Mathematician

a

on
the
ability
of
machines
to
show
human-like
puter
scientist,
John
McCarthy
coined
the
term
“artificial

Shakey,
the

The

What
can
you
learn
from
the
timeline?
From
the
timeline,
we
can
learn
that
AI
technology
has
developed
greatly,
and
can
now
outperform
humans
in
some
aspects.

We
all
need
to
learn
to
live
with
AI
technology
whether
we
like
it
or
are
concerned
about
it.
We
cannot
stop
the
march
of
progress.
I
admit
that
more
advanced
AI
could
be
helpful
in
solving
the
world’s
problems,
but
there
is
a
high
level
of
risk
involved.
I
can’t
understand
why
some
people
worry
so
much.
I
hope
more
breakthroughs
in
AI
will
be
made
soon,
so
that
we
can
enjoy
more
and
more
convenience.

What
did
Stephen
Hawking
mean
when
he
said
that
AI
will
be
“either
the
best,
or
the
worst
thing,
ever
to
happen
to
humanity”?
He
meant
that
AI
could
bring
us
incredible
benefits,
but
only
if
the
technology
is
managed
properly.
If
we
do
not
manage
the
technology
properly,
it
could
result
in
human
extinction.

Making

about
a

What
will
the
cities
of
the
future
look
like?
With
advances
in
science
and
technology,
cities
are
developing
fast.
At
the
same
time,
we
are
also
facing
challenges,
such
as
booming
populations
and
climate
change.
How
can
we
design
cities
that
will
support
ever-increasing
populations?
And
how
can
we
make
those
cities
pleasant
places
to
live
in?
Investigate
1
Do
research
online
or
in
the
library
to
find
out
about
the
key
features
of
a
city,
including
its
location,
size,
industry,
transport,
etc.

Think
about
the
problems
cities
today
are
facing.

Find
depictions
of

cities
in
science

novels,

and
other

What

Where
is
your

located,
on
land,
in

or
in

How

How

Look
at
the
sentences
from
the

passage
and
answer
the
questions.

…50

Activity
1
Look
at
the
sentences
from
the
reading
passage
and
answer
the
questions.
Because
in
sentence
(a),
the
part
“50
per
cent”
is
followed
by
the
uncountable
noun
“time”,
while
in
sentence
(c),
the
part
“50
per
cent”
is
followed
by
the
countable
noun
“job”
in
its
plural
form.
In
sentence
(b),
the
part
“Every
recommendation”
is
the
subject.
In
sentence
(d),
the
part
“none
of
us”
is
the
subject.
Both
are
singular.
1
Why
is
50
per
cent
singular
in
sentence
(a)
but
plural
in
sentence
(c)?
2
What
are
the
subjects
in
sentences
(b)
and
(d)?
Are
they
singular
or
plural?
Activity

Now
look
for
more
sentences

this
rule
in
the
reading
passage,
and
summarise
the
use
of
subject-verb

in
your
own
words.

Complete
the
passage
by
choosing
the
singular

form.

get
a

from
Earth.
They

to
give
it
to
Jimmy
as
a
pet.
But…
Jimmy
already
has
a
robot
pet
named
Robutt.
His
parents
think
it
would
be
good
for
Jimmy
to
have
a
real
dog,
and
that
he
would
like
it.
They
want
to
send
Robutt
to
another
family.
To
his
parents’
surprise,
Jimmy
refuses
to
accept
the
real
dog,
because
he
loves
Robutt
and
he
believes
Robutt
loves
him
too.
For
Jimmy,
Robutt
is
not
just
a
mechanical
dog,
but
a
real
friend.

The
two
reading
passages
in
this
unit
show
us
different
aspects
of
technology
in
the
future.
Which
of
these
do
you
most
expect
to
encounter
in
your
lifetime?
Yes,
there
is.
At
the
beginning
of
the
story,
we
know
Jimmy
has
never
seen
a
real
dog.
It
also
seems
that
he
spends
a
lot
of
time
with
Robutt.
Jimmy
plays
with
Robutt
enthusiastically,
shouting
“Come
on,
Robutt”.
In
the
middle
of
the
passage,
we
are
told
that
“Jimmy
couldn’t
go
wrong
while
Robutt
was
around”,
indicating
that
Robutt
protects
Jimmy
well.

Answer
the
questions
to
help
to
form
your
point
of
view.
?
Why
do
Jimmy
and
his
parents
have
different
feelings
towards
Robutt?
?
If
you
were
Jimmy,
which
one
would
you
choose,
Robutt
or
a
real
dog?
Because
Jimmy
was
born
on
the
Moon,
he
has
never
seen
a
real
dog.
He
has
been
getting
along
well
with
Robutt,
and
thus
has
developed
an
affection
for
him.
He
cannot
figure
out
why
a
real
dog
is
better
than
a
mechanical
dog,
despite
his
father’s
explanation.
While
Jimmy’s
parents
have
seen
real
dogs
before
they
left
Earth.
They
know
what
real
dogs
look
like.
They
think
Robutt
is
just
a
machine.

参考范文
Carolyn
had
a
long
commute
to
the
prison,
even
by
aircar.
When
she
arrived,
everything
seemed
normal,
except
for
a
robot
lying
at
the
front
gate,
motionless.
It’s
an
old
model,
she
thought.
They
broke
down
now
and
again.
She
passed
through
the
gate,
noting
that
everything
else
was
apparently
in
order.
But
just
as
she
closed
her
office
door
behind
her,
a
loud
alarm
sounded.
Carolyn’s
blood
froze.
She
had
only
ever
heard
that
sound
during
drills.
It
can’t
be!
she
thought.
A
general
systems
failure!
She
looked
out
of
the
reinforced
glass
of
her
office
window
into
the
prison
below.
Sure
enough,
the
robots
were
out
of
control.
Most
had
stopped
moving
at
all.
Some
spun
aimlessly
around
and
around.
But
others
were
randomly
operating
things,
including
the
cell
gates,
and
she
could
see
prisoners
rushing
out
to
freedom.
“Grab
the
robots’
weapons
and
run!”
shouted
the
prisoners.
Carolyn
opened
her
bag
and
reached
for
her
emergency
call
device.
Her
heart
sank
as
she
realised
she
had
left
it
at
home.
I
need
to
call
in
the
police,
she
thought.
But
how?
Without
the
device,
she
couldn’t
communicate.
Nothing
in
the
prison
would
work
properly
now.
There
was
a
voice
behind
her.
“Looking
for
one
of
these?”
Carolyn
gasped.
“Julius!”
There
was
her
secondin-command,
holding
an
emergency
caller
in
his
hand.
“What
are
you
doing
in
my
office?”
“It
should
be
my
office!”
snarled
Julius.
“I’ve
worked
here
for
forty
years…
and
the
City
Commissioners
gave
you
the
job
as
prison
governor!
But
now
you’ll
pay.
You’ll
all
pay!
I?can
make
every
robot
in
every
prison
in
the
city
go
crazy.
The
prisoners
will
escape,
and
the
city
will
burn!”
Then
the
door
burst
open,
and
the
room
was
suddenly
flooded
with
riot
police.
And
there
was…
Todd!
“I
took
the
aircar
over
here
to
bring
you
this,”
he
said
quietly,
winking
as
he
pushed
the
emergency
call
device
secretly
into
her
hands.
“I
could
see
there
was
trouble,
so
I
activated
it
to
call
in
the
police.”
“It
was
Julius,”
said
Carolyn,
watching
the
police
bundle
Julius
out
of
the
door.
“He’s
gone
mad.”
“Sure,”
said
Todd.
“But
now
we
know
how
easy
it
is
to
cause
a
mass
robot
breakdown.
You’ll
have
to
write
a
report.
Make
some
recommendations
to
upgrade
the
robots.”
“I
know.”
Carolyn
slid
from
Todd’s
hug
and
walked
towards
the
door.
She
could
see
the
police
rounding
up
the
prisoners.
“But
right
now,
I’ve
got
a
prison
to
run.”
