阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出正确的一项。

    Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel (化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.

    To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles(EVs 电动车). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.

    Last year, over 40% of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States. "Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas is more expensive than charging an electric car," said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year

    However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles(充电桩) and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged. Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167,000 charging piles in total.

    Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop the increase in the emission (排放) of Coz by 2030.

    "As China goes, so will the worlds car industry," The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

    When you're closing your eyes and hitting your pillow, you're probably not giving much thought about the sleeping position throughout the night. Most people don't change their sleeping positions throughout their lives. The following is why you might want to pay more attention: Your sleeping position can actually say a bit about who you are and what your personality is like.

    There are many sleeping positions. The fetal (胎儿的) sleeping position is generally the most common sleeping position. Fetal sleepers sleep on their side, they move into a position in which their body makes a rounded shape. People who sleep in the fetal position are often quite sensitive and generally shy. They are often worried or nervous and don't focus their attention on the main problem, but get into trouble on very small pieces of information.

    The log (木头) sleeper rests on the side with a straight body when hands and legs are kept at the sides. These sleepers are often relaxed, but also can easily believe lie-tellers. If you're a log sleeper, you might want to keep in mind that it's good to be easy-going and have less stress, but don't be so quick to go with the flow (流) at all times.

    The third one is the soldier position. Soldier sleepers typically lie on their backs with both arms close to their sides. In general, they are the strong and silent type. However, they can also put the pressure on. "They can be quite strict with themselves as well as others," a scientist added.

Some experts say that robots will take away human jobs with the rapid development of AI. A March 2023 report from Goldman Sachs showed that AI could do a quarter of the work done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the report further notes that 300 million jobs could be lost to automation (自动化).

Thankfully, it's not all bad news. The experts also add that there are still things AI cannot do. These tasks have clear human qualities, like emotional intelligence and creative thinking.

"I think there are generally three kinds of jobs that are going to be safe," says Martin Ford, writer of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything. "The first would be jobs that are creative enough to come up with new ideas and build something new."

The second is jobs that require complicated (复杂的) interpersonal relationships. Ford points to nurses, businessmen and reporters. "These are jobs," he says, "where you need a very deep understanding of people. I think it'll be a long time before AI has the ability to interact (交流) in the kinds of ways that really build relationships."

"The third safe one," says Ford, "is jobs that really require lots of mobility (机动性) and dexterity (灵活性) and problem-solving ability in unpredictable environments. These are the kinds of jobs where you're dealing with a new situation all the time, so they are probably the hardest of anything to automate."

"It's important to note," says Ford, "that a higher education or a high-paying position is not a protection against AI takeover. In short, looking for roles in changing environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to stop jobs from being taken by AI. At least, for a while."

The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China when people light lanterns, set off fireworks, eat yuanxiao and enjoy family time. But do you know how this festival started?

In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dongfang Shuo who worked for the Emperor Wu of Han. One day, Dongfang met a crying maid(哭泣的宫女) named Yuanxiao in the emperor's garden. He asked her what happened. And the maid said she was sad because she couldn't see her family.

Dongfang promised to help Yuanxiao. He left the garden and went to the street. He started telling people that a big fire would happen on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It was the order of the Jade Emperor. Word spread quickly and people in the city were scared.

The Emperor Wu of Han heard of it and asked Dongfang for advice. Dongfang advised him to let Yuanxiao make glutinous rice(糯米) balls for the God of Fire to make him happy. He also advised everyone in the city to put up red lanterns and set off fireworks to create an illusion that the city was on fire. Seeing this, the Jade Emperor would not set fire.

On the special day, the city was full of people and lanterns Yuanxiao's parents were able to meet up with their daughter in the crowd. The city was safe, and the Emperor Wu of Han was happy. He ordered that every year on this day, people should make glutinous rice balls and hang lanterns.

From then on, the 15th day of the first lunar month has been called the Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Jie. Since Yuanxiao cooked the best glutinous rice balls, people call the food yuanxiao or tangyuan.

Are you an"I"person or an"E"person?People have talked about it a lot online these days. The ideas come from a popular personality(性格) test called MBTI. They test the personality in eight ways. Each way uses a letter to show the meaning. After the test each person will get a four﹣letter result to show the personality. In all, there are sixteen kinds of personality in the test. 

Why do people want to take the MBTI test?Here are the survey results from three people by Life Week magazine. 

"People want to learn about themselves and others, "Guo Yongyu, an expert said. "When they know themselves and others better

Gao Yanyi, a middle school student from Shanxi, thinks that the MBTI test can help her find friends with similar MBTI results. She adds

Ma Ruina, from Beijing No. 4 Middle school, took the test once. He doesn't want to use it in his life again. It made him feel like it's limiting(限制), "everyone is different, and it's not right to put people into simple groups. "He says. 

The MBTI personality test may show something you don't know about yourself and can even be a fun ice﹣breaking question when meeting new friends. But that's all it is —for fun. Knowing other's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person. And those four letters of yours don't decide who you are.
