　China?s admiration of outstanding scholars has turned the well-preserved childhood home of TuYouyou, the Chinese pharmacologist who won this year?s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, into a popular tourist destination.

　Since it was announced on Monday that 84-year-old Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win the international prize, her former home in the old town of Ningbo, Zhejiang province, has attracted visitors, especially parents and their children-even though it is not open to the public.

　The house, which is for sale, is part of a complex of 37 traditional buildings, including several city-and district-level cultural relic preservation sites, that have been transformed into a high-end art and commercial zone.

　Tu won the prize for developing a lifesaving malaria drug, artemisinin, a staple of traditional Chinese medicine, which has helped save millions of lives across the globe.

　?There are continually parents taking their children, from infants in strollers to college students, to take photos in front of Tu?s former home. Security guards have been ordered to go on patrol around the clock,? said a sales person surnamed Zhao, from Ningbo Real Estate Inc Co.

　Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei, who was on a trip to Ningbo, took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday.

?Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers. Taking children to visit the former dwelling places of celebrities is a way to inspire them to study harder,? Xu said.

　Something similar happened after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2012.

　Tourists started visiting Mo?s former home in rural Gaomi, Shandong province, in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize. Some even plucked the radishes planted in front of the house and carted away some bricks.

　Another site that has become a bigger tourist attraction these days because of Tu?s success is the Luofu Mountain scenic area in Huizhou, Guangdong province, where Ge Hong, a TCM master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-340) picked herbs, developed herbal medicines and wrote the classic Manual of Clinical Practice and Emergency Remedies.

　After winning the Lasker Award in the United States in 2011, Tu said she and her team were inspired by Ge?s theory to solve the puzzle in getting artemisinin(青蒿素) from the herb Artemisia annual, also known as sweet wormwood.

　A garden and a monument on Luofu Mountain celebrate Ge?s dedication. The mountain is home to 3,000 species of plants, including more than 1,200 with medicinal uses.

　When was the last time you had fun with your parents? Your parents are all busy during working days; during the weekends, you may want to hang out with them but they may have to work extra hours.

This is not uncommon. In China, both of the parents have their jobs. Most of the parents try their best to offer their children comfortable circumstances, but they seldom have time to stay with their children. A recent survey done in the US found that more than half of American parents spend less than three hours having fun with their children each week.

　As the Daily Mail noted: Families are spending little quality time creating bonds and precious memories together during the week because of the demands of modern life.

　Nowadays, it is not uncommon that parents spend little time accompanying their children, which may result from the demands of modern life and some other reasons.

　There are many factors accounting for this phenomenon. First, in contemporary society parents are facing more stress from living and work than before, so they have to spend most of their time making money. In addition, parents today are more easily distracted by various electronic products when keeping their children company.

　Take my own experience for example. Once upon a time, I got into trouble in my studies. It was my parents? company and comfort that had a great effect on my regaining self-confidence. Plain and peaceful as it was, this experience left an unforgettable impression on me, which is of great significance to my growth.

　To conclude, it?s vital for parents to spend more time with their children. However busy parents are, they should afford their time to accompany their children.(158)

　Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I?ve ever had: Be bold and brave ? and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.

　Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

　Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas ? even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

　Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. ?In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,? said Tim. ?I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet ? and stopped him cold.?

　Boldness ? a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme?is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

　So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities?and you?ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

　25. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

　A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces.

　C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success.

　26. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

　A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities.

　C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions.

　27. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

　A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless.

　C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little.

　C

　The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping-where you hand over notes and count out change in return?now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores?Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance?you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.

　Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction(抽象) of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. But earning money isn't quick or easy for most of us. Isn't it a bit incredible that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼)of an eye? Doesn't a wallet?that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness?represent something that matters?

　But I'll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet?the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets?is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble(鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.

　28. What is happening to the wallet?

　A. It is disappearing. B. It is being fattened.

　C. It is becoming costly. D. It is changing in style.

　29. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?

　A. Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.

　B. The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.

　C. Earning money is getting more difficult.

　D. Spending money is so fast and easy.

　30. Why does the author choose to write about what's happening to the wallet?

　A. It represents a change in the modern world.

　B. It has something to do with everybody's life.

　C. It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.

　D. It is the concern of contemporary economists.

　31. What can we infer from the passage about the author?

　A. He is resistant to social changes.

　B. He is against technological progress.

　C. He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.

　D. He feels insecure in the ever-changing modern world.

邪恶的机器(邪恶)的思想将推动军队的机器人杀手的好莱坞的理论是愚蠢的。真正的问题在于人工智能(AI)可能会变得非常擅长于实现某些东西，而不是我们真正想要的东西。在1960年,一个著名的数学家诺伯特·维纳,创立控制论领域(控制论),这么说:“如果我们使用,达到我们的目的,操作的机械机构与我们不能有效地干预(干预),我们最好是确定目的投入机器是我们真正的目的的欲望。”

具有特定目的的机器具有另一种质量，我们通常把它与生物联系在一起:希望保持它自己的存在。对于机器来说，这种质量不是与生俱来的，也不是由人类引入的;这是一个简单事实的逻辑结果，即如果机器死了，机器就无法达到它最初的目的。因此，如果我们送出一台带有“取咖啡”指令的机器人，它将有强烈的愿望，通过关闭自己的开关，甚至杀死任何可能干扰其任务的人，从而获得成功。如果我们不小心，那么，我们可能会面对一种国际象棋比赛，对手是非常坚定、超级智能的机器，它们的目标与我们自己的目标冲突，而现实世界则是棋盘。

进入和输掉这样一场比赛的可能性应该集中在计算机科学家的头脑中。一些研究人员认为，我们可以把机器密封在一种防火墙内，用它们来回答一些棘手的问题，但绝不允许它们影响现实世界。不幸的是，这个计划似乎不太可能奏效:我们还没有发明出一种安全的防火墙来对付普通人类，更不用说超级智能机器了。

在人工智能方面解决安全问题，似乎是有可能的，但并不容易。可能有几十年的时间来计划超级智能机器的到来。但这个问题不应该像某些人工智能研究人员那样被忽视。一些人认为，人类和机器可以共存，只要它们在团队中工作——但这是不可能的，除非机器能分享人类的目标。另一些人则说，我们可以“把它们关掉”，就好像超级智能机器太蠢了，不去考虑那种可能性。还有一些人认为超级智能的人工智能永远不会发生。1933年9月11日，著名的物理学家Ernest Rutherford满怀信心地说:“任何人都希望在这些原子的转变中，有一个力量的来源是月球上的光。”“然而,9月12日,1933年,物理学家Leo Szilard发明了中子诱发(中子诱导)核连锁反应。
