I recently met a Texan couple who son was still in diapers. They were eking to get him into a preschool that

(41)______ a private preparatory school with a great record for college admissions.

The couple were ambivalent (uncertain) about doing this. They were from immigrant and working-class

backgrounds, and had thrived in public schools. In theory, they believed that all children should have an equal chance

to succeed. But I (42)______ that if they got their son a spot in the preschool, they’d take it.

It’s a familiar story. Psychologists, sociologists and journalists have spent over a decade critiquing （评论；评判）

the habits of “helicopter parents” and their school (43)_______. They insist that hyper-parenting backfires — creating

a generation of stresd-out kids who can’t (44)______ alone. Parents themlves alternate between feeling guilty,

panicked and ridiculous.

But a new rearch shows that in our unequal era, this kind of parenting brings life-changing benefits. According

to the rearch, when inequality hit a low in the 1970s, there wasn’t that much of a gap between what someone

earned with or without a college degree. Strict parenting (45)______ an era of “permissive parenting” — giving

children lots of freedom with little oversight.

In the 1980s, however, inequality incread sharply in Western countries, especially the United States, and the

gap between white- and blue-collar pay widened. Permissive parenting was replaced by helicopter parenting. Middle-

and upper-class parents who’d gone to public schools and spent evenings playing kickball in the neighborhood began

elbowing their toddlers into fast-track preschools and spending evenings monitoring their homework and driving

them to activities.

American parents eventually incread their (46)_______ care-giving by about 12 hours a week, compared with

the 1970s.

Not all the changes were rational. But(47)______, the new parenting efforts emed effective. When the

rearchers analyzed the 2012 PISA, an academic test of 15-year-olds around the world, along with reports from the

teenagers and their parents about how they interact, they found that an “intensive parenting style” correlated with

higher scores on the test.

It’s not enough just to (48)______ over your kids, however. If you do it as an “authoritarian” parent — defined as

someone who (49)______ directives, expects children to obey and sometimes hits tho who don’t — you won’t get

the full benefits.

1

The most effective parents, according to the authors, are “authoritative.” They u reasoning to persuade kids to do

things that are good for them. Instead of strict obedience, they emphasize (50)_______, problem-solving and

independence — skills that will help their offspring in future workplaces that we can’t even imagine yet.

And they em most successful at helping their kids achieve the holy grailsof modern parenting: college and

(圣杯)

postgraduate degrees, which now have a huge financial payoff.

The benefits aren’t just (51)_______. In a British study, kids raid by authoritative parents reported better health

and higher lf-esteem. In the American study, they were less likely to u drugs, smoke or(52) _______ alcohol.

So why wouldn’t everyone just become a(n) (53)______ parent? Religious people, regardless of their income, are

more likely to be authoritarian parents who expect obedience and believe in corporal punishment, the authors found.

Working-class and poor parents might not have the leisure time to hover or the budget to pay for activities and

expensive schools. And they may (54)_______ feel that they need to prepare their children for jobs in which

rule-following matters more than debating skills. Tho who can afford to helicopter are probably making things even

more unequal for the next generation. Since there’s apparently no (55)_______ to how much people will do for their

kids, the prognosis for parenting doesn’t look good. Yet another reason to elect people who’ll make America more

equal: We grown-ups can finally stop doing homework.

Face shape lets AI spot rare disorders

People with genetic syndromes（综合症）sometimes have revealing facial features, but using them to make a quick

and cheap diagnosis an be ___41___ given there are hundreds of possible conditions they may have. A new neural

network that analys photographs of faces can help doctors ___42___ the possibilities.

Yaron Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at the overall

impression of faces and ___43___ a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person is most likely to have.

They ___44___ the neural network, called DeepGestalt, on 17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than

200 genetic syndromes. The team then asked the AI to ___45___ potential genetic disorders from a further 502

photos of people with such conditions. It included the correct answer among its list of 10 respons 91 per cent of the

time.

Gurovich and his team also ___46___ the neural network’s ability to distinguish between the different genetic

mutations（变异）that can lead to the same syndrome. They ud photographs of people with Noonan syndrome,

which can result from mutations in any one of five genes. DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source of the

physical appearance 64 per cent of the time. It’s clearly not ___47___, but it’s still much better than humans are at

trying to do this.

As the system makes its asssments, the facial regions that were most helpful in the determination are ___48___

and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand the relationships between genetic make-up and

physical appearance.

The fact that the diagnosis is bad on a simple photograph rais questions about ___49___. If faces can reveal

details about genetics, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle, ___50___ u such techniques to

___51___ against people who have a high probability of having certain disorders. ___52___, Gurovich says the tool

will only be ___53___ for u by clinicians.

This technique could bring significant ___54___ for tho who have genetic syndromes. The real value here is that

3

for some of the ultra-rare dias, the process of diagnosis can be many, many years. This kind of technology can

help narrow down the arch space and then be confirmed through checking genetic markers. For some dias, it

will cut down the time to diagnosis dramatically. For others, it could perhaps add means of finding other people with

the dia and, ___55___, help find new treatments or cures.

Biodiversity is a concept that's commonly referenced, yet regularly misunderstood. The complex (41)______ not

only refers to the unbelievable variety of life on Earth, but to how everything from genes to entire ecosystems interact

to make the planet habitable. The bad news: science shows that biodiversity is (42)______ worldwide at a faster rate

than at any time in human history. That’s obviously devastating for everything in nature--including us.

“If biodiversity disappears, so do people,” says Dr. Stephen Woodley, field ecologist and bio-diversity expert

with the International Union for Conrvation of Nature. “We are part of the (43)______ and we do not exist without

it.”

Preventing such a catastrophe, says Woodley, begins with understanding why biodiversity is declining, and then

taking action to (44)______ cour.

“The two greatest (45)______ of biodiversity loss are habitat loss, primarily on land, and overexploitation,

primarily in the ocean,” Woodley says. He explains that we can solve the problems by permanently (46)______

more lands and oceans and managing them for their conrvation values.

That's the mission of the global Campaign for Nature, a partnership of the Wyss Foundation and the National

Geographic Society. Instead of simply protecting 30 percent of the Earth, the (47)______ also encourages nations, in

full partnership with local communities, to focus on the right 30 percent. Tho areas, says Woodley, (48)______ the

most important biodiversity, such as endangered species and ecosystems and rare species and ecosystems.

The campaign also recognizes the importance of (49)______ local rights. Local peoples manage or hold

tenure(保有权) over lands that support about 80 percent of the world's biodiversity, making it (50)______ for the

communities to be full partners in developing and implementing strategies.

(51)______, protecting the health of key biodiversity areas is vital for tackling climate change, says National

Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala. Pairing the international Paris Agreement to combat climate

change, Sala's paper asrts, “would (52)______catastrophic(灾难性的) climate change, conrve species, and cure

“Biodiversity is stability,” says Sala. “Trees, wetlands, grasslands, peat bogs(泥炭沼泽), salt marshes(盐沼),

healthy ocean ecosystems, mangroves(红树林), and plants (53)______ much of the carbon pollution humans put into

the atmosphere. Yet, right now, less than half of the planet is in its natural state, which isn't enough.” Bottom line:

Nature needs us to act-now. “Moving to Mars is not a(n) (54)______,” Sala adds. “The only conditions for our life

other parties more privacy protections in their u of the global Internet. When Congress considered reversing online

privacy rules last week, Steve Wilmot, a Los Angeles songwriter, reacted like many (41) ____ consumers. He looked

into signing up for a technology rvice known as a virtual private network, or VPN.

The online privacy rules, which were just t to go into effect this year but fully (42) ____ on Monday by

President Trump, would have required broadband providers like Comcast to get (43) ____ from customers before

working properly when you are connected to a virtual network.

Here's an overview of the pros and cons, bad on tests of VPN rvices and interviews with(48) _________

experts.

Why go with a VPN?

When you brow the web, a broadband provider helps (49) ____ your device's internet traffic to each

destination website. When you are on the internet, a rvice provider can e which devices you u and which sites

you visit. But with VPN, all your internet provider would e is the VPN rver's IP address connected to the VPN

rvice.

Does a VPN have any (50) ____?

The Psychology of Discounting

When retailers want to persuade customers to buy a particular product, they typically offer it at a discount.

According to a new study to be published in the Journal of Marketing, however, they are (41)________ a trick.

A team of rearchers, led by Akshay Rao of the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management,

(42)________ consumers’ attitudes to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to

getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are poor at fractions(分数).

Consumers often struggle to realize, (43)________, that a 50% increa in (44)________ is the same as a 33%

discount in price. They overwhelmingly (45)________ the former is better value. In an experiment, the rearchers

sold 73% more hand cream when it was offered in a bonus pack than when it carried an (46)________ discount (even

after all other effects, such as a desire to stockpile were controlled for).

This mathematical blind spot remains even when the deal clearly (47)________ the discounted product. In

another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two (48)________ on loo coffee beans: 33%

extra free or 33% off the price. The discount is by far the better proposition, but the suppodly clever students

9

viewed them as equivalent.

Studies have shown other ways in which retailers can exploit consumers’ mathematical (49)________. One is to

confu them with (50)________ discounting. People are more likely to e a(n) (51)________ in a product that has

been reduced by 20%, and then by an additional 25%, than one that has been subject to an equivalent, one-off, 40%

reduction.

Marketing types can draw lessons beyond just (52)________, says Mr Rao. When advertising a new car’s

efficiency, for example, it is more (53)________ to talk about the number of extra miles per gallon it does, rather

than the equivalent percentage (54)________ in fuel consumption.

There may be lessons for regulators too. Even (55)________ shoppers are easily foxed. Sending everyone back

to school for maths refresher-cours ems out of the question. But more noticeably displayed unit prices in shops

and advertiments would be a great help.

Transportation is the movement or conveying of persons and goods from one location to another.

(41)______human beings, from ancient times to the 21st century, sought to make their transport facilities more

(42)_____ they have always endeavored to move people and property with the least expenditure of time, effort and

cost. Improved transportation had helped(43)_____ toward better living, the modern systems of manufacturing and

commerce, and the complex, interdependent urban economy prent in (44)______ of the world today.

In early periods, human beings supplemented their own carrying of goods and posssions by starting

to(45)______animals—training them to bear small loads and pull crude sleds. The invention of the wheel, probably

in western Asia, was a great step forward in transport. As the wheel was perfected, crude carts and wagons began

to(46)______in the Tigris-Euphrates valley about 3500 BC, and later in Crete, Egypt, and China. Wheeled vehicles

could not u the(47)______ paths and trails ud by pack animals, and early roads were soon being built by the

Assyrians and the Persians.

The greatest improvements in transportation have appeared in the last two(48)______, a period during which the

Industrial Revolution has vastly changed the economic life of the entire world. Crude railways-hor-drawn wagons

with wooden wheels and rails had been ud in English and European mines during the 17th century. Although it first

appeared in England, the railroad had its most dramatic growth in the United States. By 1840 more than 4,800 km of

railroad were already operating in the eastern states, a figure 40 percent greater than the total railroad mileage of

Europe.(49)______, since World War I, the U.S. railroads have been in a decline, partly becau private automobiles,

trucks, bus, pipelines, and airlines developed rapidly.

The first new mode of transportation to(50)______the railroad was the motor vehicle, which was made possible by

the invention, in the 1860s and 1870s, of the internal engine of the process of burning. The automobile found its

greatest popularity in the United States, where the first "horless carriages" appeared in the 1890s. Two hundred

million motor vehicles had been produced in the nation within 70 years of their first appearance. The automobile thus

became in many ways(51)______to the 20th century ______ the railroads had been to the 19th.

During the same period intercity bus (52)_______ a large portion of commercial pasnger travel, and trucks

began carrying a great deal of the nation's freight.

Although the emphasis on fuel conrvation become gradually less in the 1980s, (53)______ doubt that oil

scarcities are likely to happen, as they did in the 1970s. Future possibilities include automobiles with far greater fuel

11

efficiency and improved mass-transit systems. Both will occur not only(54)______ oil-supply disruption, but also as

an answer to increasing demands for cleaner air. Improvements in mass transit offer the most promi for the future.
