Twenty-one years later I am
2、still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to
3、 care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic- -and very emotional. A year later came o
4、ur second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo -a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the
5、dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an
6、example for them to follow through the rest of their lives .In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks hu
7、ge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. Its a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.21.

12、s.D. Classmates.BIf you want to stay in shape, but dont have the time to go to the gym, the Mobile Gym is a good solution. Its basically a large bus filled with the latest fitness equipment.

13、 gym, and the gym comes to you!The Mobile Gym was the idea of Adam Zickerman, founder of Inform Fitness, a popular chain of gyms across the United States. It hit him when he ordered lunch from a food truck one afternoon. So why not put a gym on a truck? Zickerman experimented with a few designs and
14、then invested $ 60, 000 on making adaptations and fixing machines. He didnt really need an advertising budget as the bus advertised itself. Carole Pallmeyer, for instance, found herself driving behind the Mobile Gym one day. At first she thought it was a regular bus with ads for a gym. But then she
15、realized the bus itself was a gym, so she booked workout sessions for her entire family. We are all busy, but we know the bus is coming and make sure we are home at 4:30 for the workouts, she said. You forget youre on a bus because the workouts are tightly scheduled. Unfortunately, it is illegal to
16、use the fitness equipment while the bus is moving, so you dont get to save time by working out during the rush time. It operates only once a week, only two clients(#F) can be accommodated at a time on the bus. And it doesnt come cheap. Sessions start at $ 100, while in-house workouts are $ 65. But t
17、he Mobile Gym appears to be a big hit. There are so many benefits to having the Mobile Gym come to you, Zickerman said. Only five to seven exercises complete a total- body workout when performed using our special equipment. He also added that a 20-minute workout might sound easy, but it is really di
18、fficult and provides instant results. It is very challenging and clients understand quickly why rest is important between workouts.25. What inspired Zickerman to invent the Mobile Gym?A. A usual order for a meal.B. A casual visit to a gym.C. A tight schedule for workout.D. A specific experience of e

21、s like ageing societies , environmental threats and global conflicts.But many of us wonder whether AI will become so intelligent in human communication that the dividing line between human and artificial beings will become less clear. Also, once our human bodies and minds are improved with AI and ro
22、botics, what will it mean to be human?From an engineering point of view, these advanced abilities are still very far away. A number of problems need to be overcome. For now, robots and computers are completely dependent on a power source they require a lot of electricity. Another problem is the comp
23、lexity of human communication. While a one-off natural language conversation in a specific situation with a robot can feel realistic, communicating with people in many other situations is quite another matter.For example, when you call an artificial lost-and-found robot at an airport, a pleasant con
24、versation is possible because there are only a limited number of goals the caller has. However, in creating a more extended relationship, for example, with a robotic pet, the robot needs to have inner goals, a lot of memory that relates experiences to various situations, and it needs to develop thes
25、e abilities over time.Through smart tricks, a robot can seem more intelligent than it is. Humans are likely to make sense of the robots behaviors in a human way. However, in order to sustain a meaningful relationship which deepens and develops over time, a richer artificial inner life will need to b
