The idea is Ability App. Alex's website says the app will help people with disabilities and their caregivers find the exact position of public spaces and find safe, reliable services and employment opportunities.

One day when addressing Barrys class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll(招收) Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesnt understand, said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple its a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry, highlighting(使突出） some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future.Bina48 participated in class discussions through Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.32. What was Bina48s performance like in class?A. unsatisfactory.B. Insignificant.C. Unattractive.D. Extraordinary.33. What does the underlined word “addressing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Dealing with.B. Consulting with.C. Giving a speech to.D. Sending a letter to.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love.B. Artificial intelligence may be superior to man in some ways.C. It was interesting for Bina48 to learn about love.D. Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence.35. What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?A. It will be able to improve learning and teaching.B. It will completely take the place of instructors.C. It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.D. It will be smart enough to control human beings.第二节(共5小题；每题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Having a heart-healthy lifestyle doesnt have to be hard work.

So we must keep away from nicotine. Researchers show that friends and optimism are linked with healthier hearts. 40 so spend an evening curled up on the sofa with your partner instead of watching the night news alone.
