21、 Ageing and robots are more closely related than you might think. Young countries with many children have few robots. Ageing nations have lots. The countries with the largest number of robots per industrial worker include South Korea, Singapore, Germany and Japan. which have some of the oldest work forces in the world.
The connection does not merely reflect the fact that young countries tend to be poor and cannot afford fancy machines, which they do not need anyway. It holds good within rich countries, too. Those with relatively few robots compared with the size of their workforce include Britain and France, both of which (by rich-country standards )are ageing slowly.
Two recent studies quantify the connection. Daron Acemoglu of MIT and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University show that, between 1993 and 2014, the countries that invested the most in robotics were those that were ageing the fastest measured as a rise in the rate of people over 56 compared with those aged 26-55. The authors posit a rule of thumb a ten-point rise in their ageing rate is associated with 0.9 extra robots per thousand workers.
A study from Germany used different measures but reached the same conclusion. They found that the growth in the number of robots per thousand workers rises twice as fast as the fall in the growth rate of the population (e.g. if) population growth falls by 1%, the growth in robot density rises by 2%). Population growth is closely related to age structure.
These findings should not be surprising. Robots typically substitute for labour. That is why many people fear that they will destroy jobs. Countries with plenty of young workers do not need labour substitutes. Wages there also tend to be low making automation unprofitable. But ageing creates demand for automation in two ways. First, to prevent output falling as more people retire, machines are necessary to substitute for those who have left the workforce or to enable ageing workers to continue to do physical labour. Second, once people have retired they create markets for new kinds of automation, including robots that help with the medical and other requirements of caring for people who can no longer look after themselves

A. Because retired people have lower wages.
B. Because robots are substitutes for retired worker.

22、Eddie, Aged 17
Being yourself is one important thing you have to remember when going to senior high school. I don’t know what your junior high school was like, but senior high school teachers will not care about such things as how much homework you have already finished in one night. It means that you had better learn to manage your time wisely.
Frank, Aged 16
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You’ll probably love it. I know I did. You should join some clubs where you can meet people with the same interests. And taking part in some outdoor activities will also help to make your senior high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Bill, Aged 15
When I began senior high school I was really nervous, especially since I had been taught at home all through junior high school. I think the best advice is that you should relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
James, Aged 16
I have to tell you the truth that the first day of my senior high school is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it soon. Don’t be afraid of anyone. Just take it easy. It really helps if you make some friends and stay with them. After the first week, you’ll feel better. Don’t worry.

23、 Margaret Mead,the most famous anthropologist(人类学家）in the world,was born in the USA in 1901,the oldest of five children.Her father was a professor of finance and her mother was a sociologist.After studying psychology as an undergraduate,Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology.Mead was particularly interested in primitive communities because she believed that such isolated cultures could serve as"laboratories"that would reveal ways of living that the modern world had forgotten about but needed to remember.
Having travelled to Samon,a few tiny volcanic,tropical islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean,Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones.For example,Americans tend to think of men as productive,sensible,and aggressive,while women are often told they're more light-hearted, peaceful,and nurturing.But in her 1935 book,Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies,
Mead studied tribes in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe,both men and women were peaceful and nurturing,while among the Mundugurnor tribe, men and women were both ruthless and aggressive.
Mead's striking conclusion is that it isn't gender that makes women curl their hair or listen to people's feelings,or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors.Rather,it's the social expectations and norms that have laid the groundwork for each individual's psychological makeup."We must recognize,"she reminded her readers,"that beneath the superficial(表面上的）classifications of sex and race,the same potentialities always exist,occurring again generation after generation,only to perish because society has no place for them."
She is regarded as one of the most influential social scientists of the last century.People around the world mourned the death of Margaret Mead in 1978.A year later,the president of the United States,Jimmy Carter,honored the social scientist with America's highest award for civilians.

B.She majored in psychology and anthropology as an undergraduate.

【2】It can be inferred from Mead's study in tribes that
A.the world is filled with separate cultures.
B.no gender characteristics are ever simply"human nature".
C.knowing another culture will help us reflect on our own.
D.social standards are responsible for individual's development.

24、Re-entering the workforce after a long absence is often a difficult path. The longer you’re out, the harder it can be to get back in. For years, companies like Goldman Sachs have offered return-to-work programs as a way to help workers go back into the workforce after a long break. Returnships, as they are often called, offer training and networking opportunities to workers—usually mothers—who’ve been out of the workforce for an extended period of time. More recently, there’s been growing interest from companies in starting this type of program.
Goldman Sachs’ returnship program requires applicants to have been out of the workforce for two years or more. “We knew the interview process would need to look different,” said Kelley Berlin, Grubhub’s chief human resources officer. “We couldn’t view them based on their current technology skills. We had to look at their performance level and potential.”
The first week of Goldman Sachs’ 12-week program focuses on training, followed by an apprenticeship (学徒期) in one of the bank’s divisions. The participants are paired with a manager, a coach and previous returnees. On average, the company gets about 1,000 applications yearly for its program and accepts 25 to 30. Roughly 75% of those who go through the program get extended offers elsewhere to become full-time employees. Participants are paid $40 an hour during the returnship and the salaries of the full-time positions offered after the program are $100,000 or above.
The audio storytelling company Audible started its returnship program during the pandemic(疫情). “We felt that starting during the pandemic would be best because we would be able to support many jobless caregivers and their families caused by the pandemic,” said Anne Emi, Audible’s Chief People Officer. “Knowing that it was very hard for professionals taking caregiving career breaks to re-enter the workforce, we knew it would be much more difficult during the pandemic. But we were so impressed with what our program brought to the table. In a year or two, we will be growing the class by three times and bringing in 100 apprentices to join the business.”
【1】Why are return-to-work programs organized?
A．To offer workers chances to re-enter the workforce.
B．To help companies find more qualified workers.
C．To provide workers with further training opportunities.
D．To plan out proper timetables for stay-at-home mothers.
【2】What can we know about Goldman Sachs’ program?
A．It is easy to be accepted by the program.
B．Trainees need to work in the bank for 12 weeks.
C．Few trainees will get employed after the program.
D．Trainees will be well paid after taking full-time positions.
【3】What may Anne Emi probably think of Audible’s returnship program?
A．Interesting.
B．Problematic.
C．Successful.
D．Risky.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Companies Seriously Affected by the Pandemic.
B．Returmships Send Mothers back to Work.
C．Workers Get Better Jobs after Training.
D．More Job Opportunities Appearing.
