11、 to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretendingBut only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.

17、xperience B. Weakness and Kindness C. Weakness and Strength D. A Driving Experience C Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are

18、 that you would prefer Watson, right? But why? “Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ” Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustwo

19、rthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study. In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles a

20、re deaf” and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump” and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was

21、. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加剂) with an easier name as safer and a stock （股票）with an easier name as more lucrative (利润丰厚的)，according to Medical Daily. But researche

22、rs pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone comes from. For example, a native British man may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). Its not just u

23、nfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts, and it can sometimes have serious consequences.For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let go

24、 of qualified job candidates due to their“difficult”names.Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?8. What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?A. Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.B.

25、 A difficult name doesnt influence the way the volunteers viewed the claims.C. Volunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.D. Volunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.9. The underlined words“this effect”in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect _.A. names have on peoples jud

We should think twice before we make a decision.B. The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likel

27、y it is you will get a job.C. Judging people based on their names may cause serious problems.D. Russians have less bias against peoples names than the British.11. What is probably the best title for the text? A. Names Affect ProductsB. Employers Prefer Shobha BhattacharvaC. Difficult Names are Trust

30、ious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work grotesque and amazing at the same time. This isnt the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.According to Russian w

31、riter Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) , art is about creating emotion(情感). Itsa means of. joining people together in the same feelings, he once said.So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itse

32、lf, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they fed the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.The introduction of AI ar

33、t could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.The human mind is whats behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact, said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. Rather, it is something thats created
