21、The pandemic has required many people to make difficult judgments. Politicians have had to decide which restrictions to impose on citizens' behavior and individuals were forced to assess how much personal risk to take.

Good judgment is a quality everyone would like to have. But it is remarkably difficult to define precisely, and many people are not sure whether they personally possess it. Sir Andrew Likierman of the London Business School has spent a long time talking to leaders in a wide range of fields in an effort to create a framework for understanding judgment.

First he had to define the word. He suggests that judgment is 'the combination of personal qualities with relevant knowledge and experience to form opinions and make decisions'. The degree of judgment required tends to increase as people take on more responsibility. For a chief executive, the proportion of decisions involving judgment is high. Deciding not to take action is also a judgment with potentially serious consequences.

Some people think that good judgment is inborn. Sir Andrew accepts that some individuals are born with the ability to listen, be self-aware and better understand other people: all qualities that make good judgment easier. Others may have the wrong sort of characteristics; a tendency to ignore others, stick to rules irrespective of context, rush into action without reflection and struggle to make up their minds.

As artificial intelligence gets used for more and more routine tasks in the service sector, exercising judgment may be one of the only areas where humans retain an edge over machines. This is far from certain, however. With enough practice, machines may be able to display the equivalent of good judgment. But then, perhaps humans can be taught, too. In the long run, one of the trickiest aspects of human judgment may be knowing precisely when to let machines make decisions and when to leave it to people.

【1】Which of the following situation DOESN'T need a person's judgment?

A．Politicians decide restrictions imposed on citizens' behavior.

B．A person assesses what action to take in face of difficulties.

C．A student decides not to work out a math problem.

D．A farmer feels hurt when bitten by a snake.

【2】Which statement is true about Sir Andrew Likierman?

A．He talked to leaders with good judgment for his study.

B．He thinks people are born with good judgment.

C．He thinks being self-aware helps with good judgment.

D．He thinks people with the ability to listen have good judgment.

【3】What may artificial intelligence be able to do according to the passage?

A．to make decisions freely

B．to finish any tasks

C．to display good judgment

D．to leave decisions to humans

【4】Which of the following could replace the underlined phrase?

A．have an advantage over

B．take the place of

C．perform worse than

D．stand up to

MyHomework Student Planner – Android/iOS

This app has been around since 2009 and has been constantly updated since. And with so many great reviews, it could just be the perfect replacement for pen-and-pencil planning.

FaceApp – Android/iOS

Currently very popular in the US, FaceApp is a highly entertaining app that changes your face in strange and funny ways.

23、   In the classic marriage vow (誓约), couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife－not the husband－becomes seriously ill.

“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce.” said researched Amelia Karraker.

Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.

The researchers examined how the onset (发生) of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic (慢性的) illness onset increased over time as well, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.

“We found that women are doubly weak when their marriage breaks up in the face of illness,” Karraker said. “They’re more likely to be widowed, and if they’re the ones who become ill, they’re more likely to get divorced.”

While the study didn’t assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender roles and social expectations about caregiving may make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses.” Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among potential partners than divorced women.”

Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.

“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce martial stress and prevent divorce at older ages.” she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”

【1】What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?

A.They can help couples get through hard times.

B.They are not taken seriously any more.

C.They are as binding as they used to be.

D.They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.

【2】What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?

A.They can develop different kinds of illness just like their wives.

B.They are more likely to get serious illness than their wives.

C.They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.

D.They are more likely to be divorced in the face of illness.

【3】Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?

A.They think it more urgent to take on their social role.

B.They find it much easier to find another partner.

C.They are more accustomed to receiving care.

D.They expect society to do more of the job.
