John and his 10-year-old son Chase search the streets of Salt Lake City every weekends for the perfect person take to lunch. That they require is that the person is homeless. They started it four years before to share a meal among someone, listen to them and figure out how they can help. Mike Campbell is one of the first people they took to lunch and we are still in touch. John or Chase know they can’t solve the homeless problem. They just hope the kindness will go on. “If we have the other people come out and help, people will have a happily life.” Chase said.
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A landlord in Maine announced he would not be collecting rent from his tenants (租户) in April due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak.
Nathan Nichols, of South Portland, wrote on Facebook that the tenants 1. (live) in the two units he owns are service and hourly workers, who may be out of work in the coming months.
“Because I am 2. (fortune) enough to afford it and I have the privilege of being in the owner class, I just let them know I would not be collecting rent 3. April,” Nichols wrote. “I ask any other landlords out there to take 4. serious look at the situation and consider giving their tenants some rent relief as well.
Nichols’ post has more than 22,000 shares and 5. (hundred) of comments praising his 6. (decide). In an update post on Facebook, he revealed that it had inspired at least one other landlord to do the same.
He added: “Every so often, however, there is a comment from a landlord who would like 7. (help) the tenants, but 8. (simple) can’t, or from a tenant who really wishes the landlord would help him, but 9. (doubt) whether they will. To these people, I say: I don’t know your situation and I don’t want to judge that a landlord 10. is still collecting rent is somehow a bad person.”

How AI Protects Us
We should consider AI not as something competing with us, but as something that can strengthen our abilities. 1. And it might help keep us safe in the 21st century.
Predict infectious (传染性的) diseases
The AI in medicine is a system that combines the time and location of each new infectious disease. “These are all factors that determine how the disease will spread,” explains a researcher. 2. It will allow public health officials to take action early for locals.
Keep hunger from the door
Researchers develop an automated system aimed at fighting against diseases in crops. The Mcrops project allows local farmers to take pictures of their plants and use computers that have been trained to spot the signs of the four main diseases that are responsible for damaging crops. 3.
Fight cancer
Cancer causes more than 8.8 million deaths worldwide and 14 million people are diagnosed with some form of cancer every year. 4. Now Google and IBM have been applying their AI technology to this problem.
5.
The task of balancing power supplies is getting harder. The spread of smart meters — digital energy monitors that automatically record usage - is also providing more data than ever about how and when consumers use energy. The EU alone plans to have 500 million smart meters in homes by 2020.
A.Record the locations smartly.
B.Keep the balance of power supplies
C.Thus, the farmers can have a good harvest.
D.The system can also help to predict the disease.
E.This is because AI has an ability that’s far beyond humans.
F.But now people have no ideas how to deal with the terrible problem.
G.Yet catching cancers as early as possible can greatly improve a patient’s chances of survival.
Role models (榜样) are important for inspiring (鼓舞) scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more motivating (激励人的) than scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.
In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated by scientists whose success was connected with effort than those whose success was because of born intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.
Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at Penn State, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology — will help deal with certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.
According to the researchers, there is concern in the science community with the number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out from those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ahn wanted to research role modeling (行为榜样), which gives the students specific goals, behaviors or strategies (策略) they can follow.
The researchers performed studies with 176, and 162 participants (参与者) in each, respectively. In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in their science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories are the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance (才华) was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants who believed the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of math problems.
“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is usually linked to his effort.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and effort, more students will step into science confidently. “

A.Those who are famous around the world.
B.Those who are famous for their hard work.

B.The students will drop out of school soon.
C.There are fewer role models for students to follow.
D.Some scientists can not give students specific goals.
3.Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of math problems?
A.They knew the problems were given by Edison.
B.They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.
C.They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.
D.They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Einstein’s Success Story
B.Edison’s Achievements Are Greater
C.How to Be a Great Scientist
D.Einstein Is Less Encouraging Than Edison
