All you will leave behind for the world to remember is your legacy(遺產(chǎn)), but what legacy will you leave?
I had a philosophy(哲學)professor, whose untidy appearance was highlighted(突出)by a _______sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often _______on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those hard-to-understand “what’s the meaning of _______” discussions. Many of those discussions went_______, but there were a few that really hit home(切中要害). This was one of them.
“_______to the following questions by a _______of hands,” my professor instructed.
“How many of you can tell me something about your parents” Everyone’s hand _______.
“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents” About three-fourths put up their hands.
“How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents” Two out of sixty students _______their hands.
“Look around the room,” he said, “In just two short generations _______any of us even know ________our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph in a musty(發(fā)霉的)cigar box. ________ maybe we know the classic family________about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us __________know who they were, what they thought, what they took pride in, what they were afraid of, or what they dreamed about? Think about that. Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this __________to you?”
“Here’s a better question. Look __________three generations. You are long ________. Instead of you sitting in this room, now it’s your great-grandchildren. What will they have to say __________you? Will they know about you or will you be ________, too?”
“Is your life going to be a ________or an example? What legacy will you leave? The__________is yours. Class dismissed.”

Every time we get behind the wheel of a car, we pt our lives and the lives of others at risk. Self-driving cars are designed to reduce those risks by letting technology control our vehicles.
Accident rates for self-driving cars have been much lower than the rate, for human-driven cars. 1.
As humans, we can make moral choices in avoiding accidents. To avoid hitting a child, for example, human drivers might sharply turn a car away from the child even if others may be injured. 2. Researchers studied this issue. They have developed the Moral Machine website to help explore the choices self-driving cars should make.
3. . You are shown two possible traffic situations and you choose between them. An accident will take place. You choose how many living beings would be hurt or killed.
In one situation there may be a female doctor, a child, two dogs and a homeless person who would be killed. In the other situation, you might have two babies and a cat who would be killed. 4.
The Moral Machine website has many situations and many possible outcomes. When you click on the situation of your choice, it will be highlighted. 5. At the end of the situation, you are shown the results, based on the choices you made. The results show which character you were most likely to save and which character you were most likely to have die.
A. Who should those victims be?
B. Then the next situation appears.
C. You choose who lives and who dies.
D. You can use the Moral Machine to be the judge.
E. But what moral choices can self-driving cars make?
F. The Moral Machine website lets you choose how you would react in a collision.
G. Google’s self-driving car has had only 13 collisions after traveling 1.8 million miles.
