3 . Jane Addams was born in 1860 in the small town of Cedarville, Illinois. Addams graduated in 1881 from the Rockford Female Seminary. That same year, her father died. Feeling sad for his death and troubled by her own health problems, she spent the next six years seeking a direction for her life.

During an 1887 visit to London with her lifelong friend Ellen Starr, Addams came upon the Whitechapel District’s Toynbee Hall, where activists worked to improve life in that poor area. What she saw there inspired her.

In 1889, she and Miss Starr rented a large, empty home in a working-class immigrant district of Chicago. They called it Hull House. There were kindergarten classes for the young, supervised social activities for older children and college -level courses for adults in the evenings, along with various clubs for all ages and housing for single working women.

In the wake of Jane’s success, her influence and activism expanded. She worked to improve the education system and in 1909 became the first woman president of system and in 1909 became the first woman president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections. She also fought for labor reform and workers rights, sponsored research into the causes of poverty and crime, and pressed for health and housing regulation. In 1910, she was the first woman to receive an honorary degree from Yale University. During that same year, she became president of the National Conference of Social Work-another first for a woman.

She supported the interests of African Americans, women, and immigrants and campaigned for their being treated equally and getting more chances both nationally and internationally. In 1931, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She died of cancer in 1935, and her funeral was held in Hull House’s courtyard.

6 . People tend to cut corners and allow trusted workmates to do their work when working as a team. Now researchers have found that the same thing happens when humans work with robots.

Dietlind Cymek at the Technical University of Berlin in Germany and her colleagues designed an experiment to test whether humans would put in less effort when they think that their personal contribution to a task won’t be noticed.

In the experiment, the researchers asked a group of 42 people to examine images of circuit boards (电路板) for errors using a computer that tracked their work. Half of them looked at boards that had already been checked by a robot, and half were told that they were the only ones responsible for quality control.

People working in partnership with the robot caught fewer errors, after they had already seen that the robot had successfully flagged lots of errors.

The researchers say such teamwork could lead to a drop in motivation if individual effort isn’t visible and warn that there could be safety risks if teams of people and robots work on safety-related tasks in the same way.

Kathleen Richardson at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, says it is fine to use robots as long as they are effective, but that they should be considered tools rather than workmates or team members. “It just strikes me that workers think when a tool can do something, they let it,” says Richardson.

This is probably down to poor management style, in which individual work isn’t recognised. “I bet you if there was an motivation behind it, and if the humans could get extra pay for spotting errors in the circuit boards, then they’d put a bit more effort into it,” she adds.

10 . A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later, but no one has proved that there are people who really have photographic memories. Yet, there are some people who do have amazing memories. For example, Daniel Tammet can remember the first 22,514 digits of pi (π) and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. They are both good at remembering particular things for a limited time. As most of us do not have amazing memories like them, when memorising detailed learning materials, we simply need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn. Asking questions about what we learn also helps with memorisation. Another effective technique to remember things is to group similar ideas or information together so that they can be easily connected to things that are already known.

1. What does the example of Daniel Tammet show?

A．Photographic memories do exist.

B．Some people have super memories.

C．Everyone is good at memorising something.

D．Numbers are easier to remember than words.

2. What helps us integrate old information with new one?

A．Raising questions.	B．Discussing in groups.
C．Classifying information.	D．Applying what’s known.
