But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older coupl

35、es rises when the wifenot 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

36、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

37、that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic (慢性的)iilrifcs 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 i

38、ll ness,M Karraker said. “Theyre more likely to be widowed, and if theyre the ones who become ill, theyre more likely to get divorced.” While the study didnt assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender roles and

39、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 con

40、cern 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. “B

41、ut its 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.58. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?A. They can help couples get through ha

42、rd 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.59. 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

43、 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.60.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

44、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.C The new social robots, including Jibo, Cozmo. Kuri and Meccano M_A.X. bear some similarities to assistants like Apples Siri. but these

45、 robots come with something more. They are designed toas over not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions thatdo more that talk to us. Time magazine cheered for the robots that “could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines” But is reshaping how we inter

46、act with machines a good thing, especially for children? Some researchers in favor of the robots dont see a problem with this. People have relationships with many kinds of things. Some say robots are jus. another thing with which we can have relationships. To support their argument, roboticists some

47、times point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate (赋予生命)doNs and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one. Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. Todays robots tel

48、l children that they have emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance. Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with.Boris Sofman the chief executive of Anki, the company behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to

49、create“ a deeper and deeper emotional connection . And if you neglect him, you feel the pain of that.”hat is the point of this, exactly? What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesnt even

50、 know it isneglecting you? This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to understand how children feel. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot put themselves in our place. No matter what robotic creatures “say”, they dont understand our emotional l

51、ives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment. They have not been born, they dont know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love. What is also troubling is that children

52、take robots behavior to indicate feelings. When The robots interact with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and when robots dont work when needed, children also take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their(自尊).In one study, an 8-year-old boy concl

53、uded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better. For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care. Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with ro

54、bots that “feel”.61. How are the new social robots different from Siri?A. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.B. Their main function is to evaluate childrens personality.C. They are designed to attract people with their smarts.D. They are intended to teach children how to talk.62. I

55、n Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots .A. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of childrenB. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beingsC. are unable to build a real relationship with childrenD. are deeply connected with human beings63.

56、 The underlined phrase *essential equipment” in Paragraph 4 refers to .A.fearB.painC. emotionD.thinking64. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?D The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year, and siartups (初创公司)wa

57、nt in on the action. What they sometimes lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products. So Brookdale, the countrys largest owner of retirement communication, has been inviting a few select entrepreneurs just to move in for a few days,show off iheir products and hear what the

58、 residents have to say. Thats what brought Dayie Rodriguez. 28, all the way from England to the dining room of Brookdale South Bay in Torrance, California. Rodriguez is the community and marketing manager for a company called Sentab. The startups product. Sentab TV, enables older adults who may not

59、be comfortable with computers to access email,video chat and social media using just their televisions and a remote control. “Its nothing new, its nothing too complicated and its natural because lots of people have TV remotes.” says Rodriguez. But none of that is the topic of conversation in the Bro

60、okdale dining room. Instead, Rodriguez solicits residents advice on what he should get on his cheeseburger and how he should spend the afternoon. Playing cards was on the agenda, as well as learning to play mahjong(麻将). Rodriguez says its important that residents here dont feci like hes selling them

61、 something. “Ive had more feedback in a passive approach.” he says. “Playing pool, playing cards,having dinner, having lunch, all work better than going through a survey of questions. When they get to know me and to trust me. knowing for sure Im not selling them somethingtherell be more honest feedb

62、ack from them.” Rodriguez is just the seventh entrepreneur to move into one of Brookdale,s 1,100 senior living communities. Other new products in the program have included a kind of full-body blow dryer and specially designed clothing that allows people with disabilities to dress and undress themsel

63、ves. “First and foremost, the residents love it.” says Smith. “It also provides Brookdale the opportunity to learn about and experience new technologies quickly and inexpensively and to make sure that we understand what residents want and need.” Mary Lou Busch, 93, agreed to try the Sentab system. S

64、he tells Rodriguez that it might be good for someone, but not for her. “I have the computer and FaceTime, which I talk with my family on.” she explains. She also has an iPad and a smart phone. “So 1 do pretty much everything I need to do.” Rodriguez takes it pretty well. “Im not going to lie to you,

65、 1 wouldve liked a more positive response.” he says. But “if people dont need it or want it, its up to us to change, adapt it or make it more usefiil.” To be fair, if Rodriguez had wanted feedback from some more tcchnophobic (害怕技术的)seniors, he might have ended up in the wrong Brookdale community. Th

66、is one is located in the heart of Southern Californias aerospace corridor. Many residents have backgrounds in engineering, business and academic circles. But Rodriguez says hes still learning something important by moving into this Brookdale community: “People are more tech-skilled than we thought.”

67、 And besides, where else would he learn to play mahjong?65. What does the passage say about the startups?A. They want to have a share of the seniors goods market.B. They try to profit from promoting digital products to seniors.C. They invite seniors to their companies to try their products.D. They n

68、ever lose time in upgrading products for seniors.66. Some entrepreneurs have been invited to Brookdale to . A.show senior residents how to use IT productsB. have an interview with potential customersC. conduct a survey of retirement communitiesD. collect residents feedback on their products67.What d

69、o we know about Sentab TV?A. It is a digital TV which enjoys popularity among seniors.B. It is a TV specially designed for seniors to view programs.C. It is a communication system via TV instead of a computer.D. It is a TV program catering to the interest of the elderly.68. Which of the following be

70、st explains “solicits” underlined in Paragraph 4?A. rejectsB.offersC.voicesD. seeks69. What does Rodriguez say is important in promoting products?A. Knowing the likes and dislikes of customers.B. Responding promptly to customer feedback.C. Winning trust from potential customers*D. Demonstrating thei

71、r superiority on the spot.70. What do we learn about the seniors in the Brookdale community?A. Most of them enjoy a longer life than average people.B. They are quite at ease with high-tech products.C. Most of them are interested in using the Sentab.D. They have much in common with seniors elsewhere.

74、。Is Cash Becoming Outdated? When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank, Barkhad Dahir doesnt get out of his car. He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone, he pays for virtually everything he needs: groceries

75、at the supermarket a few oranges from a market stall, or a cup of sweet milky tea from a cafe. Mr. Dahir boasts, “Even lying in bed, you can be paying your bills.” Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide revenue for banks, credit card companies and payment processors, and offer merc

76、hants improved cash flow and convenience. “I dont even carry money any more,” says Adan Abokor, a democracy activist “I havent seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant, even hawker (小贩)on the street, accepts payment by cellphone. Theres no waiting for it and no counting of cash. The system i

77、s impressively simpie and secure. Purchases arc made by dialing a three-digit number, entering a four-digil PIN, and then entering the retailers payment number and the amount of money. Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment. Clearing up cash payments has several ad

78、vantages as well. The printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous and hard to track criminal activities to be conducted in secret. Many govemmenis favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish gove

79、rnment has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010. However, some people doubt what members of a cashless society do when the power goes off. Do they choose to barter (物物交换)and rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings wh
