Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-distance friendships. • Set a regular date Long-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact (联系) and share with one another. With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge. 36 . • More isn't always merrier Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both. 37 . There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat. • Practise empathy (共情) 38 . The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned. • 39 Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends' birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you. • Don't rely on technology alone 40 , but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain. Try to seek out chances to renew friendships. How to do it? Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible.1. 36A: Remember important datesB: Compensate by writing lettersC: It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeperD: Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to itE: Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communicationF: It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social mediaG: You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind2. 37A: Remember important datesB: Compensate by writing lettersC: It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeperD: Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to itE: Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communicationF: It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social mediaG: You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind3. 38A: Remember important datesB: Compensate by writing lettersC: It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeperD: Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to itE: Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communicationF: It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social mediaG: You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind4. 39A: Remember important datesB: Compensate by writing lettersC: It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeperD: Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to itE: Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communicationF: It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social mediaG: You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind5. 40A: Remember important datesB: Compensate by writing lettersC: It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeperD: Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to itE: Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communicationF: It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social mediaG: You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind

With those born with natural talents, it feels as if they excel without really trying. But what about those of us who don’t have a natural talent? We’ve been told all our lives that if you work hard, you too can succeed. But with the release of Angela Duckworth’s Grit, we are given a new key to success.“As much as talent counts, effort counts twice,” says Duckworth in Grit. She introduces a new concept that talent may be overrated, and if you want real success, what you need is grit, the perfect combination of passion and persistence. Even if you have natural talent, it’s nothing without grit.Duckworth says grit is the difference between success and failure. A person who has grit is more likely to succeed than a person who does not. When we think about attaining success—whether it’s landing that job or learning that new skill—our thoughts are immediately burdened by all the things we must first learn. If you want that new job, you have to learn the job skills, then the interview skills, then the dress part—and you must be perfect at all of them. Grit is different because it tells us that perfection isn’t the goal.Grit lifts the unreasonable expectations off our shoulders. Grit tells us that the door is open wider than we first thought possible. Grit allows us to redefine our goals. Think about it: what’s something you’ve always wanted to do, but gave up because you “don’t have the skills for it”? What’s something you love but aren’t good at?The real workings of grit are to have sustainable passion and continue to try. Effort means more than your natural ability. Even if you haven’t mastered a skill, grit tells you that you can still succeed if you can transform your passion into action. In a way, Duckworth is giving new hope to people who have shut the doors on their dreams. She is saying it is possible that you can accomplish anything. If at first you fail, then try one more time with grit.(1)单选题51. What does the passage say about people born with natural talents?A. They seem to outdo others without hard work.B. They appear to know all the secrets to success.C. They feel it only too logical to succeed.D. They are bound to excel effortlessly.

Robots are famously cold，hard and unfeeling，so they may not be the greatest audience for your favourite knock-knock joke.However，scientists in Japan are looking to change their reputation，by teaching them when and how to laugh using artificial intelligence. The researchers created an android，named "Erica"，which they trained to detect laughter in conversation，then decide whether to laugh in response and what kind of laughter would be best.Her conversations and chuckles（轻笑）were then watched by volunteers，who decided whether her responses demonstrated empathy and human-likeness. Lead author Dr Koji Inoue，from Kyoto University，said： "We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy.Conversation is，of course，multi-modal，not just responding correctly.So we decided that one way a robot can empathize（产生共鸣）with users is to share their laughter，which you cannot do with a text-based chatbot（聊天机器）." The aim of the research was to develop an AI that can understand slight differences in humour.While it would be possible to train an algorithm（计算程序）to recognize laughter，or read out a joke，these abilities would not enable it to copy natural conversation. The researchers first developed a "shared-laughter " model for Erica to run，which would allow her to respond to human laughter as an empathetic response.This model asks three questions in order for the robot to appropriately respond to a conversational cue.First is "Did the user laugh？"，then "Will Erica laugh in response？" and finally，if she responds yes to both， "Which type of laughter is proper？".The types of laughter Erica would choose from are a "social laugh"，a polite chuckle to fill conversation when humour is not involved，or a "mirthful laugh" for funny situations. To teach the AI to use the shared-laughter model effectively，the researchers gathered data by sending the robot speed dating.Erica，who was remotely operated by four female actors，had over 80 dialogues with male university students.The laughter that appeared during the conversations was then classified into solo，social or mirthful.This was then used to train Erica's neural network how to decide when it is appropriate to laugh，and which type of laughter to use. 1.What the scientists in Japan exactly want to do in this research？ ______ A.To change the robot's reputation. B.To use artificial intelligence. C.To teach the robot when and how to laugh. D.To create a new android. 2.What can be inferred according to Dr Koji's words？ ______ A.Empathy is the most important function of conversational AI. B.Sharing their laughter can make a robot empathize with users. C.Multi-modal is one of the characteristics of conversation. D.Conversation only needs to respond correctly. 3.Which statement will the author probably agree with？ ______ A. text-based chatbot can have sympathy for others. B.An algorithm can not recognise laughter，and read out a joke. C.Erica can learn to laugh from three questions. D.The actors and students can give examples of laugh. 4.Which can be the best title for the text？ ______ A.Scientists try to teach a robot when it is appropriate to laugh. B.Robots know how to laugh after learning and training. C.A new trend is coming as artificial intelligence learns to laugh. D.Researchers try to teach a robot how to make a conversation.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
