After cllege I wanted t make a difference in the wrld，s I jined the Peace Crps and became a vlunteer teacher in Namibia, my cuntry f assignment(任务).Hnestly, my first chice wasn’t Africa, but I am extremely grateful that I was sent there.
Varius tribes and racial grups live in Namibia and a number f languages are spken.When Namibia gained independence in 1990，English became the fficial language.Teachers were suppsed t teach in English，but many lacked the language skills t d s.My jb was t train the teachers.
Schls were quite bare.Sme classrms cnsisted merely f sticks stuck in the sand and a metal rf.Each student had nly ne threadbare unifrm.The students had exhausting days. They walked miles t get t schl, ften bareft. They als did many daily chres.Even with their muntains f wrk, few pssessins and little pprtunity, these children were jyful. I admired that.
This was my first time living abrad in a different culture. Simply adapting t the living cnditins was a big adjustment.I had n electricity，running water, phne r Internet.Imagine n air cnditining where the temperature was ften abve 38 degrees Celsius! Hwever，I culd end each day with a splendid African sunset.And at night, I culd have an incredible pllutin-free view f the entire Milky Way(银河).
Befre Namibia, I never thught a girl like me wuld adapt t such an envirnment.My experience awakened me t nt nly the limitatins we place n urselves, but als ur amazing ability t adapt.
Step utside f yur cmfrt zne and thrw yurself in anther culture.Yu wn’t regret it.

Children with strng family cnnectins are assciated with a high likelihd f flurishing(繁荣)in life, a study fund. “What is different abut this study is that it shws that family cnnectin is assciated with thriving and nt just surviving r aviding harm,” said lead study authr Dr. Rbert Whitaker.
Researchers surveyed ver 37,000 children in 26 cuntries. In the study, family cnnectin was determined by a mean scre f five categries: care, supprt, safety, respect, and participatin. Flurishing was determined by a mean scre f six categries: self-acceptance, purpse in life, psitive relatins with thers, persnal grwth, envirnmental mastery and autnmy. The essence f family cnnectin is children feeling that they are accepted and cared fr at hme, which allws them t learn what their strengths and weaknesses are in a safe envirnment as they are building their identity,Whitaker said.
Children with the greatest level f family cnnectin were ver 49% mre likely t flurish cmpared with thse with the lwest level f family cnnectin, accrding t the study. The highest scres in bth family cnnectin and flurishing came frm children wh said they lived with bth parents, had enugh fd r never had their family wrrying abut finances. Researchers then cntrlled the data fr families’ pverty levels t remve the effect they might have had n the numbers. After cntrlling the data, the strength f family cnnectin still impacted hw much children flurished.
Accrding t Whitaker, adults have a very pwerful influence n the emtinal climate in the hme, s it’s imprtant t create a space where children feel seen and heard. A great pprtunity t strengthen family bnds is arund the dinner table. Adults shuld create an envirnment where children feel cmfrtable speaking freely. While they are talking,grwn-ups shuld shw that they have a genuine interest in what their children are saying. Silence is als anther pwerful frm f cmmunicatin, Whitaker said. Children and parents spending time tgether in silence r even ding chres can create a cnnectin.
28．What is the study mainly abut?
A．The imprtance f family cnnectin t children’s survival.
B．The relatinship between family cnnectin and children’s success.
C．The factrs affecting children’ self-acceptance.
D．The impact f pverty n children’s develpment.

A．Children wh live with a single parent.
B．Children wh have enugh fd and mney.
C．Children wh knw f their strengths and weaknesses.
D．Children wh have a whle family and ecnmic security.
30．Which f the fllwing might be an influencing factr in the result?
A．Family incme.B．Parents’ educatinal level.
C．Children’s age and gender.D．The number f peple in the family.
31．Hw can adults strengthen family bnds during mealtime?

With almst all big emplyers in the United States nw using artificial intelligence (AI) and autmatin in their hiring prcesses, the public is cnsidering sme urgent questins: Hw can yu prevent discriminatin in hiring when a machine is keeping the discriminatin? What kind f methds might help?
Sme 83% f emplyers, including 99% f Frtune 500 cmpanies, nw use sme frm f autmated tls as part f their hiring prcess, said the Equal Emplyment Opprtunity Cmmissin’s (EEOC) chair Charltte Burrws at a hearing n Tuesday.

Last year, the EEOC issued sme guidance arund the use f cutting-edge hiring tls, nting many f their shrtcmings. The agency fund that resume (简历) scanners that priritize keywrds and prgrams that evaluate a candidate’s facial expressins and speech patterns in vide interviews can create discriminatin. Take, fr example, a vide interview that analyzes an applicant’s speech patterns t determine their ability t slve prblems. A persn with a speech prblem might scre lw and autmatically be screened ut. The prblem will be fr the EEOC t rt ut discriminatin-r stp it frm taking place.
The EEOC is cnsidering the mst apprpriate ways t handle the prblem. It’s agreed that inspectins are necessary t ensure that the sftware used by cmpanies avids intentinal r unintentinal discriminatin. But wh wuld cnduct thse inspectins is a mre challenging questin. Each ptin presents risks, Burrws pinted ut. A third party may turn a blind eye t its clients, while a gvernment-led inspectin culd ptentially stp innvatin.
In previus remarks, Burrws has nted the great ptential that AI decisin-making tls have t imprve the lives f Americans, but nly when used prperly. “We must wrk t ensure that these new technlgies d nt becme a high-tech pathway t discriminatin,” she said.
32．What des Burrws suggest peple d?
A．Make their wn vice heard.
B．Fllw the experts’ suggestins.
C．Stp using AI in hiring prcesses.
D．Watch debates abut technlgies.
33．Hw might prgrams in vide interviews select emplyees?
A．By scanning keywrds.
B．By evaluating resumes.
C．By analyzing persnalities.
D．By interpreting speech patterns.
34．What is a pssible cnsequence f third-party inspectins?
A．High expense. B．Unfair results.
C．Age discriminatin. D．Innvatin interruptin.
35．What is Burrws’s attitude t AI decisin-making tls?
A．Favrable. B．Disapprving. C．Objective. D．Dubtful.

After cllege I wanted t make a difference in the wrld，s I jined the Peace Crps and became a vlunteer teacher in Namibia, my cuntry f assignment(任务).Hnestly, my first chice wasn’t Africa, but I am extremely grateful that I was sent there.
Varius tribes and racial grups live in Namibia and a number f languages are spken.When Namibia gained independence in 1990，English became the fficial language.Teachers were suppsed t teach in English，but many lacked the language skills t d s.My jb was t train the teachers.
Schls were quite bare.Sme classrms cnsisted merely f sticks stuck in the sand and a metal rf.Each student had nly ne threadbare unifrm.The students had exhausting days. They walked miles t get t schl, ften bareft. They als did many daily chres.Even with their muntains f wrk, few pssessins and little pprtunity, these children were jyful. I admired that.
This was my first time living abrad in a different culture. Simply adapting t the living cnditins was a big adjustment.I had n electricity，running water, phne r Internet.Imagine n air cnditining where the temperature was ften abve 38 degrees Celsius! Hwever，I culd end each day with a splendid African sunset.And at night, I culd have an incredible pllutin-free view f the entire Milky Way(银河).
Befre Namibia, I never thught a girl like me wuld adapt t such an envirnment.My experience awakened me t nt nly the limitatins we place n urselves, but als ur amazing ability t adapt.
Step utside f yur cmfrt zne and thrw yurself in anther culture.Yu wn’t regret it.

Children with strng family cnnectins are assciated with a high likelihd f flurishing(繁荣)in life, a study fund. “What is different abut this study is that it shws that family cnnectin is assciated with thriving and nt just surviving r aviding harm,” said lead study authr Dr. Rbert Whitaker.
Researchers surveyed ver 37,000 children in 26 cuntries. In the study, family cnnectin was determined by a mean scre f five categries: care, supprt, safety, respect, and participatin. Flurishing was determined by a mean scre f six categries: self-acceptance, purpse in life, psitive relatins with thers, persnal grwth, envirnmental mastery and autnmy. The essence f family cnnectin is children feeling that they are accepted and cared fr at hme, which allws them t learn what their strengths and weaknesses are in a safe envirnment as they are building their identity,Whitaker said.
Children with the greatest level f family cnnectin were ver 49% mre likely t flurish cmpared with thse with the lwest level f family cnnectin, accrding t the study. The highest scres in bth family cnnectin and flurishing came frm children wh said they lived with bth parents, had enugh fd r never had their family wrrying abut finances. Researchers then cntrlled the data fr families’ pverty levels t remve the effect they might have had n the numbers. After cntrlling the data, the strength f family cnnectin still impacted hw much children flurished.
Accrding t Whitaker, adults have a very pwerful influence n the emtinal climate in the hme, s it’s imprtant t create a space where children feel seen and heard. A great pprtunity t strengthen family bnds is arund the dinner table. Adults shuld create an envirnment where children feel cmfrtable speaking freely. While they are talking,grwn-ups shuld shw that they have a genuine interest in what their children are saying. Silence is als anther pwerful frm f cmmunicatin, Whitaker said. Children and parents spending time tgether in silence r even ding chres can create a cnnectin.

With almst all big emplyers in the United States nw using artificial intelligence (AI) and autmatin in their hiring prcesses, the public is cnsidering sme urgent questins: Hw can yu prevent discriminatin in hiring when a machine is keeping the discriminatin? What kind f methds might help?
Sme 83% f emplyers, including 99% f Frtune 500 cmpanies, nw use sme frm f autmated tls as part f their hiring prcess, said the Equal Emplyment Opprtunity Cmmissin’s (EEOC) chair Charltte Burrws at a hearing n Tuesday.

Last year, the EEOC issued sme guidance arund the use f cutting-edge hiring tls, nting many f their shrtcmings. The agency fund that resume (简历) scanners that priritize keywrds and prgrams that evaluate a candidate’s facial expressins and speech patterns in vide interviews can create discriminatin. Take, fr example, a vide interview that analyzes an applicant’s speech patterns t determine their ability t slve prblems. A persn with a speech prblem might scre lw and autmatically be screened ut. The prblem will be fr the EEOC t rt ut discriminatin-r stp it frm taking place.
The EEOC is cnsidering the mst apprpriate ways t handle the prblem. It’s agreed that inspectins are necessary t ensure that the sftware used by cmpanies avids intentinal r unintentinal discriminatin. But wh wuld cnduct thse inspectins is a mre challenging questin. Each ptin presents risks, Burrws pinted ut. A third party may turn a blind eye t its clients, while a gvernment-led inspectin culd ptentially stp innvatin.
In previus remarks, Burrws has nted the great ptential that AI decisin-making tls have t imprve the lives f Americans, but nly when used prperly. “We must wrk t ensure that these new technlgies d nt becme a high-tech pathway t discriminatin,” she said.
32．What des Burrws suggest peple d?
A．Make their wn vice heard.
B．Fllw the experts’ suggestins.
C．Stp using AI in hiring prcesses.
D．Watch debates abut technlgies.
33．Hw might prgrams in vide interviews select emplyees?
A．By scanning keywrds.
B．By evaluating resumes.
C．By analyzing persnalities.
D．By interpreting speech patterns.
34．What is a pssible cnsequence f third-party inspectins?
A．High expense. B．Unfair results.
C．Age discriminatin. D．Innvatin interruptin.
35．What is Burrws’s attitude t AI decisin-making tls?
A．Favrable. B．Disapprving. C．Objective. D．Dubtful.
