4 . Change can be hard. It means a lack of certainty and predictability.
Control what you can.
Identify your fears. Our imaginations can get the best of us sometimes, and we might exaggerate the problem. Honestly evaluate the change and consider what the worst case is. Determine what specifically is making you worried.
Talk about solutions more than feelings. One of the most common myths (谬见) of coping with unwanted changes is the idea that we can “work through” our anger, fears, and frustrations by talking about them a lot.
A.Take a fair attitude. |
B.Acknowledge the change. |
C.This isn’t always the case. |
D.Look at the positives that will come out of the change. |
E.It helps to have other areas of our life follow a predictable schedule. |
F.You might realize that the worst case is not as bad as you imagined. |
G.However, change is necessary for growth and it is normal to fear what we don’t know. |
Once upon a time, there lived a young boy named Ethan in a small village. With a passion for music, Ethan was enthusiastic about playing the guitar. Every day after school, he would rush home, grab his guitar, and lose himself in the melodies (乐曲) he created.
One summer, the village was hosting a talent show, and Ethan decided to participate. However, doubts started to flood into his mind. He began comparing himself to other talented musicians and questioning his abilities. The fear of failure began to consume him.
But Ethan’s grandfather, who had always been his biggest supporter, noticed his grandson’s inner struggle. He sat down with Ethan and shared a story from his own youth.
“When I was your age, I had a dream of becoming a painter. But I was filled with self-doubt, just like you are now. I decided to seek guidance from a wise old artist in a nearby town.
The old artist listened to my worries and offered me a challenge. He asked me to paint a picture on a large canvas in front of a crowd. Overwhelmed by the challenge, I hesitated.
The wise artist smiled and told me not to focus on what others might think. He asked me to paint from my heart and pour my soul into every stroke. The beauty lies not in perfection, but in the authenticity (真实性) of one’s creation.
Encouraged by these words, I accepted the challenge. I painted with passion, letting my emotions guide my brush. Finally, a beautiful masterpiece appeared on the canvas.”
Finishing the story, Ethan’s grandfather said, “That day, I realized that success is not defined by how perfect we are or how we compare to others. It’s about embracing our unique talents, taking risks, and expressing ourselves with passion and authenticity.”

8 . As the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) keep growing, some companies are hiring “AI prompt (提示) engineers” to help them get the best out of the emerging technology. Are these jobs set to become a universal presence, or are they a passing fad (时尚)? Generative AI creates text or images in response to prompts entered by the user. This can be as simple as asking for something in plain English, similar to using a search engine. But there is a key to it: including the right references and keywords that can guide AI towards the desired outcome.
“By buying a pre-built prompt given by prompt engineers, you can ensure the AI model will generate what you want. The average price is $3.50, but some prompts can cost hundreds of dollars,” says Ben Stokes, the founder of Prompt Base. Most of the prompt engineers on the site don’t have a technical background. The engineers tend to come from a photography or graphic design background, and those working on prompts for generating text used to work in marketing or copy writing.
Aaron Sines at US recruitment firm Razoroo has been placing engineers into AI jobs for five years, but only came across the term “prompt engineer” earlier this year. Sines says that a lot of the companies approaching him looking for a “prompt engineer” are actually seeking a more rounded AI researcher with technical skills. He believes AI models could become better at extracting (提取) information from humans about what they want, making the idea of a specialized prompt engineer obsolete, but thinks there will always be a need for humans to oversee AI models during development and application.
Zhan Qin at Zhejiang University in China says complex prompts, and the prompt engineers who create them, are unlikely to disappear any time soon because AI models aren’t like traditional algorithms (算法) that work on logic and can be entirely understood by humans. “Some prompts are short. But there are a lot of very, very long prompts. Even the generators of those prompts do not know the exact meanings behind those magical words,” says Qin.

A.The basic function of AI models. | B.The development of AI models. |
C.The urgent need for prompt engineers. | D.The problems of prompt engineering. |

9 . Different photoreceptors (视细胞) in the eyes can affect how we see the world around us. Animals including bees and some birds can see ultraviolet light (紫外线) that human eyes cannot see. By reconstructing the colors that we know animals can see, scientists can learn more about how they communicate and find their position. Getting an accurate view of what animals are seeing has been a challenge, but a camera system developed by scientists at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom and George Mason University in Virginia could help ecologists and filmmakers create videos that closely copy the colors that different animals see in their natural environments.
The camera system builds on the current technique called spectrophotometry. By using this technique, images are taken at specific wavelength ranges that are typically beyond what humans can see. However, using the method can be time-consuming, produce false colors, require specific lighting conditions, and can’t always capture (拍摄) something that is moving. To overcome some of these limitations, the team developed a camera and software system that captures animal-view videos of moving objects under natural lighting conditions.
One of the cameras records videos in four different color channels at the same time: blue, green, red, and UV. That data is then processed into perceptual units using a popular programming language called Python. This generates a more accurate video of how animals see those colors. The team tested this new system against the traditional spectrophotometry methods and their new system predicted the perceived colors with an accuracy of over 92 percent. “Our project was quite involved, and we had many surprises along the way,” says Daniel Hanley, a leading researcher. “The most surprising thing that we discovered was how much clouds can impact an observed color. We didn’t tend to notice these shifts, but they were notable.”
“We plan to apply the camera system as broadly as possible. Currently, we are exploring a range of applications,” says Hanley. “Our hope is that through community engagement our designs can improve and we will gather many novel observations about colors in nature.”
