In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It ____55____ a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.
For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, ____56____ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The ____57____ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world ____58____, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.” How long will it be until someone ____59____ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?
Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so ____60____ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.

The Last Robot-Proof Job in America?
You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from overseas.

and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped ____62____, rather than frozen, thanks to an Amazon advanced logistics system. Mike Spindler, the company’s C.E.O., said recently, “I can get a fish to Warren Buffett, that’s as fresh as if he’d walked down to the pier (码头) and bought it that morning.”
There is one thing, ____63____, that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to ____64____ that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. According to the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is ____65____. For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and ____66____ knowledge that, so far, computers have yet to replicate.
“____67____ the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history,” Spindler told me. He is experienced in the ____68____ business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. “They thought selling fish on the Internet was ____69____.” DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers (鱼贩). “They didn’t see how it could possibly work.” Five years ago, DiGregorio didn’t know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they’ve created a human-machine fish-buying operation.
By I a.m. each night, the company ____70____ from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market, carrying his tablet computer. The company’s algorithms (算法) ____71____ data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example, which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a “learning system,” so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn’t ____72____, it asks, “Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?” All that information is fed back in for next time.
Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can’t? DeGregorio showed me his part of the ____73____ process. “I’m assessing a few things,” he said. First,____74____. Fish should have “nice” slime (粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “When fish goes bad, it smells like ammonia.” Besides, to get the best stuff, “Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you.” He added.
Is he never ____75____ being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. “By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do,” he said, “I’ll be dead.” A. maintain B. remedy C. substitute D. recognize A. free B. overseas C. separate D. fresh A. therefore B. otherwise C. however D. thus A. ensure B. propose C. concede D. remind A. overpriced B. misidentified C. displaced D. modified А. computer B. cuisine C. fish D. marketing A.

For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a certain, I just say, “No thanks, I’m amusic,””says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”
76. Which of the following is true of amusics?
A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them. B. They love places where they are likely to hear music. C. They can easily tell who different songs apart. D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.
77. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who________. A. dislikes listening to speeches B. can hear anything nonmusical C. Has a hearing problem D. lacks a complex hearing system 78. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that________. A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier B. she were seventeen years old rather than seventy C. her problem could be easily explained D. she were able to meet other amusics
79. What is the passage mainly concerned with? A. Amusics’ strange behaviors B. some people’s inability to enjoy music. C. Musical talent and brain structure D. Identification and treatment of amusics.
