It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand

17、. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. Wh

18、en he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant(仆人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay fo

19、r their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors.

But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way. Its never a wise idea to believe that

24、the family member who was good at the job of map-reading knows where the family is. You can tell by the troubled look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and its still morning. If you dont know the exact time, you can still find out where

25、south is, but youll need to be patient. Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow(a dark shape on a surface that is made when something stands between a light and the surface). Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by

26、making a simple plumb line(铅锤线). You havent got one? OK, use a thread(线) from your clothes with a button(纽扣) tied at the end to act as a weight. Mark the end of the shadow cast(投射) by the stick. Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again. Keep doing this until you have made several

27、 marks. The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south. Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick. That point is south of where you are. Now you can

32、ng is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came from a serious disease called ALS; he needs an AI computer to communicate.

33、 of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And its easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by s

34、low biological evolution(进化), couldnt compete, ” said Hawking.But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in charge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI i
