Researchers found that parents and toddlers who read paper books together, speak and interact more when
compared with those who read e-books. Reading with a child is a hugely important developmental activity. It helps
youngsters learn new words. It will broaden their knowledge. It also provides time to bond with loved ones. So, scientists
wanted to see if parents and children acted differently when they read books together using traditional media versus
electronic devices like tablets.

The researchers recruited 37 pairs of parents and healthy toddlers between two and three years old. They asked
them to read from three different types of media. These were enhanced electronic books with sound effects or animation,
a basic electronic book, and a print book.

Researchers found parents and toddlers spoke more when interacting with a paper book rather than a story on an
electronic tablet. Parents used richer language when using print books compared with tablets. They collaborated more
with their children. But when reading e-books, parents were less responsive. Children were less engaged with their
parents.

Fast food is widely known in populated countries. Now, fast food has become part of urban people's life because it
offers a delicious quick-meal at a small price. However, consuming fast food such as hot dog, hamburger, fried chicken,
soft drink, and many others may frequently cause several bad impacts on your health.

In many countries, dieticians often emphasize the dangers of consuming too much fast food. Fast food is high in
calories but they come from unhealthy fat and added sugars. Therefore, the food provides few nutrients. The imbalanced
content from this kind of food may trigger various diseases. Obesity is one of the most possible impacts of consuming too
much fast food. Besides, it can also increase the risk of hypertension, heart attack, as well as diabetes.

A study showed that children who consumed a lot of fast food had lower IQ than children who ate less fast food.
Although the difference was subtle, the study proved that fast food that children consumed at the age between 6 and 24
months gave a small but significant effect on their IQ when they reached 8 years old.

In addition, most fast food meals have artificial additives and sweeteners to maintain their texture consistency, to
give them longer shelf-life, and also to enhance the flavor. These substances contribute to the good taste of fast food.

(1) Pregnant women should also avoid eating fast food. (2) Eating such fast food is not only bad for the mother
herself but also for the baby. (3) The baby will be so vulnerable to hypertension and diabetes. (4) Therefore, we should
consult a doctor before consuming fast food. (5) The cause is the preservatives in the fast food that are harmful to both
mother and her baby. (6) Moreover, a number of studies in China have found that the rate of breast cancer among women
has then risen due to the consumption of fast food.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly entering health care and serving major roles. These include automating routine
tasks in medical practice and managing medical resources. As developers create AI systems to take on these tasks, several
risks and challenges emerge.

The most obvious risk is that the AI systems will sometimes be wrong. This can result in patient injury or other
health-care problems. An AI system possibly recommends the wrong drug for a patient or fails to notice a tumor on a
radiological scan. Of course, many injuries occur due to medical error in the health-care system today, even without the
involvement of AI. AI errors are potentially different for at least two reasons. First, patients and providers may react
differently to injuries resulting from software than from human error. Second, if AI systems become widespread, an
underlying problem in one AI system might result in injuries to thousands of patients.

Moreover, training AI systems require large amounts of data from sources. However, health data are often
problematic. Data are typically fragmented across many different systems. Even aside from the variety just mentioned,
patients typically see different providers and switch insurance companies. This would lead to data split in multiple systems
and multiple formats.

Another set of risks arises around privacy. The requirement of large datasets creates incentives for developers to
collect such data from many patients. Some patients may be concerned that this collection may violate their privacy. In
fact, lawsuits have been filed based on data-sharing between large health systems and AI developers.

No. 10
The integration of AI into the health system will undoubtedly change the role of health-care providers. A hopeful
vision is that providers will be enabled to provide more personalized and better care, freed to spend more time interacting
with patients as humans. A less hopeful vision would see providers struggling to weather monsoon of uninterpretable
predictions and recommendations from competing algorithms. In either case, medical education will need to prepare
providers to evaluate and interpret the AI systems they will encounter in the evolving health-care environment.
Which of the following is NOT correct according to the passage?

A. The application of AI can further complicate the already problematic health-care system.
B. A faulty AI system may make mistakes or be inaccurate.
C. Patient injuries are commonly caused by AI systems.
D. AI systems are not free of errors, possibly causing health-care issues.
E. Injuries due to human error are usually responded in a more similar way between patients and providers.

algorithms.
B. There is a strong possibility that algorithms will support each other, yielding guesses and suggestions that are hardly
understood by providers.

algorithms.
D. A more pessimistic view on AI in health care is rooted in conflicting algorithms which cause predictions and
suggestions impossible to deduce by providers.
E. A new season would come and bring in more challenges for providers which fail to infer projections and
recommendations from competing algorithms.

“PCs” refer to K-pop photocards, also known as pcs and pocas in K-pop merchandise spaces (1). While well-
designed K-pop albums are considered collectibles in themselves and the reason fans are known to be big spenders when
it comes to merchandise, the photocard is one of the most popular K-pop merch items to collect (2). These special cards
typically have unreleased selfies or pictures of K-pop group members printed on them and are inserted into merchandise
packages (3).

Photocards are inserted at random into otherwise uniform album packages and other merchandise, so buyers
never know what they’re going to get. Their inclusion in albums is seen by many as a strategy employed by K-pop
companies to sell more copies, thus helping the artist chart higher (4). South Korea is one of the only music markets in the
world where physical CD sales are on the rise.

Similar to how an NBA card collector buys multiple packs of cards hoping to find the one they want, K-pop fans get
a thrill from buying multiple copies of the same album for the chance to “pull” their favorite member’s photo. This, of
course, can be a bit much, so they turn to other ways like trading and buying photocards from other fans to complete their
collections (5).

D. (4)
