4．I am an English dictionary．I can still remember the day my ex-owner bought me．He had stood in front of the shelf for around half an hour before finally picking me．Originally，he chose my neighbor．But because she had some ink on the cover，he put her down and chose me instead．
I may sound arrogant （傲慢的）．But please forgive me．I am so proud of my vocabulary．With 100，000entries and 300，000examples，I think no scholar can be more knowledgeable than me．My only weakness is that I can't speak．But that is not my fault．I was not designed to speak in the first place．My ex-owner was supposed to read the phonetic symbols （音標） clearly printed beside each word，which were also my selling point．I should have been respected but have ended up lying next to a piece of used toilet paper inside the rubbish bin．
It is all because of the electronic dictionary．He is the bad guy because he takes advantage of my one weakness．And I just don't understand why he can be so slim．He also has about 100，000entries but 450，000examples!But I know this was not the reason why my ex-owner was attracted，for he was not a very diligent （勤奮的） student and seldom read the examples listed．The main reason was that the bad guy had so many games in him．My ex-owner always pretended to be working hard while actually he was playing games．
My ex-owner put me on his bookshelf because of my awesome English name"Advanced English Dictionary"．He wanted people to think that he was an advanced learner．I wanted to tell him that it would be better if he hid the comic books standing next to me．But，you know，I can't speak．I stood there for years．I was so bored．So I talked to the comic book next to me．Under normal circumstances，I wouldn't have talked to him because I was educated and he was not．But who else could I choose？He told me that my ex-owner had read him once only and then put him there．I was upset because he had never read me from page one to page 1，000．Was I not a better book than the comic book？I wanted to challenge his honesty but before I did so，he was thrown away．
I give up．My pages are absorbing waste water．There is no way people will use me again．Suddenly，I want to talk to the comic book．Would he talk to me if we met？

4．Why does the dictionary think that the electronic dictionary is the"bad guy"？C
A．I t contains more words and examples．
C．It has a smaller size．
B．It can actually pronounce the words        
D．It has many games．
5．The dictionary thinks that its ex-owner put it on the bookshelf because heC．
A．thought that it could match the comic books  
C．just wanted to show off
B．wanted his friends to study English         
D．had to use it sometimes
6．What was the dictionary's attitude toward the comic book standing next to it？C
A．It wanted to make friends with him．
B．It respected him．
C．It envied him．
D．It hated him．

（39）C
Apple was always the best at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users．It's empathy（共鳴）that helps Apple achieve this．Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product，he says"Wow，it's just what I need"．Remember，you're King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire．
Don't mess around with your health．
（40）AThat's the most important lesson from Steve's life．It's great to learn from him，but the fact is he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly．Instead，Steve chose a naturopathic（自然療法）solution that wasn't effective．When he finally decided to take his doctor's original advice，it was too late．

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.
