Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.

The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.

The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They so spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.

The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been in the news a lot lately. And according to a recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute, about half of today’s work activities could be automated(自动化的) by 2055. Could “teaching” be on that list?

The teacher in the classroom is a human model. When a human teacher is able to show the advantages of learning, learners are more likely to be inspired to work harder and make progress. Even AI with advance technology can’t do this.

So, the chances are that your job is safe for the near future. But it is going to change, and robots will join us quite soon, as teaching assistants.

Recently, a Georgia Tech professor has used an AI teaching assistant in his classroom, which allows him to more effectively manage over 400 students. His AI teaching assistant helps him answer more routine questions, freeing him to deal with some complex problems which are difficult to solve from students.

AI is also being used in South Korea and Japan to help with language learning. Students can go through any variety of conversational practices, and AI can correct mistakes in usage and pronunciation. In fact, research shows that these programs can help solve problems like shyness and frustration(挫败) that can appear when children practice repetitively with a teacher. After all, a robot will not get tired or annoyed no matter how many mistakes a child makes.

This will be the future of AI in the classroom. Should you start packing up your desk? Absolutely not. The bottom line is that these technologies work best when paired with an active human teacher. But it certainly could make your job easier and more efficient.

1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The present teaching conditions.

B.The advantage of human teachers.

C.The purpose of using an AI teaching technology.

2.What does underlined word “complex” means in Chinese?

A.复杂的 B.普遍的 C.完整的

3.In what way is a robot better than a human teacher?

A.It is more patient. B.It is more creative. C.It is more convenient.

4.Who is the passage probably written for?

A.Students. B.Teachers. C.Parents.

5.Which can be the best title for the passage?

A.What will teachers be like in the future?

B.The benefit of using teaching assistants.

C.Could AI take the place of human teachers?

Do you dream of having a sister or brother？According to the recent CCTV news report，China has relaxed its one­child policy (政策) to two­child policy. The government has allowed families to have two children.

Tencent did a survey last week about the two­child policy. On the one hand，up to 53% of parents say they are willing to have a second child. “I am excited about hearing the news. To have two kids means the children can look after each other in the future. Not only can they have a partner to play with，but they can also learn to help one another. This helps them to develop a better personality. I think I won't miss the chance to own a second kid，” says Li Mei，a mother of a 5­year­old daughter from Shanghai.

On the other hand，about 40% of parents say they may not have a second child. One reason is that they are afraid that the child's everyday expenses (费用) and education would be a big problem. They couldn't afford them. “I think the policy itself is pretty good，but I don't think it interests me. I won't consider a second child. Everything is very expensive at present，and I find it very difficult to raise another child，” says Han Dong from Chongqing，who has just had a boy.

Though people have different opinions，they agree that China has made great progress already in the two­child policy.

1.China has relaxed its two­child policy to one­child policy.

2.According the survey, up to 53% of parents say they are willing to have a second child.
