Robots make me nervous-especially the ones which seem to think for themselves．I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates，the founder of Microsoft，felt the same way．Gates said in an interview with the website Reddit：“I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence．First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent．That should be positive if we manage well．A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern．”

Well，maybe I don’t have to worry about my laptop and kitchen appliances yet．After I use them I can always pull the plug．But in the future，machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off．There’s a scary thought!

Professor Stephen Hawking warned a few months ago about the possibility that artificial intelligence could evolve and end up beyond human contro1．He suggested that machines could“spell the end of the human race”．

Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil or rebellious．What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient．That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University believes．He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals，the destruction of people might be just collateral(附带的)damage．A machine would not take pity on you．

I’m glad my machines at home are“dumb”．All my vacuum cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room．Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!

1.We can conclude from Gates’statements that ___________．

A．he is embarrassed that he is afraid of robots

B．he doesn’t think machines are intelligent

C．machines should be fully employed

D．machines’super intelligence should be a concern

2.The underlined word“spell”in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____________．

A．record B．cause C．explain D．develop

3.Why are computers dangerous according to Nick Bostrom?

A．They are too evil and rebellious．

B．They are indifferent to humans．

C．They show pity on humans.

D．They are too clever and efficient．

4.What can be inferred about the author?

A．He doesn’t agree with Bill Gates．

B．He is not content with the present kitchen appliances．

C．He is scared about the super intelligence of machines．

D．He expects that machines will take place of humans．

Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents．At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them．Most teens work through this by the age of 16 or 17．

Often teenagers are treated like bigger children, but they will never become and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves．If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it without permission anyway．The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and ．

Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and ．As a result, teenagers always keep their from their parents．Teens often that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them．Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to their side of any problem and express their point of view．

Thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents．Every parent should try to schedule time to be with their child, like taking a short trip together．This time allows parents to talk and listen without from work or other family members．It might also be good to encourage teens to important issues at dinner．Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives．

A person’s teenage years are a key time for them to identify their own ,like distinguishing good from evil．Handling and improving communication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be for parents and teens alike．

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.

I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.

I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.

If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.

Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.

Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

1.Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?

A. A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing

B. The writer did it for himself.

C. The secretary did so.

D. Someone we don’t know.

2.Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?

A. Because he always forget the way to home

B. Because of his poor sense of direction

C. Because he did not have any friend.

D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.

3.How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?

A. He felt astonished B. He felt embarrassed.

C. He felt very sad. D. He felt strange

4.What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?

A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.

B. He will give the very person long list of direction

C. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town

D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.

-- Shall I go and buy more fruit for the party?

My grandmother Adele loved culture and was generous with its gifts. When I was a child, she took me to museums, restaurants, dances. She showered me with gifts from her travels around the world. But I can only remember her giving me one book—a book that, to this day, I have not read. She presented me with her own favorite childhood book: Hans Brinker. My grandmother was happy to share this book with me. She even decorated the title page with her proud writing.

I tried to read it. I adored reading, and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once. But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn’t let me in. The story was set in Holland, a long time ago. It felt dull and unfamiliar—even though I was a fan of classics of other times and places. I simply read the first pages over and over. I could not progress.

Standing on a bookshelf in our living room, the book was like something I avoided. It scolded me for not being interested, for not trying hard enough, for disappointing my grandmother.

The book started to fit in, almost forgotten, until Adele asked. Had I read it? Did I like it? Always determined, she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse, feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction. The book weighed on me.

Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker. Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf. The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I’ve lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift. Don’t ask, despite your desire to discuss it to grow closer. The desire for such connection is what gives book-giving with special meaning—and increases the owner’s possibility to be a letdown.

Guilt is basically the same as for all gifts, though. If the giver doesn’t have the pleasure of seeing or hearing about the gift being enjoyed, and asks whether it is, then the owner—unless she can truthfully say “yes”—either has to admit to not liking the present, or else lie on the spot. Neither is pleasant. So, don’t ask.
