A taxi driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Excellent speakers charge thousands of dollars to give training to company leaders and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.
I had flown into Dallas for the purpose of calling on a customer. Time was limited and my plan included a quick turn-around trip from and back to the airport. A spotless taxi pulled up. The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver’s seat, he mentioned that the neatly-folded Wall Street Journal next to me was for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, “Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell.”
“You bet,” he replied, “I used to be in Microsoft. But I got tired of it, thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my position in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, helping people and feeling like I have done a full day’s work and done it well. I thought about my personal strengths and ... wham! I became a taxi driver. One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to go above the customer’s expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being ‘great’ better than just getting by being ‘average’.”

D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance. Who is smarter? A human being or artificial intelligence（人工智能）?
The question swept the world last year when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Se-del, 4-1.
So, what comes next?
Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”
So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?
“Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.
“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance（视觉平衡）, are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.”
As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”
Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.
“Our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”
28. What was the result of the match?
A. Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1. B. Lee Se-del was defeated.
C. Google program beat AlphaGo. D. Neither side won the match.
29. What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks?
A. It’s very hard for AI to beat the human brain.
B. AI would take the place of human beings.
C. AI can make various decisions quickly.
D. AI does better than humans in sight and balance.
30. Who believes much has to be done to improve AI?
A. Stephen Hawking. B. John Markoff.
C. The New York Times. D. The Economist.
31. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply(暗示)?
A. AI will improve the world completely.
B. AI is in the control of human beings.
C. AI may bring disasters to human beings.
D..AI will make our future out of control.
D
China's admiration of outstanding scholars has turned the well-preserved childhood home of Tu Youyou, the Chinese pharmacologist(药理学家) who won this year's Nobel Prize in physiology(生理学) or Medicine, into a popular tourist destination.
Since it was announced on Monday that 84-year-old Tu had become the first Chinese citizen to win this international prize, her former home in the old town of Ningbo, Zhejiang province, has attracted visitors, especially parents and their children-even though it is not open to the public.
The house, where Tu lived until she went to university in Beijing, covers an area of 2,200 square meters and is priced at 150 million yuan( $ 23. 6 million) .

Shanghai resident Xu Lingfei, who was on a trip to Ningbo, took her 9-year-old son to walk around the complex on Wednesday. "Chinese people believe in exams and awards and have a strong preference for high performers. Taking children to visit the former dwelling（公寓） places of celebrities is a way to inspire them to study harder," Xu said.
Something similar happened. After Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2012，tourists started visiting Mo's former home in rural Gaomi, Shandong Province, in an endless stream starting the day after he won the prize. Some even pulled the radishes(白萝卜) planted in front of the house and carried away some bricks.

The traditional American school year begins in late August or early September. It ends in May or June, followed by summer vacation. 36 Because long ago, young people had to help their families harvest summer crops, At least this is what people today may think.
37 A recent report from an education policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.
In the early days of the United States, children were not required to attend school calendars depended on local needs. 38 They worked on family farms during the other months, City schools were often open much longer, some for eleven months of the year.
After the Civil War, more and more people saw the need for a system of required education.
39 Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break, The schools were often crowded. There was no modern air conditioning. Hot days would make it difficult to learn. Many rural educators, however, pushed for a longer school year. They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few child-labor laws.
So the traditional school calendar was a compromise(折中) .The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days. Times have not changed much. 40 But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed. This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.
A. Why such a long break?
B. Today the common average is one hundred and eighty days.
C. Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar.
D. Most schools had similar school calendars.
E. But the reason has more to it.
F. Students in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year.
G. But they had different ideas for the calendar.

Dear Peter,
Nice to hear from you. In this mail, I’d like to share with you my volunteer experience in my community hospital during the summer vacation.I worked from July 15 to July 31,
during which time people over 55 were given a free medical examination.
Every day I arrived before 6:30 and helped
organize the people who came. Then I would help them fill in the forms.
Leading them to the different departments was also part of my duties. Often, by the time their
examinations were over at 11:30 a.m., I was already bathed in sweat. Tired as I was in those days, I benefited a lot from the experience. My confidence built up and my communication skills improved.
