Our teachers always warn us not to waste time if we want to be great people in the future because time lost will never . It is quite . We don¡¯t know what time looks and we can¡¯t see it or it. No amount of money can buy it. Time is abstract(³éÏóµÄ), so we have to about it.

As we all know, time passes very quickly. Many students complain they don¡¯t have time to review their lessons. In fact, they don¡¯t know how to make of their time. They often waste it playing, and other useless things. Why do most people have to take buses walking. The answer is very . We wish to save time because time is .

Now we are living in the 21st century. We time as life . When a person dies, his life ends. Since life is short, we must our time and energy to our study so that we be able to work and live well in the future. Laziness is the of time, for it not only brings us , but also does other to us. If it is necessary for us to do our work today us do it today and not it until tomorrow. Time is much more .

Susan Boyle was once a Scottish church volunteer. She decided to enter a competition named ¡°British got Talent¡± at the age of 47years. On April 15th 2009, when Susan got up to sing, the audience was shocked by her age and simplicity.

Middle-aged women were not the usual type of competitor on the show and the audience was even more surprised when she said before starting to sing that she wanted to become a professional singer. To them she looked well past such possibilities. However, she amazed everybody with her wonderful voice and became an overnight singing star. It was reported that the audience all stood up and clapped warmly and that within 9 days, 100 million people had watched her performances and interviews on the Internet.

This was a lot of progress for an unemployed woman who lived along with her cat. Most of her life had been spent looking after her mother who had died aged 92, two years earlier. She had never been married or in her words, ¡°been kissed¡±. Susan had learned difficulties and had only once been employed as an assistant cook.

Even though Susan did not win the ¡°British got Talent Show¡± and came up second, two years later, she already released two successful albums. Many people are touched by her story because Susan Boyle is like each of us in one way or another¡ªfull of weakness, often disappointed and mocked at by others. However, unlike many of us who usually give up too soon, she had the determination to fight for her dream. Susan Boyle launched her successful music career at the age of 48 and you too can still achieve your dream. Just take courage.

Jack threw some papers on my desk and looked at me angrily.

¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± I asked.

¡°Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,¡± he shouted and left.

¡°How dare he treat me like that?¡± I thought. I had just changed one long sentence, and correct grammar--- something I thought I was paid to do. In fact I had been warned. On the first day one of my workmates took me aside and reminded me of his temper. As the weeks went by, I came to look down on Jack.

One day Jack¡¯s other papers left me in tears so I stormed into his office angrily.

¡°What?¡± he asked.

Suddenly I knew what I must do. After all, he earned it. ¡°Jack, the way you¡¯ve been treating me is wrong. I¡¯ve never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, it¡¯s wrong for me to allow it to continue,¡± I said. Jack smiled nervously, ¡°Susan, I make you a promise that I will be a friend. I will treat you as you should be treated, with respect and kindness,¡± he said. With these words, I left.

Jack avoided me the rest of the week, and never questioned my work again. I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. Another day I left a note: ¡°Hope your day is going great.¡± Over the next few weeks, Jack reappeared , but there were no more Jack¡¯s papers. One year later I discovered I had breast cancer, and was scared. The statistics (ͳ¼ÆÊý×Ö) were not great for my long-term survival.

On the last day of my hospital stay, Jack came and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside. ¡°Tulips (Óô½ðÏã) ,¡± he said. I smiled, not understanding. He cleared his throat. ¡°If you plant them when you get home, they¡¯ll come up next spring. I think you will be there to see them when they come up.¡± Tears clouded my eyes and I whispered: ¡°Thank you.¡±Jack held my hands firmly, saying, ¡°You are welcome. You can¡¯t see it now, but next spring you will see the colors I picked out for you.¡±

I have seen those red and white striped£¨ÓÐÌõÎƵģ© tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years now. This past September the doctor declared me cured. At a moment when I was praying for just the right word, a man with very few words said all the right things. After all, that¡¯s what friends do.

As Artificial Intelligence£¨AI£© becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.

Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it¡¯s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.

For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn¡¯t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. ¡°You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,¡± said Russell.

Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn¡¯t think that¡¯s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.

It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.

Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.

The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they¡¯ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo£¨½û¼É£©.

One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.

If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps(à½à½Éù), and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren¡¯t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.

The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.

1.What does the author say about the threat of robots?

A. It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.

B. It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.

C. It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.

D. It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.

2.What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author?

A. They are aggressive.B. They are outgoing.

C. They are ignorant.D. They are ill-bred.

3.How do robots learn human values?

A. By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.

B. By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.

C. By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.

D. By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.

4.What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?

A. keep a distance from possible dangers.

B. Stop to seek advice from a human being.

C. Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.

D. Do sufficient testing before taking action.

5.What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?

A. Determine what is moral and ethical.

B. Design some large-scale experiments.
