Jill suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it
seemed that his life was drawing to a close.
When his heart problems led to operation, Jill went through it successfully, and
a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jill was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smaller, a psychologist, had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jill's case was. When Jill was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jill asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jill returned his father had died. Jill's father was 48.
“I think all his life Jill believed he killed his father,” Dr. Smaller says.
“He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework, his father would have

lived. Jill had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial (判决) he had expected for forty years.” Smaller believes that Jill willed himself not to live
to the age of 48.
Jill's case shows the powerful role that attitude plays on physical health, and
that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effects on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jill's, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.
25. Jill was sent back to operation because _______.
A. the first one wasn't well performed
B. he expected a full
recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close
D. his heart didn't work well26. What made Dr. Smaller feel strange about Jill's case?
A. Jill died at a young age.
B. Jill died on the operating table.
C. Both Jill and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jill's death is closely connected with his father's.
27. From Smaller's words, we can infer that _______.
A. Jill's father cared little about his study
B. Smaller agreed that Jill did kill his father
C. Jill thought he would be punished some day
D. Smaller believed Jill wouldn't live to the age of 48
28. Which of the following could have strong effects on one's physical health according to the text?
a. One's genes.
b. One's life in childhood.

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh (法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off. Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh, boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it's going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful
of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!
It's not the news that makes someone angry. It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you're tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist (拳头) right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that's all right.
I'll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with
the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have.
29. In the writer's opinion, his neighbor was .
A. friendly
B. warm-hearted
C. not considerate
D. not helpful

A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.
B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.
C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.
D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.

artificial of decades, in a matter Many leading AI researchers think that intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever transforming life on Earth.
The reason why many regard this as science fiction is that we've traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.
From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply
