When I made the decision to quit my full-time employment, I never thought that I could get
involved in an increasing global trend. I had to leave my relatively high-profile position for an
unexpected move that hurt my pride and prevented me from getting promoted. Yet, I excused my
departure by saying “I wanted to spend more time with my family”.
Curiously, after around two and a half years, my experience in what Americans refer to as
“downshifting” has turned my excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a
passionate advocate of Linda Kelsey’s “have it all” concept, which she has been promoting for the
past seven years in the pages of She magazine, into a woman who is content to accept a little bit of
everything.
I have discovered that abandoning the idea of “juggling your life” and adopting the alternative
strategy of “downshifting” has benefits that go far beyond financial success and social status. Nothing
could convince me to go back to the lifestyle Kelsey used to promote and which I had previously
enjoyed: 12-hour workdays, tight deadlines, the terrifying pressure of office politics, and the demand
of being a parent on “quality time”.
After the widespread layoffs (裁员) brought on by cost-cutting in the late 1980s, America started
to move toward a simpler, less materialistic way of life as a response to the economic downturn. In
America, simplifying one’s life is frequently done for financial reasons, but in Britain, at least among
the middle class I know, we have different motivations for doing so. For the women of my generation
who were encouraged to keep juggling, downshifting is not so much a search for a mythical (虚无的)
good life—growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one—as a personal
recognition of your limitations.
24. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. The writer didn’t take pride in her original job.
B. Full-time employment is a new international trend.
C. The writer was eager to spend more time with her family.
D. The writer was forced to resign due to an external factor.
25. What do we know about downshifting according to the text?
A. The writer abandoned her high social status for downshifting.
B. Downshifting allowed the writer to make her dream come true.
C. The writer changed her way of thinking through downshifting.
D. The writer accepted the concept of She magazine because of downshifting.
26. What does the underlined phrase “juggling your life” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Settling for a bit of
everything.
B. Choosing to live a simple life.
C. Adopting a busy and stressful lifestyle.
D. Staying away from a materialistic way of life.
27. What does the writer intend to tell us?
A. It is never too late to pursue your dream.
B. Downshifting results in a more satisfactory and simpler life.
C. There is a difference between the American and British cultures.
D. People should adopt downshifting to search for mythical experiences.
C
Like most nerds who read science fiction, I’ve kept wondering how society will greet true
artificial intelligence, if and when it arrives. Will we panic? Ignore it and go about our daily lives?
Hence, it’s been fascinating to watch the Twittersphere try to make sense of ChatGPT, a new cutting-
edge A.I. chatbot opened for testing at the end of 2022. ChatGPT—which stands for “generative pre-
trained transformer”— landed with a splash. In five days, more than a million people signed up to test
it.
In recent years, though a few A.I. tools have gotten good at doing narrow and well-defined tasks,
like writing marketing copy, they still tend to be weak when taken outside their comfort zones. But
ChatGPT feels different. Smarter. More flexible. It can write jokes and college-level essays. It can
also guess at medical diagnoses, and even seems good at answering the types of open-ended
analytical questions which frequently appear on school assignments.
The technology that powers ChatGPT isn’t, strictly speaking, new. It’s based on what the
company calls “GPT-3.5,” an upgraded version of GPT-3 in 2020. While the existence of a highly
capable linguistic superbrain might be old news to A.I. researchers, it’s the first time such a powerful
tool has been made available to the general public through a free, easy-to-use web interface.
Unlike Google, ChatGPT doesn’t crawl the web for information on current events, and its
knowledge is restricted to things it learned before 2021. Since ChatGPT training data includes billions
of examples of human opinion, representing every reasonable view, it’s also, in some sense, moderate
