On Days 12& 13.BApple on Wednesday launched a self-service repair program that would allow its customers to purchase Apple made components to replace worn-out or broken parts. The service will be first available in the US early next year for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 ranges, enabling customers to repair their screens, batteries and cameras at home. The service will be extended to other markets throughout 2022 and cover Mac computers with MI chips.The U-turn is abrupt. As recently as last month, Apple was fighting a shareholder proposal in support of right to repair. The iPhone maker said its own experts were best placed to service its products. The latest move, though, comes after an executive order from the Biden administration in July, directing the FTC （联邦贸易委员会）to address "unfair anti-competitive restrictions on third-party repair or self-repair of items”.Apple has long been criticized by consumer protection bodies for fiercely guarding its monopoly on the repair process, which has become so strict that iPhones fail to function properly even if two identical models have their parts swapped. Consumers have been forced to pay fdr "official“ repairs at Apple stores whose costs can be so high that many consumers would rather buy a new device altogether.Right-to-repair advocates say that when a consumer replaces a broken model, it serves Apple's bottom line but taxes the environment, so this step is likely to be widely welcomed. "Still, there is a risk that Apple is trying to increase the cost of spare parts by freezing out third-party manufacturer,said Vallauri, a right-to-repair advocate. "Regulation needs to force manufacturers to make products that are easier to repair at an affordable price so devices can be in use for a longer time, limiting the environmental impact. 4. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. Apple adopted the proposal made by its shareholder after careful consideration.B. Apple is pressured into easing restrictions on independent repair shops.C. Apple has always been a firm supporter of customers' right to repair.D. Apple has its growth restricted deliberately due to its enormous profits.5. The underlined word "monopoly" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.A. complete controlB. huge interestsC. massive influenceD. tight security6. Which of the following might be a consequence of Apple's policy U-turn?A. The cost of fixing iPhones and iMacs will rise.B. Their products will lose favor with environmentalists.C. The life cycle of consumer electronics will be extended.D. The competition in iPhone parts market will be less intense.7. What is Vallauri attitude towards Apple's new move?A. Favorable.B. Enthusiastic.C. Skeptical.D. Cautious.COne of the biggest concerns in science is bias（偏见）that scientists themselves, consciously or subconsciously may put their thumbs on the scales and influence the outcomes of experiments.Boffins have come up with all sorts of strategies to try to remove it, from having their colleagues repeat their work to the "double blinding“ common in clinical trials, when even the experimenters do not know which patients are receiving an experimental drug and which are getting a sugar-pill placebo（安慰齐!J）°But gathering the data and running an experiment is not the only part of the process that can go wrong. The methods chosen to analyze the data can also influence results. The point was demonstrated by two recent papers published in a journal called Surgery. Despite being based on the same data, they drew opposite conclusions about whether using a particular piece of kit（工具包）during surgery reduced or increased the chances of infection.A new paper, from a large team of researchers headed by Martin Schweinsberg, a psychologist at a European School in Berlin, helps shed some light on why. Dr Schweinsberg asked analysts to explore two seemingly straightforward theories. The first was that a woman's tendency to participate would rise as the number of other women in a conversation increased. The second was that high-status participants would talk more than the low- status participants.As it turned out, no two analysts employed exactly the same methods, and none got the same results.Some 29% of analysts reported that high-status participants were more likely to contribute.But 21% reported the opposite.Things were less finely balanced with the first theory,with 64% reporting that women do indeed participate more, if plenty of other women are present. But 21% concluded that the opposite was true.The problem was not that any of the analyses were wrong 'in any objective sense. The differences arose because researchers chose different definitions of what they were studying, and applied different techniques.When it came to defining how much women spoke, for instance, some analysts chose the number of words in each woman's comment. Still others defined it by the number of conversations that a woman participated in,regardless of how much she actually said.8. What does the underlined wordHit,n refer to in the first paragraph?A. Experiment.B. Scale.C. Thumb.D. Bias.9. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. The process of gathering the data can go wrong.B. Different methods of data analysis lead to different results.C. The way of assessing the experiment influences the results.D. Using special kits during surgery reduces the chances of infection.10. What caused analysts to apply different methods in Dr Schweinsberg *s research?A. Choice of definitions.B. Choice of subjects.C. Understanding of conversations.D. Understanding of theories.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Bias doesn't existB. Data don't lieC. Experiments countD. Scientists misleadDAbout a year ago, my partner and I got a little black and white cat. We called her Hashtag and a parental instinct （本能）in my body kicked in. If I don't see Hashtag for a While, I worry that something terrible has happened to her.Thus, I bought a tiny tracker made by a company called Tile, which attaches to her collar. It meant that even if I can't see her, I can pull out my phone and connect to Tile using Bluetooth. If the connection is made successfully, it means that she must be nearby.But there was still a problem: what if Hashtag were to get out of the house and run further away? Bluetooth range only extends to around ten meters, so any further and her location would be a mystery.This is why I was delighted when earlier this year Apple released the AirTag, its own Bluetooth tracker.AirTags work the same way as Tile. But Apple has added a twis
