35、al fees with his latest project- the worlds first robot lawyer. The 19-year-old first started the project last summer as a free website to help people appeal unfair parking tickets. He came up with the idea after getting a series of tickets himself for unimportant reasons. Having wasted several hour
36、s on writing appeals to these tickets, he realized that many people have no time or legal know ledge or even the energy to appeal. So he decided to create an automatic appeal generator, which he named DoNotPay.DoNotPay was a huge success, and the tech genius has now gone a step further with the webs
37、ite, converting（转变）it into a robot lawyer equipped to help with various legal issues. “The robot can currently handle parking ticket appeals and delayed flights/trains. It can also answer some general legal questions like I cant afford my ticket. What do I do?” said Browder.To use the service, users
38、 need to go to the website donotpay co. uk and sign up for free. Once signed in, the robot will ask the user a series of questions about their situation. When it has collected enough information, and if the person has legal grounds（依据）for an appeal, the robot will then generate a letter for the pers
39、on to use.Browder said he received good advice from his professors at Stanford University, where he is currently a freshman. “Initially, I thought the best way to go about it was to create lots of individual rules for it to follow,” he explained. “However, I quickly failed with this approach because
40、 there are thousands of ways to say the same thing and it would be impossible to catch every one. The breakthrough came when I learned how to create a way for the robot to learn and compare phrases itself, so that it doesnt matter how the user phrases his or her requests.”So he programmed the robot
41、to use test comparison that includes keywords, word order and pronouns. And the more people use the robot. the better the algorithm（演算法）gets. But there are situations where the robot cant help. If the robot cant answer, it provides helpful message offering the user some sample phrases or the choice
42、of contacting me directly.” Browder said, “On the backend, whenever the robot cant answer, I get notified and I work as quickly as possible to add functionality for any future requests of a similar nature.”“I think it does a reasonable job of replacing parking lawyers,” Browder told Tech Insider. “I
43、 know there are thousands of programmers with more experience than me working on similar issues. If it is one day possible for any citizen to get the same standard of legal representation as a billionaire, how can that not be a good thing?”45. What made Joshua Browder decide to develop the robot law
44、yer?A. His interest in law and robot.B. Being often fined for serious reasons.C. A waste of much money in appealing.D. Realizing peoples need to write appeals.46.

Store enough legal knowledge in it.49. The underlined word “notified” in the last paragraph can be replaced b

48、the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide m
49、otivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime materi
50、al for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life
51、 or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cant remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise
52、 to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.51.
