A taxi driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to give training to company executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride. I had flown into Dallas for the purpose of calling on a customer. Time was limited and my plan included a quick turn-around trip from and back to the airport. A spotless taxi pulled up. The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver’s seat, he mentioned that the neatly-folded Wall Street Journal next to me was for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, “Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell.” “You bet,” he replied, “I used to be in Microsoft. But I got tired of it, thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my position in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, helping people and feeling like I have done a full day’s work and done it well. I thought about my personal strengths and ... wham! I became a taxi driver. One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to go above the customer’s expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being ‘great’ better than just getting by being ‘average’.” 24．What does the writer really want to say in Paragraph 1? A．The writer thought the driver motivational. B．The writer benefited a lot from the ride. C．The writer was over charged for the ride. D．The writer paid less for the ride. 25．What caused the writer’s curiosity about the taxi driver? A．His wonderful CD. B．His touching speech. C．His high-quality service. D．His neatly-folded journal. 26．From the last paragraph we know that the taxi driver . A．is enthusiastic about his work B．expects much from his work C．thinks too highly of himself D．goes above his own expectations 27．Which of the following is the taxi driver likely to agree? A．Being great is a must in life. B．Life is not easy for all of us. C．Don’t expect too much in life. D．Every one of us has strengths.

D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance. Who is smarter? A human being or artificial intelligence（人工智能）? The question swept the world last year when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Se-del, 4-1. So, what comes next? Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.” So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies? “Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations. “We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance（视觉平衡）, are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.” As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.” Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective. “Our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.” 28．What was the result of the match? A．Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1. B．Lee Se-del was defeated. C．Google program beat AlphaGo. D．Neither side won the match. 29．What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks? A．It’s very hard for AI to beat the human brain. B．AI would take the place of human beings. C．AI can make various decisions quickly. D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance. 30．Who believes much has to be done to improve AI? A．Stephen Hawking. B．John Markoff. C．The New York Times. D．The Economist. 31．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply? A．AI will improve the world completely. B．AI is in the control of human beings. C．AI may bring disasters to human beings. D．AI will make our future out of control.
