Born with hearing loss, Emily Jensen faced difficulties while pursuing (追求) a career she truly felt passionate about. As others doubted her abilities, all she hoped for was a chance to unlock her true potential (潜能) and feel a sense of belonging in the workplace. Jensen’s chance finally materialized when Cornell offered her an opportunity she had been seeking for nearly a decade.
Jensen first applied to the university for a job opening as a human resources (HR) assistant at the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) . Although she didn’t make it to the final round of interviews, a worker approached Jensen and suggested she connect with Larry, the head for human resources at the ILR School.
“They saw something in me,” Jensen said. “So, I met with Larry and his team. They were looking to develop their department and decided to bring me on board as an HR assistant.”
When Jensen first came on board at ILR, she needed special technology for her computer. Because of her hearing loss, additional equipment, such as a soundbar, is necessary to hear. “My team provided this from day one,” Jensen said. “It feels really good to be able to come into an environment that was already set up for my success from the very beginning.”
For many, disclosing a disability is not an easy thing to do, especially in the workplace. Fortunately, the ILR School and Jensen’s new HR team have created an environment where she not only feels comfortable doing so but is also valued for the role she plays.
“It’s a testament (证明) to my team and Larry, who is my biggest cheerleader,” Jensen said. “It was he who brought me on and saw what I was capable of, which led me to develop so much trust in myself.”
4. What can we know about Jensen
A. She failed to attend college. B. She used to study at Cornell.
C. She topped other interviewees. D. She had trouble finding a job.
5. What impression did the ILR School give Jensen on the first workday
A. Coldness. B. Warmth. C. Loneliness. D. Humour.
6. What did Jensen want to say in the last paragraph
A. She is grateful to Larry. B. She is a good cheerleader.
C. She will build a positive culture. D. She saw her team make progress.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Impressive Achievement B. The Road to a Successful Life
C. The Chance that Changed It All D. The Offer that Saved a Professor
C
Large language models (LLMs) have become a household name thanks to the role they have played in bringing generative (生成式) AI to the forefront of the public interest, as well as the point on which organizations are focusing to apply generative AI into numerous business functions and use cases.
LLMs, like ChatGPT, are trained on huge amounts of data — mostly everything on the Internet, including soft copies of countless printed books. They can “learn” different kinds of things in their reading — not just words but also phrases, symbols and mathematical equations.
LLMs’ arrival has triggered a heated debate among experts in the field. At the heart of the debate is whether LLMs actually understand what they are saying and doing, rather than just seeming to. Some researchers have suggested that LLMs do understand, and can reason like people. But computer scientist Melanie Mitchell holds a different view.
Consider this letter-string problem: You start with abcd and the next string is abce. If you start with ijkl, humans almost always say the second string should end with m. And so do LLMs. They have, after all, been well trained on the English alphabet. But suppose you raise the problem in a different order, such as a u c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t b v w x y z. Humans are still very good at solving letter-string problems. But LLMs usually fail. They are not able to generalize’ the concepts (概念) used on an alphabet they know to another alphabet.
“Being dependable and doing the right thing in a new situation is the central part of what understanding actually means,” Mitchell says. Human understanding, she says, is based on “concepts” — basically mental models of things like situations and events. Concepts allow people to infer cause and effect and to predict (预测) the probable results of different actions — even in new cases.
8. Why do LLMs receive public attention
A. They give us free access to all e-books. B. They can perform a wide range of tasks.
C. They make ChatGPT part of our life. D. They will create large numbers of jobs.
9. What does the underlined word “triggered” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Caused. B. Hosted. C. Rejected. D. Marked.
10. What are LLMs unable to do according to Mitchell
A. Shape our views on technology. B. Read an English passage.
C. Understand the world like humans. D. Answer general questions.
11. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A guidebook. B. A research plan. C. A children’s story. D. A science magazine.
D
In January, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta, appeared at a hearing to answer questions about how social media potentially harms children. Zuckerberg opened by saying: “The existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link (关联) between using social media and young people having worse mental health.”
But many social scientists would disagree with that statement. In recent years, studies have started to show a causal link between teen social media use and reduced well-being. One of the most cited studies into this link focused on Facebook.
Researchers tried to discover whether the platform’s introduction across college campuses in the mid-2000s increased symptoms (症状) related to mental health problems. The answer was a clear yes, says Alexey Makarin, a coauthor of the study. “There is still a lot to be explored,” Makarin says, “but to say there is no causal evidence that social media causes mental health issues, and I definitely object to that.”
The concern and the studies come from data showing that social media use in teens aged 13 to 17 is now very common. Two-thirds of teens report using TikTok, and some 60 percent of teens report using Instagram or Snapchat, a 2022 survey found. Another survey showed that girls, on average, spend around 3. 4 hours per day on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, compared with about 2.1 hours among boys. At the same time, more teens are showing signs of depression than ever, especially girls.
As more studies show a strong link between these phenomena, researchers are starting to move their attention to possible solutions. Why does social media use seem to bring about mental health problems Why do those effects unevenly exist among different groups, such as girls or young adults And can the good points of social media be teased out (梳理) from the bad points to provide more targeted guidance to teens, their caregivers and policymakers
12. Why does the author mention Zuckerberg’s words
A. To introduce the topic. B. To offer a piece of advice.
C. To present the image of a company. D. To add background information.
13. What does Makarin’s study find
A. It is important to network with others. B. Social media harms teens’ mental health.
C. The Internet plays a key role in our daily life. D. Messaging tools cause parents mental suffering.
14. Which is the percentage of teenagers using TikTok according to the 2022 survey
A. 34%. B. 60%. C. 67%. D. 76%.
15. What will researchers probably do
A. Focus on all the Internet users. B. Turn to teenagers’ caregivers.
C. Limit adults’ social media use. D. Work out targeted solutions.

Focus on hydrating(补水), even before you go outside
“____16____,” Dr. Pryor says. And if you know you’ll be out in the heat for a while, here commends having a food or drink that contains electrolytes(电解质) — say, a salty snack or sports drink—before you head outdoors, since you’ll lose a lot of them in your sweat.

The course(比赛场地) is over rough ground, grass, dirt or mud. Keeping pace can be challenging. The first race of the season is the most difficult. Runners who are not quite race-ready often push themselves too hard. It is, after all, a competition.
On a bright fall day, Cooper Erickson and Ethan Olds were running toward the finish line. The crowd cheered wildly as they neared the end of the race. Cooper, with sweat pouring down his face, pushed himself forward with every stride(步幅), his eyes fixed on the prize. Ethan, a few strides behind, quickly moved his arms and legs, and decided not to let his friend get too far ahead.
A runner from a different team had passed Ethan earlier in the race, also rushing toward the finish line. But about 10 meters from the line, the runner fell over. Cooper, who was in front of the fallen runner, didn’t know the accident behind him. He focused on finishing the race in fourth place. At the scene, Ethan, hesitated. He saw the struggling runner with an expression of pain appearing on his face, and Ethan’s competitive character was covered by a feeling of pity.
