I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize thats not what you had in mind.”Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jam
21、ie cut him off. “Well come back later.”Mrs. Grady doesnt look like the person whod come to his rescue last summer when Mr. Dunns collie, Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didnt feel comfortable around big dogs. He wanted to call for help, but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth. Then Mr
22、s. Gradys front door had flown open. She must have seen him from across the street. Hold on, Mark. Im coming!” “Goldie” shed called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasnt much taller than Mark, but shed stood firm as a rock in front of him.

27、out food and drink for a living, I couldnt tell you the first thing about Bill Perry or whether the beers he sells are that great. But I can tell you that I like this guy. Thats because he plans to ban tipping in favor of paying his servers an actual living wage. I hate tipping. I hate it because it
28、s an obligation disguised as an option. I hate it for the post-dinner math it requires of me. But mostly, I hate tipping because I believe I would be in a better place if pay decisions regarding employees were simply left up to their employers, as is the custom in virtually every other industry. Mos
29、t of you probably think that you hate tipping, too. Research suggests otherwise. You actually love tipping! You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes. No matter how the math works out, you persistently view restaurants with voluntary tipping systems as being a better
30、 value, which makes it extremely difficult for restaurants and bars to do away with the tipping system. One argument that you tend to hear a lot from the pro-tipping crowd seems logical enough: the service is better when waiters depend on tips. Well, if this were true, we would all be giving a few 1
31、00-dollar bills to our doctors on the way out their doors, too. But as it turns out, waiters see only a tiny increase in tips when they do an exceptional service. Waiters, keen observers of human nature, are catching on to this. In one poll, a full 30% said they didnt believe the job they did had an
32、y impact on the tips they received. So come on, folks: get on board with ditching the tip system. Pay a little more upfront for your beer or burger. Support Bill Perrys pub, and any other bar or restaurant that doesnt ask you to do drunken math. 28. What can we learn about Bill Perry from the passag
33、e? A. He runs a pub that serves excellent beer. B. He gives his staff a considerable sum for tips.C. He intends to get rid of the tipping practice. D. He lives comfortably without getting any tips. 29. What have some waiters come to realize according to a survey? A. Tips benefit the boss rather that
34、 the employees.B. It is in human nature to try to save on tips. C. Tips make it more difficult to please customers. D. Service quality has little effect on tip size. 30. What does the underlined word in paragraph 6 mean?A. improving B. abandoning C. supporting D. reducing31. What does the author arg
35、ue for in the passage? A. Restaurants should calculate the tips for customers. B. Customers should pay more tips to help improve service. C. Waiters should be paid by employers instead of customers. D. Waiters deserve better than just relying on tips for a living.DNowadays, many people are involved
36、in the concern that Artificial Intelligence（AI） becomes increasingly sophisticated and could become a threat. But this danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take
37、on more complicated tasks, its necessary to translate our morals into AI language. For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldnt want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children, “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Ru
38、ssell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldnt
39、 think thats the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do. It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we could find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. Th
40、ey are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing. One simple solution would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation
41、.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it will send out beeps（嘟嘟声）, and asks for directions from a human.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with
42、 an answer, robots could be good for humanity. 32. What does the author say about the threat of robots?A. It may be a challenge to computer programmers B. It accompanies all machinery involving high technologyC. It can be avoided if human values are translated into their languageD. It has become an
43、unavoidable danger as technology gets more sophisticated33. How do robots learn human values?A. By interacting with humans in everyday life situationsB. By following the daily routines of civilized human beingsC. By picking up patterns from massive data on human behaviorD. By imitating the behavior
44、of property brought-up human beings34. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A. Determine what is moral and ethicalB. Design some large-scale experimentsC. Set rules for man-machine interactionD. Develop a more sophisticated program35. Whats the best title o

46、They should be at least eight characters in length. They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find, like your pets name or the name of a family member.Change your password regularlyA very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password, but then never change it. Rememberin
