18、ends and stability ，to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco. At school ，I had found a job driving a school bus so people asked ， “ Why on earth areyou leaving ？ ”Well ， at graduation I was presented with two things a degree in psychology and aquestion. It was the same one that many in my gen

19、eration got:？“”WhatItwasdoasI do nowdifficult as it was common. That s because many people at my age were raised with the samewords，repeated over and over by parents， teachers and TV，that you“ can be whatever you wantto be.” As a young ，boyevery time when I was puzzled about my future ，they would sa

20、y that theywould be happy if I was happy. However ， what I needed was concrete advice but not a vagueidea， for example ， “ be a doctor， or be a bus driver.”My experience was by no means universal. Many Americans are taught by their parentsthat the only purpose in life is to attain money and power. A

21、s a goal ， this seems much easier andclearer than finding“ happiness” or“ gentleness” . The result of this upbringing is that many of myclassmates did not specialize in any particular skill ， rather assumingthat somethingwouldmagically happen to overcome their problems. They often get a real shock w

22、hen they enterthe “ real world” and find that their options are very limited. Many of my friends have taken jobs aswaiters or cooks after graduating ， or have moved back in with their parents.My life on the boat is hard at times ， especially during storms. But this is my small attemptto be happy on

26、hospital ， Dr. John Lorber discovered that he had almost no brain at all. Normally ， the condition is quite severe in the first months of.childhood. Even when someone survives he or she is usually seriously disabled. Somehow ，though， the student had lived a perfectly normal life and went on to gain

27、a degree in mathematics. This case is by no means as rare as it seems.Professor Lorber has identified ( 确认）several hundred people who have very small brains butwho appear to be normal intelligent people. Some of them he des cribes as having“ no detectablebrain ，”yet they have scored up to 120 on IQ

28、tests.No one knows how people with“ no detectable brain” are able ，to letfunctionalone at allgraduate in mathematics. One suggestion is the old idea that we only use a small percentage of our brains anyway perhaps as little as 10 per cent. But more recent research shows this idea is a misunderstandi

29、ng dating from research in the 1930s in which the functions of large areas of thebrain could not be determined and were named， while“ silentinfact they” are linked withimportant functions like speech and abstract thinking.The other interesting thing about Lorber s findings is that they remind us of

30、the secret ofmemory. At first it was thought that there is a part in the brain for memory， like the memorychips in a PC. But further research of the brain has turned up the surprising fact that memory does not depend on any particular area in the brain. As one scientist put it ， “ Memory is everywhe

31、re inthe brain and nowhere.”But if the brain is not a place for classifying and storing experiences and analyzing them toenable us to live our lives ， then what on earth is the brain for ？ And where is the seat of human intelligence ？ Where is the mind ？29.What will usually happen to a very young ba

The brain is in fact of no use.C. The brain determines one s IQD. Only a small part of the brain is used.31.W

33、hat do we know about the existence of memory ？A. We use all of our brain.B. We have memory chips.C. We are fully aware of it.D. We are still confused about it.DCompanies that have invested ( 投资） heavily in big data want to know how to make smart investments that will distinguish them from the compet

34、ition and enable the best possible return before making the decision to go all in. In the past， not all enterprises gdatabi plans went as planned. These failures are not usually published ， but the big data failure rate is unusually high.According to Gartner ， only 15% of businesses make it past the

35、 experimental stage of these projects. Our fear ，as leaders of technology companies，is that with so much attention surrounding AI ， the pressure is on to apply the technology without first setting clear business goals and.understanding the differences between AI and ML (machine learning) and how the

36、y should beapplied ， thus risking falling behind the many decision makers who are adopting the technology.It s easy to get caught up in the great expectations of artificial intelligence as it，includingbreakthroughs like deep learning ， but those lookingto make an outsized influenceshould instead foc

37、us on good old-fashioned machine learning or“ cheap learning”.The distinction is simple: Cheap learning is about using basic machine learning techniqueson straightforward data sets in different parts of a company to produce a large number of small，gradual improvements. Deep learning ， on the other h

38、and ，is a specific part of machine learning. Deep learning is a collection of advanced machine learning approaches that make business decisions based on highly complex data sets possible.For tasks of analyzing raw data ，such as images and voice recordings，deep learning is best.But when it comes to w

39、orking on simplified ，structured types of data，we ve found cheap machine learning will do the trick. When you consider that the majority of data flowing through enterprises falls into this second category ， it s clear which tool makes the most sense.32. What do we know about investment in big data f
