24、Happy Rain on a Spring Night
Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night; Mute, it moistens each thing. | O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads; In boat a lantern looms. Dawn sees saturated reds; The town’s heavy with blooms. |
——Translated by Xu Yuanchong
This famous poem, with four couplets (对句), was written by Du Fu (712-770,Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful for nature.
The very first word, “Good”, shows the poet’s joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it “knows” the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification (拟人化), as is the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer’s busy season.
When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.
In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It’s a sign that there will be enough rain during the night. The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.
Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom (盛开) after the rain.
【1】The Chinese title of the poem Happy Rain on a Spring Night is “Ye Fu Ji Bei”.
【2】The rhyme (韵律) for this poem is ab-ab-cd-cd.
【3】The word “quiet” can be used to describe the rain in this poem.
【4】The sentence “With wind it steals in night” uses personification.
【5】Xu Yuanchong wanted to show that he’s thankful for nature in this poem.
25、Robotic Pets
I am going to predict how people are going to be with future technology in their life. I think robotic pets are going to be increasingly popular as the technology develops. At least I am going to build what I think is a strong case for this prediction.
From a neurological point of view, I do not see anything in the way to people bonding (纽带) fully with robotic pets. The human brain can attach (赋予) emotions to things and respond to emotional signaling. Being alive is simply not required. From how objects move, our brains infer that they are able to act with their own will and purpose. If they move in a way that cannot be explained simply as passive (被动的) movement, then they must be moving on their own. Therefore, they can connect to the emotional centers in our brains. We either fear them, or love them, or hunger for them, or whatever. We can respond emotionally with cartoon creatures, with animals, and yes, even with robots. Our brains treat things that act alive as if they are alive—no different.
One of the opposite points that people often bring up is that they love the way their pets behave, not just look. This gets to AI, which has been developing at a fast pace. We have AI that can beat world masters in chess and go. I have no doubt we can build AI to mimic (模仿) the behavior of dogs and cats, if not now then probably within a generation.
So we will have no problem fully emotionally bonding with a robotic pet. But this doesn't mean we would prefer such a pet. One argument against robotic pets is that they will be expensive compared to a live pet—but this is likely not to be true forever. Living pets need to be fed, and they need at least basic medical care, and they may need to be boarded at times. Also, people spend hundreds of dollars on pets, __________or thousands of dollars on purebred species. Robotic pets will finally cost less in total than biological ones.
But let's get to the real reason people will prefer robotic pets at last. The possibilities for building in useful technology are endless. An advanced robotic pet could also serve as a defensive and alarm system. You could recharge your cell phone off their batteries. They could be a walking cell phone. They would be excellent companions for the elder, affording them more independence for longer. This in itself would be a huge cost saving—anything that keeps people out of a nursing home is cost effective.
Imagination is really the only limitation, once you have the basics of a working robot. When the technology crosses a certain limit, this will be a thing. Future generations may consider keeping a living animal in your home as primitive (原始的) and cruel. They may have a point.
【1】Why can we bond fully with robotic pets?
A.They can respond to our reactions.
B.They can move actively and freely.
C.Our brains can treat things differently.
D.Our brains can attach emotions to them.
【2】According to the passage, we know that .
A.robotic pets will be cost effective in the future
B.present AI can mimic all the behaviors of live pets
C.the elder prefer to have robotic pets as companions
D.the young think it primitive and cruel to keep live pets
【3】The writer probably agrees that .
A.live pets will serve us better
B.it is easier to keep live pets at home
C.technology ensures robotic pets a bright future
D.imagination limits the development of robotic pets

He walked into the station Coffee. He looked up at that clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror(镜子)on the wall. Just then, Han Meimei, one of Li Lei’s friends came in and sat with Li Lei. “What time is your bus?”asked Han Meimei. “ There's plenty of time yet.” Answered Li Lei.“Well, I’ll get you more tea then” said Han Meimei.

28、Drawing might help you think
When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks?
If so, your teacher might have told you 【1】(stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦) as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.
One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group 【2】 (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.
Other people 【3】 (suggest)other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw
might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you 【4】 (have)a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.
Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown 【5】 (write)a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling
as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies
improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown 【6】 (believe)doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合)many ways of learning. You lean in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn.
And when you doodle while you 【7】 (listen )to a lecture, you use all four.
You might think that being good at 【8】 ( draw)is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!
