We often praise science.

    It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能) . This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that can think like humans.

  However,one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.

    " The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race," said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.

   Hawking is a well-known British physicist and author of the best-selling science book — A Brief History of Time. This warning came after commenting on the technology he uses to speak with. As Hawking suffers from a serious disease called ALS,he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.

   This is a basic type of AI,which is very useful,yet Hawking fears the possibility of creatjng machines that can match or surpass human intelligence. And it's easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big machines that are far cleverer than us. "     Humans,who are limited by slow biological evolution (進(jìn)化) ，couldn’t compete," said Hawking.

But not every scientist is pessimistic (悲觀的) about AI technology. ” I believe we will remain in charge of the technology for a long time”1 said Rollo Carpenter,the creator of Cleverbot in the UK,which is a software program that remembers past conversations. "The potential" of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized."

41. The best-selling science book A Brief History of Time explains the world.

42. Hawking is a great scientist who works for the BBC.

43. Hawking is pessimistic about AI technology.

44. Hawking needs an AI computer to communicate because it's useful.

45. AI is an area where scientists are working on creating machines which can think like humans.

  When it's time to teach our kids good manners (禮貌) ，do we realize the basic manners we should teach them?

   If your kid is hungry,he must ask by saying, " May I have something to eat?” That's proper manners. Saying "Thank you" when he receives the food is also necessary. If he breaks something,it's important to say, " Fm sorry."

   Kids must know it's not right to make fun of others. They must be taught that it's impolite to laugh at others’ looks or weight,and they shouldn’t say something like " You’re boring. " In fact,if you have nothing nice to say,it's better to say nothing.

   Sometimes kids may not seem to pay attention to how to greet guests. So they must be taught to greet even a stranger at home with a smile and a word of greeting. Shaking hands and making eye contact (接觸) are also important. Without saying hello to somebody who has come will certainly be considered impolite. Besides,when the guests are leaving,the kids should smile and say goodbye.

   Children may not mean to disturb anybody's privacy (隱 私) .However,they have to be taught to knock before entering anyone's room. These basic manners have to be taught at home.

    Stopping another person when he is speaking or cutting in on him midway is impolite. Kids must know that they can have their turn when other people finish talking. Also,paying full attention to what is being said and keeping eye contact are important things that need to be remembered.

   Last but not least,kids usually learn by watching their parents,so set a good example to them.

41. It's proper manners to say n Thank you” when kids receive something to eat.

42. Kids must know it9s all right to make fun of others.

43. It9s not necessary for kids to shake hands and make eye contact with guests.
