If job seekers knew companies were using AI to fill open positions, would it stop them from applying for the job The answer, according to a recent study, is yes — sometimes.
The researchers found that in certain instances, like the screening (筛选) of applications, participants usually accepted some degree of automation. But in other instances, like interviews, automation could stop job seekers from applying for a position.
Companies facing recent labor shortages are increasingly turning to AI as a way to facilitate and speed up the hiring process. AI can be used in tasks such as screening job candidates, checking professional licenses, and interviewing candidates.
The new research suggests that using AI in hiring could be quite opposite. For instance, in one part of the study, participants were shown fictional job postings and then asked if they intended to apply for the position. The researchers found that if the job posting said that AI was used both to screen applicants and to conduct interviews, participants’ intention to apply for the position averaged 2.77 on a six-point scale. If AI was used only for the screening process, participants’ intention to apply averaged 3.73.
In another experiment, the researchers also found that study participants saw pros and cons in the use of AI in interviewing. When told the hiring would be fully automated, some participants expected the whole hiring process to be more consistent (始终如一的) in its judgments. But others tended to believe that they had less voice in the final outcome. Overall, the study results suggest this concern tends to outweigh the appreciation of AI’s lack of bias (偏见) at the interviewing stage.
A mixed approach may be a way to get the best of both worlds. Participants may have been more open to automation earlier in the hiring process because they could see some benefits from using AI — such as less-biased decisions. But during the later stages applicants expect personal interaction, to give them an opportunity to sell themselves and to learn more about the company.
4．Why do companies increasingly turn to AI in hiring
A．To attract more applicants. B．To boost hiring process.
C．To pick out top candidates. D．To solve labor shortages.
5．In which part do participants prefer automation
A．Screening job candidates. B．Interviewing candidates.
C．Grading professional licenses. D．Predicting final outcomes.
6．What does the underlined part refer to in Paragraph 5
A．Less AI involvement. B．Lack of consistent judgments.
C．Less-biased decisions. D．Lack of personal interaction.
7．What’s the main idea of the text
A．Hi-tech is a two-edged sword.
B．AI finds its way to hiring process.
C．Automation may discourage job seekers.
D．A mixed approach should be adopted in hiring.

It is certainly true that pure fear doesn’t feel good, but that is the whole meaning of the emotion. Fear evolved over millions of years to protect us from danger. So, yes, fear is a feel-bad emotion, but also the engine in a whole range of pleasurable activities and behaviors, which inspire what we can call recreational fear.
Recreational fear can be found everywhere. From a very early age, humans love being jump scared by caregivers. They get older and take great pleasure in chase-play and hide-and-seek. They are drawn to scary stories about monsters, witches and ghosts. As they grow a little older, they get together for horror movie nights, stand patiently in line for roller coasters, and play horror video games. Indeed, most of us never quite lose our peculiar attraction to recreational fear.
It is believed that recreational fear is a form of play behavior, widespread in the animal kingdom and humans. When an organism plays, it learns important skills and develops strategies for survival. Playfighting cats train their ability to defend themselves in an unfriendly encounter, but with little risk and low cost, compared to the real thing. It’s the same with humans. When we engage in recreational fear activities specifically, we play with fear, challenge our limits, and learn about our own physiological and psychological responses to stress.
Any other benefits In the studies of engagement with recreational fear, we’ve seen it improve people’s ability to cope with stress and anxiety. For instance, it was found that people who watch many horror movies exhibited better psychological resilience (承受力) during the first COVID-19 lockdown than people who stay away from scary movies.
With these in mind, we should maybe think twice about protecting kids and young people too zealously (热衷地) from playful forms of fear. They’ll end up in the real world sooner or later, and they will be better equipped if they’ve at least pretended to be there before.
8．Which of the following belongs to recreational fear
A．Watching a parade.
B．Having a scary dream.
C．Riding a pirate ship.
D．Falling into the river.
9．How does recreational fear benefit us
A．By leading us to true happiness.
B．By improving our survival skills.
C．By ridding us of trouble in real life.
D．By helping us build up confidence.
10．Why is the example mentioned in Paragraph 4
A．To imply COVID-19 is like a scene in horror movies.
B．To prove lockdown is an effective measure to stop COVID-19.
C．To show recreational fear can make us mentally strong.
D．To recommend us a proper way to reduce stress and anxiety.
11．What is the author’s attitude towards recreational fear
A．Positive. B．Critical.
C．Worried. D．Skeptical.
D
A quarter of the world’s population eat peppers every day, notes Joshua Tewksbury. He is a biologist who spent 10 years studying peppers.
Peppers do much more than burn people’s mouths. Scientists have discovered many uses for the thing. Called capsaicin(辣椒素), it’s the main ingredient in pepper spray. Some people use this weapon for self-defense. In smaller quantities, capsaicin can relieve pain, help with weight loss and possibly affect microbes(微生物)in the gut(肠道)to keep people healthier. Now how cool is that
Capsaicin triggers a rush of stress hormones. These will make the skin redden and sweat. It can also make someone feel energized. Some people enjoy this feeling. But there is another reason why peppers show up on dinner plates around the world. When food sits out in warm weather, microbes on the food start to multiply. If people eat food with too many of these germs, they risk getting very sick. The cold temperature inside a refrigerator stops most microbes from growing. That’s why most people today rely on refrigerators to keep their food fresh. But long ago, those appliances weren’t available. Peppers were. Their capsaicin and other chemicals, it turns out, can slow or stop microbial growth. Before refrigerators, people living in most hot parts of the world developed a taste for spicy foods.
Peppers also may help people lose weight. However, a person can’t simply eat hot, spicy food and expect to lose pounds. “It’s not a magic remedy,” warns Baskaran Thyagarajan. As a pharmacologist, he studies the effects of medicines. His team is now working to create a drug to make the body burn through fat more quickly than usual. A primary ingredient: Capsaicin. In a 2015 study, his group showed that mice that ate a high-fat diet containing capsaicin did not gain extra weight. But a group of mice that ate only the high-fat diet became obese.
As scientists continue to uncover the secret powers of peppers, people will keep spicing up their soups, stews, stir-fries and other favorite dishes. Next time you see a pepper on a plate, take a deep breath, and then take a bite.
12．What can peppers be used to do according to Paragraph 2
A．Keep people’s mouths clean.
B．Defend a country from invasion.
C．Make people feel less painful.
D．Prevent people from getting sick.
13．Before refrigerators, how did people eat safer
A．Placing food in the open air.
B．Only eating fresh food.
C．Storing food in other appliances.
D．Adding peppers to food.
14．Which of the following can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4
A．Healthy. B．Bad-tempered.
C．Skinny. D．Overweight.
15．Which can be the suitable title for the text
A．The Cool Science of Hot Peppers
B．A Great Way To Preserve Food
C．Magical Peppers To Lose Weight
D．A Hot Trend of Enjoying Peppers
二、七选五
Being productive is not working every day 15 hours without any break. 16 If you can become more productive, you will be able to save the most valuable things you have: your time! Here are some tips that I usually use to improve my productivity level.
You need to have a physical and digital working environment that motivates you to work. Make sure to remove any distractions on your desk, including your phone or other things that could ruin your concentration. 17 Yes, I’m talking about these people who have so many files that they can’t see their wallpaper anymore.
18 Personally, I like working on different things during my day. Working in a field should not be an excuse to just work in that specific field. There are so many fields to discover on this earth. For example, I work in computer science. If I’m only doing programming during my day, I get bored. So I write articles about things that I like. 19
Moreover, don’t force yourself to do something if you have spent more than 30 minutes trying to start it. It’s okay to postpone, you will do it another time. You just have to be conscious of the reason why you postponed it. If you are feeling overwhelmed, it’s a good way to do something to relax you. 20 Then go back to what you have postponed and you could be more productive.
A．That’s the same idea with your desktop.
B．They could be about computer but not necessarily.
C．Diversifying your fields is another action you can take.
D．You can’t be fully productive if you don’t have energy.
E．It is just being able to spend less time by being efficient.
F．Clean your desk and sort out your folders on your desktop.
G．Just take a nap, do sport or do whatever makes you feel good.
