other educational organizations keep in contact with students this way, offering advice and help when needed.
However, Alejandra Acosta---a higher education policy expert at New America一notes that there are several qualities a nudge campaign must possess in order to be successful.
Acosta says messages must be timely, meaning they reach college students well before the date by which a student is required to take action. Additionally nudges should be written clearly and provide as much information as possible. If students start to struggle in class, school officials should not just message them, saying they should seek academic support. The message should give information about what kinds of support the college or university offers and exactly how the student can make use of them. That is why nudges should possess interactive qualities, Acosta says. For example, students should be able to ask questions of school officials or be directed to a website for more information. In addition, colleges and universities must ensure their support services are in place and working as best they can.
When nudges work, they can do a lot of good. In 2018, a nonprofit group launched a nudging campaign at four U.S. community colleges. They worked with nearly 10.000 first-year students at three such colleges in Ohio and one in Virginia. A recent study found that older and minority students who agreed to receive these nudges were 16 to 20 percent more likely to continue into their second year than those who did not.
61. Who is most likely to receive and complete higher education according to the passage? A. Tony, whose father is the only bread-winner in the family. B. Jimmy, whose mother is a worker in a small factory.
C. Betty, whose grandmother is a housemaid of a famous university professor.
D. Cathy, whose parents failed to attend college but succeeded in starting a big company. 62. What can we know about nudging?
A. It is anchored in psychological science. B. It is a way to improve people s mind. C. It offers concrete and direct advice.
D. It helps students via emails and text messages.
63. Which adjectives can be used to describe ideal message qualities of nudging? A. Timely, practical and interactive. B. Timely, interactive and sustainable. C. Immediate, authentic and consistent. D. Immediate, interactive and permanent 64. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. The problem with higher education. B. A way for colleges to support students. C. The popularity of nudging campaign.
D. A national campaign dealing with poverty.

Liu, the farmer, sat! at the door of his one-room house. It was a warm evening in late February, and in his thin body he felt the coming of spring How he knew that the time had now come when life began to move in the soil? He could not have told himself. Most of al, in ay other year than this he might have pointed to his wheat fields where he panted wheat in the winter when he land was not needed for rice and where, when spring was moving into summer, he pated the good rice for rice was his chief crop. Bu the land told nothing his year. There was no wheat on it, for the flood had covered it long after wheat should have been planted, and it lay there cracked and like clay but newly dried.
Well, on such a day as this, if he had his buffalo (水牛) and his plow (犁) as he had always had in other years, he would have gone out and plowed up that cracked soil. He ached to plow it up and make it look like a field again, yes, even though he had not so much as one seed to put in it. But he had no buffalo. If anyone had told him that he would eat his own water buffalo that plowed the good land to him; he would have called that man idiot. Yet it was what he had done. He had eaten his own water buffalo, he and his wife and his parents and his four children, they had all eaten the buffalo together.
But what else could they do on that dark winter ’s day when the last of their store of grain was gone, when the trees were cut and sold, when he had sold everything, even the little they had saved from the flood, and there was nothing left except the shabby house they had and the worm clothes they wore? Was there sense in removing the coat from one's back to feed one's belly? On that day when he had seen the faces of his old parents set as though dead, on that day when he had heard the crying of his children and seen his little daughter dying. such a despair had seized him as made him like a man without his reason, so that he had gathered all his strength and he had done what he said he never would; he had taken the kitchen knife and gone out and killed his own beast. When he did it, even in his despair, he screamed, for it was as though he killed his own brother. To him it was the last sacrifice.
___(68)__ It would have taken them all except that in the great pools lying everywhere, which were left from the flood, there were shrimps (小虾), and these they had eaten raw and were still eating,

He sat on heavily, looking out over his land. If he had his buffalo back, if he had his plow that they had burned for fuel. But now he was comforted by nothing.
And he looked, hopeless, into the barren (贫瘠的) spring.
65. Why didn't Liu know the coming of spring according to Paragraph 1?

Artificial intelligence in business
Lie detectors are not widely used in business, but Ping An, a Chinese insurance company, thinks it Is a great tool. The company lets customers apply for loans through is app Potential borrowers answer questions about their income and plans for repayment by video, which monitors around 50 tiny facial expressions to determine whether they are telling the truth. The program, enabled by artificial intelligence (AI), helps identify customers who require further check.
Instead of relying on rough estimates, cleverer and speedier AI-powered predictions promise to improve the efficiency in business. Leroy Merlin, a French home-improvement retailer (零售商)，now uses AI to take in past sales data and other information that could affect sales, such as weather forecasts, in order to stock shelves more effectively. That has helped it reduce its inventory (存货总信) by 8% even as sales have risen by 2%.
Until now AI has been beneficial mainly to the technology department. Most of today’s leading tech firms, such as Google and Amazon in the West and Alibaba and Baidu in China, would not be as big and successful without AI for product recommendations,\demand.
The path ahead is exciting but dangerous. Around 85% of companies think AI will offer a
competitive advantage, but only one in 20 is “extensively\ companies will be timing. Companies are struggling to figure out what to spend money on If they invest huge sums in AI early on, they run the risk of overcommitting themselves or paying large
amounts for worthless startups. But if they wait too long, they may leave themselves open to destruction from upstarts, as well as from competitors.
Some may have been misled by enthusiastic media reports, believing Al to be a magic stick that can be installed as easily as a piece of Microsoft software, says Gautam Schroff Tata Consultancy. Services, an Indian firm.
Bosses of non-tech companies in a broad range of industries are starting to worry that AI could affect or even destroy them, and have been buying up promising young tech firms to ensure they do not fall behind.
A longer-term concern is the way AI creates a virtuous circle (良性循环) or“flywheel\ allowing companies that embrace it to operate more efficiently, produce more data, improve their
services, attract more customers and offer lower prices. That sounds like a good thing, but it could also lead to more monopoly (垄断) power.

A Chinese film Better Days has stirred heated discussions on campus bullying. While many bullying cases have been cleared up in China, joint efforts must be made to end it. (30 words)
There’s no denying that campus bullying not only brings harm to society, but also has negative impacts on the victimized students. It’ll lead to them suffering from abuse, even death, causing permanent damage to their self-esteem. Meanwhile, it results in wrong values and beliefs of bullies and bystanders, which will reinforce violent behavior.
The problem of campus bullying, if not properly dealt with, will create a vicious circle. Violence films should be banned from being broadcast on campus, thus avoiding possible bad influence on students. The public are to establish a cooperative and friendly working model, setting good examples to teenagers. As for students ourselves, we’d better help more peers realize its damage. Let’s take action together to stop bullying. (120 words)
