Early in my teaching career, I heard countless excuses—most of them amusing—for why students didn’t have their homework. “The dog ate it” was one of them. As time passed, I grew ___101___ of hearing “I don’t have my homework because...” So I quit accepting any excuse.
When I was ___102___ to another school, I took my straightforward attitude with me. “No excuses, no extensions!” I warned my eighth graders on the first day. When a student didn’t have the homework, I never asked why. ___103___, I sighed loudly, shook my head in disgust and recorded a zero.
One afternoon, shortly after the ___104___ bell rang, Anthony ___105___ me. “Could I talk to you a minute ” he asked shyly. “I know what you said about our homework, but I don’t want you to think I’m a slacker(懒虫) because I come to school ___106___ mine so often.”
Anthony looked up at me, and I could see that his lower lip was shaking. “It’s just that...well, my dad moved out, and my mom works at night, so I have to look after my little brothers. Sometimes they cry a lot, which makes it hard to ___107___.”
I put my hand on Anthony’s thin shoulder. “Why are you just now telling me…” I stopped in mid-sentence. I knew why. So I ___108___ the question. “Would it help if you stayed here after school and worked on it ”
He swallowed hard and ___109___.
The next day, I announced to all my students that I’d be offering an after-school study hall. Anthony was the first to ___110___. Several days later, Terrell joined him, ___111___ by twins Sandy and Randy. Before long, I had a room full of eighth graders to work on their lessons. I never asked why any of them were there, but I soon had a large ___112___ of “I don’t have my homework because...” stories. All were very ___113___. None were amusing.
The things I learned weren’t taught in college. I discovered not all kids come from homes that are safe and ___114___. Not all kids have a quiet bedroom with a desk and study light. Some don’t have a home where a parent is even around. And some kids do go to bed ___115___. Most importantly, I learned that “I’ll listen” works better than “No excuses”.

Picture yourself driving down a city street. Suddenly you see something in the middle of the road ahead. A torn paper bag, a lost shoe, or something else You'll quickly determine the actions that best fit the ___131___-what humans call having“common sense”.
However, ___132___ “obstacles” that no human would ever stop for, AI self-driving vehicles are likely to apply the brakes unexpectedly.The challenges for self-driving vehicles won’t be solved by giving them more training data or rules for what to do in unusual situations. To be trustworthy, these vehicles need common sense to solve the object-in-the-road problem: broad ___133___ about the properties of objects and an ability to ___134___ adapt that knowledge in new circumstances. You can predict, ___135___, that while a pile of glass on the road won’t flyaway as you approach, birds likely will. From this ___136___ the term “common sense” seems to ___137___ exactly what current AI systems cannot do.Their lack of a ___138___ of commonsense makes them susceptible to unpredictable errors, which humans will never make.
Today’s AI systems use neural networks, algorithms(算法) trained to spot patterns, based on data gathered from extensive collections of human-labeled examples.This ___139___ is very different from how humans learn. We humans seem to come into the world with inborn knowledge of certain basic concepts--including the ideas of objects and events and the nature of space. We aren’t even ____140____ that we have it, or that it forms the basis for all future learning. A big lesson from decades of AI research is how hard it is to teach such ____141____ to machines.
The history of planting common sense in AI systems has largely focused on cataloging human knowledge: manually programming and ____142____ stereotyped(模式化的)situations. But all such attempts face a possibly fatal ____143____. Much of our instinctive knowledge is unwritten,unspoken,and not even in our conscious awareness.
A US AI research agency recently launched a programme. It challenges researchers to create an AI system that learns from “experience” in order to acquire the cognitive abilities of an 18-month-old baby. It might seem strange that ____144____ a baby is considered a grand challenge for AI, but this reflects the gulf between AI's success in specific fields and more general intelligence. If we can figure out how to get our machines to learn like children, perhaps after some years, these young “commonsense agents” will finally become teenagers--ones who are sufficiently sensible to be ____145____ with the car keys.

I've always loved mountaineering (登山) and the mental and physical challenges that go with it. This time the peak (山峰) of Mt. Whitney is my ___146___. There are quite a few ways up to the big mountain, but we ___147___ the traditional one at last, almost 12 miles to the top.
I decided to make this trip less about ___148___ and more about the climb and my personal journey with a friend. Thinking about it this way, I decided to carry only one camera to ___149___ the course, but it still added 3.2 pounds to my backpack, which ___150___ 2.8 pounds without the camera equipment.

And that’s the joy that comes with climbing Mt. Whitney as well.
Like any other ___158___ in nature, there are risks in mountaineering, though, Extreme altitude and the unpredictable (无法预测的) weather will test even the most ___159___ climber. Despite the fact, mountaineering for me is all about the experiences, which makes me live to the ___160___.

Three years ago，I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department，which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity. During the two days，students are separated in different groups which __176__different countries to debate and try to solve problems. MUN has __177__ awards：best delegates(代表)，honorary mentions，and verbal mentions.
Each time I participate in MUN，I made good __178__ and undoubtedly got a few awards. But I often felt as if I’d _179_ because I had never won the best delegate award. I _180_those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times，and I was just filled with _181_ at their success. But later I realized that it was also _182_ not to get the award because I could actually __183__ something，and that I shouldn’t _184_ the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be.
Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a _185_. Any failure can be regarded as a(n) _186_ because you can always learn something from it and do _187_ next time. This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views：knowledge and ability are learned from our _188_. That’s true. If I make a mistake in the life practice，then I probably won’t _189_ that next time. I believe this is _190_ the best way to become better.

Technology is connecting us in ways never seen before in human history. How will that change our societies, our relationships, ourselves
That’s the question that ____271____ Michael Wesch. The last time communications technology had such a wide-ranging impact was 500 years ago with the invention of the printing press. Being able to print texts instead of writing them by hand ____272____ the world. It changed the way people could communicate with each other. Suddenly, multiple copies of books could be made quickly and easily. As more books became ____273____, ideas spread much more rapidly. But what will be the impact of digital technology, the most powerful ____274____ tool we have ever seen
Michael Wesch argues that communication is ____275____ to our relationships, so it follows that a change in the way we communicate will change those relationships. Wesch, a university professor, explores digital communication in his work. ____276____, Wesch and his students look at social networking and other interactive Internet tools like YouTube. When people create and share personal videos on YouTube, anyone anywhere can watch them. Wesch says that this ____277____ some people feeling a sort of deep connection with the entire world. But it’s not a ____278____ relationship; it’s not the same as the connection you feel with a member of your family. In fact, as Wesch says, it’s a relationship without any real ____279____ that you can turn off at any moment. So does it make sense to talk about a YouTube “community”
Wesch himself ____280____ the impact of digital media when he created and posted his own short video on YouTube. It attracted immediate attention and has been viewed millions of times. In his video, he tells us that webpages get 100 billion hits a day and that a new blog is started every half second. He asks us to ____281____ the power of this technology and how we use it. What could we do with it What is its potential
____282____ the university, in the real world, Wesch believes it’s crucial for people to be able to use the new environment of digital media for the greatest possible impact. “It’s the ____283____ of our times that we are now so connected we fail to see it. I want to believe that technology can help us see relationships and global connections in ____284____ new ways. It’s pretty amazing that I have this little box sitting on my desk through which I can talk to any one of a billion people. And yet do any of us really ____285____ all the potential that’s there

TikTok, a social media app dedicated to short-form videos, has emerged as a major firer of food trends — from mushroom coffee and pancake cereal to cloud bread and feta pasta. But another trend, the #whatieatinaday trend, is dominating TikTok, which is nearing 9 billion ____286____.
Even though #whatieatinaday posts may be ____287____ to serve as healthy inspiration for others, there’s a growing feeling that these video diaries of daily eats will likely do more harm than good — especially among young girls or people with a history of disordered eating.
The ____288____ message these posts send is that if you eat like them, then you can eventually look like them. Yet what someone else eats in a day doesn’t mean it’s right for you, since these “____289____” videos are not a completely accurate representation of what someone typically eats.
Often the overly stylized (程式化) meals do not ____290____ a nutritionally adequate diet. The posts are ____291____ the illusion (幻想) of an ideal day of eating, along with an ideal body size.
Younger audiences, especially girls and young women, internalize the message that they must eat like these creators to achieve and maintain not only health, but also social ____292____. The biggest harm with this trend is that it normalizes disordered or ____293____ eating behaviors. This could prevent someone struggling with an eating disorder from ____294____ support or treatment.
Even if the #whatieatinaday posts are displaying a ______295______ day of eating, the subtext message of “eat like me, and you will look like me” is harmful because people will not necessarily achieve the same body size as the ______296______ even if they copied their day of eating bite for bite.
______297______, what might be a healthy, adequate day of satisfying meals for one person may be inadequate and unsatisfying to another. Even worse, someone looking at these posts may conclude that they need to be eating half as much to ______298______.
People making these videos are overwhelmingly thin, young, able-bodied and white. There is a complete lack of body ______299______. And this encourages harmful comparisons to unrealistic body standards that are ______300______ to the vast majority of people. Therefore, those of us from marginalized communities are once again unable to see positive representations of our varying bodies, foods and cultural representation in these harmful posts.”

The note____308____: “Return this paper to George Morrow.” I was so excited to have found it.
We made sure to keep the paper safe. Before leaving the harbor, I posted a picture on my Facebook page and didn’t expect what followed.
The next morning, my phone ____309____ with messages. While I was driving home, I got a phone call from Michele Primeau. She told me she was George Morrow’s daughter.

Finally we reached our ____353____. There the small room I shared with my daughter was a brick cell, full of crickets (蟋蟀), but too dark to see them.
It didn’t matter. The next nine days were ____354____. Waterfalls, lakes, community visits, and a trip around Katherine Gorge where we even saw giant crocodiles!
On our last night, a water pipe (管子) ____355____. We awoke to a mess, everything in water. Usually I would have ____356____, but it just seemed ____357____ to be dirty.
Indeed, it was ____358____ to stay clean. We were hiking in red dirt with temperatures of 35 degrees. Still, I felt a kind of energy I hadn’t ____359____ in years.

From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first ____376____, they were like newborn children, unable to use this ____377____tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for humankind’s future attainments and cultural growth increased.
Many linguists believe that evolution is ____378____for our ability to produce and use language. They claim that our highly evolved brain provides us with innate language ability not found in lower ____379____. Proponents of this innateness theory say that our ____380____ for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, ____381____a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore, there are critical ____382____times for language development.
Current ____383____of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. ____384____, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in the lower grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being exposed to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the ____385____of their first language have become firmly fixed.
Although some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been isolated from other human beings do not ____386____language. This demonstrates that interaction with other human beings is necessary for ____387____language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language ____388____than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as ____389____, learned behavior. ____390____, children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.

This era of “Industry 4. 0” is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the capabilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low-cost and high-power computers, high-speed communication and artificial intelligence. This will produce smarter robots with better sensing and communication abilities that can ____391____ different tasks, and even adjust their work to meet demand without the input of humans.
In the manufacturing industry, where robots have arguably made the most headway of any division, this will mean a(n) ____392____ shift from centralized to decentralized cooperative production. ____393____ robots focused on single, fixed, high - speed operations and required a highly skilled human workforce to operate and maintain them. Industry 4. 0 machines are flexible, cooperative and can operate more independently which ____394____ removes the need for a highly skilled workforce.
For large-scale manufacturers, Industry 4. 0 means their robots will be able to sense their environment and communicate in an industrial network that can be run and ____395____ remotely. Each machine will produce large amounts of data that can be ____396____ studied using what is known as “big data” analysis. This will help ____397____ ways to improve operating performance and production quality across the whole plat, for example by better predicting when repairing is needed and automatically ____398____ it.
For ____399____ manufacturing businesses, Industry 4. 0 will make it cheaper and easier to use robots. It will create machines that can be rearranged to perform _____400_____ jobs and adjusted to work on a more diverse product range and different production volumes. This part is already beginning to benefit from robots designed to cooperate with human workers and analyse their own work to look for _____401_____.
While these machines are getting smarter, they are still not as smart as us. Today's industrial artificial intelligence operates at a _____402_____ level, whi
