A teacher teaches stay- at- home mothers how to make cakes at a vocational school in
Changle district, Fuzhou, capital of southeast China’s Fujian Province. Jobs tailored for
mothers who are still of working age and have children aged 12 and below are helping them
overcome re- employment difficulties to some extent and strike a balance between work and
taking care of their kids. This is an employment model that has been widely popular with
stay-at-homemothers across China.
Pi Rongjie, whose child is 4 years old, works for an LED factory near her child’s
kindergarten in Jing’an county, Yichun city, east China’s Jiangxi Province. Unlike her
colleagues on the company’s other production lines, mothers working under this model
includingPi canclock in half an hourlater and finish aday between 5p.m. and6p.m.
In addition to providing flexible working hours, some regions are optimizing (优化) the
working environment and model to better help young mothers through measures such as
allowing them to take their children to the workplace and setting up community- based
workshops for them. Moreover, organizations such as women’s federations should keep close
contact with mothers working under this model, safeguard their legitimate (合法 ) rights and
interests, listen to the views of employers, and improve mechanisms for labor dispute
mediation(调解)toensure thehealthy development ofthis flexibleemployment model.
Meanwhile, the development of some new business models in China such as
livestreaming e-commerce has brought more options for mothers seeking flexible employment.
For example, positions for mothers including operational staff, live streamers, and customer
service staffallow them towork from home.

For years, we’ve been teaching a class on music and the mind. At the start of each
semester, we’ve asked the students to complete a survey on their favorite songs and artists.
Students’ favorite songs and artists get longer and more varied each year and their playlists
barely overlap（重叠）.
Indeed, listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even
more so with the introduction of the iPod and smartphones.When teenagers listen to music via
streaming, artificial intelligence and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized
playlists forthem.
Someyoung people feel thatAI generated playlists make them exposed to something dull.
Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before, yet they all
sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical
consumptionwas narrowly dominated bythe“Top-40”artists. However,AIgenerated playlists
have changed this, since a wider range of music is available. If they think theirAI influenced
playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music. Just because AI
can suggest songs, it doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own, or
sharing playlists.Anything thatexists, theycan find.Thestoreis always open.
Music listening and preferences play an important role in young people’s transition from
childhood to adulthood, two seemingly opposing but vital processes: forming a unique identity,
while at the same time becoming part of a community. However, AI generated playlists have
the potential to challenge this transition. So doesAI make it easier to differentiate the self, but
harder to bondwith others?
Fears of new technologies are commonplace. For example, the decline of scheduled
network TV erased lots of common ground for discussion, so will 50 million Americans ever
again tunein towatch theseries ending ofaTVshow,as they did forFriends in2004?
If AI is, indeed, contributing to the transformation of teenagers’ shared listening
experiences, thenAI playlists are more than a convenient way to discover their next favorites.
They are arevolution worth paying attention to.
31.Whatmakes teenagers’musiclisteningexperiences more private?
A.The popularizationofmusiceducation.
B.The lack of interaction amongteenagers.
6C.The extensive useofelectronicdevices.
D.The easy access to musical instruments.
32.Whatis Paragraph 3mainly about concerningAI generated playlists?
A.Theiraccessibility. B.Their limitations.
C.Their development. D.Theiradvantages.
33.Whatchallenge mayAI generated playlists present?
A.They result inthe declineof networkTV.
B.They prevent teens choosing similarsongs.
C.They provideless for teens to communicate.
D.They makeidentifying oneself impossible.
34.Whydoes theauthormention Friends inParagraph 5?
A.Totell us thepredictability ofnew technology.
B.Toshow thepotential social influence ofAI.
C.Toexplain people’s willingness toacceptAI.
D.Toemphasizeits popularityamongAmericans.

You see a fantastic offer,like a hotel room.You decide to book.Then it turns out there is a
service fee. Then a cleaning fee. Then a few other extra costs. By the time you pay the final
price, it is nolongerthefantastic offer you thought.
Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an
attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you
withunavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”.
In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though
you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. Resistance
to the idea of starting the search all over again is not simply a matter of laziness or indecision.
There’s a profound psychological mechanism(机制) at play here, called the present bias（偏
见）.
In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s
present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of
unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most
peoplewill choose theearlier option.But comeApril 1,given the samechoice, most ofus tend
to put offwork tillApril 15.In simpleterms, the inconvenience of doingsomething “right now”
often feels disproportionately large. Beyond the challenge of starting over, there’s another
psychological phenomenon that drip pricing uses—loss aversion（厌恶）. Imagine you’re
booking tickets for a show. Initially attracted by the headline price, you’re now presented with
different seating categories. Seeing a VIP ticket is within your budget, you decide to fork out.
But then, during the checkout process, the drip begins. You realize you could have chosen
7lower-category seats, but by this stage, you’ve already imagined yourself enjoying the show
from thoseniceseats. Going back to acheaper seat will feel likea loss.
Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to
protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is
uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding
why thestrategy works.
35.Whichof thefollowingis an exampleof drip pricing?
A. FlightHub introduces a bonus after you choosetheir flight.
B.Rent-A-Car charges wear and tear fees beyond theadvertised price.
C.Airbnb offers you amembership account when you bookatrip.
D.Ticketmasterprovides optional itemsat later stages of your purchase.
36.Whatdoes theunderlined word “relinquish” inparagraph 3mean?
A. Reach. B.Sign. C.Expand. D.Abandon.
37.Howwill Rabinexplain people’s refusal to cancel an orderand remake one?
A. Peopleare likely toblindly stick totheir original intentions.
B. Peopleliketo grab earlier rewards and delay immediatecosts.
C.Peoplestruggle tomake adecision among multiplechoices.
D. Peopletend totolerateadditional costs within theirbudget.
38.Whatis theauthor’s main purpose inwriting thetext?
A.Toexplainwhy peoplefall intothedrip pricing trick.
B.Toeducate customers onhowtodeal withdrip pricing.
C.Tocall ongovernments to protect consumers’interests.
D.Tointroduce two psychological phenomena about spending.

Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self.
40 It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired.What matters
isthat we takecare oftheanimals and doso ina timelymanner.

discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will
give kids a good work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy
8and that they have to work to survive. 42 Functioning as part of a productive team

kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk. Arooster will decide you got too close to his hens
and give you a run for your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take
things easy.
