The philosopher,Martin Buber,is most known for his work on "I-Thou/You" relationships in which people are open,direct,mutually interested in each other.In contrast,"I-It" relationships are those in which we use the other,like an object,to solve our problems and fulfill our needs and purposes. It is not our fault that many of our relationships are or become "It" relationships because most of what we feel,think and do is motivated by unconscious memories of how to survive the environment.Thus,one of the reasons we use other people to help us feel better about ourselves and cope in the world is that using people was once necessary and it worked.When we were small and helpless,"It" came and-fed us,and held us,and set us on our way.We didn't have to reciprocate and care for "It".Even when the care and attention of "it" was minimal or unpredictable,if we got out of childhood alive,somewhere along the way "it" was involved. When we are very young,other people are always "it"s whom we use to fulfill our needs.Freud called this stage of early life "primary narcissism",which is our instinct for self-preservation and is a normal part of our development.While most of us grow out of it,we still hold a survival fear,which motivates us to escape danger and to stay alive,and we all need this fear in healthy measure. The problem is that too many of us,too much of the time,are in a constant state of threat--and we often don't know it.We imagine people are talking about us behind our backs,that we have cancer,that we are inadequate,and vulnerable to more than our share of bad luck.As our brains have grown in size and complexity,so has our ability to scare ourselves. This causes many problems.For example,our stress levels increase,our digestion is impaired and our thinking becomes restricted.Our threat response stops any bodily function,feeling,thought and behavior that might "waste" energy and detract from fighting or escaping danger.Thus,when in threat,our emotional,cognitive and behavioral range is significantly reduced. And in this reduced state,one of our solutions is to find someone who can save and comfort us.Instead of enabling us to be open,direct and mutual,fear and anxiety lead us towards conversations and choices in our relations with others that are orientated towards surviving--not thriving.Threat-motivated relationships are characterized by need,dependency,control,demand,dishonesty,and self-interest. We cannot form the "I-Thou" relationships that Buber speaks of until we have learned to notice,comfort,and understand the emotions and patterns of our threat brain.When in threat,we tend to use other people as objects who can save and protect us,or who we can blame for our problems.(1)When a person reciprocates,he tends to ______ .A.ask for some advice.B.return the favour.C.convey an apology.D.make some comments.(2)What can we learn about "primary narcissism"? ______A.It leads to our fear.B.It impacts our growth negatively.C.It is normal and usually temporary.D.It lays the foundation for Freud's theory.(3)Which of the following could be an example of "it" relationships'? ______A.Comforting an upset friend.B.Feeling sorry for your mistakes.C.Asking others to take on your task.D.Trying hard to be independent.(4)What would be the best title for this passage'? ______A.How We Can Form the "I-Thou" RelationshipsB.How We Can Get Out of the "I-It" RelationshipsC.What Helps Us Survive and Thrive in Early Stages of LifeD.Why We Treat Others as Objects Rather Than Individuals

Having finished their morning work, the clerks stood up behind their desks, ______ themselves.A. expandingB. stretchingC. prolongingD. extending

One summer night in a seaside cottage，a boy felt himself lifted from bed.Then，with the swiftness of a dream，he was held in his father's arms out onto the nearby beach.Overhead the sky blazed with stars. "Watch!" Incredibly，as his father spoke，one of the stars moved.In a line of golden fire it flashed across the astonished heavens.And before the wonder of this could fade，another star leaped from its place，then another，plunging towards the restless sea. "What's this？" the child whispered. "Shooting stars.They come every year on a certain August night.I thought you'd like to see the show." That was all：just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful. But，back in bed，the child stared for a long time into the dark，knowing that all around the quiet house，the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars. Decades have passed，but I remember that night still，because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night's sleep.No doubt I had all the usual childhood entertainment，but those are forgotten now.What I remember is the night of the shooting stars，and the day we rode in a caboose （列车末尾的职工车厢），the telegraph we made that really worked，and the "trophy table" in the dining room where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found — anything unusual or beautiful — snake skins，seashells，flowers，arrowheads...I remember the thought-provoking （引人深思的） books left by my bedside that pushed back my horizons and sometimes actually changed my life. My father had，to a marvellous degree，the gift of opening doors for his children，of leading them into areas of splendid newness.This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child's world doesn't necessarily require a great deal of time.It simply involves doing things more often with our children instead of for them or to them.（1）What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean？ ____ A．The child was still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now.B．The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness.C．The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars.D．The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him.（2）All the things the author remember from his childhood are ____ .A．unusual and novelB．dangerous and demandingC．strange and uncommonD．educational and thought-provoking（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？ ____ A．Parents should interfere more with their children's learning.B．Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own.C．Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children.D．Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life.（4）What's the best title for this passage？ ____ A．Limitless knowledgeB．Father，the hero of my lifeC．Curiosity aroused that nightD．The unusual things in my life

A new study suggests the singing noises made by humpback whales(座头鲸) might be a sign of loneliness. Scientists who recorded humpback whales 'behavior in Australia discovered that fewer whales made the singing noises, also called wailing, as their population grew. "Humpback whale song is loud and travels far in the ocean," said marine biologist Rebecca Dunlop of the University of Queensland in Brisbane. She has long studied humpback whales and helped lead the new study. Her work has centered on humpbacks that reproduce near Australia 's Great Barrier Reef. Dunlop told The Associated Press she made an unexpected finding as whale numbers sharply rose following the end of commercial whaling(捕鲸). "It was getting more difficult to actually find singers," she said. Dunlop added, "When there were fewer of them, there was a lot of singing—now that there are lots of them, there is no need to be singing so much." Scientists first began to hear and study the complex songs of the humpback whales in the 1970s. They used underwater microphones to do so. Only male whales sing. Eastern Australia 's humpback whales came close to disappearing in the 1960s when their number dropped to around 200. But over time the population began to regrow, climbing to about 27,000 whales by 2015. That number is near estimated pre-whaling levels. As the density of whales increased, their singing behavior changed. While 2 in 10 males made wailing noises in 2004, 10 years later the number had dropped to 1 in 10, Dunlop said. The team 's study appeared in a recent issue of Nature Communications Biology. Dunlop said she thought singing played a big part in bringing in mates when populations were severely reduced. "It was hard just to find other whales in the area because there weren 't many," she added. "When humpbacks live in denser populations, males looking for mates also have to deal with competing whales." Dunlop explained the singing noises might bring in other possible mates. The research suggests the seas are still noisy with humpback whale sounds. Many humpbacks seek to bring in mates with a combination of singing and physical movements, the study notes. The large increase in the humpback population during the study period provided valuable data about changes in the animals 'behavior, said Simon Ingram. He studies humpback whales at the University of Plymouth in Britain. Ingram said humpback whales must have been singers long before whaling reduced their number. But the new study demonstrates how necessary their complex and beautiful songs were for their survival and recovery.1、 According to Paragraph 1, humpback whales make singing noises probably to ______.look for foodattack rivalslead other whalesexpress emotions2、 According to Paragraph 3, what can we learn about Dunlop 's finding? ______All the whales are good singers.Humpback whales are too lazy to sing.Commercial whaling helps protect the Great Barrier Reef.More humpback whales lead to the reduction of singing noises.3、 Why do male humpback whales sing? ______Because it can help them find mates.Because it can attract other male whales.Because it can resist commercial whaling.Because it can damage underwater microphones.4、 What 's probably Dunlop 's research field? ______Ocean biology.Animal science.Physical science.Commercial whaling.5、 According to Simon Ingram, humpback whales ______.stop singing after the whaling ends in Plymouthrely on their songs for their survival and recoverychange their singing behavior constantly in Britainmake more singing noises with the help of scientists

We have to ________ apart to two groups, but let us be brothers forever.

A special copyright（版权）case has recently drawn attention because is it related to artificial intelligence（人工智能，简称AI）.A court in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent's AI enjoys copyright protection.A website broke the law because it used the article without permission. This is the first case in China that has provided copyright protection to work done by AI.But what does it indicate？Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future？ Probably not.AI is not yet able to write creative stories.The news report mentioned above is mainly about data.Since AI is good at processing（处理） data，it is often used to write financial（金融的）reports.Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters，which mainly require basic facts such as "where" and "when".As Forbes wrote，instead of losing their jobs，journalists can make their work more efficient by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less on numbers. AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields.For example，Wayne McGregor，a British choreographer （编舞者），whose job is to arrange how dancers should move during a performance，is famous for using AI to create new dances.For him，AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements.McGregor is not worried that AI might replace human artists. "AI can't judge the quality of the dance design，" he said. "It's time to stop worrying about whether AI can be creative，" according to Forbes.Instead，we should focus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.（1）According to the copyright case related to AI，we know that ____ .A.I can also break the lawB.news stories cannot be written by AIC.articles written by AI also have copyright protectionD.AI can copy others' articles without permission（2）Which kind of articles might AI be good at writing？ ____ A.Romantic stories.B.Earthquake reports.C.Horror stories.D.Public speeches.（3）Wayne McGregor agrees that ____ .A.I helps him do creative workB.AI can create new dances by itselfC.AI might replace human artistsD.AI can teach people how to dance（4）Which of the following might be the author's view？ ____ A.Many jobs will disappear due to AI.B.We should make laws against AI.C.AI is difficult to use.D.We should work together with AI.
