing a little preparation work beforehand can make your first time a lot less frightening. Want to try your hand at baking? Before you actually bust out the kitchen equipment, maybe watch a few tutorials and take a few minutes to look up all the terms you don’t know. Taking up golf? ⑤ A baseline of knowledge will help you feel a little better the first time you try swinging a club.
A. And it is wise to prepare before you start.
B. Having an end goal will guide you through.
C. Practice playing golf beforehand is a good choice.
D. However, it helps to start with a beginner-friendly one.
E. It’s fine to read a book on the sport before you head to the golf course.
F. Unfortunately, it is unavoidable if beginners want to learn something new.
G. In other words, not lovin g it right away isn’t a sign that you’ve made a mistake.

My mother eyed me with suspicion. I dared not look at her. Knowing that I was late from school five days continuously, I could not offer an acceptable explanation. I knew she did not believe that I had extra classes every day and arrived home after 5 pm. However, realizing she had little choice but to believe in me, she told me that dinner was in the refrigerator. She had to rush for her night shift at the local clinic.
Ever since we lost our dad in an accident, my mother became the breadwinner. I was the eldest among the four siblings and it fell upon my shoulder to ensure that they could become responsible adults. Besides helping mother with the housework, I regularly coached them in their studies. Thankfully, never once had I had to raise my voice or force them to complete their homework. But all of us missed dad very much. He was a model father and husband. Life was cruelly taken away from him at a very young age of 42.
However, my mother managed to pull through and found a job at the clinic. It was very tough on someone like her who had never worked before in her life. But money was scarce and there were five mouths to feed. Dad did not leave much behind. He never suspected he would die so young. We stopped dining out and had our meals mostly at home. We basically lived from hand to mouth. That’s when it dawned on me that I had to do my part for the family. I knew mother would not agree but I threw caution out of the window and managed to get a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant. I worked three hours a day and managed to bring home money so that my siblings and I could go out for occasional movies or meals. I was sure that mother suspected something. But she could not figure out any evidence to the source of her suspicion.
