Marie was Joey’s mother. There was something wrong with her son’s feet. The doctor told her that Joey would be able to walk like others, but would never run very fast. At the age of eight, Joey ran around with the children in his neighborhood. His mother never told him that he wouldn’t be able to run as fast as the other children. So he didn’t know.
In the seventh grade, he decided to try out for a runner on his school team. He ran more than any of the others in order to be chosen. Joey practiced running four to five miles a day--even one day when he had a high fever. Although Marie was worried about him, she never told him he couldn’t run with such a high fever.

29、 While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some primary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital(数码的) teacher, Siri. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Siri is just an avatar(化身) that turns up on the students’ desktop, tablet, or smart phone screen when called.
Thanks to a web cam(网络摄像头) and microphone, the avatar not only answer the questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal signals(无声信号). For example, if a student smiles at Siri, he will smile back. This two-way interaction not only helps draw the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement(参与) and make changes if needed.
Vector’s Chief Digital Officer, Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Siri-like avatars could be a new way to attract the attention of the next generation. He says, “Using a digital human is a very popular method to send new information to people, and I have a lot of hope in this technology as a way to offer rich and educational experience in the futures.” Greg Cross, the Chief Business Officer for Soul Machines, states that kids who have grown up in this digital time adapt(适应) to new technology quickly, and he hopes to develop the idea of digital humans in the area of education further.
The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success so far. However, no matter how popular it becomes, Siri is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon. For one, the avatar’s knowledge base is severely limited. But more importantly, even the smartest digital avatars could never predict(预测) and react to all the unexpected situations that educators have to deal with on a daily basis. However, it could come in handy as a “personal teacher”, providing kids with one-on-one help on certain subjects or even topics.
【1】What is mentioned about Will in the first paragraph?
A.He is a human-like robot teacher. B.He is the first robot teacher in the world.
C.He is a digital teacher teaching in the school. D.He will walk across the classroom to you when called.
【2】In what way does the digital teacher help the students?
A.By taking part in discussion. B.By changing teaching methods.
C.By communicating with students. D.By monitoring students’ behavior.
【3】What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?
A.It can smile back. B.It can use microphone.
C.It can change if necessary. D.It can talk any topic for free.
【4】What can be inferred about the digital teacher from the last paragraph?
A.It has entered many homes as kids’ private teacher.
B.It will teach in class in place of human educators.
C.It’s good at dealing with unexpected situations.
D.It remains to be improved.

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
An Unforgivable Mistake
A few years ago, the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found out the apartment they had rented for us was next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.
Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of muggers in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But this one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put a $ 10 bill in my back pocket.
It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running, another jogger bumped into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of muggers in the park occurred to me. "It could have been a mugger!” I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket. The money was missing! I immediately started to run after the other jogger. I finally caught up and grabbed him firmly by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he gave me the$10 bill. I’m not usually a hot-headed person, but I really lost my temper at that moment. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.
I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife the story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately interrupted(插话).” I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.
