21、   Robots will have taken over most jobs within 30 years leaving humanity facing its “biggest challenger ever” to find meaning in life when work is no longer necessary according to experts.

Professor Moshe Vardi, who works in Rice University, says that many middle-class professionals will be assisting the work of machines within the next few decades leaving workers more leisure（休闲）time than they have ever experienced and as a result, the rise of robots could lead to unemployment rate greater than 50 percent.

“We are approaching a time when machines will be able to do better than humans at almost any task,” said Vardi, “Robots are doing more and more jobs that people used to do. I believe that society needs to face question before it’s upon us. If machines can do almost any work humans can do, what will humans do? The question I want to put forward is, ‘Does the technology we are developing finally benefit mankind?’”

Prof. Vardi said existing robotic and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies were already getting rid of a growing number of middle-class jobs and that pace of advancement in the field is increasing.

But Prof. Vardi is not sure that a workforce of human like robots will be good for mankind. “A typical answer is that if machines will do all our work, we will be free to pursue leisure activities,” he said. “I do not find this a promising future, as I do not find the idea of leisure-only life appealing. I believe that work is essential to human well-being.” He added, “Humanity is about to face perhaps its greatest challenge ever, which is finding meaning in life. If machines can do all the work or even 50 percent of the jobs that we used to do, what will people do?”

【1】According to the text, what is human’s “biggest challenge ever”?

A.The most challenging jobs.

B.Seeking the significance of life.

C.The rise of unemployment rates.

D.No necessary work for humanity.

【2】What is Prof. Vardi concerned about?

A.Whether robotic and AI technologies are good for humans.

B.Whether robots can rule humans within 30 years.

C.The unemployment rate is increasing greatly.

D.The development of robots is rapid enough.

【3】What does Prof. Vardi think of the leisure-only life?

A.Realistic and comfortable.

B.Unpleasant and unattractive.

C.Entertaining and pleasing.

D.Disgusting and annoying.

【4】We can infer from the text that we ________ in the future.

A.will be in short of labor force

B.can have a surplus of products

C.have to face fierce competition

D.may lose the value of life

23、   “Don’t be a helicopter parent.” This message has been repeated frequently and others try to encourage parents to back off their kids and give them greater space and freedom to explore. But it doesn't actually tell parents how they should act. What kind of parenting style should be adopted in place of the overprotectiveness of helicoptering?

One possible answer is, “Be a lifeguard parent.” That means sitting apart from the action and keeping an eye on everything that’s going on, ready to jump in if needed. This was brought up by Dr. Mariana Brussoni, a developmental psychologist at the University of British Columbia and Richard Monette, editor-in-chief of Active for Life. They think life guarding should include three parts.

Open attention is the stage parents should be in most of the time, showing a caring interest in what kids are doing, but keeping their physical distance and remaining non — intrusive (不介入的). Focused attention is when a parent perceives (察觉) warning signs and becomes more alert. Maybe it’s time to check in with the child to see how they’re doing. It might be a good opportunity to help the child think through their actions, rather than directing them. Most of the time, play goes back to being safe and the parent can return to open attention. Active intervention is when a parent needs to step in to reduce immediate risk. A child might not realize they’re close to the edge of a busy road or deep water, so the parent has to ensure their safety.

Brussoni says most of a parent's time should be spent in open attention. Days could pass，without ever entering focused attention. Active intervention should be extremely rare. It’s crucial to avoid telling kids to be careful all the time. This sends a message that the child can’t do things without parental assistance.

No one said parenting was easy, but it can be less unbearable if you let go of some control, teach your kids to do things independently, and trust them to self — regulate. Everyone comes out happier in the end.

【1】Why is helicopter parent mentioned in paragraph 1?

A.Warn parents not to overprotect kids.

B.Introduce another parenting approach.

C.Remind parents to give kids more freedom.

D.Make a comparison between two parenting styles.

【2】What will a lifeguard parent probably do?

A.Accompany kids as little as possible.

B.Tell kids to be aware whatever they are doing.

C.Direct kids when they are climbing a thin branch.

D.Urge kids to leave a heavy traffic road immediately.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Parenting has been the toughest job since ancient times.

B.Allowing parents to self-regulate may be of great benefit

C.Less control may lead to a harmonious parent-child relationship.

D.Child should be taught to things all by themselves to grow up.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Don’t Be a Helicopter Parent. B.Teach Kids to Identify Risks.

C.How to Guarantee Kids’ Safety. D.Strive to Be a Lifeguard Parent.
