We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and
makes our lives easier with technology.
One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.
However, one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.
“The development of artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”, said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.
Hawking is a well-known British scientist and writer of best-selling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came after he used the machine particularly made for him. As Hawking suffers from a serious disease called ALS, he needs an AI computer communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.
This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet hawking is frightened of the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer that us. “Humans can’t complete because they are limited by slow biological evolution (生物进化)” said Hawking.
In what direction do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?
53. According to the passage, AI machines can _________ nowadays.

B. The AI technology is developing much more slowly that humans.
C. Hawking thinks humans might die out because of the development of AI.

Dear Susan,
I have read your letter and known about your problems.
I know you are not happy these days. You say you are not allowed to use computer by your mother. You should tell your mother that you will finish your homework before playing computers. Besides playing computers, there are also some other ways can make you relaxed. I think playing sports is also a very good way of relaxing.
You say you are putting on weight and you think you become so heavy that you feel you aren’t healthy. In my opinion, one of the most important ways of losing weight for keeping healthy is to be on a diet. You should pay attention to your diet. Do not eat too much each meal and do not eat junk food such as fast food, chips and so on. Another useful way I want to tell you is that you should take exercise every day.
I hope my advice can be helpful.
Yours,
Anna。
