Its quite appropriate that India celebrates with an official holiday in some of its 29 states and seven union territories. After all, the country has an (2
3、1) _ (estimate) 522 million workers, more than the entire population of the United States. Heres a Q&A on May Day in general:Isnt May Day about dancing around a pole? You are correct - dancing is involved. Thats because “May Day” actually does double duty, celebrating two different things. May Day o

5、od, and thats one of the two ways May Day is celebrated.What does that have to do with workers? This is where May Days double duty comes in.

Cities have a way to
10、go before they can be considered geniuses. But theyre getting smart pretty fast. In just the past few years, mayors and other officials in cities across the country have begun to draw on _31_ - about income, traffic, fires, illnesses, parking tickets and more - to handle many of the problems of urba
11、n life. Whether its making it easier for residents to find parking places, or giving smoke alarms to the households that are most likely to suffer fatal fires, big - data technologies are beginning to _32_ the way cities work. Cities have just _33_ the surface in using data to improve operations, bu
12、t big changes are already under way in leading smart cities, says Stephen Goldsmith, a professor of government and director of the Innovations in Government Program at the Harvard Kennedy School. “In terms of city governance, we are at one of the most _34_ periods in the last century,” he says. Alth
13、ough cities have been using data in various forms for decades, the modern practice of civic analytics（民情分析）has only begun to take off in the past few years, thanks to a host of _35_ changes. Among them: the growth of cloud computing, which dramatically lowers the costs of storing information; new de
14、velopments in machine learning, which put _36_ analytical tools in the hand of city officials; the Internet and the rise of inexpensive sensors that can track vast amount of information such as traffic or air pollution; and the widespread use of smart phone apps and mobile devices that enable citize
15、ns and city workers alike to monitor problems and _37_ information about them back to city hall. All this data collection raises understandable privacy _38_. Most cities have policies designed to safeguard citizen privacy and prevent the release of information that might _39_ any one individual. In
16、theory, anyway. Widespread use of sensors and video can also present privacy risks unless _40_ are taken. The technology “is forcing cities to face questions of privacy that they havent had to face before,” says Ben Green, a fellow at Harvards Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society and lead a
17、uthor of a recent report on open-data privacy. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. In the food industry, it seems, the robot revo
18、lution is well underway, with machines mastering skilled tasks that have always been performed by people. In Boston, robots have displaced _41_ and are creating complex bowls of food for customers. In Prague, machines are _42_ waiters and servers using an app. In Denver, theyre taking orders. Robots
19、 are even making the perfect loaf of bread these days, taking charge of a(n) _43_that has remained in human hands for thousands of years. Now comes Briggo, a company that has created a fully _44_, robotic coffee machine that can push out 100 cups of coffee in a single hour - equaling the _45_ of thr
20、ee to four baristas（咖啡师）, according to the company. Using a mix of Latin American beans, the machine creates _46_ cups of coffee that can be ordered via an app, giving customers control over ingredients, flavorings and temperature without any human interaction. The company says no other business in
21、the world has applied as much _47_ to “specialty coffee.” Removing the _48_ element from ordering a cup of coffee is one of the companys primary selling points. “No more lines, no more counter confusion, no more misspelled names,” Briggos website says. Kevin Nater, Briggos president and chief execut
22、ive, said the machine would best fit locations in which _49_ is highly valued, like airports and office buildings, where several of the machines currently operate. “Imagine youre coming into the security line at the airport, your flight is coming up, and you know that if you want a coffee youre goin
23、g to stand in a long line,” said Nater. “From the security line, you can simply order your cup of coffee and pick it up at the coffee haus and make it to your flight _50_.” “Ive never found anyone who wants to stand in line a long time,” he added. “Weve just changed the _51_.” But Olive Geib, a 24-y
24、ear-old barista in Annapolis, Md., remained _52_. As coffee is being made by a barista, he said, subtly（细微地）adjusting the ratio of water to coffee bean as flavor develops through refined taste tests, is a crucial part of the process. “All the numbers and data in the world cant actually tell you how
25、the coffee _53_,” Geib said. Asked whether he was worried about losing his job to a robot, Gerb said, “absolutely not.” He said theres a _54_ group of people who will always seek out the slower, interactive experiences at coffee shops. “A lot of customers really appreciate watching a barista careful
26、ly pouring water or steaming the milk,” he added. “This _55_ aspect, the atmosphere and the interaction with the barista, is a big part of the experience of drinking coffee.”41.

30、you have just read.A When we say that residents in the Chicago suburb of North Riverside, Illinois, “wrote the book” on how to be good neighbors, we are not exaggerating. The residents of North Riverside really did write a book on neighborliness that has helped make their town a remarkable place. Ne
31、ighbors All: Creating Community One Block at a Time is a 65 - page manual filled with friendly suggestions and inspiring stories, all designed to build “family bonds” among neighbors. Every household gets a copy, delivered by a volunteer “block captain” tasked with welcoming new arrivals, helping se
32、nors, making sure kids play nice, and more. Its a big job, but the 90 captains across the town of 6,700 dont do it alone. They are organized by their own captain, Caro Saple, and the neighborhood Services Committee, which appoints leaders of all ages, including a team of school - age “angels”. If al
33、l this seems somewhat bureaucratic（宫僚制度的）, in practice Neighbors All has very much lived up to its title. One captain got to chatting with an elder couple who revealed that they couldnt afford to replace their broken stove. Before long, the Neighborhood Services Committee had collected enough money
34、to buy them a new one. Another resident, a woman from Poland, told her captain that she was having trouble sorting out the paperwork to get her citizenship. The captain told the committee, which told the mayor, who got the help of their local congressperson, and soon the womans paperwork was all in

Residents and officials are filling sandbags to hold back the floods. Lonely seni
36、ors have not stepped out of the house? A block captain shows up to invite them to a block party. This community truly looks out for one another.” Does all this mean that North Riverside is perfect? No - neighbors still quarrel. Kids still fight. But the community spirit that is part of North Riversi

A massive 72.8 million individuals are included in this group born
41、between the mid - 1990s and the early 2000s. Are you ready? While we have learned how to create a culture where Millennials can do well, what Generation Z needs can be quite different: MillennialsGeneration ZDont just work for a paycheck, they want a purpose.Money and job security are their top moti
42、vators. They want to make a difference but surviving an developing are more important.They arent pursuing job satisfaction, they are pursuing their own development.They want to gather rewarding experiences. Gen Z tend towards being impatient and often experience FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), so instan
43、t feedback and satisfaction are key.They dont want bosses, they want coaches.They want to be guided in an environment where they can advance quickly. They want to look their leaders in the eye and experience honesty and transparency.They dont want annual reviews, they want ongoing conversations.They

They are independent and want to be judged on their own value and showcase
46、their individual talents.Its not just their job, its their life.Salary and benefits and how they can advance are central.

They prefer to be team leaders, not members.B. They enjoy working together with others.C. They dont want to cooperate, they compete.D. They
48、have talents and dont want to be judged.62. Who among the following are most probably the target readers of this passage?A. Millennials. B. Generation Z. C. Recruiters. D. FOMO patients.C We all have a tendency to fake laugh, particularly when authority figures in our lives try to make a joke that j
49、ust doesnt land. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laug
50、hs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference? Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic（听觉的）and perceptual（知觉的）differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really
51、 hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter. The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration - or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it take
52、s more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-has” when theyre faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable. “A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set
53、of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, the lead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “The result is that there are subtle（微妙的）features of the laugh that sound like speech,and . people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.” People have also proven to be e
54、motionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” said Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London. McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants brain responses as they listened t
55、o the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other persons emotional and mental stat
56、e,” she said. So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our instincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them. According to McGettigan, thats a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, its good to be able to dete
57、ct if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if theyre not,” she said. “Because you dont want to be fooled.”63. What do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study?A. What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.B. Which part of the brain con
58、trols the sound of our laughter.C. Why do people need to fake laugh when they dont want to.D. How to laugh as genuinely as possible when you are faking it.64. Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_.A. you seem more concentrated when you laugh for realB. you take more
59、 breaths when you try to fake a laugh C. a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pauseD. a real laugh usually lasts longer than a fake one65. Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant?A. Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain.B. People may notice fake laughter without
60、knowing why.C. People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak.D. Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech.66. What has Carolyn McGettigans 2014 study proven?A. Certain social situations may require us to fake a laugh.B. Evolution has enabled us to recognize others emotions.
61、C. By instincts, we are able to tell a persons mental state. D. We can sense others emotional state when they laugh.Section CDirections: Read the following passage.

70、s far as possible.Right Colors for Restaurant Walls? Have you ever noticed that many restaurants have red or orange walls? This fashion comes from the widely held belief that these two colors stimulate the appetite. Restauranteurs hope that by stimulating the appetites of their customers in this way
71、, they can encourage them to order more food. A large fast - food chain recently decided to test the belief that the color of the decoration affects how much food their customers order. This company has restaurants in major cities across the US and serves customers of all ages, including small child
72、ren. The traditional decoration of this restaurant chain includes beige（米色的）paint on the walls. For this test, the company painted the walls in half of its restaurants orange, leaving the other half of its restaurants with their original beige walls. In order to make up for the possible influence of
73、 cultural differences between cities, the company made sure that in every city where its restaurants are located, there were both restaurants with orange walls and restaurants with beige walls. The restaurant chain kept track of exactly what foods were ordered in each restaurant for one year before
74、the walls were painted, and then again for one year after the walls had been painted. They found no difference. On average, customers in each restaurant, whether is had beige or of the company said. “We have proven it.” The wall s of all the restaurants in the chain have been restored to their origi
