17、nsIts not easy to grow up. Actually its far from easy. Growing up can be a real pain for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and arent allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just dont understand why

18、 we cant stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude（态度）, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains！As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play

19、the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me

20、along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. Theyve always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest！We are all going to experience growing pains, but the

21、y are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that.

25、pulated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, man

26、y of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communi

27、cations in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild

28、zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over

29、 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eigh

30、t remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150).

33、n a Googledeveloped program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player，South Korean Lee Sedel，41.So，what comes next?Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence，or AI in short，will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014，UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned tha

34、t “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?“Not quite，” answered The Economist. After all，its not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is get

35、ting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.“We think that，for the human being，things like sight and balance(视觉平衡)，are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison，founder of Motion Figures，a company that is bringing AI to boys，told the newspaper. “But for a robot，to walk up and

36、 down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second，and its really difficult to do.”As The Economist put it，“We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain，even though the technology can be great.”Meanwhile，John Markoff of The New York

37、 Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.“Our_fate_is_in_our_own_hands，” he wrote.“Since technology depends on the values of its creators，we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”32What was the result of the match?ALee
