A scientist said robots will be more intelligent than humans by 2029. The scientist's name is Ray Kurzweil. He works for Google as Director of Engineering. He is one of the world‘s leading experts on (1) intelligence (A.l). Mr Kurzweil believes computers will be able to learn from experiences, just like humans. He also thinks they will be able to tell jokes and stories, and even flirt. Kurzweil‘s 2029 prediction is a lot sooner than many people thought. The scientist said that in 1999, many A.I. experts said it would be hundreds of years (2) a computer was more intelligent than a human. He said that it would not be long before computer (3) is one billion times more powerful than the human brain. Mr Kurzweil joked that many years ago, people thought he was a little crazy for predicting computers would be as intelligent as humans. His thinking has stayed the same but everyone else has changed the way they think. He said: “My views are not radical any more. I've actually stayed (4) . It's the rest of the world that's changing its View.” He highlighted examples of high-tech things we use, see or read about every day. These things make us believe that computers have intelligence. He said people think differently now: "Because the public has seen things like Siri (the iPhone’s voice-recognition technology) (5) you talk to a computer, they've seen the Google self-driving cars."

As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researches havebecome increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors (1) trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and life in the fast lane have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart (2) . But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising. Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week. (3) , people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after walking. Cardiologists first observed this morning (4) in the mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart (5) hormones, plus a reduction ofblood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence ofheart attacks between the hours of 8:00 AM. and 10:00 AM.

Why is text messaging so popular, especially with young people? There are two main reasons. One is cost, as many teenagers have to use pay-as-you-go mobile tariffs (1) of contracts, and so it is cheaper to send a text message than make a voice call. So texters get better value of (2) . But there is a second, less practical reason for its popularity. A generation is growing up happy to communicate mostly by text, and this new form of instant communication is even more relaxed and informal than either email or phone calls. Text messaging has created a completely new language, (3) of abbreviations and unusual spellings. It is a language that is not understood by adults, even though they can buy special dictionaries explaining it, and it has opened up a huge generation (4) between teenagers and their parents. For teenagers, text is convenient and quick, but it confuses parents. Text messaging is a teenage response to grown up technology and provide young people with a means of communicating that is always accessible. It is also something (5) they can call their own, and in spite of some concern in the teaching profession that literacy skills are being lost text messaging is a form of communication that is certainly here to stay.

It is much more beneficial to listen to the voice inside yourself rather than the berating (4) of others. We rely on others far more than it is necessary. People put their happiness in the hands of a significant other, thinking this will bring them fulfillment. This is a fatal error too many people make these days. Do you always want to feel dependent on someone else? Of course not. Not only are you limiting yourself, you are more than likely becoming a burden to this person.

In recent years, the WTO has also made it a priority to assist developing nations as they come under WTO regulation. Many developing countries and emerging markets lack the experience and technical expertise needed to deal with large and very comprehensive trade agreements. The WTO provides them with critical training and support, (1) ensuring that the WTO is inclusive and equitable toward both the wealthiest and the poorest nations in the world. Part of the nondiscrimination mandate of the WTO is most-favored-nation (MFN) status. Most-favored-nation status requires that a WTO member must apply the same terms and conditions to (2) with any and all other WTO members. Also, you (3) experienced a version of most-favored-nation status as a child, when an adult told you that if you were going to take gum or candy to class, you had to bring enough for everyone. One of the other key elements to the success of the WTO is its transparency requirement. WTO members are required to publish their trade regulations and follow a system that allows all external parties ( 4 ) will review and evaluate any administrative decisions and their impact on trade regulations. When a WTO nation changes its trade policies, those changes must be reported to the WTO. Overall, the WTO's mission is to improve the stability and (5) of global trade. As a result, it tends to support free-trade, as opposed to protectionist, policies, and strongly discourages the use of quotas and other such restrictions on imports.

Japan's Mount Fuji will become a World Heritage Site in June. The United Nations (U.N.) decided on April the 30th to give the famous mountain UNESCO World Heritage (1) . The U.N. team (2) made the decision said Fuji was very important to Japanese religion and art. They also said that the 3,776-meter-high volcano was important outside of Japan too. Fuji-san (as Japanese people call it) has been a mountain for more than 1,000 years. Priests say that when you climb it, you move from the "everyday world" at the bottom, to the "world of gods, Buddha and death" at the top. They believe people can (3) their sins by climbing to the top and coming back down again. (4) Mount Fuji is a major tourist destination. It is very popular with hikers, who want to see the rising sun from its peak. More than 318,000 hikers visited the mountain last summer, with up to 15,000 people climbing each day. Local residents are now worried the World Heritage status will mean more visitors. That means there will be more litter and environmental problems. The local government may ask people to pay to climb the mountain to help preserve its (5) . Governor Shomei Yokouchi said: "It's likely we'll ask mountain climbers to help financially with keeping the mountain clean." Another idea being talked about is to limit the daily number of hikers allowed to the top.

(1) in the past scientists have looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life, these days they are investigating genetics. One such researcher is Eric Topol, who says, “There must be genes that explain why these individuals are p r o t e c t e d f r o m t h e a g i n g ( 2 ) _.” The new research into long life looks at groups of people who have a genetic connection. For example, one group of interest lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number of people with the same ( 3 ) _______ condition. i t ' s called Laron syndrome. The condition mea ns that they don't grow to more than about one metre, but it also seems to give them protection (4) _______ cancer and diabetes. As a result, they live longer than other people in 157 their families. Meanwhile, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there’s another group of long-lived men, japanese-Americans. They have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group. Back in Calabria, scientists are trying to work out exactly how much of the longevity is due to genetics and how much to environment. By checking public records going back to the 19th century, researchers have reconstructed the family trees of 202 nonagenarians and centenarians. They (5) _______ that there were genetic factors involved. (Source: Question 1: A. While B. if C. When D.

A (1) teacher can reach thousands of students in an online course, opening up a world of knowledge to anyone with an internet connection. This limitless reach also offers substantial benefits for school districts that need to save money, by reducing the number of teachers. (2) , in high schools and colleges, there is mounting evidence that the growth of online education is hurting a critical group: the less proficient students (3) are precisely those most in need of skilled classroom teachers. Online courses can be broken down into several categories, and some are more effective than others. In "blended” courses, for example, students don’t do their work only online: They also spend time in a classroom with a flesh-and-blood teacher. Research suggests that students - at nearly all levels of achievement - do just as well in these blended classes as they do in traditional classrooms. In this model, online resources supplement traditional instruction but don’t replace it. In the fully online model, on the other hand, a student may never be in the same room with an instructor. This category is the main problem. It is where less proficient students tend to 4) trouble. After all, taking a class without a teacher requires high levels of self-motivation, self-regulation and organization. Yet, in high schools across the country, students who are struggling in (5) classrooms are increasingly steered into online courses. Question 1: A. single B. lonely C. alone D. married Question 2: A.

As William Chopik, associate professor of psychology and author of the study says: “Friends are a conscious choice. Family relationships can be serious, negative and monotonous." The research included two studies - one a broad survey of nearly 300,000 people, aged between 15 and 99, from more than 90 countries. This study found that those (1) ______valued friendships highly were healthier and happier (according to their own reports), especially as they got older. The second study used data from a US survey of 7,481 people over 50. Subjects were questioned about the quality of their friendships - how much friends understood them and how much they let them down. When friendships were reported as being stressful, people reported (2) ______ rates of disease. When friends were supportive, people were healthier. Most of the friendships were reported as being supportive. Family, (3) ______, were found to have little influence on an individual's health and wellbeing. Spouses and children had some effect, but not as much as friends. Chopik says he isn't suggesting we ignore our families, but that friends make us feel better. With friends you are more likely ( 4) ______do activities - they provide an outlet. You can say things to friends and they are less judgmental. There is a distance there that provides a level of honesty." He says that cultivating good-quality friendships across our lives is beneficial - raising self-esteem and (5) ______against stress.

The bad news in the lune jobs numbers, released Friday, is also the good news. The unemployment rate rose to 4 percent last month, from 3.8 percent, which in many contexts would be reason to worry (1) a softening economy. But the details of this particular jump in the jobless rate actually imply good things for the economy. The labor force rose by 601,000 people last month, driving the proportion of the civilian adult population that is either working or looking for work up by 0.2 percentage points, to 62.9 percent. The unemployment rate rose because not all of the people looking for work found it immediately. That suggested they were ready and willing to (2) the jobs that employers have kept creating at a healthy rate — an additional 213,000 positions in June alone. The month-to-month swings in the size of the labor force can be large because of (3) error. So this may prove to be a random blip that is erased as more data become available. But taken at face value, it’s a sign that the hot job market is succeeding at pulling people off the sidelines and into the work force.

The Violin has been in existence since about 1550. Its importance as an instrument in its own right dates (1) the early 1600's, when it first became standard in Italian opera orchestras. Its stature as an orchestral instrument was (2) further when in 1626 Louis XIII of France established at his court the orchestra known as Les vinq-quatre violons du Roy (The King's 24 Violins), which was to become widely famous later in the century. In its early history, the violin had a dull and rather quiet tone resulting from the fact that the strings were thick and were attached to the body of the instrument very loosely. During the eighteenth and nineteenth century, exciting technical changes were inspired by such composer-violinists as Vivaldi and Tartini. Their (3) compositions demanded a fuller, clearer, and more brilliant tone that was produced by using thinner strings and a far higher string tension. Small changes had to be (4) to the Violin’s internal structure and to the fingerboard so that they could withstand the extra strain. (5) , a higher standard of performance was achieved, in terms of both facility and interpretation. Left-hand technique was considerably elaborated, and new fingering patterns on the fingerboard were developed for very high notes.
