共用题干 Verity Allen's New Show on Colors1 Different colors can affect us in many different ways;that's according to Verity Allen.In her new se- ries'Color me Healthy',Verity looks at the ways that colors can influence how hard we work and thechoices we make.They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we arc.2 "Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colors for the same things?" says Verity."Ourtoothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red.It'g never green.Why not?For some reason we think that blue and white is clean,while we think of green products as being a bit disgusting. It's the same for businesses.We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black,but we don't respect one that uses pink or orange.People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy."3 During this four-pait series,Verity studies eight different colors,two colors in each program.Shemeets people who work in all teipects of the color industry,from people who design food packets to people who name the colors of lipsticks.4 Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas,such as the American"Color Doctor"who believes that serious diseases can be cured by,he use of colored lights. However,she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice,withsome surprising results.5 Overall,it's an interesting show,and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new.But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series,it's up to the viewers to make their own decisions about how much they should believe.People who_____________can use the ideas of colors to influence what we buy.A:little scientific knowledge B:make their own decisionsC:design new productsD:change our emotionsE:name the coioro of lipotick5F:all aspects of the color industry

Text 3 The concept of man versus machine is at least as old as the industrial revolution,but this phenomenon tends to be most acutely felt during economic downturns and fragile recoveries.And yet,it would be a mistake to think we are right now simply experiencing the painful side of a boom and bust cycle.Certain jobs have gone away for good,outmoded by machines.Since technology has such an insatiable appetite for eating up human jobs,this phenomenon will continue to restructure our economy in ways we can't immediately foresee.When there is rapid improvement in the price and performance of technology,jobs that were once thought to be immune from automation suddenly become threatened.This argument has attracted a lot of attention,via the success of the book Race Against the Machine,by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee,who both hail from MIT's Center for Digital Business.This is a powerful argument,and a scary one.And yet,John Hagel,author of The Power of Pull and other books,says Brynjolfsson and McAfee miss the reason why these jobs are so vulnerable to technology in the first place.Hagel says we have designed jobs in the U.S.that tend to be“tightly scripted”and“highly standardized”ones that leave no room for“individual initiative or creativity.”In short,these are the types of jobs that machines can perform much better at than human beings.That is how we have put a giant target sign on the backs of American workers,Hagel says.It's time to reinvent the formula for how work is conducted,since we are still relying ona very 20th century notion of work,Hagel says.In our rapidly changing economy,we more than ever need people in the workplace who can take initiative and exercise their imagination“to respond to unexpected events.”That's not something machines are good at.They are designed to perform very predictable activities.As Hagel notes,Brynjolfsson and McAfee indeed touched on this point in their book.We need to reframe race against the machine as race with the machine.In other words,we need to look at the ways in which machines can augment human labor rather than replace it.So then the problem is not really about technology,but rather,“how do we innovate our institutions and our work practices? According to the first paragraph,economic downturns would____A.ease the competition of man vs.Machine B.highlight machines'threat to human jobs C.provoke a painful technological revolution D.outmode our current economic structure
