• 2．Self-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save lives by getting involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars.But so far，most comparisons between human-driven cars and automated vehicles have been unfair.
     Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations，and on all types of roads.However，most of the data on self-driving cars' safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways，where the most important tasks are staying in the car's own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead.Automated cars are good at those tasks，but so are humans.
     It is true that self-driving cars don't get tired，angry，frustrated or drunk.But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or in anticipation of an attentive human driver ，nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential perils.They largely drive from moment to moment，rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.
     To a self-driving car，a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited cornfield.Indeed，deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans ，but drivers will sacrifice themselves for the greater good of others.An automated system's limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate a situation in the same way as a human would do.And machines can't be programed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.
     Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars.But experience from aviation（航空）shows that as new automated systems are introduced，there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.
     Therefore comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully.To fairly evaluate how well driverless cars fulfill their promise of improved safety，it's important to ensure the data presented actually provide a true comparison.After all，choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply one-for-one exchanging.
  
  （1）What makes the comparisons between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair？

  
  A．Statistics are collected differently.
  B．Machines can make decisions faster.
  C．Self-driving cars never get tired.
  D．Self-driving cars know the world better.
  （2）In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human drivers？

  
  A．Climbing steep slopes.
  B．Evaluating the cost of loss.
  C．Driving steadily.
  D．Making complex decisions.
  （3）Why does the author write this text？

  
  A．To support human-driven cars.
  B．To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.
  C．To show his doubts about self-driving cars.
  D．To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.

• 3．Most of us marry creativity to our concept of self，Either we're "creative" or we aren't，without much of a middle ground． "I'm just not a creative person!" a frustrated student might say in art class，while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math，giving a comment such as， "I'm very right-brained．"
     Dr．Pillay，a tech entrepreneur and an assistant professor at Harvard University，has been challenging these ideas．He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to "believe in yourself．" In fact，you should do the opposite：Believe you are someone else．
     Dr．Pillay points to a 2016 study demonstrating the impact of stereotypes on one's behavior；The authors，educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar，divided their college student subjects into three groups，instructing the members of one to think of themselves as "romantic poets" and the members of another to imagine they were "serious librarians"（the third group was the control）．The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects，including a fork，a carrot，and a pair of pants，and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one．Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas，whereas those in the serious-librarian group had the fewest．Meanwhile，the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors．
     These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a "malleable product of context and perspective" as long as he or she feels like a creative person．Dr．Pillay argues that，besides identifying yourself as creative，taking the bold，creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful．So，wish you were more creative？Just pretend!
  
  （1）According to the passage，who is more likely to unlock his creative potential？

  
  A．An art major who always believes in himself．
  B．A math major who has excellent academic performance．
  C．A physics major who likes to imagine himself as a poet．
  D．A history major who works as a librarian on weekends．
  （2）What does the Study conducted by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar focus on？

  
  A．The creativity of the college students．
  B．The stereotypes of the college students．
  C．The impact of stereotypes on one's behavior．
  D．The influence of creativity on one's behavior．
  （3）The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means

  ？
  A．stable
  B．sustainable
  C．predicable
  D．changeable
  （4）Dr Pillay may agree with the statement that

  ．
  A．there is no doubt that we are either creative or not
  B．a student who doesn't do well in art class is not creative
  C．right brain determines whether a person is creative or not
  D．if we pretend to be creative，then we might be really creative

• 4．How would you feel if you had to give up your smartphone for nine days？In 2014，and again in 2018，philosophy professor and writer Ron Srigley offered extra credit to those who would give him custody（保管）of their phones for nine days and write about the experience.
     "What they wrote was remarkable，and remarkably consistent，" Srigley wrote.At first，all the students felt disoriented and frustrated.（1）

  .
     They paid more attention to the people around them.
     For one thing，they observed，for the first time，how much other people were using their phones，for example in the middle of a face-to-face conversation.
     "（2）

  ，but yet again，I find myself guilty of this sometimes because it is the norm（常態(tài)），" one student wrote.Another noted that as she walked by other people，they tended to pull out their phones "right before I could gain eye contact with them".
     They had better face-to-face conversations with family.
     Two of the students were accustomed to using their phones to constantly message with their family members throughout the day，and they felt deprived of this contact.But when the students spent in-person time with their parents，（3）

  .
     They were more afraid.
     Some of the students reported that they were fearful of having no phones，wondering what they would do if they were kidnapped or attacked or had to call an ambulance for some reason.Srigley noted，"What's revealing is that these students perceived the world to be a very dangerous place.（4）

  .The city in which these students lived has one of the lowest crime rates in the world and almost no violent crime of any kind，yet they experienced a pervasive，undefined fear."
     "Without cellphones，life would be simple and real，（5）

  . " That's probably truer for all of us than we would like to admit.
  
  A.This action is very rude and unacceptable
  B.their conversations were constantly interrupted
  C.but we got things done quicker without the cell
  D.Cellphones were seen as necessary to combat that danger
  E.but we may not be able to cope with the world and our society
  F.But after a few days without smartphones，they began to notice other things too
  G.the parents were mostly pleased because they suddenly had their children's undivided attention
