B
A little girl named Tat o steals some cherry plums before grabbing a brush. She joins brothers and sisters outside, where they wet, soap and wash the rugs (毯子).
“We scrub. Brushes bop-bop-bop,” Astrid Kamalyan writes. “Until our hands are warm. Until our knees and toes feel pain a little. Until it’s time to clear the foam(泡沫). Time to slide!”
“I think it’s the favorite activity in Armenia,” says Anait Semirdzhyan, who illustrated Bábo. Both Kamalyan and Semirdzhyan are from Armenia—— they moved to the United States within three years of each other—— and they both grew up washing rugs with their grandmothers.
“There are no formal rules or ways,” Kamalyan explains. “You just do it and have fun with it.”
Kamalyan wrote Bábo:A Tale of Armenian Rug-Washing Day in 2020. She recommended Semirdzhyan to be the illustrator.
Semirdzhyan was excited when she got the manuscript(手稿). “I never, ever expected that I would illustrate a book about my childhood, ” she says. Plus, here was a story she could draw from memory—— she didn’ t need to research what the buildings or streets would look like, or what Armenian kids would wear.
Semirdzhyan used perspective and angles(视角和角度). Some scenes zoom in(放大) on Tato’s feet, as she walks down stone steps to meet her grandmother. Other illustrations zoom out on a scene of the whole neighborhood chasing escaped chickens. There’s a bird’s eye view of the carpets as the kids roll them up——“Figures and patterns all shine bright—— dragons, eagles, diamonds and crosses, leaves and flowers in amazing weaves. ”
Even though Kamalyan has very faithfully and accurately described the process of rug-washing, she does have one word of caution for readers: Do not try this at home!“When the rug is soaped, it’s very slippery, ” she cautions. “So be careful running on that rug.”
14. What’s Semirdzhyan’s advantage in illustrating Bábo
A. She is a friend of Kamalyan.
B. She is more skillful at rug-washing.
C. She achieves good fame in illustration.
D. She shares a similar cultural background with Kamalyan.
15. What does the last paragraph but one mainly show
A. How the children washes the rugs.
B. What scenes are pictured in the book.
C. How Semirdzhyan illustrated the book.
D. Why Semirdzhyan used perspective and angles.
16. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To recommend a book. B. To introduce a job.
C. To give a show. D. To tell a story.
C
No matter how you feel about it. AI is here. So, which types of jobs are most at risk What’s the best way to stay relevant
According to a Goldman Sachs study, most jobs and industries are only partly exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented (辅助) rather than replaced by AI So, which are the most endangered
Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns.
Shannan Monson, a founder and educator, says the outlook is not that negative. “We didn’t stop washing our dishes just because the dishwasher was invented. We simply get to do it faster, easier, and with less effort.” Paul Canetti, a professor at Columbia Business School, says that decision-makers and people managers are safe because AI can’t motivate or relate to humans.
As AI develops, its application might not be as fast as we think. But those who are well-learned in it quickly are at more of an advantage. Canetti says there is going to be “a long period of transition (过渡期), where you can perform really well at your job by taking advantage of these new tools before the average person does. ”
Experts agree that clearly human skills will remain the most valuable. Humans are uniquely qualified there and human-to-human work is going to be hardest to replace. “Focus on building your skills as a team player and a team leader” Monson says. Apfelbaum argues that it’s not just about reskilling, but rather people need to get over their fears and get complete with who they are so they can show up with all their creativity since AI does not have passion and real human creativity.
17. What may be affected most by AI
A. Managing human resources. B. Reporting taxes.
C. Selling new products. D. Making decisions.
18. What might Apfelbaum and Monson agree with
A. We can’t stop AI controlling our life. B. We needn’t overestimate AI’s impact.
C. Adopting AI makes humans lazy. D. Employing Al in life is effortless.
19. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. AI’s outlook. B . AI’s development. C. AI’s application. D. AI’s advantage.
20. Which is the best title for the passage
A. How to get over people’s fears on AI
B. How to explore human emotions AI affects
C. How to exhibit AI’s creativity in workplaces
D. How to stay relevant at work at the age of AI

Dear Linda,
I’m sorry to hear that you often fall ill recently. I think the main reason for your matter is that you don’t take an active part in sports. As a matter of fact, to keep healthy, we should do sports. Sports can make us active and energetic. Therefore, we can have enough energy to fight against all kinds of illnesses.
Of course, it is challenging for a beginner to stick to his sports routine. So I’d like to recommend some easy but interesting and fun activities, such as swimming, running, jogging and so on. These activities don’t need much equipment but are efficient to your body-building. Just start slowly and gradually increase your workouts.
Hopefully, you like the activities I recommend and get well soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
