Leslie Jones is a well-known comedian and actress， best known for her time on “Saturday Night Live” （SNL） and her work in stand-up comedy. Her journey into comedy started unexpectedly.

When she was a college freshman， a friend signed her up for a campus comedy contest. Despite having no previous experience in stand-up， she immediately felt comfortable on stage and won the contest. This experience lit her passion for comedy. However， Leslie Jones faced challenges in pursuing （追求） a professional comedy career.

At the age of 19， she received advice from Jamie Foxx， who suggested that she needed more life experiences to draw material from for her comedy. Foxx advised her to go out， live life， work various jobs， and gain a broader range of experiences to enrich her comedy. Jones took Foxx’s advice to heart and took on a series of jobs， including working as a justice of the peace at weddings and even working for a construction company. Throughout these experiences， she kept her ultimate goal of becoming a comedian in mind.

According to a new study from Oxford Economics， a rise in artificial intelligence will result in an increase in “income inequality” as they estimate that 20 million manufacturing jobs will be lost in the next 11 years. In China alone， there could be 14 million robots taking work currently done by humans by 2030. While in the United States， more than 1.5 million workers would have lost their employment to technology by 2030.

The report predicts the use of robots worldwide has increased to 2.25 million over the past two decades. The researchers said， “As a result of robotization， tens of millions of jobs will be lost， especially in poorer economies that rely on lower-skilled workers， which will therefore translate into an increase in income inequality.”

However， the researchers noted how “robotization” has the potential to boost productivity and economic growth. They predicted a 5.3 percent rise in global gross domestic product （GDP） in 2030. The report said， “This means adding an extra $4.9 trillion per year to the global economy by 2030 （in today’s prices）.”

The report remained positive about the use of automation and urged lawmakers not to stand in the way of robots in the workplace， despite the threat of job losses.

The researchers said， “These findings should not lead policy-makers to seek to prevent the adoption of robot technology. Instead， the challenge should be to distribute the robot profits more evenly by helping workers prepare for and adapt to the big changes it will bring about. Explore all policy options from training， initiatives （新方案） and new welfare programs such as universal basic income.”

28. What causes the potential job loss according to the text？

A. Population growth. B. Poor economy.

C. Lower-skilled workers. D. Robotic technology.

29. What can we infer about the robotization in manufacturing industry？

A. It may enlarge the gap between rich and poor. B. It may increase competition in lawmaking.

C. It has helped increase the global income. D. It has been universally recognized.

30. What do the researchers suggest to policy-makers in the last paragraph？

A. Boosting economic development.

B. Providing citizens with lifelong education.

C. Slowing down the spread of robot technology.

D. Protecting workers’ interests while adopting robot technology.

31. What is the researchers’ attitude towards “robotization”？

A. Suspicious. B. Favorable. C. Conservative. D. Critical.

When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea， their faces look like pure joy. In the early 2000s， though， milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry were concerned： With so much new excitement for this product， would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies？ This was the question that Serenitea， a Manila-based milk-tea company faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores， they found themselves in a strategic fog.

Unsure of what consumers truly felt toward the drink， they offered many flavors. They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct—their brand promise， product line， and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitor. How could they define themselves， in a way that would deeply resonate （引起共鳴）？

Like Airbnb， Serenitea partnered with an agency， CIA Bootleg Manila， which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer “why”. The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically， they investigated the consumer’s deeper emotional connections to milk tea， including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea led to three consistent psychological responses.

People connected to milk through the concept of nurturing （養(yǎng)育）; they fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next， consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had indigestion （消化不良） problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly， they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun： a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological benefits of the milk tea experience： nurturing， healing， and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By including them into the core of their brand strategy， they charted an entirely new path.

32. The underlined words “earned a foothold” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “ ”.

A. made an adjustment B. won a position

C. lost the initiative D. achieved a breakthrough

33. What was Serenitea’s main concern in 2014？

A. Being confused with other brands. B. The rapid growth of milk tea brands.

C. The possibility of milk tea catching on. D. Falling behind the changing consumer tastes.

34. What does CIA Bootleg Manila specialize in？

A. Product packaging design. B. Market expansion strategies.

C. Analysis of customer psychology. D. Flavor innovation and development.

35. What was a finding of the research？

A. Milk tea was popular among patients. B. Customers found all milk tea identical.

C. Customers associated milk tea with health. D. Milk tea brands ignored consumers’ feelings.

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline， some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.

Mrs Meredith was a kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems， and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time， she would bring food and medicine to them.

One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed， his wife， who took care of him and could not go out to work， and their little boy. The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.

“I wish you could see him，” she said to her own children， John， Harry and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money， but I don’t see what he can do.”

After their mother left the room， the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money，” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”

“So do I，” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”

For some moments， John said nothing， but， suddenly， he sprang to his feet and cried， “I have a great idea！ I have a solution that we can all help accomplish （完成）.”

The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea， it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do，” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us？ Well， we can make popcorn， and put it into paper bags， and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個(gè)左右。

When Mrs Meredith heard of John’s idea， she thought it was a good one， too.

With everything ready， Bernard started out on his new business.
