Something seemed different that day when I entered Donna’s fourth-grade classroom.

Each of the students was writing on a piece of paper,   41   things they couldn’t do.

The activity aroused (引起) my   42  , so I decided to check with Donna to see what was going on. As I   43   her, I noticed that she too was busy writing.

“I can’t get John’s mother to come for a teacher conference.”

“I can’t persuade Alan to use words   44   fists (拳头).”

I was at a total loss   45   students and teacher were focused on the negative rather than the more   46   “I can” statements.

Ten minutes later, students were asked to fold their papers in half and placed them into an empty   47  .

When all of the student papers were   48  , Donna added hers. She then put the box under her arm,   49   a shovel (铁铲) and headed out with all the students   50   her. They stopped at the farthest comer of the playground, where Donna began to   51  . The digging took over ten minutes because every student wanted a   52  . They were going to   53   their “I Can’ts”! When the hole was ready, they placed the box of “I Can’ts” at the   54   and covered it with dirt. After that, Donna announced:

“Boys and girls, please join hands and bow your heads.” So they did. Then Donna continued, “As we see, ‘I can’t’ is   55   today, but he is   56   by his brothers and sisters: ‘I Can’, ‘I will’ and ‘I’m Going to Right Away’. From today on, whenever you want to say ‘I can’t’, please think of today’s   57  . May everyone pick up their lives and move forward in the   58   of ‘I can’t’.”

I realized the students would never forget that day. The activity was   59  . It was an experience that would   60   in their mind forever.

When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said：“Not Bob Dylan. That’s for sure.”

But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.

Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.

In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".

Dylan’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is mast famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone. For the times they are a-changin！”

There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments - and it s the same way with Dylan ",the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.

It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.

32. Dylan found folk music attractive because___________•

A.     it brought joy to people

B. Most of his influential works were created in the 1960s.

C .His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.

D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.

 34. According to the last two paragraphs, ______________.

A .lyrics can be seen as a literary form

B. a literary prize should not be given to a singer

C. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poets

D .Dylan deserves the award because he influenced many songwriters

AI is making applying for Jobs even more miserable

Job interviews are rarely fun, especially when you young. I will never forget the opening question in my first interview for the Financial Times graduate trainee scheme: “So, apart from the week before your interview, do you ever actually read the FT?”

Young people today face a different but no less intimidating challenge. They find themselves smiling anxiously into their laptop webcams( 摄像头 ), answering question as a time ticks down with no human to interact with at all

Large employers are using these “asynchronous( 非共时的 )video interviews”(AVIs)to cut down job applicants to a smaller number they can meet in person. Platforms such as Hire Vue and Modern Hire record applicants answering pre-determined questions, usually with a time limit for each answer. In some cases, the recordings will be watched by the employer's hiring managers. In others, the platform's algorithms( 算法 )will assess the candidate based on what they said or even their facial expressions.

AVIs are increasingly common. These interviews can be done cheaply and at scale: one grocery chain in the US was gathering as many as 15,000 per day during the pandemic, according to Hire Vue. The platforms say the process is fairer and less biased than human recruiters, leading to better and more diverse candidates making the cut.

But employers need to pay more attention to how the process affects prospective employees. Researchers at the University of Sussex Business School, in association with the Institute for Employment Studies, have warned that young job-seekers feel confused, de-humanised and exhausted by automated recruitment systems.

Jimeet Romen Shah, who is in his final year at the University of Sussex, has done seven or so AVIs in the past two years. He tries to “make eye contact” with the camera but finds it hard not to watch his own face on the screen. He worries that if he glances down or up it will look like he is reading notes. “It does feel robotic,” he says. In most cases, he wasn't able to review the videos and wasn't told if a human or a machine would judge him. He has never received detailed feedback after a rejection.

After all, an interview is a company's first real interaction with prospective employees, some of whom it will want to hire. It should be a chance for both sides to learn about each other.
