（共20小题，每小题1.5分）AMY mother used to say things just to make me mad. Like most teenagers, I thought I knew everything. And what I didn’t know, I didn’t want to be told. For example, if I said I was going to a movie, my mother would roll her eyes. On my way out, she’d shout ,“You need to slow yourself down before something bad happens! You don’t want to learn that the hard way!” I didn’t know what that meant. I thou ght she just wanted me to stay at home.Many years later I had three teenagers of my own. They thought they knew everything. I would say the same things to them like my mom. That’s when I first saw it. My mother wasn’t trying to help me.Why do we always have to learn things“the hard way”? Why can’t we just accept our elders’ wisdom? It’s a good lesson for anyone. Clearly, I still haven’t learned it.Yesterday, I stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone ringing in the kitchen. Grabbing a towel, I ran through the house. I grabbed the phone and hit my left foot against the table. The X-ray showed that I’d broken two toes.We all need to slow ourselves down once in a while, before something bad does it for us.

Will it become boring?Twenty-eight eighth-graders at St. Matthew School in San Francisco will tell you it can still be rich and colorful.These students took part in their school’s “tech-free” challenge. They couldn’t use cell phones for two weeks from Nov 11 to Nov 22.The idea was to help students understand how technology has affected their lives, said Denise Uhl, principal of the school.Uhl did a survey on technology usage among the eighth-graders before thinking of the challenge. She found that 84 percent of the students said they didn’t like it “when everyone was on their cell phones”, but they didn’t know what to do about it. The answer was actually easy --- to stop constantly using cell phones.To help students understand the point, Uhl created the activity. It was warmly welcomed among students.“I wanted to sign up for the tech-free challenge because it was just really a good idea to do it,” eighth-grader Joe told local newspaper Catholic San Francisco. “I wanted to get closer to my family. And it really worked. I started to hang out with my family more. We watched more family movies and we played a lot of board games.”The activity also helped students develop their interests.During the two weeks, Lucas said he spent much more time outside, picking lemons in his garden.

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 S tephen Hawking to the BBC.Hawking is a well-known British scientist and writer of bestselling 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 to 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 t hat 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 than us. “Humans ca n’t compete 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?42.
