Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare in their community tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people,according to a study from Berlin,Germany.“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents' health.This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species,”said Sonja Hilbrand,one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.Overall,after accounting for grandparents' age and general state of health,the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren,compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn't a relative.Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began,while nonhelpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society.Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active,”said Professor Bruno Arpino.Arpino noted,however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working,being in social clubs,or volunteering.“Children should take_into_account their parents' needs,willingness,and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare,”he suggested.“It is very important that every individual decides forhimself/herself, what ‘proper amounts of help' means,”Hilbrand said,adding,“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity (强度)of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”1.What is the caregiving study based on?A.Human evolutionary history.B.Demand of modern society.C.Social contact between relatives.D.Data on many elderly people.2.In Arpino's opinion,childcare ________.A.is sure to keep old people away from illnessesB.allows old people to live a more meaningful lifeC.creates more job opportunities for old peopleD.makes social activities inaccessible to old people3.What does the underlined part“take into account”in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Limit. B.Ignore.C.Favor. D.Consider.4.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.Grandparents can do anything in their own interests.B.Grandparents should share more social responsibilities.C.Proper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents.D.Caregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.【解题导语】德国柏林一项研究发现,祖父母适当地帮忙照顾孙辈比不照顾孙辈的老年人寿命长。

You use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot(虚拟聊天机器人).Xiaoice, Microsoft’s latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, the New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.“Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice, ” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis(表情符号)in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming s marter and more common. For instance, IBM’s latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia’s Deakin University, answering students’ questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa ha ve been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms, the New York Times pointed out.

German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash (废物)to make sculptures.“We are living in the time of garbage,” says Schult.“I created a thousand sculptures of garbage.They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here,Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North RhineWestphalia.“They are social sculptures,” he explains.“They are not only sculptures for the eyes.They are sculptures to spread the idea that we li ve in a time of garbage.” So far,Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris,in Moscow's Red Square,on the Great Wall of China,and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.HA Schult's work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world,Schult remains modest about his creations:“Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that counts is the time in which we are living.”Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art?Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't,or whom artists are or should be.You can be an artist like Schult if you try.Look at used metal cans.What might be done with them?Imagine them in any number of new uses,or imagine them simply as an art form.What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing?Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.1.What do we know about Schult's sculptures?A.They served as garbage containers.B.They reflected environmental issues.C.They were first shown in Paris,France.D.They were to raise economic awareness.2.HA Schult's artistic works also get the message across that an artist must ________.A.be socially responsibleB.be as modest as possibleC.make garbage recyclableD.take diverse artistic forms3.According to the last 2 paragraphs,the author probably agrees that ________.A.it takes talent to be a trash artistB.preset ideas are important to artistsC.trash art can't be seen as a real art formD.average people can also make trash artists4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Could You Be a Trash Artist?B.What Are Social Sculptures?C.Do You Know about Trash Art?D.How Can We Deal with Used Cans?【解题导语】本文主要讲述了一位德国艺术家利用垃圾创造艺术作品的故事,并以此鼓励读者行动起来,为环保出一份力。
