• 3．When it comes to work，workers and jobs，much of the concern of the modern age boils down to（歸結(jié)為）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 machine？
     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.jye.ai jobs support workers in learning by doing-and，by doing so，deliver benefits on three levels：to the worker，who gains in personal development and job satisfaction：to the organization，which reforms as the staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue：and to the community as a whole，which reaps 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 Al 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（創(chuàng)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 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．Human experiences will be replaced by AI.
  B．How to take care of the AI machine.
  C．The human fears in the age of AI.
  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 offer chances to progress professionally.
  D．Those that don't bring new problems to workers.
  （3）How do news media respond to the development of AI？

  
  A．Negative.
  B．Optimistic.
  C．Supportive.
  D．Ambiguous.
  （4）What will the author probably talk about next？

  
  A．The future jobs humans will do.
  B．The proper attitude towards AI.
  C．The approaches to handling the issues of AI.
  D．The possible application of AI in the future.

• 4．In our daily life，we may often meet compulsive liars（說謊成性的人）.They find the truth almost uncomfortable for them.（1）

  Here are the signs to look for to know when people are lying and whether or not they are compulsive liars.
     Watch for stress signs.Usually，it's pretty hard to recognize compulsive liars，since they act very naturally when they 're lying：yet，they still seem a little stressed.Watch for certain stress signs such as rubbing their hands together.Do they have a forced smile？Do you notice any unusual breaks in their gestures （2）

  
     Pay close attention to their eyes.The idea that a person cannot look you in the eye while lying is wrong!（3）

  However，studies show that compulsive liars may use too much eye contact，since they are trying very hard to convince you.
     Keep an eye on contradictions.Compulsive liars tend to lie so much that their lies begin to contradict each other.Compare stories with shared friends of the person you are suspecting of being a compulsive liar.（4）

  Also，when asked something，most liars will avoid the truth by answering with questions. （5）

  According to a study.jye.ai should pay attention to four actions that can show someone is lying or hiding something.These signals are believed to be dishonest：hand touching，face touching，crossing arms and leaning away.
  A.Notice certain speechless actions.
  B.This may be true for some inexperienced liars.
  C.It's right to tell when someone is lying to you.
  D.See if you notice that certain stories have changed.
  E.They may choose to tell unbelievable stories to seek others' attention.
  F.If you notice an unusual break，this is a specific sign of lying.
  G.Stressed people may experience an increased need to drink water.
