I was ever bullied badly when I was in high school. One kid in particular would try to make me feel worse in every way he knew. For example， he would throw stuff at me constantly， hit me on the head， punch（殴打）me， call me ugly and stupid， make fun of me and， of course tell me he would beat me up if I ever fought back. It was like his daily mission. And it was my daily mission to just get through the day. What could I say？ It made my world very small because that was my main focus---just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unfortunately， that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny， but it was very lonely. Looking back to that time， which was about 11 years ago， my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone into that world of mine. I was too proud （and embarrassed） to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind， that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak. Let me just say this： bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason why they come after you is that they think you won't do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong？ Absolutely not. Be stronger---ask a parent， a teacher or a friend for help. Simply admit that you are struggling and need help. You can put it like this， "Somebody who is weak and trying to build himself or herself up has chosen to do that by putting me down. The only reason why they are doing that is that I am nice and I haven't done anything about it yet. Well I am through putting up with this. I have basic human rights that they are trying to take away to feel better and that is just not OK. How do I handle this？ I don't want the pain cycle to continue and I don't want to become someone I don't want to be. 【1】What did the author do when he was bullied？ A.He just hoped that he could survive the day. B.He fell by the wayside. C.He called for help immediately. D.He fought back bravely. 【2】The author suggests ______ to fight bullies. A.getting used to the pain as soon as possible B.keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life C.looking for help from parents， teachers or friends D.promoting the understanding of basic human rights 【3】The author probably wrote this article to ______ . A.admit that he had been treated badly at school B.describe how he got rid of his weak C.show how grateful he was to those who helped hit D.share his experience and ideas on dealing with bullies |

A robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California. According to course instructor William Barry associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the world's first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, an achievement he described as “remarkable." The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution. Before becoming a student, Bina48 speared as a guest speaks in Barry's classes for several years. One day when addressing Barry's class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course^ Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesn't understand, said Barry Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is. "Some interesting things happened in the class," said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is "fairly simple — it's a feeling," said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning "31 different versions of love," said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future. Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with, students from West Point. Bina48's contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bma48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate. In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely。 【1】What was Bina48's performance like in class? A.Unattractive. B.Impractical. C.Unbelievable. D.Extraordinary. 【2】What does the underlined word "addressing" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Giving a speech to. B.Consulting with. C.Dealing with. D.Sending a letter to. 【3】What can we learn from the passage? A.It was impossible for Bina48 to learn about love. B.It was quite difficult for Bina48 to learn about love, C.Humans can launch, a challenge to artificial intelligence. D.Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man. 【4】What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48? A.It will surely be able to serve as a teacher. B.It will completely take the place of instructors. C.It will be able to promote learning and teaching. D.It will be smart enough to control human beings. |

The world’s insects are hurtling down the path to extinction, threatening a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review. More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles. “It should be of huge concern to all of us, for insects are at the heart of every food web, they pollinate the large majority of plant species, keep the soil healthy, recycle nutrients, control pests, and much more. Love them or loathe them, we humans cannot survive without insects, ” said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sussex in the UK. The analysis, published in the journal Biological Conservation, says intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines, particularly the heavy use of pesticides. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors. One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on the many birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish that eat insects. A small number of adaptable species are increasing in number, but not nearly enough to outweigh the big losses. Matt Shardlow, at the conservation charity Buglife, said: “It is gravely sobering to see this collation of evidence that demonstrates the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations. It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for an intense and global effort to stop and reverse these dreadful trends.” 【1】What does “are hurtling down ”underlined mean? A. To climb very slow in a straight direction B. To move very fast in a particular direction. C. To become lower in value or level quickly D. To speed up suddenly in a particular direction 【2】According to the passage what caused the declines of the insects EXCEPT? A. Intensive agriculture B. Urbanization C. Climate change D. Pests control. 【3】In paragraph 4, the author wants to stress the decline of insects A. by giving the examples B. by making the comparison C. by giving the definition. D. by making the explanation 【4】What is the main idea of the text? A. Sharply decreasing insects numbers threaten damage of nature. B. The impacts will be brought by the insect loss. C. The effective measures are taken to stop the scary trends. D. The leading factors cause insects decline |

As students head to their Thanksgiving break, here comes a big homework assignment: StoryCorps wants tens of thousands of teenagers across America to interview their grandparents this Thanksgiving and upload their recordings to the Library of Congress. The nonprofit oral history organization is asking high school history teachers to have their students record the interviews with StoryCorps free smartphone application. Recordings sent to the library will be shared with the public. "The Great Thanksgiving Listen is an assignment that will last for generations," StoryCorps founder Dave Isay says. "When young people do these interviews and they hit 'send' at end of the interview to the library they know that their great-great-great-great-great-grand kids are going to listen to these conversations someday and get to understand where they come from and who their ancestors are." He hopes it becomes an annual tradition that brings families closer together by using modern technology to preserve the wisdom of elders. The students could tap into memories of events dating back to the 1920s, but Isay says the stories are less important than the fact that two people are talking." The purpose of StoryCorps is to have the two people who have this conversation feel more connected with each other and give the person who is being interviewed the chance to be heard," he says. Brandon Clarke, an administrator at the private Berkeley Carroll School, in Brooklyn, New York, is enthusiastic about tbc project. He says StoryCorps, which is headquartered near the school, has interviewed some of his teachers while developing an instructional guide for the Thanksgiving project. A couple weeks before the holiday, Berkeley Carroll students may get some classroom exercises aimed at sharpening their interview skills. "How do you develop good questions? How do you go about conducting an interview? How do you build off of a really interesting response?" But Isay says interviewing isn't hard. He says he has learned from listening to some of the 60,000 conversations StoryCorps has collected since 2003 that people are naturally good at it. "It's just a matter of concentrating, being present and making sure you're in a quiet place," he says. "I think people understand the importance of the moment and that they treat it very seriously." About 13 million radio listeners hear edited versions of StoryCorps interviews every Friday on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition". StoryCorps also shares excerpts（节录）of recordings through animated videos, podcasts and its website. Isay says the Thanksgiving project will help spread the idea that history comes from the bottom up. Clarice agrees. "This is a really great example of how oral history is really history, "he says. "For it to be legitimate（正统的）history, it doesn't have to appear in print in a carefully-edited book. Individual stories and individual perspectives arc also part of history." 【1】How does StoryCorps collect the stories for its project? A.It asks grandparents to tell their children stories. B.It asks teenagers to record their grandparents' stories. C.It asks students to interview their grandparents in a library D.It asks teachers to teach their students how to make recordings 【2】For Save Isay the purpose of the Thanksgiving project is to ______ A.create a new family tradition. B.pay attention to taking care of the elders. C.make family members have a close relationship. D.help a family's history be remembered by its later generations. 【3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that . A.sharing oral stories is a fresh idea for most Americans, B.oral history plays a more important role in people's daily life. C.there are many mediums and tools available for recording history. D.oral history is currently not considered to be as credible printed history. 【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A.Interview between teenagers and their grandparents. B.Descriptions of the story collection process. C.Opinions of the elders who have shared their stories. D.Information on how the recordings are shared and used. |
