The African grey parrot’s ability to talk and mimic sounds makes it a charming companion. African grey owners often report that their greys oftentimes talk in context and can understand their people’s emotions (情感). The African grey parrot is not just a top talker - this bird is also known for its extreme intelligence, which gives them the name “The Einsteins of the Bird World”. The bird is medium-sized, dusty-looking and almost pigeon-like. It has a bright red tail, intelligent orange eyes, and a stunning scalloped (扇形的) pattern to its feathers. Their diet in the wild consists mostly of nuts, seeds, fruits, and leafy matter. At home, African greys need plenty of toys that challenge their intelligence, such as food searching and puzzle toys. Nutri-Berries by Lafeber Company are a perfect choice, which, with a balance of grains, seeds and other nutrients in the shape of a berry, encourages African greys to hold, bite off, and even play with, just as they do in the wild. African greys seem especially affected by stress and disturbing noise in their environment and can be put more at ease by placing one corner of the cage against a wall as opposed to in the middle of a room. African grey parrots are more likely to suffer from lack of Vitamin-A/beta-carotene, and therefore benefit from eating vegetables high in beta-carotene, such as cooked sweet potato and fresh kale. Lack of Vitamin-D is another concern, especially for greys on a poor diet. Offering a balanced, pill-shaped diet, such as Nutri-Berries, helps prevent vitamin and mineral shortage. 【1】Why are African grey parrots called “The Einsteins of the Bird World”? A.Because of their brain size. B.On account of their intelligence. C.Owing to their rich emotions. D.Due to their talking ability. 【2】What can “Nutri-Berries” probably be? A.A brand of bird food. B.Puzzle toys for birds. C.A type of round fruit. D.Wild Intelligence games. 【3】What is the characteristic of African grey parrots? A.They may get ill due to lack of Vitamin B.They prefer to stay in the middle of the room. C.They are dusty looking with blue eyes. D.They are smart and love to have fun. 【4】Where can we most probably find the passage? A.In a wildlife magazine. B.In science fiction. C.In a travel guide. D.On a shopping website.

Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free. Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in. As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs." But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content. In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content". But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product? The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not. Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity. "With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says. 【1】What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage? A.Give enough likes. B.Post to promote sales. C.Recommend some comments. D.Design advertisements. 【2】What makes consumer rights groups feel worried? A.Sponsored ads content. B.Ads with caption on posts. C.The unclear motivations of the posts. D.The increasingly growing number of audiences. 【3】How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer? A.Annoyed. B.Delighted. C.Ambitious. D.Depressed. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title? A.Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It B.To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star C.We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand D.Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee

When it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that we're witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can't be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines? At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs — jobs that make the most of workers' natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work-life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing—and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker. Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning, creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation(革新) resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain professions. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days. The problem here isn't the technology; rather, it's the way the technology is used — and, more than that, the way people think about using it. 【1】What is the passage mainly about? A.The human fears in the age of AI. B.Human experiences were replaced by AI. C.How to take care of the AI machines. D.The relations among work, workers, and jobs. 【2】What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage? A.The ones that provide basic benefits. B.The ones that require no economic return. C.Those that don't bring new problems to workers. D.Those that offer chances to progress professionally. 【3】How do news media respond to the development of AI? A.Supportive. B.Optimistic. C.Negative. D.Ambiguous. 【4】What will the author probably talk about next? A.The proper attitude towards AI. B.The future jobs humans will do. C.The possible application of AI in the future. D.The approaches to handling the issues of AI.

Urban Wildlife Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild, a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors. Cities are built for humans. 【1】For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats. 【2】When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. 【3】 Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night. There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. 【4】 If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors to the wildlife around us. 【5】 Our own future will be endangered too. A.They are built to protect birds. B.Our actions sometimes help other species. C.If we do not, more species will become extinct. D.They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife. E.Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely. F.At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them. G.They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.
