24、Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is ＂happier＂, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.

The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.

Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies.

The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.

So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

Title: Relationship between Age and 【1】

26、We often praise the world of 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，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that 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 lead to the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.

Hawking is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came 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 creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution(进化), couldn’t compete, ” said Hawking.

But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in charge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is going? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about AI？

A. The technology is not very popular now.

B. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.

C. It is now much smarter than humans.

D. It makes our lives easier.

【2】The writer took Hawking as an example to ____________.

A. explain how AI has helped us

B. show the great hidden use of AI

C. show AI has already become part of our life

D. suggest that AI become dangerous for humans

【3】What would be the best title for this passage?

A. AI: a friend or an enemy?

B. The development of AI

C. The future of human beings

D. The fight between humans and AI

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。

Adam Braun set up the organization Pencils of Promise in 2008. Its purpose is to make sure all children have a c【1】to study better. In 2014, the organization b【2】a new school somewhere every 90 hours. It has helped more than 22,000 children in Africa and Asia.

It started when Adam Braun studied in a college. He was visiting India when a boy stopped him and a【3】for money on the street. Mr. Braun asked the boy w【4】 he would want, if he could have anything in the world.

“I thought the answer was going to be ‘a house’ or ‘a car’ or ‘a boat’. His answer was ‘a pencil’. So I gave him my pencil and he was very h【5】 and excited. I realized he had never been to s【6】 before, and that was the reality (现实) for 57 million children around the world,” Braun said.

Adam Braun started working in finance (金融) after he graduated from college, but he n【7】 forgot the boy and the problem he realized.

“We live in a world in which every child can have a chance to get a good education, because we have everything necessary already. We are a【8】 to educate every child. So I promised to help create that world,” Braun said.

Mr. Braun has r【9】 money for his project. He paid for building the first Pencils of Promise School in Laos five years ago. S【10】 then, his organization has helped pay for more than 200 schools in the countryside of Laos and Ghana.

29、Wednesday Sunny

Today we had PE, so the first thing I did when I got outside was sneak off (偷偷摸摸) to the basketball court to see if the Cheese was still there. And sure enough, it was.

That piece of Cheese has been sitting on the blacktop since last spring. I ______ it must have dropped out of someone's sandwich or something.
