When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation (基金會(huì)), nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization (組織) had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.

Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980. “It’s a charity(慈善機(jī)構(gòu)) that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make-A-Wish help children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true,” Sophia explained.

We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true --so, with everybody’s help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a “policeman” for a day. “When people saw how happy Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish,” explained Sophia.

Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.

【題目】 Are you shy?If you are,you are not alone. In fact,close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people fell shy at some point in their lives. These days,shyness is becoming more and more common. Now,scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.

Is it possible to be born shy?Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestinglythese shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result,scientists think that some shyness is genetic.

Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied(欺負(fù))by their older brothers and sisters. As a result,they became shy. At the same time,children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone,they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.

You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries,they found surprising differences. In Japan,most people said they were shy. But in Israelonly one of three people said so. What explains the differenceOne scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan,when people do not succeed,they feel bad about themselves. They blame(責(zé)備)themselves for their failure. In Israelthe opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,such as family,teachers,friends or bad luck. In Israelfreedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.

For shy people,it can be difficult to make friends,speak in class,and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversations. And don’t forget-if you are shy,you are not the only one.

【題目】Everyone has got two personalities (性格) ----the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.

If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.

If you sleep on curled up (蜷縮), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don't often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.

Artificial Intelligence(AI,人工智能)can help us make phone calls. It can guide us to where we want to go. It can play games. And now, AI can do even more things.

Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English.

The researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then, language experts compared the results to the translation that were done by humans. The experts said that the system's translations were as good as the human translations.

Experts used several methods to improve the system's translation abilities. “Much of our research is really learned from how we humans do things,” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.

One method is called dual learning(對(duì)偶學(xué)習(xí)). In this method, the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English, as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are exact.

Another method makes use of deliberation networks(推敲網(wǎng)絡(luò))The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Graduallythe system can improve the quality(質(zhì)量) of its translations. This is similar to how people correct their own writing by going through it again and again.

1Microsoft created a system that can ________.

A. make phone callsB. give people directions

C. play games with peopleD. translate news articles

2What did the experts say about the system's translations?

A. They were not exact.

B. They were as good as human translations.

C. They were better than human translations.

D. It's hard to tell whether the translations were correct.

3Dual learning trains the system to translate ________.

A. more quicklyB. different sentences

C. more exactlyD. the same sentence repeatedly

4The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A. dual learningB. the process

C. the systemD. people's own writing

5The passage wants to tell us ________.

A. what artificial intelligence can do for us

B. how sentences are translated from Chinese to English

C. how the machine translation system was developed

D. why Microsoft created a machine translation system
