I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were           41    to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life. My parents always say, “   42  hard and the world is yours.” They are never without a   43  word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.
My parents always   44   me to go to college. However, when I    45  at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they    46   stopped telling me they loved me and I could anything I wanted to.   47  , they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently   48 the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the   49  a better place to live in.
Every time I call home to tell them about a   50  I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or whichever    51  it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how   52  of me they are. I know there are college kids out there that have no one to call home when they an “A” on a project and I feel incredibly   53  to have my parents.
Don’t get me wrong: We’ve had our share of    54  . I was the angry teenager and they were the awful    55   that wouldn’t let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced（扎洞）.But somehow, we   56 to work through those issues. They never   57  loving in me or believing in me.
I   58 everything I am to my parents. Without their   59 love and encouragement, I wouldn’t believe I can change the world. My parents taught me to always   60  for what I believe in. So I’m working toward something really great and can only hope I continue to make them proud.

Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie's feet when Father cleared his throat and began," You'll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We've found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England."

His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. "But the lion," he cried, "What about the lion?"

"I'm afraid there's something else I have to tell you," his father said. Looking across at Bertie's mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus(马戏团) owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.

"No! You can't send him to a circus!" said Bertie. "People will come to see him. He'll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He'd rather die. Any animal would! " But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.

Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father's deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father's rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion's neck. The time had come.

"Be wild now," he whispered. "You've got to be wild. Don't ever come home. All my life I'll think of you. I promise I will." He buried his head in the lion's neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.

When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.

There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion's head.

Technology: Taking the good without the bad?

Very soon, unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives．This could have dangerous consequences, especially because we may not even understand the basic science underlyi ng them．There’s a growing gap between our technological capability and our basic scientific understanding．We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science underneath, and that is very dangerous．

The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years are nanotechnology （纳米技术）, artificial intelligence and biotechnology．The benefits that they will bring are beyond doubt．But they are going to be very, very dangerous．I’m working in the field of artificial intelligence．I have a model design for something that might be 50,000 million times smarter than the human brain．Target date is 2010．The only thing that's not possible in the film Terminator（终结者） is that the people win．If you're fighting against technology w hich is 50,000 million times smarter than you, you probably will not win．

Nanotechnology．We've all heard of the grey glue problem, that self-replicating nanotech devices might keep on copying until the world has become sticky glue．And certainly in biotechnology, we've really got a big problem because it's converging with nanotechnology and IT．Once you start mixing nanotech with organisms and you start feeding nanotech-enabled bacteria, we can really go an awful lot further than the Borg in Star Trek（星际迷航）．And those superhuman organisms might not like us very much．

Eventually these technologies will become routine．That’s a threat to humanity．I don’t think it’s possible to slow it down．So what we need to do is accelerate the scientific research and try to get some extra tools．The problems facing us in the future are getting bigger and bigger．I think if we don’t get some proper science done, the future is hopeless indeed．

1.From the text, we know that the author’s greatest concern is ．

A．our lack of technological understanding of the process involved

B．our lack of technological capability

C．creating technology without really understanding the basic science

D．Our refusal to face the consequences of the technology we create

2.It can be inferred from the text that the author ．

A．thinks people overvalue the capabilities of technology

B．is not optimistic that artificial intelligence will always be used positively

C．thinks that we should take science fiction movies more seriously

D．believes artificial intelligence is the greatest threat we face technologically

3.Why does the author say it is not possible in the film Terminator that the humans win?

A．Because the power of the technology is exaggerated（夸大）．

B．Because the strength of the machines is much greater．

C．Because machines with that much intelligence can easily defeat humans．

D．Because human beings are not courageous enough to win the battle．
