24、 Programming Pain
Robots are useful and taking place of humans in some areas because they never get tired and can't feel pain. However, some researchers believe it's a good idea to program robots to feel pain.
Researchers from Leibniz University of Hannover in Germany are working to develop an artificial(人造的)robot nervous system to teach robots how to feel pain. "Pain is a system that protects us," said Johannes Kuehn, one of the researchers. "When we try to avoid the pain, it helps us not get hurt.”
Think about how many injuries you would receive if you couldn't feel pain. Even though pain hurts, it helps us avoid danger and treat our wounds. The same will be true for robots. As a great number of people work closely with robots, the robots must behave in a safer manner. Kuehn believes that by protecting robots from damage(伤害),they'll be protecting people as well. Damage,to robots if left unseen could lead to workplace accidents.
Rather than feel pain, some robots are designed to show pain or see it in others. Asada, an engineer at Osaka University in Japan, and his workmates have made sensors (传感器)that pick up many types of touch signals(信号).These touch and pain signals can turn into emotions and expressions on a robot’s face. Asada believes that these systems could finally lead to robots seeing the pain on human faces, an important skill for robots designed to care for elderly people, for example.
Antonio Damasio, a professor at the University of Southern California, argues that programming robots with a sense of pain may cause an artificial sense of feeling to develop. But he says that this communication is not the same thing as a robot truly feeling and expressing emotions or pain. If one day, robots could actually feel as humans do, Damasio has a suggestion for the number one rule for robots: Feel good.
【1】What does the word in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The feeling of pain. B.The injury we receive.
C.An artificial system. D.A new kind of robot.
【2】Which is the right process to show and see the pain?
① Turn signals into expressions.
② Notice pain on human faces.
③ Make some sensors.
④ Pick up touch signals.
A.③④①② B.③①②④ C.②③①④ D.②④①③
【3】What can express Antonio Damasio's attitude(态度)about the program?
A.Hopeless B.Opposite C.Expected D.Worried
【4】The aim of programming robots to feel pain is ________
A.to take place of humans B.to avoid human accidents
C.to control robots completely D.to serve humans better

26、 Yesterday, I met a delightful woman at a work event. As we talked, she talked about her childhood in Manila, Philippines. She spoke about the way her culture values their elders, and she explained that children are educated from the time of birth to honor and respect people older than themselves.
It was refreshing (使振作) to hear that, and I enjoyed listening and learning. Here is the memory she shared that I found, so beautiful:
When she was growing up, her father had three jobs to care for his family. She said her dad never complained, and though he worked very hard, he always had time for them. One day, her father was injured at his full-time job. For several months, he was mailed temporary (暂时的) disability checks(支票) while he recovered.
When her father was able to return to his full-time job, he took all those disability checks that were sent to him while he was recovering and handed them back to the company. He told them that he had two good legs and arms, and did not need this money. He told them to give the money to people who could not work, to people who really needed it.
The woman telling the story was a little girl at that time. She had accompanied her father that very day when he went back to his company with all those unopened checks.
"My father is my hero," she remarked. Lowering her voice, she said she would never forget what he did, and what an inspiration and influential mentor he was on how to live life. From my communication with her, it was very obvious that her father's same sweet spirit had been passed down to this woman, and to her family.
Hearing this story was so refreshing to my soul. I hope it is the same to you too.

27、 In their last moments before the flight took off, I heard a father saying to his daughter, “I love you. I wish you enough.” The daughter said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too.” They kissed goodbye and the daughter left. I could see the father was very sad.
Suddenly the father walked towards me and asked me, “Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it might be the last time?”
His words made me think of my father. Realizing that my father’s days were limited (有限的), I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I understood what this father was experiencing.
“Yes, I did,” I answered. “But why is this a last goodbye?”
“I am old and my daughter lives much too far away. Maybe her next trip back will be for my funeral (葬礼),” he said.
“When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. What does that mean?”
He began to smile. “My parents said it to me before. When we say ‘I wish you enough’, we want the other person to have a life filled with enough good things.” He stopped for a moment and continued, “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude (观点) bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate (欣赏) the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger ... I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you through the final ‘Goodbye’”.
He then said goodbye to me and walked away.

29、 I recently watched my sister perform an act of magic.
We were sitting in a restaurant, try to have a conversation, but her children, four﹣year﹣old Willow and seven﹣year﹣old Luca, would not stop fighting. The____﹣over a fork, or who had more water in a glass﹣never stopped.
Like a magician who makes a group of children quiet by pulling a rabbit out of a hat, my sister reached into her purse and look out two shiny Apple iPads, handing one to each child. Suddenly, the two were quiet. They sat playing games and watching videos, and we ____with our conversation.
After our meal, as we put the iPads back into their magic bag, my sister felt a bit____.
" I don't want to give them the iPads at the dinner table, but if it keeps them busy for an hour so we can eat in peace, and___, not disturb other people in the restaurant, I often just give it to them," she told me. Then she asked: "Do you think it's bad for them? I do worry that it is making them think it's OK to use electronics at the dinner table in the future."
I did not have an answer, and____ some people might have opinions, no one has a true scientific understanding of what the future might be for a generation raised on screens. Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center says we do know that the brain is highly sensitive to stimuli (刺激),like iPads and smartphone screen, and if people spend too much time with one technology, and less time acting together with people like parents at the dinner table, that could make it difficult to develop their communicative skills.
