A new coffee shop in New York lets its customers help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in every cup! This is the first coffee shop by Cafe Joyeux, which is based in Europe. They hi re individuals with IDD, providing valuable training and employment opportunities and empowering them along the way.
Café Joyeux was founded in France in response to the alarming fact that over 8 million people with IDD face an 80% unemployment rate. The coffee shop aims to fight against this inequality by not only providing inclusive employment but also leading the way in promoting workplace inclusion more broadly.
The story started on a sailing boat in Brittany, France, where Captain Yann Bucaille-Lanzerac, a successful businessman, shared his passion for sailing with passengers of all abilities. During a trip, Theo, a young man with IDD, asked Yann for a job. Yann hesitated, saying it was complicated, leaving Theo silent. This encounter led to the creation of Café Joyeux, employing and training people with mental and cognitive (认知的) disabilities, which has since expanded to over 19 locations across Europe.
In early 2024, the first American Cafe Joyeux opened in New York City. Bucaille-Lannezac and his wife, Lydwine Bucaille, founders of Café Joyeux, employed 169 team members with disabilities. They believed their employees could provide excellent products and services, and stressed the significance of equal rights and fair treatment in the workplace. They started by empowering their employees and reinvesting 100% of their profits to further this mission, both within and outside their cafés.
Early supporters, like Giovana Mullins, have praised the coffee shop Café Joyeux for its welcoming atmosphere. “As a customer walking in, even if you don’t know what this coffee shop is all about, you will feel the energy and the joy,” she said.
4. What problem does Café Joyeux aim to address

It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.
The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change. However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others.
During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on. Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up!
“Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential,” Damian concludes.
8. What does the study mainly focus on
A. Why children change their dreams over time. B. Whether childhood goals re late to future success.
C. How childhood education determines future career. D. What impact early experiences have on characters.
9. Which of the following goals remains strong as children grow up
A. Connecting with others. B. Achieving academic success.
C. Hunting for a high-salary job. D. Improving personal social status.
10. What message does the author convey in paragraph 3
A. Future careers is determined by Childhood achievements.
B. Childhood ambition is potentially connected with success.
C. Setting small goals is more beneficial than dreaming big.
D. Adjusting goals can create new opportunities for success.
11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To summarize learning strategies. B. To offer suggestions for future studies.
C. To stress the significance of the study. D. To point out the limitations of the study.

In November 2020, Semantic Scholar introduced their new TLDR (Too Long Didn’t Read) feature. This AI-powered tool can shorten even the most complex computer science papers into a single-sentence summary, using natural language processing.
If you’re a researcher, you might be considering how much time you could save by not having to map out evidence for a new topic. This new tool will finally allow you to shift your attention to the parts of your job that are more complex, analytical and social. At the same time, you are probably a little concerned that it could replace you or one of your colleagues. The last time it took a team of four researchers to review the evidence. Will it only require three or fewer researchers in the future
So will the impact of AI on the labour market be the same as “a new disease… namely, technological unemployment” warned by John Maynard Keynes
It seems too early to give this question an answer now. But we’ve learned from history the fact that previous technological waves did not cause massive job loss. Instead, they have led to transformations within the labour market and brought challenges that policymakers continue to deal with. Workers may need to re-skill or up-skill. This will help them to adapt to new ways of organizing tasks and the appearance of new ones. New skills will enable them to face potential job loss and manage transitions to new jobs. Policies and institutions can play a key role in ensuring that all workers can successfully handle a changing labour market.
Even if AI increases the scale of the challenge, widens inequalities and brings new challenges for the work environment, policymakers should keep these lessons in mind to help workers ride the waves of technological change.
12. What can “TLDR” do according to the first two paragraphs
A. Shift your attention. B. Find evidence of a case.
C. Improve work efficiency. D. Help you write your paper.
13. Which statement will John Maynard Keynes probably agree with
A. Technological change will cause job loss.
B. A new disease will lead to unemployment.
C. Technological advancement can lead to diseases.
D. The appearance of AI is a warning for humanity.
14. How can workers adapt to technological changes in the labor market
A. By finding more new jobs. B. By managing the labour market.
C. By actively working with policy makers. D. By improving existing skills or learning new ones.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Advanced Features of TLDR B. New Development in AI Technology
C. The Impact of AI on the Labour Market D. The Application of an AI-powered Tool
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C

Rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. It usually happens in places that are hard to access and unsuitable for agricultural expansion and urbanization. ____16____ However, with the sport booming, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff (悬崖) ecosystems is under pressure.
The presence of climbers at the cliff where birds are nesting tends to cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. Climbers should check in advance if there are any bird nesting restrictions. ____17____ And some organizations have an online database offered to check.

____19____ In the early days, climbers often collected data about the species and geography they encountered as part of an adventure. It is now much easier to contribute to science as climbers. Much of this comes down to the fact that each of them carries a tiny computer that can smoothly process images, record location and sound and associate them with a timestamp — their smartphone!
The number of climbers heading out to these cliffs is increasing at an astonishing pace. It is essential for climbers to know what they can do to minimize the impact of climbing on the environment. ____20____
A. Every climber’s effort counts, no matter how small.

Rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. It usually happens in places that are hard to access and unsuitable for agricultural expansion and urbanization. ____16____ However, with the sport booming, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff (悬崖) ecosystems is under pressure.
The presence of climbers at the cliff where birds are nesting tends to cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. Climbers should check in advance if there are any bird nesting restrictions. ____17____ And some organizations have an online database offered to check.
