A
MARIJUANA RESEARCH GETS SERIOUS Eight states voted to legalize marijuana for medical or recreational use in 2016, putting the total number of states with some form of legal pot at 28. In states where it is legal, doctors already prescribe it for things like pain, depression, migraines and PTSD – but research has been limited by federal drug laws. A growing quorum of scientists is calling for legitimate research into marijuana’s potential as a form of medicine. SUPERBUGS BECOME A SUPERTHREAT In 2016, global leaders promised to address the growing issue of drug resistance – meaning bacteria that can no longer be treated with antibiotics – during a historic meeting at the U.N. headquarters in New York City. Major progress is yet to be seen, but companies like McDonald’s have vowed to phase out antibiotics in their chicken, and scientists are hunting for new drug compounds in places like caves and the oceans. CRISPR TACKLES CANCER CRISPR is the most hyped technology in medicine for good reason: it allows scientists to easily and inexpensively edit any place of DNA from nearly any species. Recently Chinese scientists have used CRISPR to treat a person with lung cancer. Meanwhile, U.S. scientists are working on the first human trials using CRISPR to treat cancer stateside – the first of what will surely be many studies like it.
CLIMATE CHANGE AS PUBLIC- HEALTH THREAT Climate change and pollution are contributing to the spread of infectious disease, less nutritious food, asthma and dangerous heat waves. In response, the U.S. and other nations have committed to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions
by as much as 28% below 2005 levels by 2025. It remains to be seen if President-elect Donald Trump will honor that commitment, but scientists say the issue is only growing more critical. 56. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A magazine. B. A self-help book. C. A brochure. D. A manual. 57. From the passage we know that ________________.
A. marijuana will surely be more widely prescribed by doctors for medical treatment in the U.S. B. McDonald’s chicken treated with antibiotics has contributed to the spread of super bacteria C. Chinese and U.S. scientists have made progress in using CRISPR technology to treat disease
D. U.S. President will observe the commitment as climate change is threatening public health B
Early last year, the World Economic Forum issued a paper warning that technological change is on the verge of upending the global economy. To fill the sophisticated jobs of tomorrow, the authors argued, the ‘reskilling and upskilling of today’s workers will be critical’. Around the same time, the then president Barack Obama announced a ‘computer science for all’ programme for elementary and high schools in the United States. ‘We have to make sure all our kids are equipped for the jobs of the future, which means not just being able to work with computers but developing the analytical and coding skills to power our innovation economy,’ he said.
But the truth is, only a tiny percentage of people in the post-industrial world will ever end up working in software engineering, biotechnology or advanced manufacturing. Just as the huge machines of the industrial revolution made physical strength less necessary for humans, the information revolution frees us to complement, rather than compete with, the technical competence of computers. Many of the most important jobs of the future will require soft skills, not advanced algebra.
Back in 1983, the sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild coined the term ‘emotional labour’ to describe the processes involved in managing the emotional demands of work. She explored the techniques that flight attendants used to maintain the friendly manners their airline demanded in the face of abusive customers: taking deep breaths, silently reminding themselves to stay cool, or building empathy for the nasty passenger. ‘I try to remember that if he’s drinking too much, he’s probably really scared of flying,’ one attendant explained. ‘I think to myself: “He’s like a little child.”’
Across the economy, technology is edging human workers into more emotional territory. In retail, Amazon and its imitators are rapidly devouring the market for routine purchases, but to the extent that bricks-and-mortar shops survive. It is because some people prefer chatting with a clerk to clicking buttons. Already, arguments for preserving rural post offices focus less on their services–handled mostly online–than on their value as centers for community social life.
In the sphere of medicine, one of the toughest moments of a physician’s job is sitting with a patient, surveying how a diagnosis will alter the landscape of that patient’s life. That is work no technology can match–unlike surgery, where autonomous robots are learning to perform with superhuman precision. With AI now being developed as a diagnostic tool, doctors have begun thinking about how to complement these automated skills. As a strategic report for Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) put it in 2013:‘The NHS could employ hundreds of thousands of staff with the right technological skills, but without the compassion to care, then we will have failed to meet the needs of patients.’
A growing real-world demand for workers with empathy and a talent for making other people feel at ease requires a serious shift in perspective. It means moving away from our singular focus on academic performance as the road to success. It means giving more respect, and better pay, to workers too often generically dismissed as ‘unskilled labour’. And, it means valuing skills more often found among working-class women than highly educated men. 58. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. President Obama launched a programme to develop people’s soft skills. B. There is no need for people to continue developing technical skills. C. Today’s workers have to update their skills to compete with machines. D. Future jobs will require less physical strength but more soft skills.
59. The underlined word “empathy” in Paragraph 3 probably means the ability _____________. A. to understand others B. to forgive others C. to respect others D. to appreciate others
60. According to the passage, which work of the following jobs doesn’t involve managing emotional demands? A. Software engineers. B. Flight attendants. C. Shop clerks. D. Medical workers. 61. What is the author’s attitude towards emotional skills? A. Critical. B. Unclear. C. Favorable. D. Negative. C
Although it might have happened anywhere, my encounter with the green banana started on a steep mountain road in the interior of Brazil. My ancient jeep was straining up through spectacular countryside when the radiator (散热器) began to leak ten miles from the nearest mechanic. The over-heated engine forced me to stop at the next village, which consisted of a small store and scattering of houses. People gathered to look. Three fine streams of hot water spouted
