But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wifenot the husband becomes seriously ill. “Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce.” said researched Amelia Karraker. Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50. The researchers examined how the onset (发生）of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic (慢性的）iilrifcs onset increased over time as well，with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems. “We found that women are doubly weak when their marriage breaks up in the face of ill ness,M Karraker said. “Theyre more likely to be widowed, and if theyre the ones who become ill, theyre more likely to get divorced.” While the study didnt assess why divorce is more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender roles and social expectations about caregiving may make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses.” Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among potential partners than divorced women.” Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population，Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce. “Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce martial stress and prevent divorce at older ages.” she said. “But its also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.58. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?A. They can help couples get through hard times.B. They are not taken seriously any more.C. They are as binding as they used to be.D. They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.59. what did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?A. They can develop different kinds of illness just like their wives.B. They are more likely to get serious illness than their wives.C. They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.D. They are more likely to be divorced in the face of illness.60.Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?A. They think it more urgent to take on their social role.B. They find it much easier to find another partner.C. They are more accustomed to receiving care.D. They expect society to do more of the job.C The new social robots, including Jibo, Cozmo. Kuri and Meccano M_A.X. bear some similarities to assistants like Apples Siri. but these robots come with something more. They are designed toas over not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions thatdo more that talk to us. Time magazine cheered for the robots that “could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines” But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing, especially for children? Some researchers in favor of the robots dont see a problem with this. People have relationships with many kinds of things. Some say robots are jus. another thing with which we can have relationships. To support their argument, roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate (赋予生命）doNs and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one. Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. Todays robots tell children that they have emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance. Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with.Boris Sofman the chief executive of Anki, the company behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to create“ a deeper and deeper emotional connection . And if you neglect him, you feel the pain of that.”hat is the point of this, exactly? What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesnt even know it isneglecting you? This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to understand how children feel. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot put themselves in our place. No matter what robotic creatures “say”, they dont understand our emotional lives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment. They have not been born, they dont know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love. What is also troubling is that children take robots behavior to indicate feelings. When The robots interact with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and when robots dont work when needed, children also take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their(自尊).In one study, an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better. For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care. Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that “feel”.61. How are the new social robots different from Siri?A. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.B. Their main function is to evaluate childrens personality.C. They are designed to attract people with their smarts.D. They are intended to teach children how to talk.62. In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots .A. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of childrenB. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beingsC. are unable to build a real relationship with childrenD. are deeply connected with human beings63. The underlined phrase *essential equipment” in Paragraph 4 refers to .A.fearB.painC. emotionD.thinking64. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?D The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year， and siartups (初创公司）want in on the action. What they sometimes lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products. So Brookdale, the countrys largest owner of retirement communication, has been inviting a f
