B
Everyone
smiles
in
the
same
language.But
not
everyone
smiles
in
the
same
medium,and
that
might
be
hurting
us.
That's
according
to
a
new
study
from
researchers
at
the
University
of
Haifa
and
Ben-Gurion
University,both
in
Israel,and
the
University
of
Amsterdam
in
the
Netherlands.Inadvertently
timed
to
the
recent
release
of
“The
Emoji
Movie,”scientists
decided
to
study
whether
using
smile
emojis
in
text
messages
between
work
colleagues
caused
the
same
warm
feelings
as
a
face-to-face
interaction
that
includes
a
smile.
The
results For
the
first
time,science
was
able
to
confirm
that
a
smile
emoji
does
not
conjure
those
same
feelings.Quite
the
opposite,in
fact:
using
a
smile
emoji
in
conversation
actually
decreases
perception
of
the
colleague's
competence
and
inserts
a
level
of
distance
into
the
relationship.
It's
a
phenomenon
study
leader
Arik
Cheshin
dubbed
"virtual
first-impression
management."He
and
his
colleagues,including
co-leader
Ella
Glikson,conducted
several
experiments
analyzing
the
reactions
to
text
messages
that
included
smile
emojis
versus
messages
that
don't.They
also
measured
these
same
interactions
in
social
settings
and
found
that
the
emojis
actually
improved
perception.
"I
believe
there
is
a
greater
gap
in
what
the
sender
is
hoping
to
convey
and
what
the
receiver
interprets,"
Cheshin,a
professor,said."This
intention-interpretation
gap
can
be
damaging."
In
addition,Cheshin
and
colleagues
found
that
the
effects
of
smiley
use
on
social
perceptions
occur
regardless
of
the
expresser's
perceived
gender.
So
what's
the
takeaway
here
“I
don't
think
that
emoticons
and
emojis
replace
actual
emotion,”Cheshin
told
us.
"They
are
just
different.The
emotions
are
there
and
will
always
be
when
there
are
humans
involved."
Before
picking
an
emoji
that
fits
your
mood
at
the
moment,it's
better
to
just
use
words
at
least
when
you're
at
work.Or,better
yet,just
show
up
and
talk
face-to-face.You
know,like
the
good
old
days.
24.What
is
found
in
the
study
by
Arik
A.Work
colleagues
use
smile
emojis
more.
B.A
smile
emoji
leads
to
warm
feelings.
C.Smile
emojis
keep
colleagues
at
a
distance.
D.Smiley
use
works
better
than
face-to-face
interaction.
25.According
to
Cheshin,the
emojis
senders
may
not
know______.
A.how
much
virtual
impression
it
leaves
B.how
it
changes
social
settings
C.how
it
has
improved
perception
D.how
the
receiver
will
understand
it
26.What
is
the
writer's
attitude
towards
emojis
at
work
A.Cautious.
B.Positive.
C.Disapproving.
D.Indifferent.
27.What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text
A.Words
mean
much
more
than
your
smile
emojis.
B.Your
smile
emojis
won't
replace
your
actual
smile.
C.Smiling
is
a
universal
language
in
any
communication.
D.Misunderstanding
may
arise
from
smile
emojis.
C
Steven
Jobs,the
designer
of
Apple
Computer,was
not
clever
when
he
was
in
school.At
that
time,he
was
not
a
good
student
and
he
always
made
troubles
with
his
schoolmates.When
he
went
into
college,he
didn't
change
a
lot.
Then
he
dropped
out（退学）.But
he
was
full
of
new
ideas.
After
he
left
college,Steven
Jobs
worked
as
a
video
game
designer.He
worked
there
for
only
several
months
and
then
he
went
to
India.He
hoped
that
the
trip
would
give
him
some
new
ideas
and
give
him
a
change
in
his
life.
Steven
Jobs
lived
on
a
farm
in
California
for
a
year
after
he
returned
from
India.
In
1975,he
began
to
make
a
new
type
of
computer.He
designed
the
Apple
Computer
with
his
friend
in
his
garage.He
chose
the
name
"Apple"
just
because
it
could
help
him
to
remember
a
happy
summer
he
once
spent
in
an
apple
tree
garden.
.
His
Apple
Computer
was
so
successful
that
Steven
Jobs
soon
became
famous
all
over
the
world.
He
often
said,"I
live
in
order
to
change
the
world;there
aren't
any
other
reasons.The
only
way
to
have
a
great
achievement
is
to
love
your
own
career.If
you
can't
find
your
favorite
career,go
on
looking
for
it
and
never
give
up."
This
is
Steven
Jobs.Though
he
is
dead,his
spirit
and
achievements
still
influence
our
lives.
28.Why
was
Steven
Jobs
not
a
good
student
in
school
A.He
never
did
his
lessons.
B.He
dropped
out.
C.He
always
made
troubles
with
his
schoolmates.
D.He
was
full
of
new
ideas.
29.Why
did
Steven
Jobs
go
to
India
A.To
be
a
video
game
designer.
B.To
get
some
new
ideas.
C.To
make
a
new
type
of
computer.
D.To
have
a
happy
summer.
30.What
made
Steven
Jobs
famous
all
over
the
world
A.His
new
ideas.
B.His
Apple
Computer.
C.His
video
games.
D.His
saying.
31.What
can
we
know
about
Steven
Jobs
from
this
passage
A.He
didn't
finish
his
studies
in
the
college
because
he
hated
his
schoolmates.
B.He
liked
traveling
in
India
and
California.
C.He
liked
trying
new
things
and
making
his
new
ideas
come
true.
D.He
thought
he
had
many
reasons
to
live
in
the
world.
D
Machines
might
one
day
replace
human
laborers
in
a
number
of
professions,but
surely
they
won't
ever
replace
human
artists.Right
Think
again.Not
even
our
artists
will
be
safe
from
the
inevitable
machine
takeover,if
a
new
development
in
artificial
intelligence
by
a
team
of
researchers
from
Rutgers
University
and
Facebook's
A.I.lab
offers
a
clue
of
what's
to
come.They
have
designed
an
A.I.capable
of
not
only
producing
art,but
actually
inventing
whole
new
aesthetic
styles
similar
to
movements
like
impressionism
or
abstract
expressionism,reports.The
idea,according
to
researcher
Marian
Mazzone,was
to
make
art
that
is
"novel,but
not
too
novel."
The
model
used
in
this
project
involved
a
generator
network,which
produces
the
images,and
a
discriminator
network,which
"judges"
whether
it's
art.Once
the
generator
learns
how
to
produce
work
that
the
distributor
recognizes
as
art,it's
given
an
additional
directive:
to
produce
art
that
doesn't
match
any
known
aesthetic
styles.
"You
want
to
have
something
really
creative
and
striking—but
at
the
same
time
not
go
too
far
and
make
something
that
isn't
aesthetically（美学地）pleasing,"explained
Ahmed
Elgammal.
The
art
that
was
generated
by
the
system
was
then
presented
to
human
judges
alongside
human-produced
art
without
showing
which
was
which.To
the
researchers'
surprise,the
machine-made
art
scored
slightly
higher
overall
than
the
human-produced
art.
Of
course,machines
can't
yet
replace
the
meaning
that's
infused
in
works
by
human
artists,but
this
project
shows
that
artist
skill
sets
certainly
seem
duplicatable
by
machines.
What
will
it
take
for
machines
to
produce
content
that's
infused
with
meaning That
might
be
the
last
A.I.
frontier.Human
artists
can
at
least
hang
their
hats
in
that
field...for
now.
"Imagine
having
people
over
for
a
dinner
party
and
they
ask,‘Who
is
that
by ’And
you
say,‘Well,it's
a
machine
actually’.That
would
be
an
interesting
conversation
starter,"said
Kevin
Walker.
32.What
is
implied
in
the
first
paragraph
A.Artists
won't
be
replaced
by
AI.
B.AI
can
produce
new
styles
of
art.
C.AI
is
totally
at
a
loss
about
impressionism.
D.AI
fails
to
reflect
abstract
expressionism.
33.What
did
Marian
find
in
his
study
A.AI
can
copy
the
skills
of
artists.
B.AI
can
combine
content
with
meaning.
C.AI
can
make
art
aesthetically
unpleasant.
D.AI
can
please
human
judges
with
its
art.
34.What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“hang
their
hats”
mean
A.Discover.
B.Hold.
C.Struggle.
D.Survive.
35.What
Kevin
said
in
the
last
paragraph
tells
us
that_____.
A.she
uses
machines
to
cook
for
a
party
B.she
likes
to
join
in
a
dinner
party
C.she
expects
the
arrival
of
AI
D.she

To

Hard

the
key
to

you

in

are
other
factors
involved._41_ Here
is
a
story
of
two
friends
out
of
which
one
got_42_and
the
other,even
after
putting
in
a
lot
of
hard
work,_43_.
The
first
friend
used
to_44_hard
throughout
the
day
but
hardly
got
anything._45_,the
other
friend
worked
for
four
hours
and
used
to_46_the
needy
and
meditate
the
rest
of
the
time.
When
they
meet
after
a
long
time
they
discuss
their_47_with
each
other.The
first
friend
asks
his
friend,“_48_is

书面表达：
Dear
Simon,
I
am
sorry
to
hear
that
you
are
having
trouble
fitting
in
at
your
new
school.Such
problems
are
quite
normal.
Perhaps
the
following
suggestions
may
be
helpful.
First,I
think
you
need
to
communicate
with
your
classmates
as
much
as
possible.In
this
way,you
will
get
to
know
each
other
better.Second,it
might
be
a
good
idea
for
you
to
take
part
in
more
activities,which
is
good
for
developing
friendly
relationships.Lastly,faced
with
some
tough
problems,you
might
consider
turning
to
your
teachers,who
can
usually
offer
you
some
useful
suggestions.
I
sincerely
hope
my
advice
will
be
of
some
help
to
you.If
there
is
anything
more
I
can
do
to
help,please

have
just
told

that
your
older
son
was
6.Then
he

gotten

Today

has
been
working
in
Beijing
for
20
years.“There

nothing

the
Third
Ring
Road
when
I
first
came
to
Beijing.Most
of
the
houses
were
ping

Zhang
Shimin,from
Sichuan
Province.I
get
up
at
5:30
every
morning,then
catch
the
bus
to
working
site
before
7:30.I
go
to
the
top
of
the
building,get
changed,and
set
up
and
check
the
safety
equipment.Then
it’s
time
to
start
work.I
work
at
most
200
days
per
year.Earning
400
yuan
per
day,no
more
than
80,000
yuan
per
year.Of
course
I
was
seared
but
the
money
was
good.You
only
get
about
200
yuan
per
day,working
on
a
construction
site.That’s
a
big
difference!I
need
to
support
three
people
back
home,as
well
as
my
life
here.It’s
too
hard
to
earn
money,so
I
don’t
want
to
go
back
home
and
waste
my
money
on
the
trip.I
have
not
been
back
to
see
my
family
for
four
years.Beijing
has
been
through
huge
changes
in
the
past
20
years.Now
there
are
tall
buildings
all
over
the
Third&Fourth
Ring
Road.This
business
in
fine
for
fearless
young
people,but
as
you
grow
older
you
start
to
loose
your
nerve.I
will
keep
doing
this
until
I’m
exhausted.Window
