(CBS New York) A third grader who knew what to do in an emergency and took action is being credited with saving a life at school.Kori Scott, 9, was honored Thursday by the mayor of East Orange, New Jersey for her quick-thinking and bravery when a friend began choking in the lunchroom about two weeks ago.“I could just tell, because when I saw her starting to swallow, she stopped and started pounding on the table,” she told CBS2s Clark Fouraker. Scott said her friend was eating a burrito and left the cafeteria at Bowser Elementary looking for water. “I started following her and when I came out, she was holding onto a rail,” she said.It would be an urgent situation for anyone, but Scott remembered something important as she left the lunchroom her friend would not be able to take a drink of water, because she was choking. “I knew if she was holding onto the railing and she went to lean her head over, she would have hit her head and she would have passed out,” she said. “So I pulled her over, did the Heimlich maneuver one, two, three. But I did it one more time to make sure that she wasnt choking.”“I picked her up from school. The teacher came out near-tears and she was like Kori did an exceptional job, an amazing job today. And I was like, What? She said, she saved a life.” Scotts mother, Kiana, said. Scott learned to do the Heimlich after her father performed it on her when she was three.“Koris smart instincts (直觉) and quick action are the characteristics of a true hero,” said Mayor Ted Green. For her bravery, the mayor is making Scott “Mayor-For-The-Day” on Friday. Her friend may not be alive today if the girl hadnt known exactly what to do and sprung into action. In addition to learning the Heimlich maneuver from her father, Kori has been training classes with her mother, a security guard with the school district.1. What do we know about Kori Scott?A. She is careful and quick-minded.B. She performed Heimlich maneuver before.C. She received first aid training from her mother.D. She panicked at the sight of her friends choking.2. What is the text mainly about?A. Fathers previous performance guaranteed Scotts success.B. First-aid techniques enabled Scott to escape from danger.C. The teacher was satisfied with Scotts heroic deeds.D. Scott was honored for saving her choking friend.3. What is the text?A. A short story.B. A research paper.C. A news report.D. A course advertisement.BWe live in a time when robots entertain, teach and surprise us. Just as smartphones and social media offer a connectivity beyond anything we imagined, robots are beginning to offer physical capabilities and artificial intelligence (AI) beyond our expectations. Together, these technologies could be used to help solve important challenges like ageing societies, environmental threats and global conflicts.But many of us wonder whether AI will become so intelligent in human communication that the boundaries between human and artificial beings will blur. If it is possible to build a meaningful interaction with an artificial agent, will there still be a division in the relationships we have with people and technology? Also, once our human bodies and minds are enhanced with AI and robotics, what will it mean to be “human”?From an engineering perspective, these advanced capabilities are still very far away. A number of hurdles need to be overcome. For now, robots and computers are completely dependent on a power source they require a lot of electricity, and this complicates integrating robotic elements with human organic tissue. Another hurdle is the complexity of human communication. While a one-off natural language conversation in a specific context with a robot can feel realistic, engaging people verbally and non-verbally over many contexts is quite another matter.For example, when you call an artificial lost-and-found agent at an airport, a pleasant conversation is possible because there are only a limited number of goals the caller has. However, in creating a more extended relationship, for example, with a robotic pet, the robot needs to have internal goals, an extensive memory that relates experiences to various contexts, and it needs to develop these capabilities over time.Through smart “tricks”, a robot can seem more intelligent and capable than it is. Humans have the tendency to “make sense” of the robots behaviors in a human way. However, in order to sustain a meaningful relationship which deepens and evolves over time, an extensive artificial inner life will need to be created.4. What is the message conveyed in paragraph 2?A. AI technology is undergoing unexpected reforms.B. Humans cant build a meaningful interaction with robots.C. People doubt whether artificial beings can replace humans.D. Social problems may be solved with the development of AI.5. What can be inferred about AI from paragraphs 3 4?A. Gaps exist between technology and advanced AI capabilities.B. It is impossible to make a realistic conversation with a robot.C. Robot pets have a memory linked to previous experiences.D. Future robots can operate without electricity.6. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Robots Behaviors Are Worthy of Being UnderstoodB. Various Factors Restrict Expansion of AI CapabilitiesC. High Technologies Facilitate the Man-machine InteractionD. Artificial Inner Life Needs Extending for Sustainable Human-Robot RelationsCThe majority of people are unable to commit to a healthy long-term lifestyle although they are somehow willing to! There seems to be a paradox here.We become more aware of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle on a regular basis. Yet, we just dont manage to. We may engage in a variety of short-term projects: 1-week detox retreats or 1-month severe diets. But the benefits these short-term activities produce are quickly lost as we are dragged back to our “bad” habits in the longer-term. The inability to stick to a healthy lifestyle makes us feel frustrated and unhealthy. What is the way out then?The first step is to understand the problem more deeply: What are the main obstacles of pursuing a healthy lifestyle? Which are the fundamental aspects to a healthy lifestyle? How are they interconnected? If we understand the problem and its components more deeply, we are one step closer to coming up with a solution.Surveys show how in 85% of cases in the US and Europe, the main obstacles to pursuing a healthy lifestyle are to be found among lack of awareness, time, self-control and guidelines.“Humans tend to heavily discount the future, meaning things that we have now are more valuable to us than things well have in a few years.” said A. Braun in 2019. For this reason, we cannot correctly weigh the costs and consequences of choosing unhealthy habits today, and we tend to give in to short-term pleasures, although this means reducing longer-term benefits.We deliberately choose to experience and enjoy short-term pleasure, mainly because of a stress condition we may have, or because of personality. The underlying reason for these behaviors is primarily stress, as neuroscience discoveries in fact suggest, “In general, stress results in habit behavior in humans, so dealing first and foremost with stress is probably advisable when you are looking to make lasting changes. Luckily, your brain can change throughout life. Decreasing stress could finally help your brain become less easily influenced by habit.”7. Why do people engage in various short-term projects?A. To delete a bad habit.B. To keep healthy in lifestyle.C. To go on a severe diet.D. To solve the paradox.8. What is the obstacle of pursuing a healthy lifestyle?A. Lacking enough self-discipline.B. Gaining no reward from working out.C. Having no motive when making schedules.D. Relying on too much guidance from others.9. By quoting A. Brauns words in paragraph 5, the author wants to .A. highlight the association between habits and lifestyleB. stress the long-term value of adopting healthy habitsC. show a trend of pursuing long-term pleasuresD. convey peoples commitment to a healthy lifestyle10 What can we learn about neuroscience discoveries?A. Changing brain activities helps decrease stress.B. Personality contributes to ones short-term pleasure.C. Peoples habit behavior tends to dominate their emotions.D. Reducing stress is the key to sticking to a healthy lifestyle.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Relations between Architecture and CultureA country is not only identified by its people and government, but also by its architecture. _11_ For example, when one thinks of India, we think of the Tahj Mahal.
