When we 31 our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a 32 difference in their life, we increase our experience at the same time.Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life.Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working part-time, and just 33 getting by financially. Standing in line at a local supermarket, I 34 a woman in the same line, thinking that she was not very attractive. As I was 35 , I discovered that I did not have enough money to pay; without 36 , that same woman I had been judging offered to 37 the difference. It wasnt 38 , but what that person did made a lasting impression on me. She was a beautiful, caring soul who was willing to help a stranger in a(an) 39 situation. That happened over forty years ago and I remember it as 40 as if it was yesterday.Other examples are the numerous times I have had people smile at me, which 41 my day. Ive often wondered if it was because I was smiling, which I 42 to do all the time, or because they were smiling to be 43 , which encouraged me to smile as well. It has probably been some of both. In 44 case, that simple gesture (a smile) makes a difference in my day.There are 45 ways to make a significant difference in anothers life. The question is: Are we doing it? It does not 46 anything, but it does require some effort on our part. I have found that as I do this consistently, the 47 go far beyond the energy required to do the deed. Looking for ways to brighten another persons day raises our vibration(共鸣),and when we act on it, we 48 the other person to raise their vibration as well it is 49 to each other.Make a difference in someones life today, and 50 doing so every day. Today is a perfect time to start!

When people buy food from far away, it takes extra energy to package and ship it by boat, train, truck or planeSave waterYou can save water by helping your Dad repair leaking pipes and toiletsTake short showers instead of bathsSome waste water from baths can be used for other purposes, such as watering plants or washing outdoor spacesIt is important to help preserve the local water quality by not pouring dangerous household chemicals down the drain or into the groundDispose of them properly51. The target readers of this passage could mostly probably be_. . A housewives B students C businessmen D car drivers52. Which of the following has the author NOT mentioned to protect the Earth? A Dont buy products made from endangered animals B Dont buy food produced in faraway places C Dont order more than you can eat at a restaurant D Dont buy goods with heavy packaging53. The underlined words bauxite ore in the third paragraph refers to_. A a metal which can be used to make cans B a matter which can be used to produce energy C a container in which a certain material can be stored D a mineral from which a certain metal can be obtainedB Hollywoods theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics(控制论), put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.” A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard. The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines. Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teamsyet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.54. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .A. command armies of killer robotsB. satisfy humans real desiresC. run out of human controlD. work faster than a mathematician55. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to .A. do anything successfully with given ordersB achieve their original goals independentlyC. prevent themselves from being destroyedD. beat humans in international chess matches56. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?A.It will be solved but with difficultyB. It will get worse with human interference.C. It will disappear with the development of AI.D. It will stay for a decade. COne evening at a busy Broadway intersection, I noticed a sister struggling to keep her little kid in check while she talked on the pay phone. She wanted him to stay still next to her, but he wanted to run and play at the roadside, close to rushing buses and taxis. One could sense the womans frustration, that she was pulled in too many directions: She was angry at the person on the telephone and shouting at the younger that she would “snap his leg” if he moved again. As I waited for the traffic light to change, the child began to complain and struggle to free himself from the womans grip. She dropped the phone, seized the neck of his tiny T-shirt and gave him a back-hand blow across the face that I know made his little head spin.The light changed, and passersby continued on their way. But I stood there, fixed to the pavement. I knew this extremely upset woman would follow through on her threat of violence to the child. Before, I had wanted to approach her and offer to watch the youngster while she dealt with the distressing situation on the phone. Now I wanted to comfort the little boy. I also wanted to speak to the sister to calm her and to caution her, as I wish someone had cautioned me when I was passing my pain on to my daughter and causing her emotional suffering. But I was chicken. I thought, she may think Im out of line, or I may be her next target.Often Ive thought about that child and the many others abused by adults. I wonder how they will internalize (使藏在心底) their pain, if it will crush their spirits. Will this little boy grow up to be an abusive man? Will he be gloomy and withdrawn? Will he find it hard to communicate with women, with other men? Or will he survive and be sensitive, caring and determined not to continue the cycle?There is too much cruelty in the world, too much cruelty between people. I tremble at the increasing verbal bitterness and violence among Black girls, and among young mothers trying to discipline their children. This behavior isnt class- or age- related: I hear sharp words from Black women from all walks of life who are overworked and stressed out and have grown impatient. At times I, too, become short with others, or, like the sister on the phone, strike out at those closest to me.Often were tired because weve made the wrong choices. Young girls who still need mothering are loaded with children. We, sisters easily get hurt and annoyed wh
