21、If you’re looking for ways to improve your productivity, chances are, you’ve come across a term called timeboxing(时间定量法). 【1】 This is the opposite of the “normal” way of working, which is to just work on a task until it’s done. Timeboxing can increase your productivity in many ways.
【2】 Choose a short period of time and then work without distractions for this amount of time. Twenty-five minutes isn’t much, and even if you feel a strong desire to do something distracting, just push through this short time period. And you’ll be surprised about how much you can get done in 25 minutes if you don’t allow any distractions to take away your attention.
It also gives you control over your time. This means that you’re in charge of your own work and life, not the other way around. 【3】 Instead of just working on any given task until it’s done, you decide how much time you’ll give it in advance.
Given so many benefits of timeboxing, why not use it to increase productivity? To achieve it, you need to determine how much time you need for a task. To track the time you really need for a task, you obviously need a timer(计时器). Chances are that you’ll take longer if you don’t use a timer. 【4】
Don’t allow any distractions during a timebox. 【5】 So, close your email inbox, and put your phone in a different room when you’re working. Trust me; this will improve your productivity greatly.
A．For example, it helps to stay focused.
B．In the beginning, this will just be a guess.
C．This means that you should take control of your space.
D．It’s simply because you don’t realize how fast time passes.
E．If you stick to that, you’ll get your tasks done faster than ever before.
F．Timeboxing means giving yourself a certain amount of time for a certain task.
G．Instead of not knowing what to expect on any given day, you arrange it the way you need.
22、The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, published in 1936. This book tells a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing it and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibition area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for The Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One of Ms Mitchell’s photographs, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She is only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains,“Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘would you really marry a woman who works?’ ”
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.
Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell stopped working as a reporter and was at home recovering after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939, the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

23、International students studying in the UK

24、Never play games with a bot(robot)—it will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek. The bots also learned how to use basic tools to help them win.
Bowen Baker at Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans.
The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek. The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn’t communicate with each other directly.
At first, the hiders simply ran away. But they soon worked out that the quickest way to stop the seekers was to find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. The seekers learned that they could move boxes around and use them to climb over walls. The bots then discovered that being a team-player -passing objects to each other or cooperating on a hideout -was the quickest way to win.
But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults. Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall, they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above. Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside.
It shows that AIs are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker. “Maybe they’ll even be able to solve problems that humans don’t yet know how to.” However, it is a large leap (跳跃) from virtual hide and seek to real problem-solving. “The main limitation is that it is in simulation,” says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University.
【1】Why did Bowen and his colleagues conduct the research?
A．To teach bots to play games.
B．To train bots to use basic tools.
C．To find if bots may cheat like humans.
D．To see the potential of robots cooperation.
【2】What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The tools of the research.
B．The design of the research.

D．The environment of the game.
【3】What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Passing objects.
B．Moving boxes around.
C．Making use of faults.
D．Hiding themselves from view.
【4】What does Chelsea think of the finding of the research?
A．It can bridge a gap in the AI research.
B．It will not be influenced by the real world.
C．It will definitely help the real problem-solving.
D．It may not be realized out of the virtual world.
