barely put one foot after another following the wake (守灵) for her sister, who had died in an automobile accident. but she did run. with the cheers of friends and strangers reaching her heart, williams set a cw. post record in boston. now she will run again, in the national division crosscountry championships in evansville, ind. she wanted to be sure she was doing the right thing by running. she was the middle of three sisters, between kerry, who is 25, and jennifer, who was 18.just going through any motions was hard enough, but christine williams wanted to know if she should put on her uniform and her shoes and run through the woods on an autumn afternoon, in the awful gaping time between her sisters wake and her funeral. “i kind of got upset beforehand.” williams admitted. not a chatterbox under normal conditions, she now holds herself the best way she can, the fewer words the better. she almost walked away from the start line. but her friend angela toscano, who had flown up to boston with her, directly from the wake, was standing near the line and talked her through it. “she said my sister would have wanted me to run.” christine said. and that was enough to get her started.the accident happened just after midnight on nov. 4. four young women were driving in an unfamiliar area of long island in eastport, ny. , when one of them apparently ran a yield sign, and the car was hit by another vehicle. heather brownrigg and jennifer williams died, and their friends april brown and kaci moran were treated at a hospital and released.the crash made the papers. april brown was charged with drunken driving and driving without a license.the wake began on nov. 6. the next day christine was to run with the post crosscountry team at the regional meet. rich degnan, the post coach, and post officials offered a car service and tickets on the last flight to boston for christine and toscano. when they arrived at the hotel, the entire team was waiting up for her.everybody knew about it at the regional meet. degnan had to arrange for the flexibility of an alternate, just in case christine could not go. several times during the race, christine felt she could not continue. but then she heard her friends and all those other people, those strangers from other colleges, calling her name. she thought about jennifer. and she ran. she finished fourth in 22 minutes 58 seconds, breaking the post record for the 6kilometer distance by 15 seconds. and although the post team didnt qualify for the nationals, christine did.39the efforts christines post team made for her include the following except _.aoffering car service and flight tickets to bostonbarranging for a substitute for her beforehandctaking care of her food and uniformsdcheering for her during the

consciousness of. to try to replicate (复制) something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like pride. but you have to start somewhere, and international business machines (ibm) and the ecole polytechnique federale de lausanne (epfl), in switzerland, propose to start by replicating “in silico”， one of the brains building blocks.in a partnership announced, the two organizations said they would be working together to build a simulation (模拟) of a structure known as a neocortical (新大脑皮质的) column on a type of ibm supercomputer that is currently used to study the molecular functioning of genes. if that works, they plan to use more powerful computers to link such simulated columns together into something that mimics (模仿) a brain.in a real brain, a neocortical column is a cylindrical (圆柱形的) element about a third of a millimeter in diameter and three millimeters long. it is these columns, arranged side by side like the cells of a honeycomb, which make up the famous “grey matter” that has become shorthand for human intelligence. the blue gene/l supercomputer that will be used for the simulation consists of enough independent processors for each to be programmed to mimic an individual nerve cell in a column.the epfls contribution to the blue brain project will be to create a digital description of how the columns behave. the database from its brain mind institute will provide the raw material for the simulation. biologists and computer scientists will then connect the artificial nerve cells up in a way that mimics nature. they will do so by assigning electrical properties (电性能) to them, and telling them how to communicate with each other and how they should modify their connections with one another depending on their activity.that_will_be_no_mean_feat. even a single nerve cell is complicated, not least because each one has about 10,000 connections with others. and nerve cells come in great variety relying, for example, on different chemical transmitters to carry messages across those connections. eventually, however, a digital representation of an entire column should occur.assuming that the growth of computing power continues to follow moores law, the leader of ibms side thinks it should be practical to mimic an entire human brain in silico this way in ten to fifteen years. such an artificial brain would, of course, be a powerful research tool. it would allow neurological experiments that currently take days in a “web lab” to be conducted in seconds. the researchers hope that their simulated brain will reveal the secrets of how certain psychiatric and neurological disorders develop. but that is probably not the real reason for doing it. the most interesting question, surely, is whether such an artificial brain will be intelligent, or conscious, or both.42in a real brain, a neocortical column _.alooks like the cells of a honeycombbis a simulation of a structurecis the famous “grey matter”dcontains a large number of nerve

an independent nation, to cultural prisoners, to welfare recipients (享有者). is it any wonder that there are so many problems facing indigenous (土著的) australians today?when i was growing up in kowanyama there were 15 people in my class. i am the only one who has gone to university. im also the only girl in my class who did not have a child at 15. of the boys in my class, seven have been incarcerated,_two for murder, five for robbery and rape. only three of us are not alcoholics. four of my classmates have committed suicide.life as a young aborigine is not easy, in any setting. the story of my fellow students is a lesson in the magnitude of the problems that young indigenous people in cape york face.the two issues that are central to changing this story are education and health. there is a huge gap between what we get in communities and what other kids get in cities.one of the problems facing education in remote indigenous schools is that teachers tend to be just out of training and stay for only a year or two. not one teacher stayed for the whole of my nine years at school not even the principals. this seeming lack of commitment makes you feel they dont care.we need to review the curriculum in these communities because it is pitched at a very low level. i have had to draw the conclusion that governments and educationalists see us as less than white people.education should be uplifting, not serve to reinforce lack of selfesteem and the heartwrenching low expectations that our race suffer from.we need a massive reassessment of education policies and an equally massive investment in education. we have spent so long listening to some white fellows telling us we are stupid, lazy nohopers that the majority of my people actually believe it.the relationship between poor education and poor health is clear. people whose selfesteem and pride have been destroyed by a substandard education system and a social sys
