Many people in the world live in big cities, which are often dirty and difficult places to live. So, some cities will get bigger. They will also get higher, and lower, because people will begin to live under the ground as well as in tall buildings. Scientists also say that men can begin to live in cities under the sea, when there is not enough space on the land. Of course, these new cities will be very expensive, and difficult to build, but they are not impossible. Already, some countries are building places to live under the ground so their people can go there if there is a new war. There are underground cities in Switzerland（瑞士）and China, built by the government（政府）to help some of the people live during a great war.

But will people change if they live under the ground for a long time？For example some fish go blind if they live in the dark sea for a long time. People will not go blind, because there will be light underground, but they may change in some way. Scientists say that people who live in cities today are losing their senses of smell, touch and taste. They can’t smell the dirty air, they can’t taste the chemicals（化学制剂）in their food. These senses are not as strong as before, when people lived in the country and grew their own food. The city has changed that. What will the underground city change in everyone？

1.People will live under the ground because _________．

A．it’s neither hot nor cold there

B．they’ll be afraid of the war

C．there’ll be less space on the ground

D．they’ll make their life comfortable

2.Some countries try to build some places under the ground so that people will be able to live there _____．

A．when summer comes

B．when a war breaks out

C．because they think it’ll be safer for them

D．when they’re fed up with the life on the land

3._________, so people who will live there won’t go blind．

A．There’ll be enough light under the ground

B．It’ll be easy to go upstairs

C．Glasses will be sold under the ground

D．Medicine will be supplied for free

4.People will lose some senses under the ground because _______．

A．the world are polluted

B．it’s dark there

C．the air is dirty and there are a lot of chemicals in their food

D．they can’t grow their own food in the sun

Advances in artificial intelligence and the use of big data are changing the way many large companies recruit (招募) entry level and junior management positions. These days, graduates’ CVs may well have to impress an algorithm (算法) rather than an (human resources) manager.

While algorithms supposedly treat each application equally, experts are divided about whether so-called robo-recruitment promises an end to human prejudice in the selection process —or whether it may in fact add to it.

“AI systems are not all equal,” says Loren Larsen, chief technology officer for HireVue, which has developed an automated video interview analysis system. “I think you have to look at the science team behind the work,” says Mr Larsen.

The problem, experts say, is that to find the best candidates an algorithm has first to be told what “good” looks like in any given organization. Even if it is not given criteria that seem discriminatory, a powerful machine-learning system will quickly be able to copy the characteristics of existing workers. If an organization has favoured white male graduates from well-known universities, the algorithm will learn to select more of the same.

The growing dependence on automation to judge suitability for everything from a loan to a job worries Yuriy Brun, an associate professor specializing in software engineering. “It takes a lot of the time for a company to put out software but it doesn’t know if it is discriminatory” he says. Prof Brun explains that, considering the use of big data, algorithms will unavoidably learn to discriminate.

Many of those working with robo-recruiters are more optimistic. Kate Glazebrook, the leader and co-founder of Applied, a hiring platform, says her task is to encourage hiring manager to move away from such indicators of quality as schools or universities and move to more evidence-based methods. When candidates complete tests online, Applied hides their names and shows the tests the candidates have completed, question by question, to human assessors. Every stage of the process has been designed to remove prejudice.

With the same aim, Unilever decided in 2016 to switch to a more automated process for its graduate-level entry programme. Unilever worked with HireVue, Amberjack, which provides and advises on automated recruitment processes, and Pymetrics, another high volume recruitment company, which developed a game-based test in which candidates are scored on their ability to take risks and learn from mistakes, as well as on emotional intelligence. Unilever says the process has increased the ethnic diversity of its listed candidates and has been more successful at selecting candidates who will eventually be hired.

“The things that we can do right now are impressive, but not as impressive as we’re going to be able to do next year or the year after,” says Mr Larsen.

Still, robo-recruiters must be regularly tested in case prejudice has occurred without anyone realizing it, says Frida Polli, the leader and co-founder of Pymetrics. “The majority of algorithmic tools are most likely causing prejudice to continue existing. The good ones should be examined.”

1.What’s the purpose of adopting automated recruitment processes according to the passage?

A. For the sake of fairness.

B. For the purpose of cutting down costs.

C. To relieve the pressure of staff.

D. To favor graduates from well-known universities.

2.The automated process Unilever adopted in 2016 for its graduate-level entry programme ________.

A. was found to have prejudice

B. was copied by many other companies

C. scored the candidates on their ethnic backgrounds

D. turned out to be less or not racially discriminatory

3.According to Mr Larsen, robo-recruitment ________.

A. is good enough for wide use now

B. is not suitable for practical use now

C. will do better and better in the near future

D. will completely replace HR staff within two years

4.Frida Polli stresses in the last paragraph that algorithmic tools ________.

A. need routine checks

B. will unavoidably have prejudice

C. are mostly good and effective

D. must be combined with human staff

Encouragement and praise can come in many forms,and some ways are better for children’s development than others.Researchers at the University of Chicago who studied mother-child interactions over the course found that the type of praise children receive affects their attitudes toward challenges later in life.Specifically,praise coming with feedback about their behavior that kids made helped them to deal better with difficult experiences five years later,compared with compliments that focused more on the child himself,like “You’re a good boy.”

“This is something we suspected would be the case based on a lot of experimental research,and it’s exciting to see it plays out in the real world,” says Elizabeth,a professor of psychology at Temple University,who led the study.“Praising the efforts,actions and work of the kid is going to be more beneficial in their long-term persistence and work hard in the future.”

Such “process praise” includes comments such as “You worked really hard” or “You’re doing a great job,” which emphasize the child’s actions.“Person praise” includes comments like “You’re so smart” or “You’re so good,” which focus on a child’s inherent qualities.These distinctions aren’t new in the field of psychology,but exactly how they affect children’s development over the years hasn’t been clear.

As part of the study,researchers visited the homes of more than 50 toddlers between the age of 1 and 3 years old,and filmed their daily interactions with their parents during multiple 90-minute sessions.Five years later,the researchers followed up with the families,using questionnaires to measure the children’s attitudes toward challenges and problem solving.The children who grew up with more process praise were more open to challenge,and could identify more ways of overcoming difficult problems.While person praise didn’t seem to have any negative effect on the children,process praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed and improved,while person praise sends the message that their abilities are fixed and therefore not easily changed.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Praising inspires kids to form good personal quality.

B.Praising kids is tested to be effective in the long run.

C.The process of praising kids experiment is suspected.

D.The praising experiment is carried out in real situation.

2.The underlined word “distinctions” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to 　　 .

A.condition 　　　　　　　 B.differences

C.exception 　　　　　　　 D.appearance

3.From the last paragraph we can learn that 　　 .

A.kids should not be praised too frequently

B.different kids should be praised differently

C.process praise is less effective as we expected

D.kids with process praise tend to be more creative

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce a better way to praise kids.

B.To compare two different praising ways.

C.To predict the result of process praising.

D.To report the way of praising experiment.
