Machines work well at a constant speed ― and the faster the better. Whether they are spinning cotton     1     dealing with numbers, regular, repetitive actions are what they excel at.

Increasingly, our world is being designed by machines and for machines. We adapt to machines and hold ourselves to their standards: People     2     (judge) by the speed at which they respond, not the quality of their response. “Always on” becomes something to take pride     3    . When I ask people     4     they are doing, they almost always answer “busy”. Ticking things off the “to do” list becomes     5     means of defining ourselves.     6     (occupy) if not with work then with family or our social networks, most of us feel exhausted.

A few years ago, I became very interested in what it meant     7     (pause). I started to notice where pauses show up in my own work and life. For example, I realized when I was writing, a short walk was a(n)     8     (effective) way to focus than concentrating harder. The small walk acted as a pause,     9     (enable) me to rest, reflect or refresh, appreciate and break a block in my     10     (creative). I realized that pause is not nothing!

A minute eating ice-cream is not the same as a minute doing push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a uniform raw material ― as the physics of Einstein shows.

文章大意:本文为一篇说明文,介绍了为什么人们把存钱罐常做成猪的形状的原因。
5 . 阅读下面材料,在空格处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Why do people make their banks in the shape of a pig? Pigs have nothing to do with money. They don’t store food like squirrels. So how did we end up     1     (use) a pig as the style of a bank?

During the fifteenth century, metal was very expensive. Dishes and pots were made from a type of orange clay called “pygg”,     2     was pronounced just like “pig”. At the time, there weren’t banks like we have today, so people would store their money at home. When     3     (housewife) had extra coins to save, they would place them in clay jars or pots. Since the type of clay was called “pygg”, people     4     (refer) to the jars as pygg banks. Over time this evolved into piggy banks.

    5     a few hundred years, people forgot that the word “pygg” was associated with the clay the banks     6     (make) from. The English language was also changing and the word “pig” was more     7     (common) used than before. So when English potters began to get request     8     piggy banks, they assumed their customers were asking for banks     9     (shape) like pigs, not banks made from pygg.

Today piggy banks are made from all kinds of materials, and they also come in a     10     (vary) of shapes and animals. But the term “piggy bank” is still used to refer to these adorable containers for loose change.

There were many cases where people were unaware of how to use new machines, causing     5    (embarrass)in the would-be user and amusement in the observer.

Are boys really better at math than girls? No, that doesn't seem    1    (rely).

That's according to new research by Jessica Cantlon, a professor and neuroscientist of Carnegie Mellon University, and her colleagues.    2    (scientist) looked at young boys' and girls' brains, and found no difference in mathematical ability. Their new paper,    3    (publish) in the journal Science of Learning, suggests that society is to blame    4    the mistaken idea that girls aren't good at numbers.

Cantlon and her colleagues used an MRI machine    5    (examine) 105 kids' brains while the kids watched an educational video.    6    found that the kids' brains showed no major differences during the experiment.

This report    7    (base) on a previous study in 2018,   which looked at the test performance data of 500 boys and girls. The 2018 paper found no difference in their early mathematical ability,    8    (suggest) that boys and girls are equally equipped to reason about mathematics during early childhood.

Cantlon hopes that people will stop being so sexist (性别歧视的) about little girls and calculators."    9    (hope), we can change expectations of    10    children can achieve in mathematics," she says.
