10、researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems

High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesnt pay to be a perfectionist.How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces.

13、, says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin.

18、 work environment.CClothes were once used until they fell apart. Not today. In high-income countries in particular, clothing and footwear are increasingly frequently bought, thrown away and replaced with new fashions, which are themselves soon thrown away and replaced.The so-called Fast fashion is h
19、aving a surprising environmental impact. Take water. The fashion industry, one of the worlds largest users of water, consumes anywhere from 20 trillion to 200 trillion litres every year. Then there are microplastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) and other polymer-based t
20、extiles, and make up between 20% and 35% of the micro plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, such as those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to wor
21、k harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy. That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. Theres a big role for
22、research-both academic and industrial-in achieving these and other ambitions.Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling. Undoubtedly, used textiles go to landfill in part because ther
23、e are relatively few systems that collect, recycle and reuse materials. Such recycling requires the manual separation of fibres, as well as buttons and zips. Different fibres are not easy to identify by eye, and overall such manual processes are time-consuming. Machinery is being developed that can
24、help. Technologies also exist to recycle used fibres chemically and to create high-quality fibres that can be reused in clothing. But these are nowhere near the scale needed.Another challenge for researchers is to work out how to get consumers and manufacturers to change their behavior. Other resear
25、ch questions include finding ways to encourage people to purchase long lasting goods; exploring how to satisfy desires for something new while reducing environmental impact; and understanding why certain measures can be successfully scaled up whereas others fail.8. Why does the author mention “water
26、”, “microplastics” and “chemicals” in Paragraph 2?A. To introduce a topic. B. To prove a point.C. To provide an idea. D. To give a definition.9. Which of the following goes against the concept of “circular economy”?A. Efforts are made to lengthen the lifespan of textiles.B. Worn-out clothes are used
27、 as dishcloths and oil rags.C. High-quality fibres are created to be reused in clothing.D. Fashion industry is encouraged to release new designs more often.10. What is the right thing for the fashion industry researchers to do?A. To make sure that all of the used textiles go to landfill.B. To separa

A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. Ive also had exc
30、hanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quan
31、tum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they cant kee
32、p. “Whats new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their works potential.
33、If researchers cant keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “quantum
34、 stands for something cool you shouldnt be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. T
35、aylor shares Johnsons concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin (幅度)” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve o
36、therwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims? I dont know. Im certainly not going to advise my friend
37、or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.12Regarding Johnsons concerns, the author feels _.A. sympathetic B. unconcerned C. doubtful D. excited13. What leads to Taylors optimism about quantum computing?A . His dominance in physics. B. The competition
38、 in the field.C. His confidence in PyQuantum. D. The investment of tech companies.14. What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Open. B. Cool. C. Useful. D. Resistant.15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor?B. Is Qua
