It was a rather crowded day at the subway station.Seeing the busy passers-by stopped by his performance，Eric，a music lover who just graduated from college，wore a big smile on his face.With deep passion for music，he showed up in the station in his spare time，singing and playing the guitar to people travelling to and from the subway station.
With the melodious(悦耳的) song coming to an end，hearty applause burst out.As usual，Eric expressed his gratitude，nodding his head with a smile.“Man，awesome！An outstanding performance！” approached a man，holding the hand of a little girl in a ponytail(马尾辫)，aged about four.
“Park，a producer of a record company.” The man introduced himself，holding out his hand.“Would you like to give it a try in my company？” Out of politeness，Eric shook hands with him in amazement.
“I haven’t seen somebody this good in a long time！You are a beautiful scenery of this city，with such a beautiful voice！” Park admired.Suddenly，a phone call interrupted their conversation.Park briefly invited Eric to meet later in the same place and walked away to answer the call.Seeing Park off，Eric did realize what had happened，with warm current flowing from his head to toe.It was the first time that he had earned such kind of recognition，which was totally out of his expectation.
“A beautiful scenery of the city，with a beautiful voice！” Eric repeated the words，cleaning his guitar and preparing for the next performance.At that time，he caught sight of a little girl in a ponytail standing in a corner，weeping and looking around.Carrying his guitar，Eric approached her and squatted(蹲) down，“What’s wrong with you，honey？”

A four-year-old boy discovers that compassion(同情) for the less fortunate can produce amazing results.Our hero’s origin story started this past February.Austin and his father，TJ Perine，went to the Firehouse Ministries，a local shelter that provides housing，food，and other services for homeless men.As they drove by the red-brick building，they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner.“Dad，they look sad，” Austin said.“Can we take them some food and make them smile？”
That day，Austin used his allowance to buy each man a Burger King sandwich and handed the food out himself.Seeing what their presence meant to the men at the ministry，Austin and TJ returned the next week.Austin again dipped into his piggy bank to buy sandwiches，which he handed out along with his new catchphrase，“Don’t forget to show love.”
After he returned every week for five weeks，word of Austin’s acts of kindness spread through social media and national news outlets.Burger King jumped aboard，agreeing to donate $1,000 a month for an entire year toward the cause.Soon，shelters across the country began inviting Austin to come to distribute food in other poverty-prone areas.Whereas before Austin and TJ could feed 25 to 50 people at a time，now，thanks to corporate and community support，they can feed 800 to 2,000 people at once.
Austin’s passion has now become his family’s calling.His mother Audrey established the Show Love Foundation，a nonprofit dedicated to fighting homelessness.She now serves as president，and TJ left his job to oversee public relations for the foundation full time.He’s in talks with the city of Birmingham to secure the red-brick building where it all started—Firehouse Ministries is moving—as the site of their own shelter，which will offer medical and mental care as preventive steps against homelessness.
As for Austin，he continues to give out food，smiles，and his inspirational message of love.“It makes me feel like I’m saving the day.”

“Mona Lisa’s” famous smile is routinely described as ambiguous.But is it really that hard to read？Apparently not.In an unusual trial，close to 100 percent of people described her expression as “happy”．
The “Mona Lisa” is often held up as a symbol of emotional mystery.Kornmeier，the German scientist，and a team used it in a study of factors that influence how humans judge visual clues such as facial expressions.Using a copy of the masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci，the team moved the model’s mouth corners slightly up and down to create eight altered images.They created four “happier” and four “sadder” “Mona Lisas”．
A block of nine images were shown to 12 trial participants 30 times.In every showing the pictures were randomly rearranged.Then participants had to describe each of the nine images as happy or sad.
“Given the descriptions from art and art history，we thought that the original would be the most ambiguous，”Kornmeier said.Instead，“we found that Da Vinci’s original was perceived as happy in 97 percent of cases.”
The second experiment involved the original “Mona Lisa” with eight “sadder” versions.These were given even more subtle(微妙的) differences in the lip tilt(倾斜)．In this test，the original was still described as happy.However，participants’ reading of the other images changed.“They were perceived a little sadder than in the first experiment，” said Kornmeier.
The findings confirm that “we don’t have an absolute fixed scale of happiness and sadness in our brain”—and that a lot depends on context，the researcher explained.Understanding this process may be useful in the study of psychiatric(精神病的) disorders.As for the masterpiece itself，the team believe their work has finally settled a centuries-old question.
8．What does the underlined word “ambiguous” mean in the first paragraph
A．Strange. B．Happy.
C．Sad. D．Unclear.
9．What is the purpose of the study led by Kornmeier
A．To create copies of altered images.
B．To answer a centuries-old question.
C．To analyze what affect humans’ visual judgement.
D．To describe the ambiguous smile of the masterpiece.
10．What can we learn from the first experiment
A．The experiment was randomly arranged.
B．The result proved the original assumption.
C．The copies differed in “Mona Lisa’s” mouth corner.
D．Altogether 30 different images were shown to the participants.
11．What will Kornmeier agree according to the findings
A．Humans’ visual judgement will change with context.
B．Humans are better at recognizing happiness than sadness.
C．“Mona Lisa’s” smile is related with psychiatric disorders.
D．The study result can be used to treat patients with mental disorders.

New technological tools are enabling a global community of biologists and amateur scientists to explore the natural world of sound in richer detail and at greater range than ever before.Just as microscopes helped humans observe things not visible to the naked eye，widely used microphones and machine learning models allow us to listen to sounds we cannot otherwise hear.
Billions of dollars are pouring into so-called generative artificial intelligence，such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT，with scores of new companies being launched to commercialize these foundation models.But in one sense，these models are mostly used to rearrange existing human knowledge in new combinations rather than to generate anything really new.What may have a bigger scientific impact is “additive AI”，using machine learning to explore specific，newly created data sets and extend the frontiers of human knowledge.When it comes to sonic(声音的) data，there is an incredible potential for cross-species communication through the use of machines that can translate and copy animal sounds exactly，effectively creating a “Google Translate for the zoo”．
This sonic revolution has been promoted by advances in both hardware and software.Cheap，durable，long-lasting microphones and sensors can be attached to trees in the Amazon，rocks in the Arctic or to dolphins’ backs，enabling real-time monitoring.That stream of sonic data is then processed by “additive AI”．However，this data only makes sense when combined with human observations about natural behaviors gained from painstaking fieldwork by biologists or crowdsourced analysis from amateurs.
Scientists have discovered fascinating information about the sonic universe，which has already led to practical and commercial outcomes.For example，cryptographers(密码专家) have been studying the buzzes，clicks，creaks and squeaks of whales to understand whether their “bionic Morse code” could be copied to encrypt(加密) communications.However，this is just the beginning of our exploration of sound，and there is no telling what other discoveries await us.
12．Why does the author mention microscopes in paragraph 1
A．To highlight the popularity of microscopes.
B．To illustrate the role of sound exploration tools.
C．To show the development of scientific instruments.
D．To stress the importance of observing beyond senses.
13．How may “additive AI” assist in sound exploration
A．It may make sense of natural behaviors independently.
B．It may guarantee the real-time monitoring of sonic data.
C．It may help create translation equipment for animal sounds.
D．It may help spread the existing human knowledge of sound.
14．What’s the author’s attitude towards sound exploration
A．Optimistic. B．Reserved.
C．Critical. D．Indifferent.
15．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Sonic Revolution：Discovering New Sounds
B．Sonic Translation：Inter-species Communication
C．Additive AI：Extending the Frontiers of Knowledge
D．Sonic Exploration with AI：Listening to the Unheard

How to Set up a Library of Things
Instead of cluttering(乱堆放)our homes，garages and the planet，setting up a library of things allows neighbours to borrow and share huge，pricey goods.__16__ But instead of borrowing books，local people are borrowing drills，pasta makers and guitars for an affordable fee.Here’s how to start your own：
Talk to your neighbours
__17__ Do they feel their home is too cluttered？Do they want to do their bit for the environment and spend less money？Link into local networks and ask people to vote on a “wish list” of items they could borrow.
Find a space
Start small in someone’s garage or local market to see what items are most popular.Then find space in buildings in urban areas with high footfall such as libraries or community hubs.__18__
Why start a Library of Things
