One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man 36 out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he di
9、d that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very 37 . She couldnt understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could 38 , but, of 3course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve
10、(解决) the problem of homelessness. Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman, 39 an old shopping trolley（购物车） which was piled with 40 . It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 41 to do something. She had
11、 been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 42 they first saw the homeless man.

More recently, the foundation began another 47 called National Red Scarf Day - a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canadas 48 and homeless. There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called “Han

The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a li
20、ttle as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didnt know each other well Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Pariss eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was. Paris had suffered a
21、 sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick persons chest so that blood moves through the body and
22、takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didnt think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was t
23、he difference between life and death.” says Taylor.Taylors swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911.

34、rsonCMeasles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading
35、quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protect
36、ed. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who cant be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesnt work.But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some ref
37、use vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.Thats exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an
38、 outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vacc
39、ines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.8Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit
40、exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but theyll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.63. The first two paragraphs suggest that _.A
41、. a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB. the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention C. anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD. information about measles spreads quickly64. Herd immunity works well when _.A. exemptions are allowedB. several vaccines are used
42、togetherC. the whole neighborhood is involved in D. new regulations are added to the state laws65. What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?A. The overuse of vaccine. B. The lack of medical care.C. The features of measles itself. D. The vaccine opt-outs of some people.66. What is the purp
43、ose of the passage?A. To introduce the idea of exemption. B. To discuss methods to cure measles.C. To stress the importance of vaccination. D. To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.D9Hollywoods theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The r
44、eal problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics（控制论）, put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes,
45、 a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to p
46、reserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coff
47、ee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our
48、own, with the real world as the chessboard. The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.Solving the safety problem
