Welcome to “Cash Poor Points Rich”, a new travel blog dedicated to sharing experiences with credit
card points and miles to help you get big travel, but for small the right planning and
maximization of available resources, traveling as a college student may be easier than you think.
Chengdu,China
If visiting a place with happy locals is a priority for you, there’s no better city to hit than Chengdu. It
is home to pandas and spicy things. Moreover, the city’s abundance of cultural and historical sights,
together with its laid back lifestyle, make Chengdu one of the most attractive and livable large cities
too. Past travelers have spent, on average,¥157 on meals and ¥43 on local transportation for one day.
Con Dao Island, Vietnam
Tourism is picking up in Vietnam lately, where you can travel for about ¥100 per day if you play
your cards right. Con Dao Island Nation Park, a group of dramatic tiny islands off the southern coast,
is a great destination to see sea turtles and other wildlife while exploring the area on foot. Its thick
jungle will give you a good chance to uncover a paradise(
天堂
) of your own.
Zakynthos Island, Greece
If you’re looking for an affordable European summer beach vacation, consider Zakynthos Island.

During the 20th century, an estimated 3 million great whales were hunted to provide humans with
oil, meat and rose fertiliser. Roger Payne, a biologist and environmentalist, spurred (
推动
) a
worldwide environmental conservation movement with his discovery that whales could sing.
This discovery was made in 1967 during his research trip to Bermuda (
百慕大
) when a navy
engineer provided him with a recording of curious underwater sounds documented. Payne identified
the tones as songs whales sing to one another and he was conscious from the start that whale song
was to get the public interested in protecting an animal previously considered little more than a
resource, curiosity or nuisance.
Payne saw the discovery of whale song as a chance to spur interest in saving the giant animals, who
were disappearing from the planet. In 1970, Payne released the album Songs of the Humpback
Whale. The record, a surprise hit, fueled a global movement to end the practice of commercial whale
hunting and save the whales from extinction. It remains the bestselling environmental album in
history.
The impact of the whale song discovery on the early environmental movement was immense. Many
antiwar protesters of the day took on saving animals and the environment as a new cause. The
humpback whale became the icon of a new environmental awareness. And the whales entered pop
culture, no longer the fearsome beasts. In 1977, the whale calls were loaded on to the Voyager
probes and sent into outer space.
Payne, graduating from Harvard University and Cornell University with a doctor’s degree, authored
or co authored dozens of scientific papers, gave hundreds of lectures, made countless television
programmes and films, and led 100 oceanic expeditions. Payne had started an ambitious new project:
CETI, a combination of scientists using new technology to interpret what whales might be “saying”.

You’re passed over for a job. Your back aches. Faced with difficulties large and small,you wonder if
you’re an unlucky person. We turned to experts to understand why we believe in luck and how we
can have that belief to make changes in our attitude towards life.
Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor, doesn’t believe there’s anything magical about luck—it
won’t help you or hurt you.“On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of
seeing yourself, which has an impact on how you behave and how you think, and becomes a self-
fulfilling anticipation,”he says.“So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.”
The sociology lecturer Vik Loveday interviewed academic employees who were on temporary
contracts, an uncertain situation that caused anxiety. In general, when one of these academics
learned about good news concerning their careers, such as getting a permanent job, they would
attribute it to luck. Because they felt they had so little control,a move in a positive direction
happened almost by accident, rather than as the result of hard work.
In a 2021 study, Professor Woolley has looked at this idea in children and example,
basketball player Michael Jordan would wear his college practice shorts under his National
Basketball Association uniform for good/luck.“Obviously, it’s that the superstitious (
迷信的
)custom
gives him confidence and then he plays better,”Woolley says.
Is it possible to change your attitude towards luck to get better outcomes? Wiseman believes some
steps can improve your luck. He has found”lucky people not only maximize opportunities and know
where they’re heading, but often they change course depending on how the wind is going“. Lucky
people can also transform bad experiences to good. Specifically, you can shift your focus towards
the positive by keeping a ”luck diary“. Also don’t be a creature of habit. Watch a different TV
program, speak to different people—even small shifts can be effective.
8. What does Wiseman say about luck in paragraph 2?
A
．
It might be wise to try one’s luck.
B
．
Luck is a magical force to control us.
C
．
The belief in luck influences our behavior.
D
．
People’s well-being is determined by luck.
9. What is the example of Jordan’s lucky shorts used for?
A
．
Confirming Loveday’s study.
B
．
Showing luck exists in real life.
C
．
Disapproving Woolley’s research.
D
．
Comparing different lucks in sports.
10. How can we improve our luck according to the last paragraph?
A
．
Getting into a routine.
B
．
Sticking to a goal firmly.
C
．
Setting down terrible things.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A
．
Less Anxiety, More Luck
B
．
Good or Bad Luck? Up to You
C
．
One Can Stay Lucky Through Life
D
．
Genius—the Mother of Good Luck
The steam engine, electric lighting, refrigeration. If you’re wondering what these things have in
common, they’re examples of transformative technologies that lifted worker productivity. Does
generative AI belong on that list?
Hardly a day passes without some news of the great things that so-called large language models
(LLMs) can do — from writing academic papers to designing buildings — along with projections on
how many jobs will be wiped out as companies figure out ways to apply the new technology. But
economists are divided on whether the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard have the
potential to jump-start productivity growth worldwide.
Researchers in a consulting firm project AI will deliver $4.4 trillion in economic benefits annually to
the global economy, equal to 4.4% of global output in 2022 Harvard professor Neeley likens the
birth of generative AI to the arrival of the Internet. “It is exactly that moment we are facing again —
that vital moment that forever changes how we work, how we interact with one another, how we
think, how we produce. We are at that moment again.”
There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical, though. Robert Gordon, a professor at Northwestern
University and author of The Rise and Fall of American Growth, argues that the Internet and AI
haven’t been as revolutionary as what economists call general-purpose technologies, such as
electricity.
Worries about AI replacing workers have been at the center of a labor dispute in Hollywood writers
and actors. A survey by Microsoft found that 49% of the people say they’re worried AI will replace
their jobs.
On the flip side, blue collar workers could benefit. “It won’t change blue-collar work, but it will
change who can get out of blue collar work and get into better jobs,” an economic historian at
Cornell University says. “We are living through one of those turning points in human history.”
12. Why does the author mention OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard?
A
．
To introduce a debate.
C
．
To make a prediction.
B
．
To define a concept.
D
．
To explain a technology.
D
．
Making changes flexibly.
13. What does the underlined word “likens” mean in paragraph 3?
A
．
Contributes. B
．
Attaches. C
．
Compares. D
．
Changes.
14. What can we know about Robert Gordon?
A
．
He is in favor of AI.
C
．
He is an economist and author.
B
．
He acts as an electricity professor.
D
．
He suspects AI’s revolutionary role.
15. What does the economic historian think about blue collar work in the AI-era?
A
．
Doubtful.
In order to survive in the world with challenges, we need to be wise. 16 Let me tell you this,
wisdom provides us with perspective when we need it and it calms us down in terrible situations.
Here are some strategies that we can use to get wiser.
17 This will open up new pathways for us. Never base your perspective on the most popular
opinion or which is the most comfortable for you. Train your mind to be a judgment-free space for
ideas. If you are humble, then you will always get to experience something new.
You must be the kind of person who learns something new every day. Take new classes, read books
and the list goes on and on. 18 All of these activities will help you to tackle problems from
different angles, making everything easier.
You obviously want to grow and do better in life, right? The best way is to have wise people as your
mentors (
导师
), like teachers, colleagues and even special friends. Prior to making them a mentor,
find out what makes them wiser, then engage in useful dialogue with them. 19
If you have accumulated a lot of knowledge, then why not share it with others too? 20 In today’s
world, it is very easy to become wise but it isn’t easy to help others. So keep things balanced and
never let go of your passions and values. This will pave the path to success.
A
．
Why do we communicate with wise people?
B
．
Why is wisdom crucial in this modern world?
C
．
Change your routine and see where life takes you.
D
．
Surf the Internet and clear out your problems that confuse you.
E
．
Sometimes we ourselves need to be open to diverse perspectives.
F
．
The more time is spent with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be.
G
．
Communicating with others and helping them out will also increase your wisdom.
