7、ibits.DFewer private collections are on display.In my childhood, whenever I was being unreasonable, or questioning whatever direction my mother was giving, she would say “Im the momma and youre the baby.” End of discussion. Until one day she asked me to do something for her and I said, “No. Youre th

8、e momma; Im the baby.” It gave her a good laugh.But, at 31, Im realizing the dynamic might be shifting. Shes the momma; Im the baby. But Im also something else now. More will be asked of me to take care of her. My mother is getting older.The realization hit me during a recent visit home. In my memor

9、y, our house wasnt spotless, but Id call it tidy. Weekends were for cleaning. Yet during this visit I was taken aback by piles upon piles of mail and papers and junk. A fridge full of spoiled food. A mountain of clothes begging to be lonated. Was it always this way? When did she become a hoarder (囤积

10、者)? A symptom of aging?But my mother would like you to know something: She is not a hoarder. She spoke frankly with more self awareness than I expected about life and time and happiness. “The time that I have to go through those things would be my weekends. Do I want to spend my Saturday afternoon g

11、oing through all the junk? Or do I want to go hang out with my friends? I think the latter. I dont want to spend one minute of my free time doing anything that doesnt bring me joy,” she says.Its not that my mother has no worries about aging, but she came to terms with it long before. “Trey, you coul

12、d spend so much time worrying about things that arent perfect. Then time slips by, and theyre never going to be,” she continues. “I think happiness is a moment-to-moment, day-to-day kind of thing.

15、ate than never.Exams can be very stressful and its not surprising that people who feel anxious about them tend to perform worse compared to those who dont experience such anxiety. What is surprising, according to the research published in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald at the Leibniz Instit

16、ute and her colleagues, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall that leads to the problem; it is the pressure of revision.Dr. Theobald launched a study which involved 309 German medical students who used a digital-learning platform to prepare for their final state exam. To assess their level

17、s of anxiety, the students were asked to rate them on a five-point scale for 40 days leading up to the exam, as well as on the day of the exam and the mock exam (模拟考) taken 40 days prior.What Dr. Theobald found was not what she expected. Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performanc

18、e at all. What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the earlier digital-learning activities. High levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place actually hampered students, leaving them with less material to recall during the exam itself.A

19、nd this is a positive discovery, for it suggests a change of approach to revision by the anxious might help improve their results. Dr. Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and meanwhile know that passing the exam is extremely important. To r

20、educe this anxiety, she proposes a two-fold strategy for students to consider as they revise. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can attach less importance to the test by reminding themselves that, while it is im

24、the natural world of sound in richer detail and at greater range than ever before. Just as microscopes helped humans observe things not visible to the naked eye, widely used microphones and machine learning models allow us to listen to sounds we cannot otherwise hear.Billions of dollars are pouring

25、into so-called generative artificial intelligence, such as OpenAIs ChatGPT, with scores of new companies being launched to commercialize these foundation models. But in one sense, these models are mostly used to rearrange existing human knowledge in new combinations rather than to generate anything

26、really new. What may have a bigger scientific impact is “additive AI”, using machine learning to explore specific, newly created data sets and extend the frontiers of human knowledge. When it comes to sonic (声音的) data, there is an incredible potential for cross-species communication through the use

27、of machines that can translate and copy animal sounds exactly, effectively creating a “Google Translate for the zoo”.This sonic revolution has been promoted by advances in both hardware and software. Cheap, durable, long-lasting microphones and sensors can be attached to trees in the Amazon, rocks i

28、n the Arctic or to dolphins backs, enabling real-time monitoring That stream of sonic data is then processed by “additive AI”. However, this data only makes sense when combined with human observations about natural behaviors gained from painstaking fieldwork by biologists or crowdsourced analysis fr

29、om amateurs.Scientists have discovered fascinating information about the sonic universe, which has already led to practical and commercial outcomes. For example, cryptographers (密码专家) have been studying the buzzes, clicks, creaks and squeaks of whales to understand whether their “bionic Morse code”

30、could be copied to encrypt (加密) communications. However, this is just the beginning of our exploration of sound, and there is no telling what other discoveries await us.12Why does the author mention microscopes in paragraph 1?ATo highlight the popularity of microscopes.BTo illustrate the role of sou

34、to stop the situation from worsening.Bullies usually hunt for people who are alone. If you are with your friends, or if you are in the company of someone, it is least likely that the bully will disturb you. _17_ Sometimes, all it takes is one loyal friend who will stay by you no matter what.Asking t

35、he bully to stop is sometimes a good way to deal with them. Bullies tend to assume that we will never speak up to them. When we do speak up for ourselves, it takes them by surprise. _18_ It can make them reconsider their actions._19_ When you do not react to what they say or do no matter how hurtful

36、 it may be for you, they start to lose interest in you. They think of it as a game. When they get an emotional response from you, it satisfies their ego. But if they get nothing, they will stop bothering you because they know you are not an easy one to crack.Plus, some of us are born comedians, who

37、can turn almost anything into a joke. If you are one of these people, try to take advantage of your gift Turn the situation the bully has created into a joke or just say something funny. This will break the bullys confidence and they will know that you are strong and sure about who you are. _20_AThi
