16．Talking to human-like devices can be great fun-just ask Siri to tell you a joke．But it muy also lead to problems．
A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely．
During a series of experiments，panicipants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely．They also took part in an online game of"catch"against a computer program that was designed to"throw"the hall to other players more often，but participants believed they were playing with real people online．
Participants were then introduced to human-like products，including a vacuum cleaner （真空吸尘器） designed to appear as if it were smiling．They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms，considering questions like"how much does it help you？"
The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn't need to seek out normal human interaction．
Generally，when people feel socially excluded，they seek out other ways to reduce
the feeling of loneliness．Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people，according to Jenny Olson，assistant professor of marketing at KU．
But it wasn't all bad news，as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend．
"As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling，they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person．"Olson told Daily Mail．^"The effect goes away．This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level．"
Researchers believe the results arc important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people，especially because so many new products feature interactivity．
"lf someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately，maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely．^"Olson said．"From that standpoint，it's important to be aware of it．"
The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely，without sacrificing normal social interaction．
"Maybe ii is more about improving our current relationships．"Olson said，"such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections．"

15．When I visit Merle，I always head straight to the kitchen．I play with her dog，and get settled at the table while Merle makes cups of tea for us．
We talk about anything we can think of：politics，dogs，the weather，and work．It's a ritual that I look forward to days in advance．
To an outsider，my visit appears to be simply the typical act of a granddaughter visiting her grandmother．But Merle and I are not related．She is my surrogate grandmother（代理外祖母）．
I didn't even realize I was in the market for a new grandparent until I gradually found that the relationship between Merle and I was exactly what I had with my maternal（母性的） grandparents---safe and comfortable．
While our relationship developed organically，there are plenty of people who have gone out searching for a grandparent-grandchild relationship．
Sydney-based Cate Kloos started"Find a Grandparent"in May 2012，after moving to Australia from Germany．While she enjoyed a close relationship with her grandparents in her native country，she realized her own children would be without their extended family（大家庭）．She wanted them to benefit in the same way that she had．Grandparents，she says，offer a different but essential kind of support．
"Find a Grandparent"works much like a match-mating service，where young families or individuals can ask for someone to act as a grandparent figure in their life．So far，several hundred families have made connections and spend time doing typical activities---lunch，going to movies and sharing stories．
"It is very important to have another person to turn to when they have problems； often grandparents have a different approach to life，"said Kloos．

14．Terraforming （Earth-forming） other planets，also known as planetary engineering （行星工程），seems like a task still centuries away for mankind to accomplish．However，it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest．Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if it's a good idea？
Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets．The atmosphere of Venus has been explored； robots have surveyed the surface of Mars； Mercury，Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft． Speculations have been answered；new questions have been raised，and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering．
In the past，people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves，or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested．But now，a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work．For instance，NASA funded a project on transforming Mars．
There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully．First，it's an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings．Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions．Secondly，the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control．Thirdly，such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial（地球外的）intelligence and alien civilizations on other planets．
Though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment，we should at least keep our options open．Through debate and study on this subject，the possibility of rebuilding other planets to make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future．

84．According to the context，what's the meaning of the word"Speculation"in paragraph 2？C
A．The act of discussing something with a group of people．
B．The act of studying and researching．
C．The act of guessing without knowing all the facts about something．
D．The acting of writing letters to a certain organization．
85．Why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past？A
A．They thought no one else would show interest in the idea．
B．They gradually came to find the idea crazy．
C．They thought the idea would never come true．
D．They had few resources for further study on this topic．
86．Which is NOT the reason to support the study of terraforming？D
A．Even if we don't succeed in terraforming，such study may help us to better understand technologies such as climate and weather control．
B．Such study may explore a new direction of development for human beings．
C．Such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets．
D．As the resources on Earth are being drained，it's very urgent to study how to migrate to other planets．
87．What's the main idea of the article？B
A．It's highly possible that terraforming other planets will come true so we should increase investing in this program．
B．Even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize，we have many reasons to support such studies．
C．Terraforming other planets is the best option for human being's future．
D．More and more people are taking planetary engineering as their occupation．

13．There are three branches of medicine．One is called"doctor medicine，"or"scientific medicine．"Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses，look for logical patterns，and then find out how the human body works．From there they figure out what treatments may work．This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC．Although nowadays it is successful，in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients．
A second kind of medicine is called"natural cures，"or"folk medicine，"in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs．These folk healers also use observation and logic，but they are not so aware of it．They try things until they find something that seems to work，and then they keep doing that．
Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine．
The third kind is called"health spas，"or"faith healing．"Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed．Other times，a magician may make you a magic charm，or say a spell（符咒）l，to cure you．Some religious groups organize special healing shrines（圣殿） for the sick．In these places people rest，get plenty of sleep，eat healthy food，drink water instead of wine，and exercise in various ways．They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods．If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard，going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better．
