Mobile phoneshave changed theway we live,how we read,work,communicate,and shop.But wealready knowthis.What we have not yet understood is the way the tiny machines in front of us are changing our skeletons possibly alteringnotjust the way we behave but even the very shapeof our bodies.
Newscientific research at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland,Australia,suggest that young people are developing extra pices of bone at the backs of heir heads.These pieces of bone are caused by the way people bend their heads when they use the phone.This shifts weight ontothe muscles at the back of the head andcauses thebonetogrow in a way that is not normal.This process can be compared to the way the skin hardens in responsetoconstant rubbing or pressure.Theresult is a picceof bone like ahomthat sticks out from the head by the neck.

Passage One
Artificial intelligence agentsplayever more influentialroles in our lives.They do everything from suggesting new friendstorecommendingpurchases.They're even beginning to driveourcars.Another rolethatthey are expected to take over is negotiating on our behalf in commercial transactions or legal disputes.So,it's important to know whether using an artificial intelligence agent might affect how we negotiate.Research indicates that it does.In a new study,participants were told to imagine that they were negotiatingfor something important to them,like a house.Next, they weretold eitherthat theywould negotiate forthemselves,or theywouldprogram an artificial intlligenceagent to negotiate for them.Participantsthen completed a survey indicating how tough,deceptive andpleasant or otherwise they wanted tobe,orwanted their agentto be,in the negotiations.For example,participants could choose to be tough by making an opening demand far greater than what they'd be willing to accept.They could also choose to express sympathy with their opponent to appear pleasant.But they could also indicate that they—or their agent—would strategically express anger toward the opponent to gain advantage,or they could opt to convey dissatisfactionwith the encounterso that theother party would think they were losing interest.These are both examples of deceptive strategies.
Participants were more willing to employdeceptive strategies when assignedan agent to negotiate on their behalf.
16.What does the passage say about artificial intelligence agents?
17.Whatdoes the new study want to find out about using an artificial intelligence agent?
18.What did participants tend to do when asigned an AI agent to negotiate on their behalf?
PassageTwo
New research has studied the effects of a seven-week healthy cookingcourse.Academics measured the program's effect on cooking confidence and self-perceived mental health.Researchers also measured participants'overall satisfaction around cooking and diet-related behaviors.
What were the findings?Course participants saw significant improvements in generalhealth.They also reported improved mental health and subjective vitaliy immediately after the program.These benefits remained six months after the completion of the course.
What caused these improvements?Researchers havepreviously found a link between eating more fruits and vegetables,and improved longer term mental health.Thiswould implythatthe participants in the current study may have felt better due to improved diet.
However,the study showed participants'mental healthimproved even if their reported diet did not change after completing the program.Also,the mental health benefits were equal among participants who were overweight or obese, and those in a healthy weight range.This suggests a link between cooking confidence and satisfaction around cooking,and mental health benefits.
Who benefits most from learning to cook?Gender plays a part.At the start of the program,77per cent of female participants were confidentabout cooking,but just 23 per cent of males were confident.At the end of the program,cokingconfidence and skills were equal acros both counterparts.This change inconfidencecould lead to a gender balance in home cooking.This in turn couldreduce consumption of unhealthy,high-calorie processed meals.
19.What do we learn about the benefits the participants gained from the healthy cooking course?
20.What do the new research findings suggest about mentalhealth benefits?
21.What plays a rolein determining who benefts most from learning to cook?
Passage Three
What is personal space?We often think of it as an invisible bubble of space surrounding us that others can't enter,without causing discomfort.Research shows,however,that we actually have bubbles of different sizes.Each of these bubbles applies to a differen set of people.
The smallest zone,called “intimate space”,extends outward from our bodies 18 inches in every direction. Only family,pets and one's closest friends may enter it.Amere acquaintance entering our intimate space makes usuncomfortable.Next is the bubble called"personal space",extending from 1.5 feet to 4 feet away Friends and acquaintances can comfortably occupy this zone,especially during informal conversations,but strangers are forbidden. Extending from 4 to 12 feet away from us is"social space".Here people feel comfortable conducting routine social interactions with new acquaintances or total strangers.
Those are the average sizes of American'spersonalbubbles,anyway.It is important to keep in mind that persona space varies dependingon culture and context.Furthermore,there are significant individual differences.As we all know,cultural or individual differences in personal bubble diameters areall too often the cause of discomfort.How did these personal bubbles arise?According to research,we begin to develop ou individual sense ofpersonal space around age3 or 4.The sizes of our bubbles are fixedby our teens.These bubbles are constructed and monitored bythe brain regioninvolved in fear.
22.What does research show about our personal space?
23. What happens if a mere acquaintance enters our intimate space?
24.Where do people feel comfortable interacting with new aequaintanees or strangers?
25.When are the sizes of our bubbles fixed?
