2.
Parents and educators can teach kids to change
their fixed mindsets and see more
potential in themselves and other
people
．
Do you agree with
this statement? If your
answer is yes,
here’s something you might
consider
．
Research suggests
that believing in
the human ability to
change is linked to less depression, better
health and greater
achievement
．
This is the “growth
mindset”,
an idea pioneered by
Stanford researcher
Carol
Dweck
．
According to this research, when we practice a
growth mindset,
the difficulties we’re
facing seem more likely to be
________
．
It’s
important for us to realize we aren’t
helpless; we can grow and
adapt
．
Just as important as
seeing ourselves as capable of
growth,
this reduces some of the pressure we might feel,
and helps us think more in terms
of
challenges than threats
．
According to studies, developing a
growth mindset is of
importance
．
For example, a
simple belief in the possibility of
change may have a powerful effect on our
thinking
﹣
potentially freeing
us to actually see our way through anxiety and a
sense of failure among
peer conflicts
and peer
exclusion
（排除，驱逐）
．
Research also indicates that believing
personalities can change can lower
aggression and better navigate social
relationships
．
Additionally, if we believe personalities are
changeable and that situation
can
change, we can also apply this thinking to
groups, resulting in an increased
cooperation
．
A
growth mindset isn’t a personal state
of being;
instead,
it’s a
way of thinking or a
strategy we can
apply in a given situation
．
It isn’t something you simply have or
you
don’t
．
However,
sometimes it’s really challenging to
access a growth mindset
．
Something
like feeling threatened,
compared or criticized can make us feel unsafe so
that it can be
difficult to believe in
the ability for change
．
Fortunately,
there’s alway
s
something you can
do to develop a
growth mindset
．
（

Acc
ording to Carol Dweck
，
a
growth mindset is the belief that our
abilities________
．
stable
B. aren’t
fixed
C. are for growth

growth mindsets are more likely
to________
．
A.
behave more bravely
B. be strict with
themselves
C. do something on their own

3. As new technology
is introduced, there are many who worry about its
influence on our
current and future
lifestyles
﹣
particularly
when it comes to jobs
．
It is
a current belief that
with the rise of
automation and artificial intelligence
（
AI
）
,
many people’s jobs,
and
therefore their livelihoods, are
likely to be lost
．
Automation in the workplace is
nothing new
．
Machines have
been performing dull tasks
on our
behalf for years, allowing us to escape many
repetitive jobs
．
In fact,
the
International Federation of
Robotics states that in manufacturing on average
there are now
74 robots per 10, 000
employees
．
That has risen
from 66 in 2015
．
A recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute
states that nearly two thirds of all jobs
could have at least 30% of their
activities automated by
2030
．
However, McKinsey
also
believes that this new technology
will also ‘create new occupations that do not
exist
today, much as technologies in
the past have done
．
’ As the
ho
rse gave way to the
car,
hostlers
（马夫）
became
mechanics and mechanised manufacturing drove up
wages
and created more
long
﹣
term roles than it
destroyed
．
’It’s an evolution of work,
’ says Ian Barkin,
a
robotic process automation
specialist
．
As
low
﹣
skilled jobs
are taken on by AI, people will need to learn new
skills
．
‘This
calls on us
to focus on improving
ourselves
．
Technology can lead to job reductions
but it doesn’t have
to,
’
says Barkin
．
Whether or not robots and AI will leave us all
jobless remains to be seen
．
Current views
on the subject are
mixed
．
Increased automation
could indeed lead to a loss of some
jobs, but at the same time is likely
to create many more as new skills are
required
．
Will
they balance out?
I’ll get
my AI assistant to g
et back to you on
that one
．
（

How
do many people feel about the influence of
AI
？
________
A.
Quite confused

pride

AI according to Ian
Barkin
？
________
A. The ability to keep

4. Somali pirates robbed three Thai
fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly 1,
200
miles off the Somali coast, the fa
rthest
﹣
off
﹣
shore attack to date, an officer said
Tuesday
．
Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer
to increased patrols
（巡逻）
by
warships off the Somali
shore
．
The robbing of the
three ships Sunday was about 600 miles
outside the normal operation area for
the international force, said a
spokesman
．
The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea
was a clear sign that the international
patrols against pirates were having a
“marked effect on pirate activity in the
area”
．
“Once they start attacking that far
out,
you’re not even really
talking about the Somali
basin or areas
of water that have any connection with
Somalia
．
” said an
officer,
Roger
Middleton
．
“Once you’re that far out,
it’s just the Indian Ocean,
and it means you’re
looking
at trade going from the Gulf to Asia, from Asia
to South Africa
．
”
“This is the farthest
robbing to date

total
．
All of them are Thai, the spokesman
said
．
Before the Sunday
robbing, pirates held
11 ships and 228
sailors
．
Pirates have increased attacks over the past year
in hopes of catching more dollar
payments
．
Because
of increased patrols and defenses on board ships,
the success rate has
gone down, though
the number of successful attacks has stayed the
same year over year
