23、Gottfried Wilhelm von Liebniz was a philosopher and mathematician in search of a model. In the late 1600s Leibniz decided there was a need for a new, purer arithmetic than our common decimal(十进制)system. He got his inspiration from the 5000-year-old book that is at the heart of Chinese philosophy:the I-Ching, or Book of Changes.
This ancient text was such an influence on Liebniz that he titled his article on the new arithmetic “Explanation of a new arithmetic and the ancient Chinese figure of Fu X”. Fu Xi was the legendary first author of the I-Ching. The arithmetic that Liebniz described was binary(二进制)code, which is used in almost every modern computer, from iPhones to China’s own Tihane-2 supercomputer.
To figure out what Liebniz learned in the I-Ching, we need to understand something that most of us have taken for granted. When we listen to an MP3, look at a digital photo or watch the latest TV drama, we are experiencing a digital representation of reality. That representation is basically just a string of binary signals that are commonly known as 1s and 0s. What Liebniz’s gained from the book was that even the most complex reality could be represented in the binary form as 1s and 0s.
In the philosophy of the I-Ching, reality is not entirely real. It is something more like a dream. This dream of reality arises from the binaries of Yin and Yang, as they play out countless combinations, practically everything in the universe. It’s not surprising then, from the l-Ching’s perspective, that anything in the dream of reality can be represented in a string of 1s and 0s, processed by a computer.
The I-Ching was far more ambitious than the current practical applications of binary code. It is claimed that the I-Ching represents nothing less than the basic situation of human life itself. As a system for predicting the future, the I-Ching might disappoint, but as a way of questioning your own unconscious mind, it can be remarkably useful.
The I-Ching’s teachings also contain warnings about our digital revolution. Binary code, powered by modern computers, has an amazing capacity to represent reality. However, the ancient authors of the I-Ching might have understood its potential-and its dangers-even better than we now do.
So when scientific thinkers ask whether computers can create “virtual realities” or “artificial intelligence”, they are missing the point. Of course, we can create ever deeper and more complex layers of the dream of reality. The real question is, can we wake up from the dream we’ re in already?
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about binary codes?
A.They share the same source with the decimal system.
B.They can form numerous combinations.
C.They are documented in the Book of Changes.
D.They are first discovered by Fu Xi.
【2】In paragraph 3, the underlined part refers to the fact that ______.
A.media products are digitally represented using 1s and 0s.
B.TV dramas and digital photos are not worth seeing.
C.Reality is made more complex by binary codes.
D.Licbniz’s model is hardly understandable.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Computers’ ability to represent reality is quite limited.
B.Human life is now in grave danger according to the I-Ching.
C.We have yet to understand the complete teachings of the I-Ching.
D.The I-Ching is perfectly accurate in predicting the future.
【4】Which of the following is the best title?
A.The Ancient Book of Wisdom at the Heart of Every Computer
B.The Supercomputer that Employs Ancient Chinese Culture
C.The Father of Binary Code, Gottfried Wilhelm Liebniz
D.The Origin of Eastern and Western Philosophy
24、As I stood in line waiting to cash out at my favorite retail store, I studied the customer in front of me. She was young, maybe early twenties. But she already had a tired look to her. Her face looked drawn from exhaustion. Her thin, unbuttoned winter coat had seen those bad days. The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat. Powdered milk, day-old bread, bargain soap, and inexpensive shampoo completed her purchases — well, almost.
“Next!” When the cashier finally told her the cost, the woman’s face paled. She opened a purse and began counting small bills and change. It was obvious she didn’t have enough, and she scanned her groceries to see what she could do without. One by one, she removed things, but she still came up short. She continued to discard much-needed goods while the cashier set them aside patiently. The child’s items remained in the cart, however.
The woman finally paid, and moved down to bag them. When my turn came, I moved forward and placed several items the woman had taken out, whispering “Separate bags, please” to the cashier. I wondered how I could sneak the extra things into the old cart she’d brought without being caught. My clerk solved the problem by “accidentally” rolling several oranges hard enough on the conveyer belt so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor.
“I’ll get those,” the woman offered kindly and ran to pick up the runaway fruit. I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart. Just as I put the second one in, I noticed a twenty-dollar bill peeking out that I had not placed in there.
“You put that money in there, didn’t you?” I accused the clerk with a laugh when I went to pay my bill. I was surprised when she shook her head. “No, it was her,” she replied, pointing to another woman.
My small, insignificant gesture had rippled to become a larger kindness than I ever could have imagined.
【1】What can we infer about the customer in front of “me” in Paragraph 1?
A.She is a woman to think of others before herself.
B.She pretended to be poor to gain other’s sympathy.
C.Everything about her screamed hardship and need.
D.Everything she chose wasn’t what she truly needed.
【2】What does the underlined word “discard” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Handle.
B.Separate.
C.Test out.
D.Take out.
【3】Why did the clerk roll oranges hard enough on the conveyer belt?
A.To do “me” a favor.
B.To train her skill.
C.To show her acting experience.
D.To help increase grocery sales.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Kindness in Giving Creates Love
B.What Goes around Comes around
C.Being Happy Is Enough
D.More than a Coincidence

We become so comfortable with the life that has been ______ for us by our parents, teachers, traditions, and social standards that we feel that it's stupid and unsafe to ______ losing it for the small hope of achieving something that is more satisfying.
Taking a risk is ______ a risk. We can, and will, fail, ______ many, many, many times. But that is what makes it exciting for me. That ______ can be viewed negatively, or it can ______ us.
Failing is what makes us grow, and it makes us stronger. The fear of ______, though, is what makes us sad. So ______ I couldn't see the future as clearly as before, I took the plunge(投入) in______ that in the depths of fear and failure I would come out feeling more ______ than ever before.
