15、e people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe its not time to ditch your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email

17、s, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the tactile feedback （触觉反馈）to the brain that contact between pen and paper does.

33、the best books I have read in years. This is a page turner with complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about friendship, good and evil, betrayal, etc. It is intense and a great book by many measures.On one level, The Kite Runner is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Af

34、ghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2001 attacks. It also explores the history of the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan his

35、tory and culture in the context of the story.Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption （救赎）， and survival. The core story c

36、ould be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal.The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amirs childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing

37、 up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amirs voice. I sympathized with him, cheered for him and felt angry with him at different points.

41、 A summary of a book.D. An advertisement of a book.BAristotle believed the face was a window onto a persons mind. Today, facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to judge other peoples feelings. A smile suggests happiness. A frown indicates sadness. However, an ana

42、lysis of hundreds of research papers has uncovered a surprising conclusion: there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognisable facial expressions for basic emotions which are universal across cultures.Lisa Feldman Barrett, a psychologist at Northeastern Univer

43、sity in Boston, Massachusetts, and her colleagues found that, on average, adults in urban cultures scowled when they were angry 30% of the time. This meant that some 70% of the time they did not scowl when angr y. A scowl, the researchers concluded, seemed valid for all six of the emotional categori

44、es: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise.All raise questions about the efforts of information-technology companies to develop artificial intelligence algorithms （计算程序） which can recognise facial expressions and work out a persons emotional state. Aleix Martinez, a computer engineer

45、at Ohio State University, said that companies attempting to extract emotions from images of faces have failed to understand the importance of context.Dr Martinez cited an experiment in which participants were shown a close-up picture of a mans face, which was bright red with his mouth open in a scre

46、am. Based on this alone, most participants said the man was extremely angry. Then the view zoomed out to show a football player with his arms outstretched, celebrating a goal. His angry-looking face was, in fact, a show of pure joy.Given that people cannot guess each others emotional states most of

47、the time, Dr Martinez sees no reason computers would be able to.

48、ed by a machine-learning system. And depending on your facial expressions, they hire you or not, which I find really shocking and not only based on the wrong hypothesis （假设）,but a dangerous hypothesis.24 .The main purpose of the passage is topresent the mistake associated with artificial intelligenceA. report the problem caused by misreading facial expressionsdescribe the relationship between facial expressions and emotionsB. introduce a danger experienced by information-technology companies.Dr.Martinez cited the experiment in order to_A. reveal the mystery of the pictureemphasi
