rd liketothinkI'm a fairlymodern guy. I use a smartwatch,order groceries online, and can evenpark using my car's sensors. So, when my 15-year-olddaughter,Emma,declaredmywardrobea""disaster zone" and offered a “digital makeover/51 foolishly agreed.
It started with a simple app. Emma took photos of all my clothes, and the app promised the perfectdaily outfit based on the weather, my calendar, and a color-matching algorithm （算法）.I wasimpressed.Forthefirstweek,itwasagame-changer."WeartheblueshirtwiththegreytrousersJtheappwould
command, and I'd stride into the office feeling like a fashion icon.
Trouble begansubtly. The app, perhaps influenced by Emma5s own tastes, started suggesting itemsrd forgotten-a pair of bright orangeshortsI'dboughtforaholidaytenyearsago.WhenIignoredit, the app lowered my“stylescore”,meaninglessbutfrustrating.Then,theweatherupdatefoiled,insisting snow in July and telling me to wear my heaviestcoat.My colleaguesthoughtI hadlostmymind. I tried to override the app, but Emma had locked me out of "ExpertMode.”
Feeling defeated, I confessed to my wife. She laughed and reminded me of something I'd forgotten:I don't have a style score; I have a mirror. I don't have an algorithm for rain; I have a weather app onmy phone. And most importantly, I don't need adigitalEmma;Ihavearealone,andheropinionmatters far more than anyapp's.
So, I uninstalledtheapp. Mywardrobeis backtoitsold,familiarchaos. And it feelsjust right.The only opinion that still counts is the one Ihearfromthehallwayeverymorning:"Dad,you'rewearing that?”
24.How did the author find the app's first-weeksuggestions?
A. Confusing and risky. C. Practical and creative. | B. Helpful andexciting. D. Complex andcostly. |
25.Why does the author mention the shorts and the coat in paragraph3?
A. To show the app's absurd advice. C. To explain his need for style score. 26.How does the author's wife view the app? A. It needs improvement badly. C. It makes unreliable predictions. | B. To prove the app learned hishabits. D. To suggest the app was hard touse. B. It replaces human judgement. D. It serves as a reference at best. |
27.What message is conveyed in thetext? A. Digital tools can ruin our daily style. C. Real-life connections beat digital advice. | B. Teenagers know more about technology. D. Wardrobes should not be managed by apps. |

Beforefull sentences,human language may have relied on just two words at a time. According tonew research publishedin PNAS Nexus, the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairingslike “catch fish" or "throw spear.There were notensemarkers,noclearsubjectsorobjects,justaconcise way to express action.Thatsimplestructurewasenoughforearlyhumans,forwhomspeedand clarity mattered more thanprecision.
Traces of this early systemstillexisttoday.Linguistscallthem“livingfdssils”-wordslike “killjoy； "pickpocket J and "crybaby" combine a verb and a noun into a single compound word.

Similar constructions appear across languages,showingtheyarenotmereaccidentsbutechoes of an early way of buildingmeaning.
These early combinations extended far beyond mereactiondescriptions;theyexpandedwhatlanguage could do. By pairing concrete words, people could express abstract ideas.

Nearlyhalf of Americansand around 40% of Britons now use smartwatches,smart rings, or phoneapps to track their sleep. But are these devices accurate? And do theyactuallyhelp?Anewstudypublished inNaturefoundaU-shapedrelationshipbetweensleepdurationandbiologicalageing,which provides a standard to judge whether the sleep-tracking tools work properly.Usingdatafromroughly 500,000 people, researchers discovered thatthosewhosleptbetween6.4and7.8hourspernight showed slower ageing than those who slept either more orless.
Sleep trackers promise to help users hit this sweet spot. Most trackers distinguish sleep fromwakefulnessfairlywell.Severalstudieshavecomparedthemtopolysomnography(多导睡眠监测)一the gold standard that uses monitors to record eyemovements,brainactivityandheartrate.A2024paper found that three popularwearablesagreedwithpolysomnographyabout95%ofthetimeintelling sleep fromwakefulness.

Yet many devices still include these inaccurate readings in their sleepscores.
Despite trackers5 shortcomings, most sleep researchers view thempositively.Theysaythedevices give them a better, more objective sense of how long they slept.Plus, they do seem to improve sleephabits. In a survey by the American AcademyofSleepMedicine55%ofadultswhoreportedusingsleep trackers said they had changed their behaviour after learning from the data.Onesmallstudy,published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine in 2020, found that wearing a sleep tracker fbra
