Artificial Intelligence(AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers' behavior in great detail and in real time.Start to slack off(懈怠),and AI could talk to your boss.
One company offering such services is Londonbased startup Status Today.Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data,including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card.From this,it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance.The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns."All of this gives us fingerprint of a user,so if we think the fingerprint doesn't match,we raise a warning,"says Mircea Dumitrescu,the company's chief technology officer.
The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach(漏洞),like opening malware(惡意軟件)."We're not monitoring if your computer has a virus." says Dumitrescu."We're monitoring human behaviors."
But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone,and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity."It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to oldfashioned workplace surveillance(監(jiān)視)," says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group."You have a right to privacy and you shouldn't be expected to give that up at work."
Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them,but it's hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees' shoulders."It will bother people,and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior," says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.
Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk."If people know they're being monitored,they can change their behavior," he says.

2.Your child is unique,but what all children have in common is natural curiosity and an ability to learn they are born with.Our brains are active all the time,and a baby's brain is the busiest of all.Research has shown that babies begin to understand language about twice as fast as they actually speak it.By showing children other languages at an early age,you are giving them the opportunity to make use of their natural ability to hear and recognize between the sounds of other languages,and their ability to make sense of what they are hearing.
Communication is something that children do to help them achieve something else,and they are unaware of the large amount of learning taking place.They take everything in through their senses,making connections between what they hear,see,smell,taste and touch.As long as we provide the right conditions,their learning and development will take place in a natural way.
In your child's early years,the emotional environment is just as important as the physical environment.Children learn when they feel safe,happy,valued and listened to.This is central to any learning experience in a child's early years,including learning an additional language.Your child has a trial-and-error approach to its development,and making mistakes is a valuable part of the learning process.When children learn an additional language at an early age,they get the benefits of experimenting with that language as a natural part of their development.Their progress isn't prevented by a fear of getting it wrong,and very young children are simply working their way towards getting it right.
The long-term benefits of learning another language go beyond being able to communicate with others.Studies suggest that children learning an additional language tend to score better on standardized tests because learning languages develops listening,observation,problem-solving and critical (批判性的) thinking skills.These are skills that are of life-long benefit,both personally and professionally.Encouraging in children a love of language at an early age prepares them well for school and for life.
(1)What do we know about Children according to Paragraph 1?
A.Children are busy playing.
B.Children are born to speak.
C.Children are good at speaking native language.
D.Children have a better ability to learn other languages.
(2)While learning a language,children
A.speak to themselves
B.need to have language classes
C.make use of their different senses
D.notice how much they have learned
(3)Children learn when they
A.a(chǎn)re in bad emotion
B.do not make mistakes
C.learn from their mistakes
D.a(chǎn)re taught by their teachers
(4)In fact learning another language helps children to
A.take more tests
B.have a good time
C.encourage themselves
D.develop life-long skills發(fā)布:2025/1/1 17:30:2組卷:4引用:3難度:0.5 -
3.A few weeks ago,I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro.I asked him what he wished to know about farmers.He smiled and said, "That we walk among you.We look like you and talk like you.We have advanced degrees and hobbies,just like you."
Take Dave for example:He's a young man with a music degree.And if you walked past him on the street,you'd never think, "There goes a farmer."
Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer?Probably not.I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls(工作服).I can tell you,that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know.
Not only do we have to throw out our previous impression of farmers,but farming as a whole doesn't look much like it used to either.We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like,and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.
In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn,they met a new crop of young farmers who were trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical(垂直的) farms.In a Florida field under the fight path of an airport,they discovered farmers with university degrees growing plants that might someday fuel our cars.And in a modern farm in California,they observed how farmers were using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.
These farmers all spend their days in very different ways-none of them looks like the previous farmer we have in our mind-but they're all working on new ways to feed our planet.Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like,but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from.Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.
(1)How does Dave describe today's farmers?
A.They often walk on the street.
B.They are leading a very busy life.
C.They are similar to ordinary people.
D.They have little time to make friends.
(2)How does the author think most people see farmers?
A.They usually wear overalls.
B.They have interesting hobbies.
C.They are skilled at growing crops.
D.They know modern farming practices.
(3)What was the purpose of the team?
A.To deepen connections among farmers.
B.To study different technologies in farming.
C.To find the new developments of modern farming.
D.To encourage farmers to use new farming method.
(4)What do the farmers mentioned in Paragraph 5 have in common?
A.They all work in the city.
B.They all use high technology.
C.They all do hard physical work.
D.They all work with universities.發(fā)布:2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷:26引用:5難度:0.7
