24、 Pierre Dupin had delivered milk to the families on Prince Edward Street for thirty years. All who knew him loved him.
Every morning at five, Pierre arrived at the milk company’s stables, saying to Joseph, “Good morning! My old friend!” Then, the two started their day proudly. Without any order from Pierre, the wagon would roll down the street. The horse stopped at the first house. There, Joseph would wait perhaps thirty seconds for Pierre to get down off his seat and put a bottle of milk at the front door…
One day, the president of the company came to check the early morning milk deliveries. Jacques, the foreman(领班) of the stables, pointed to Pierre and said,“See how the horse listens and how he turns his head toward Pierre?”
“Yeah! But Pierre’s getting old.” said the president, “Tell him it is time he rested…”
But Pierre said, “My life will be nothing if I can’t drive Joseph every day. We are two old men! Let us wear out together. When Joseph is ready to leave, then I too will do so.”
Then one cold morning, after about two years, Jacques said, “Pierre, your horse, Joseph, didn’t wake up. Go over and see him.”
Pierre took one step forward, then turned. “No…no… You…you don’t understand, Jacques.”
Now, Jacques looked into Pierre’s eyes. He saw a dead, lifeless look in them. So he said, “Take the day off, Pierre!
Pierre stepped into the street. Then there came a warning shout and a screech(尖锐的刹车声)…
Five minutes later, a doctor announced, “Pierre’s dead…”
“I couldn’t help it.” the driver said, “Why, he walked as though he were blind?”
The doctor bent down. “Blind? Of course! This man has been blind for five years.” he turned to Jacques, “Didn’t you know that?”

25、 You probably see a lot of things made of plastic, like bottles and bags, every day. What happens when that plastic gets thrown away? Scientists say much of it ends up in oceans and causes problems for creatures(生物)like fish and birds.
“Plastic puts ocean creatures in danger," says Allison Schutes of the Ocean Conservancy. That's a group that works to protect the world's oceans.
A recent study shows that each minute, enough plastic reaches the ocean to fill up one garbage truck! That same study predicts that by the year 2050, our oceans will have more plastic than fish.
All that plastic is bad news for ocean life. Some ocean creatures die when they get tangled(使缠结)in pieces of plastic. Others accidentally eat it and die, too.
Most scientists say taking out all the plastic that's already in the ocean would be impossible. Instead, they say the best way is to prevent more plastic from getting there.
Many groups are already taking action. They organize cleanups on beaches to pick up litter before it reaches the ocean. ▲ , volunteers from the Ocean Conservancy collected more than 16 million pounds of it last year!
Experts also encourage people to use less plastic. Many cities and towns in America have banned plastic shopping bags. Experts also suggest that people drink out of reusable bottles and try reusable shopping bags.
“These seem like small things," says Schutes, "but they can help make a big difference.”

27、Artificial intelligence: Google’s AlphaGo beats Go master Lee Se-dol
A computer program has beaten a master Go player 3-0 in a best-of-five competition, in what is seen as a landmark moment for artificial intelligence (人工智能).
Google‟s AlphaGo program was playing against Lee Se-dol in Seoul, in South Korea.
Mr Lee had been confident he would win before the competition started.
“AlphaGo played consistently (稳定地) from beginning to the end while Lee, as he is only human, showed some mental weakness,” one of Lee’s coaches, Kwon Kap-Yong, told the AFP news agency.
Mr Lee is considered as a successful Go player, having won many competitions in his career.
Go is a game of two players who take turns putting black or white stones on a 19-by-19 grid (棋格). Players win by surrounding their competitors pieces with their own.
In the first game of the series (系列赛), AlphaGo won by a very small chance – Mr Lee had led for most of the match, but AlphaGo managed to build up a strong lead in its closing stages.
After losing the second match to DeepMind, Lee Se-dol said he was “speechless” adding that the AlphaGo machine played a “nearly perfect game”.
Experts said that Lee Se-dol had brought his “top game” but that AlphaGo had won “in great style”.
The AlphaGo system was developed by British computer company DeepMind which was bought by Google in 2014. It has built up its special skills by studying older games and teasing out so many kinds of ways of play. And, according to DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, it has also spent a lot of time just playing the game.
“It played itself, millions and millions of times and each time got a little better – it learns from its mistakes,” he told the BBC before the matches started.
This good circle of continuous improvement meant the super computer went into the five-match series stronger than when it beat the European player late last year.
Does this mean artificial intelligence is now smarter than us and will kill us humans? Certainly not. AlphaGo doesn‟t care if it wins or loses. Does it mean that artificial intelligence will soon take your job? Possibly you should be more worried about that.
【1】What had Lee Se-dol thought about the competition before it started?
A. He would beat AlphaGo.
B. AlphaGo would lead the match.
C. It was hard to tell who would win.
D. AlphaGo would have some weakness.
【2】What happened in the first game of the series?
A. Mr Lee won by a very small chance.
B. AlphaGo had led for most of the match.
C. Mr Lee was beaten by AlphaGo finally.
D. AlphaGo built up a strong lead at the beginning.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “teasing out” probably mean?
A. Giving out. B. Working out.
C. Running out. D. Pointing out.
【4】The writer may agree that ______ in the future.
A. human will be killed by artificial intelligence
B. artificial intelligence will do everything for human
C. people might lose jobs because of artificial intelligence
D. artificial intelligence will be much smarter than human
