Norwegian author Jon Fosse has just been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature for his “innovative plays and prose （散文） which give voice to the unsayable”.
The Swedish Academy credits Fosse as “one of the most widely performed playwrights in the world”, although the 64-year-old originally made his name as a novelist, beginning with Red, Black in 1983．He has since written many works of prose and poetry. “His literary works, spanning a variety of types, comprise about 40 plays and a wealth of novels, poetry collections, essays, children’s books and translations,” said Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature.
Fosse draws inspiration from his rural living environment and personal struggles, which have deeply influenced his distinctive writing style. Growing up in a small coastal village, Fosse was involved in the beauty of nature and the vastness of the sea, which filled him with a sense of loneliness and reflection. Fosse’s writing discussed themes of loneliness, longing, and the search for meaning in life. Additionally, his battles with depression have enabled him to explore the depths of human emotions.
“He touches you so deeply when you read his works,” said Anders Olsson. “What is special about him is the closeness in his writing. It touches your deepest feelings—anxieties, insecurities, questions of life and death, which are things that every human being actually faces from the very beginning. In that sense I think he reaches very far and there is a sort of a universal impact of everything that he writes—it has appeal to this basic humanity.
Fosse is the first-ever Nobel Prize winner in Literature writing in Nynorsk （尼诺斯克语）, one of the two official languages of Norwegian, but only used by just 10% of the population. Fosse’s recognition on a global stage promotes the visibility and importance of Nynorsk as a written standard. It will attract more attention to Nynorsk literature, inspire and encourage Nynorsk speakers to continue preserving and promoting their linguistic heritage.
24．What do we know about Jon Fosse according to this passage
A．He has written 40 works so far.
B．He was originally famous as a poet.
C．His works cover a diverse range of types.
D．His most popular work is the play Red, Black.

B．Jon Fosse’s achievements in writing.
C．How life influenced Jon Fosse’s writing.
D．What Jon Fosse’s literary works focus on.

A．They explore the meaning of life.
B．They touch human’s deepest emotions.
C．They show the bond between humans and nature.
D．They appeal to readers to focus on personal feelings.

A．He has improved the international status of Norway.
B．He promotes the development and protection of Nynorsk.
C．He establishes Nynorsk as one official language of Norway.
D．He shapes the basic writing standard of Norwegian literature.

In the movie “The Wrong Trousers”, a pair of futuristic trousers lets people walk on walls and ceilings. Inspired by the movie, researchers in England developed “The Right Trousers”, a set of trousers embedded （嵌入） with electrical pumps to force air into t ny tubes that expand and can help elderly or disabled people with issues like getting up or improving blood flow. Now, material scientists, computer programmers and fabric designers are working to advance robotic clothing.
In June, researchers in Australia created robotic fibers, which can make fabric move automatically. Last year, scientists at MIT built fiber batteries that could be embedded into clothes and power robotic clothing. In recent years, Google partnered with brands like Levi’s and Ad das to put sensors in jackets, backpacks and shoes, letting users access their phones instantly. Researchers said they could soon unlock a stage where clothing will act more like a computer, sensing how your body feels and telling your clothes how to help.
At the University of New South Wales in Australia, researchers are creating fabrics that can shape-shift. Thanh Nho Do, a senior lecturer at the school, said his team has created tiny tubes that can weave （编织） into sheets of fabric. These tubes can make fabric take various preprogrammed shapes. But challenges still remain for Do’s team, especially around making these robotic tubes smaller so they can weave easily with other fabrics.
Rebecca Kramer Bottiglio from Yale University agreed that many challenges remain before smart clothing “reaches their full potential.” It will be challenging to make these clothes, equipped with fibers and technology, strong enough to go through multiple cycles in the laundry （洗衣房）, she said. Despite that, she says researchers will figure out a way forward. “Recent breakthroughs point toward a not-so-distant future where smart clothing will be a part of our everyday life.” she said.
28．What led to the creation of “The Right Trousers”
A．An electrical pump. B．A health issue. C．A tiny tube. D．A creative film.
29．What did scientists at MIT do last year
A．They put sensors in clothes.
B．They created movable robotic fibers.
C．They made batteries for robotic clothing.
D．They released smart clothing connected to cellphones.
30．What does Do’s team find challenging
A．Reducing the size of robotic tubes. B．Keeping robotic tubes’ shape unchanged.
C．Programming the shape of robotic tubes. D．Weaving robotic tubes into various fabrics.
31．What is Rebecca’s attitude toward the future of smart clothing
A．Doubtful. B．Indifferent. C．Worried. D．Hopeful.

Shortly after ChatGPT was released, in early 2023, a writer named Jason Colavito posted on social media that a computer was replacing him with AI, because it could write content for free. But he is also wanted—at a small amount of his normal rate—to ‘rewrite’ the AI-generated text. This is not the first time that technology has slashed salaries instead of jobs, and the real problem is not AI. The problem is a culture that devalues human labor.
With the release of new AI applications, discussions about the future of work are back in full force. A recent study looked at professions in the United States, from poets to financial managers, predicting the 19 percent will soon lose 50 percent of their tasks to AI. But our precious experience with suggests it’s much more complicated than technology simply replacing human work.
In 2019, an independent research organization Data & Society studied how automation is being integrated in farm management and grocery stores. Counter to the popular belief that the technology was reducing the need for human labor, researchers Alexandra Mateescu and Madeleine Clare Elish discovered that introducing new devices was mostly changing the nature of the work. For example, automated checkout machines kept employees busy, because now they were assisting confused customers, troubleshooting machines, and taking on other tasks to ensure their smooth operation in the store. Most importantly, Mateescu and Elish discovered that the new tasks, which helped accommodate and employ the ‘automated’ technology, were often undervalued or even invisible.
The important thing to understand is that the current deskilling and devaluing of labor isn’t because the robots are coming for us. It’s a cultural problem. As jobs get disrupted （扰乱） and people’s livelihoods are threatened, it’s easy to point fingers at technology as the unavoidable reason, whether you’re an expert or an employer. But what is actually to blame is a society that is willing to let workers be mistreated. It’s a big thing to change, but it’s not set in stone. And that’s the real ‘robots and jobs’ conversation we need to be having.
32．Which word has the closet meaning with the underlined word “slashed” in Paragraph 1
A．Created. B．Reduced. C．Improved. D．Removed.
33．What can be inferred from Mateescu and Elish’s findings
A．Humans are still needed to deal with AI-generated problems.
B．Humans cannot understand the real value of their own jobs.
C．New advanced devices are being integrated in various jobs.
D．Automated technology is taking away almost all jobs.
34．Why do people devalue labor
A．Cultural factors. B．Technological advances.
C．Living pressure. D．Unemployment issues.
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．A Wanted Conversation: Humans or Robots B．Robots Aren’t Coming for Our Jobs
C．A Promising Future: Humans and Robots D．Work Gets Deskilled by Robots

Hand gestures can be used to communicate while speaking. There are many universal hand signs, such as holding up an index finger （食指） to speak or interrupt, and putting a finger to the lips to ask for silence. 36 But there are some hand gestures that might mean something different in another country.
Many differences in meaning.
37 It consists of creating a circle with the thumb （拇指） and index finger with other fingers extended. In most of the English-speaking cultures, it means “OK”. In Australia it means “zero” while in many Western countries it actually means “three”.
Gestures with variation.
A typical sign is the gesture “V”. To make the sign, you must have the index and middle finger extended up. But there is a big difference in its meaning depending on which way the palm is facing. Palm Facing Out: 38 Palm Facing In: The sign is an offence similar to giving the middle finger, particularly in the UK and South Africa.
Politeness principle: Harmless or offensive
In the USA, the gesture of using your index finger to signal someone to come to you is not a welcome gesture in Asia. In the Philippines, this should only be used for dogs. 39

Of course it helps to prepare before you visit a country. But if you forget or make a sign out of habit, just remember to apologize. And perhaps with an explanation, most people will be understanding. Above all, don’t forget to show your bright smile since it may carry us through awkward situations.
A．A useful tip in case of emergencies.
B．A universal sign of friendliness: Smile.
C．There are so many well-known gestures.
D．It is highly offensive to use it with humans.
E．Originally this sign communicated “Victory.”
F．These are generally understood all over the world.
G．The following gesture has more than just one alternative meaning.

When my little brother Tom was four, Mom said something like “I’d give anything to have a few more hours in the day.” And Tom said, “Why don’t we buy a bigger clock ” If time worked that way, I could have used an extra-big clock last week!
Our teacher had asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get mine done.”
I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. I love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the minute I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing.
I forgot baseball would run later than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The second I got home, I threw the entire craft box onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang.
It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abuela’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year!
I had no choice. I had to go. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o’clock when I finally got home. I planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me.
Paragraph 1:
Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” ________________________

Paragraph 2:
Looking at the big “F” on my paper, I started to reflect on what I had done these days. _________________
