It means they can make decisions, finish tasks, and even tell the possible future results based on what they learn from data(数据). ②AI and machine learning already play a bigger role in everyday life than you might imagine. Health care, banking, video games, every search on the Internet you make..., all are driven by AI. ③AI is going to change almost every field of modern life. Stephen Hawking said, “Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history.” And Hawking added at once, “Unluckily, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.” ④ ▲ , especially when you consider some countries are racing to develop AI-enabled autonomous weapons(人工智能自主武器). It is also going to change and take the place of many human jobs. The same worries also come from the public. According to the survey result from Centre for the Governance of AI, 91% of the people (tend to and totally) agree that “AI is a technology that requires careful management” in Europe. ⑤But rather than agreeing with an idea of a helpless future where all human jobs are given over to robots, some people believe AI will make on working lives better. It will improve the work of humans, and new jobs will appear to take the place of the old ones. ⑥What’s more, machines become more intelligent and they are able to finish more human tasks. Things which only belong to humans lie creativity and critical(批判性的) thinking, will become even more valuable in the future. ⑦Like it or not, AI is here.

If you train and work hard, I am sure to wait for you next year and cheer you on.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast, “Keep going!

But my dream was big. I dreamed of being a basketball player. I tried out for the teams at school, but I was never given a chance. As I got older, I did grow a little bigger, but not a lot bigger. On my 12th birthday, I decided to try a new sport: running. I told Grandpa, “I’m going to be a sportsman.” “Dave,” Grandpa began gently, “if you can’t be big, you can do something big.” I ran 12 miles on my 12th birthday. On my 13th birthday, I did it again, but I added an extra (额外的) mile. On my 14th birthday, I ran 14 miles. 15 on my 15th, 16 on my 16th, and you guessed it—17 miles on my 17th birthday. All this running inspired (激发) another big dream. Someday, I’d run the Boston Marathon (马拉松赛). I told Grandpa about my decision. “But, Dave, you haven’t trained for the marathon. Are you sure you’re OK?” Grandpa asked. But he was still sure to walk over and cheer me on. I ran fast that day. But I fell at Mile 18 and the workers sent me to the hospital. Later that night, I called Grandpa and told him I failed. “No,” he said calmly, “you didn’t fail. You discovered something.” “I did?” I asked. “Yes, you discovered that big dreams don’t just come true. They take work. If you train and work hard, I am sure to wait for you next year and cheer you on.” I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn’t be waiting for my second Boston Marathon. I decided I’d run for him. That day, I ran fast, “Keep going! You can do it!” His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each painful step. As I crossed the finish line, I threw my arms in the air and cried, “Grandpa, I did it!” 42.

Think Twice D. The Story of Grandpa 【答案】42. C 43. B 44. D 45.
