Foreight years,Mr Baker's business,Amazonex Lumber Co.sold rare tropical wood from the Amazon to customers in America.So,he could spend alotof time in the rainforest.Mr Baker told himself that selective harvest was managing the resource.
But on his birding outings,he began to notice that the forest had grown quieter and there were more and more cleared areas. Once,he saw an ilegal type of wood labeled with the name ofa type of wood legal to export.“It took me eight years to realize that selectively harvest and manage the forest made no sense,” he says.“I couldn't do it anymore.”
Therefore,Mr Baker founded an ecotourism company that takes tourists along Brazil's Rio Negro. With the trips,he aims to foster (培養)appreciation and awareness of managing the rainforest among global citizens.
The Amazon rainforest covers more than 2.3 milion square miles and is the biggest carbon store in the world,according to Giordane Martins,a biologist.Forty percentof Brazil'sland liesintheAmazon,but roughly twenty percent of itisalreadydeforested.Mr Baker regrets his contributing to this,but his tour company might compensate for it.
The rate of deforestation in Brazil is on the rise after falling for years,but Mr Baker remains optimistic.“Our role is to educate,”Mark says.“Some tourists acquire nature sensibility on our tours. One of the goals of ecotourism is to share the economic benefits of travel.The other is to help promote conservation,to generate income (收益)and help protect the forest.We've seen that happen,”he says.“I wish we could say we saved the rainforest.We haven't. But we have had an impact.\"

The goal of this book is to make the case for digital minimalism (極簡主義),including a detailed exploration of what it asks and why it works,and then to teach you how to adopt this philosophy if you decide it's right for you.
To do so,I divided the book into two parts.In part one,Idescribe the philosophical foundations of digital minimalism,starting with an examination of the forces that are making so many people's digital lives increasingly intolerable,before moving on to a detailed discussion of the digital minimalism philosophy.
Part one concludes by introducing my suggested method for adopting this philosophy: the digital declutter. This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days.At the end of the thirty days,you will then add back a small number of carefully chosen online activities that you believe will provide massive benefits to the things you value.
In the final chapter of part one,P'll guide you through carrying out your own digital decluttr. In doing so,Ill draw onan experiment Iran in 2018 in which over 1,600 people agreed to perform a digital declutter.You’ll hear these participants’stories and learn what strategies worked well for them,and what traps they encountered that you should avoid.
The second part of this book takes a closer look at some ideas that will help you cultivate (培養)a sustainable digital minimalism lifestyle.In these chapters,I examine issues such as the importance of solitude (獨處)and the necessity ofcultivating high-quality leisure to replace the time most now spend on mindless device use.Each chapter concludes with a collection of practices, which are designed to help you acton the big ideas of thechapter.You can view these practices as a toolbox meant toaid your efforts to build a minimalist lifestyle that works for your particular circumstances.
28.Whatisthebookaimedat?
A.Teachingcriticalthinkingskills. B.Advocatinga simple digital lifestyle.
C.Solving philosophical problems. D.Promoting the use of a digital device.

A. Clear-up. B. Add-on. C. Check-in. D. Take-over.
30.What is presented in the final chapter of part one?
A.Theoretical models.B.Statistical methods. C.Practical examples.D.Historical analyses.
31.What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?
A.Usethemasneeded. B.Recommend them to friends.
C.Evaluate their effects. D.Identifytheideasbehind them.

The Neurosurgical Simulation (神經外科模擬) and Artificial Inteligence Learning Center hired 70 medical students to perform virtual brain tumor removals.
Researchers randomly assigned students to receive instruction and feedback by either an AI tutor or a remote expert instructor,with a third control group receiving no instruction.AnAI-powered tutor calld the Virtual Operative Asistant (VOA) used a machine learning algorithm (算法)to teach safeand efficient surgical technique and provided personalized feedback,while a deep learning system and a team of experts assessed student performance.In the other group,remote instructors watched a live feed of the surgical simulations and provided feedback based on the student's performance.
Theresearchers found that students who received VOA instruction and feedback learned surgical skills 2.6 times faster and achieved 36% better performance compared to those who received instruction and feedback from remote instructors.Surgical skill plays an important role in patient outcomes both during and after brain surgery. VOA may be an effective way to increase neurosurgeon performance,improving patient safety while reducing the burden on human instructors.“Artificial intelligent tutors like the VOA may become a valuable tool in the training of the next generation of neurosurgeons,”says Rolando Del Maestro,senior author of the study in JAMA Network Open.“The VOA significantly improved expertise while creating an excellent learning environment. Ongoing studies are assessing how in-person instructors and AI-powered intelligent tutors can most effectively be used together to improve the mastery of neurosurgical skills.\"
\"Intelligent tutoring systems can use a variety of simulation platforms to provide almost unlimited chances for repetitive practice,”says Ali Fazlollahi,the study's first author.“With continued research, increased development,and dissemination (宣傳)of intelligent tutoring systems,we can be better prepared for ever-evolving future challenges.\"
32.WhatcanwelearnaboutVOA?
A. It is a kind of AI-powered tutor. B. It definitely improves patient safety.
C. It has successfully helped some patients. D. It will gradually replace in-person instructors.
33.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardVOA?
A. Critical. B.Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
34.What can we infer about intelligent tutoring systems?
A. They are easier to use. B.They can be used in various fields.
C.They still need more time to develop. D.They put pressure on human instructors.
35.Whatcanbethebesttitleforthetext?
A.AIHelpsMedicalEducation B.AI Improves People'sLife C.AI Replaces Human Instructors D.AI Performs Well in Medicine 第二節 (共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)

There really is a lot of pressure on people to change these days.We are frequently told to change our opinions,atitudes,behaviors,and directions._36_Instead of always striving to change to meet others’ expectations,perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves.
There is an old saying,“You can't teach anold dog new tricks,”implying that change (i.e.teaching “new tricks\") is important but old dogs cannot make that change._37_Instead of believing change is essentially necessary,we should consider why change is needed and what purpose it serves.
38_For example,a situation where a person is being told they need to have a“more positive attitude”is different froma situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly,the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first.
If others are telling you that you need to change,that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right._39_However,you needn't let it be the final word on what you need.
Evenif you decide to change because othersare teling you theyare bothered byhow you are,itis stil important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change.You can take their opinions but stil remind yourself,“Iam looking to change because Ido not want people to be upset at me,not because I have to.”40
A.Change can have a great many benefits.
B.You need to let them have their opinions.
C. Change takes a variety of different forms.
D.The saying has meanings for humans, too.
E.Animals get older and have more experiences.
F.Actually, the significance of change might be overstated.
G. That way you can remind yourself that you are seeing a reason to change.
