Animals have the unique ability to be more social.For example,visitors to nursing homes get more social responses from patients when they come with animal companions.The iPhone X,Apple’s new smartphone,is equipped with facial recognition.31______,its scanner can unlock the system.It requires no buttons to be pressed,being always ready to read your face.Android users can expect similar32______as well.For the millions of people who will soon depend on facial recognition to check their email,send a text or make a call,it will be quick,easy and pretty “cool”to use.However,as we grow33______to the technology,we cannot become numb to the problems that come with it.Facial recognition is already used everywhere.In China,police use the technology to identify people who jaywalk(乱穿马路).In the United State, more than half of all adults are in a facial recognition database that can be used for criminal ernments,however,are not the only users of facial recognition.Retailers use the technology in their stores to identify 34______shoplifters.One social media app in Russia allows strangers to find out who you are just by taking a photo of you.However,different users of facial recognition produce different levels of accuracy.Camera distance,lighting,facial pose all affect the accuracy.

Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the45___of flow in the1970’s,it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research.Flow states can happen in the course of any activity,and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n)46___skill level,and where the individual is able to47___their performance to clear and immediate feedback.Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most48___entered into flow states had an“autotelic personality(自带目的性人格)”—a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow.While those without such a personality see difficulties,autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills.Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges.They are also49___and have low levels of self-centeredness.Such people,with their capacity for“disinterested interest”have a great advantage over others in developing their innate abilities.Fortunately for those of us who aren’t51___blessed with an autotelic personality,there is evidence that flow states can be52___by environmental factors.53___,the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states.While there isn’t(yet)a pill that can turn mundane practice into a thrilling activity for anyone,it is heartening that we seem,at least to some54___,to be able to nudge ourselves toward flow states.By giving ourselves unstructured,open-ended time,minimal55___,and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty,we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing.41.A.inquiresB.requiresC.acquiresD.gains42.A.preventableB.maintainableC.sustainableD.critical43.A.frustratingB.encouragingC.concerningD.instructing44.A.improvedB.indicatedC.involvedD.inspired45.A.conceptB.receiptC.receptionD.condition46.A.alternativeB.appropriateC.approximateD.sufficient47.A.makeB.adoptC.adaptD.adjust48.A.fullyB.reallyC.readilyD.accidentally49.A.generousB.persistentC.courageousD.resistant50.A.addictB.advanceC.advantageD.admire51.A.necessarilyB.obviouslyC.graduallyD.occasionally52.A.forbiddenB.functionedC.fastenedD.facilitated53.A.In particularB.For exampleC.In conclusionD.In comparison54.A.intentionB.extentC.purposeD.intent55.A.temptationB.charmingC.attractionsD.distractions。
