USA TODAYS picks for book lovers include Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan and a newly discovered fairy tale by Mark Twain and Philip.Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan:
26、Scribner. 433 pp.; fictionThe novel is set in New York during World War II, where a young woman named Anna Kerrigan works at the Brooklyn Naval Yard. She has a difficult life but a vision, too. From her window she can see the Navys divers, and her soul leaps toward them she wants to dive.The novels
27、second major character is Annas fathers boss Dexter Styles, a dashing nightclub owner. By his marriage and foresight he has managed to go mostly clean. When his path crosses Annas, though, that ambition comes into doubt.USA TODAY says out of four stars. “Egan has every gift a writer can possess.”The

What can we learn about The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine?A. It is intended for readers of all age groups.B. U is rated four stars by contrib
31、uting reviewers.C. It is about the adventures of an unfortunate boy.D. It is centred around Mark Twains sad childhood.BScientists have discovered how the “wiring” of in-built sat-navs in bees brains helps them plot the most direct route back to their hive.The researchers have found that a complex ne
32、twork of neurons integrates (整合) every detail of the outbound journeys, helping bees to return directly home.While it has long been known that bees use their vision to navigate (导航), until now little is known about what happens inside their tiny brains as they perform this task. Now, researchers fro
33、m the University of Edinburgh have discovered neurons (神经元) that detect speed and direction to help guide bees home. The neurons are located in a part of the insect brain called the central complex. Scientists have found this region plays a key role in controlling the navigation system, which is use
34、d by many animals, including bees, ants and humans. These cells are used to add up all elements of the outbound journey, creating a memory that bees use to fly home by the most direct route, researchers say.The researchers have discovered the complex workings of the system by studying the brains of
35、nocturnal (夜间的) rainforest bees. They monitored nerve function by attaching tiny electrodes (电极) to bees heads as the insects were shown virtual reality simulations (模拟) of what they see when flying forward or rotating.Their results, together with microscope studies of how the nerve cells are connec
36、ted, were used to develop a detailed computer model of the bees brain. The model was tested on a simulated bee and on a robot.The findings could lead to the development of new algorithms (算法) for navigation in autonomous robots that do not require GPS or expensive computer systems.Professor Barbara
37、Webb, lead author of the study said: “The most exciting pan of this research was when computer modelling of connections between nerve cells revealed the elegant principle by which bees keep track of their position and steer back home. Understanding such a complex behaviour at the level of single neu
38、rons is an important step forward for the science of brain function.”58. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 refers to “ ”.A. built-in satellite navigation fixed by scientistsB. built-in direct routes plotted by scientistsC. inborn complex network of bees neuronsD. inborn models of bees speed and pos
39、ition59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Previous studies have shown that bees use sight navigation to fly back to their hive.B. The complex network of neurons integrates every detail of journeys leaving a place.C. The computer model based on the studies wa
40、s tested both on a real bee and a robot.D. The research was done by monitoring nerve function of nocturnal rainforest bees.60. The findings of the research on bees could probably .A. further the microscope studies of cellsB. push forward the science of brain functionC. contribute to the test compute
41、r models of beesD. promote the study of other insects in the rainforestCGiven bow valuable intelligence and automation (自动化) are, we will continue to improve our technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that a
42、re smarter than we are, they will begin to improve themselves. And then we risk what the mathematician IJ Good called an intelligence explosion”. The process could get out of control.The concern is really that we will build machines that arc much more competent than we are. And the slightest diverge
43、nce (分歧) between their goals and our own could destroy us.Just think about how we relate to ants. We dont hate them. We dont go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one
44、of our goals, we will kill them without hesitation. The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether theyre conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines. We have problems that we desperately need to
45、 solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of the station, and theres no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely develop in ways that we cant imagine, and exceed us in ways that we cant imagine.So imagine we hit upon a des
46、ign of superintelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This machine would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build the machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw materials. So were talking about the end of human
47、labour. Were also talking about the end of most intellectual work. So what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?What would some nations do if they heard that some company in Silicon Valley was about to deploy a superintelligent AI? This machine would be capable of starting war, whether
48、terrestrial or cyber, with unbelievable power.Given that the companies and governments building superintelligent AI are likely to perceive themselves as being in a race against all others, and that to win this race is to win the world, it seems likely that whatever is easier to do will get done firs
49、t unless it is destroyed in the next moment.But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, we have to admit that we are in the process of building some son of god. Now would be a good time to make sure its a god we can live with.61. What message does Paragraph 3 c
50、onvey?A. Intelligence and automation arc very valuable.B. The improved machines will get away from us.C. The presence of machines does conflict with our goals.D. Future intelligent machines could treat us without mercy.62. Which of the following sayings has similar meaning with the underlined senten
51、ce in Paragraph 4?A. Time and tide wait for no man.B. Rome wasnt built in a day.C. Tomorrow is another day.D. Shot arrows will not come back.63. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making comparisons.B. By giving assumptions.C. By showing valid evidence.D. By analyzing statistics.64. Which of
52、the following statements can best summarize the authors viewpoint towards AI?A. Human beings will no doubt be destroyed by AI in the future.B. Superintelligent AI will put an end to human labour eventually.C. We should keep the development of AI within humans control.D. Human beings should stop the
53、development of superintelligent AI.DCraig Smallwood, a disabled American war veteran, spent more than 20,000 hours over five years playing an online role-playing game called “Lineage ”. When NCsoft, the South Korean firm behind the game, accused him of breaking the games rules and banned him, he was
54、 plunged into depression. After he spent three weeks in hospital, he accused NCsoft of fraud and negligence (疏忽), demanding over $ 9,000,000 in damages and claiming that the company acted negligently by failing to warn him of the danger that he would become “addicted” to the game.But does it make se
55、nse to talk of addiction lo online activity? Mental-health specialists say some online behaviors can become problematic for many people, such as video games and messaging via e-mail and social networks. But there is far less agreement about whether any of this should be called “Internet addiction”-o
56、r how to treat it.Skeptics say there is nothing uniquely addictive about the Internet. Back in 2000 Joseph Walther, a communications professor at Michigan State University, co-wrote an article in which he suggested, tongue in check, that the criteria used to call someone an Internet addict might als
57、o show that most professors were “addicted” to academia. He argued that other factors, such as depression, are the real problem. He stands by that view today. “No scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that Internet use is a cause rather than a consequence of some other son of issue,” he says. “
58、Focusing on and treating people for Internet addiction, rather than looking for underlying (潜在的) clinical issues, is unwise.”Others disagree. “That would be wrong,” says Kimberly Young, a researcher and therapist who has worked on Internet addiction since 1994. She insists that the Internet, with it
59、s powerfully immersive environments, creates new problems that people must learn to tackle.No one disputes that online habits can turn toxic (有毒的). Take South Korea, where widespread broadband means that the average high-school student can play video games for 23 hours each week. In 2007 the governm
60、ent estimated that around 210,000 children needed treatment for Internet addiction. And several South Korean men have died from exhaustion after marathon, multi-day gaming sessions. The South Korea government has recently asked game developers to adopt a gaming curfew (宵禁) for children, to prevent t
61、hem playing between midnight and 8 am. It has also opened more than 100 clinics for Internet addiction and sponsored an “Internet rescue camp” for serious cases.Treatment centres have popped up around the world. In 2006 Amsterdams Smith & Jones facility claimed to be “the first and, currently, the o
62、nly residential video-game treatment program in the world”. In America the reSTART Internet Addiction Recovery Program claims to treat Internet addiction and gaming addiction. In China, meanwhile, military-style “boot camps” are the preferred way to treat internet problems.But compulsive behavior is
63、 not limited to gamers. When something can be summoned in an instant via broadband, whether it is a game world or an e-mail inbox, it is harder to resist. Getting through a business lunch in which no one pulls out a phone to check their messages now counts as a minor miracle in many quarters. When o
64、nline auction sites first became popular, talk of “eBay addiction soon followed. Dr Young says women complain to her now about addiction to Facebook-or even to “Farm Ville”, a game playable only within Facebook.Yet many people like feeling permanently connected. As Arikia Millikan, an American blogg
65、er, once put it, “If I could be jacked in at every waking hour of the day. I would, and I think a lot of my peers would do the same.” Bob LaRose, an Internet specialist at Michigan State University, doesnt believe her. In his research on college students, he found that most sense when they are “goin
66、g overboard and restore self-control”. For most people, Internet use “is just a habitand one that brings us pleasure”, he adds.65. The author cites the example of Craig Smallwood to .A. criticize him for his ridiculous accusationB. warn against the online game companiesC. introduce the topic of “Int
67、ernet addiction”D. show how serious “Internet addiction” is66. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 indicates that Joseph Walther was .A. sincereB. jokingC. seriousD. criticizing67. According to Joseph Walther, .A. addiction to the Internet must be specially treatedB. Internet addiction JS a serious s
68、ocial phenomenonC. the Internet is a cause of many sons of medical issuesD. clinical issues behind Internet addiction should be found68. Which of the following is true about the worlds efforts to fight Internet addiction?A. The South Korea government aids organizations to treat Internet addiction.B.
69、 Amsterdam once started the world first video-game treatment program.C. Treatment centers in America have cured Internet and gaming addiction.D. Military-style camps in China prove to be the best to treat Internet problems.69. What can we infer from Paragraph 7?A. People communicate more in the virt
70、ual world than in real life.B. E-mail or web-use behaviors can also show signs of addiction.C. Websites such as eBay and Facebook are likely to cause complaints.D. Women rather than men tend to be easily addicted to the social network.70. What is the authors tone in writing this article?A. Objective

For 75 years, the Harvard Study of Adult Development have tracked the lives of 7
72、24 men, year after year, asking about their work, their home lives, their health. The lessons arent about wealth or fame or working harder and harder. The dearest message of the 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.The first lesson is that social connections are re
73、ally good for us, and that loneliness kills, it turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier. Theyre physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected. People who ore more isolated than they want to be from ot
74、hers find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, their brain functioning declines sooner and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely.And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage, so the second big lesson is that its not
75、 just the number of friends you have, and its not whether or not youre in a committed relationship, but its the quality of your close relationships that matters. It turns out that living in the midst of conflict is really bad for our health. High-conflict marriages, for example, without much affecti
76、on, turn out to be very bad for our health, perhaps worse than getting divorced. And living in the midst of good, warm relationships is protective.And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships and our health is that good relationships dont just protect our bodies, they protect our bra
77、ins. It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship to another person in your 80s is protective, that the people who are in relationships where they really feel they can count on the other person in times of need, those peoples memories slay sharper and longer.Close relationships are go
78、od for our health and well-being. This is wisdom thats as old as the hills. Why is this so hard to get and so easy to ignore? Well, were human. What wed really like is a quick fix. Relationships are messy and theyre complicated and the hard work of tending to family and friends is not sexy or glamor
79、ous. Its also lifelong. It never ends.But over and over, over these 75 years, our study has shown that the people who were most successful were those active in building social relationships, with family, with friends, with community. Socializing actively with others might be something as simple as r
80、eplacing screen time with people time or livening up a past relationship by doing something new together, long walks or date flights, or reaching out to that family member who you havent spoken to in years.Mart: Twain once wrote: “There isnt time, so brief is life, for apologies, heartburnings, call

It is predicted that the number will continue to rise and by 2020, as many as 300
90、,000 such cars will be put onto the market.Accelerating the development of car-sharing industry does have its own advantages. Not only does it provide an alternative for people to get around but it will also help to shrink the ever increasing scale of private cars. Thus, car-sharing service does its
91、 part to ease urban traffic and reduce air pollution.As to how to achieve a sustainable development for car-sharing service, here are some suggestions. On the one hand, the government should strengthen its guidance and monitoring. On the other hand, enterprises themselves should improve their online and offline service abilities, such as ensuring the safety of customers private information and building more parking lots and charging posts.
