But can a robot do this? Well, Googles new robot, Atlas, can not only do these things, but it can also stand up if it falls down. Although the robot may be slow and clumsy,it was created mainly to work in dangerous places for humans. Now, robots are much smarter than you might imagine. On March 9 this year, AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) program made by Googles DeepMind, challenged top professional Go player Lee Sedol from South Korea. And AlphaGo beat Lee at last. AI is when computers or computer software is able to have intelligent behavior, such as thinking or acting like a human. In our daily lives, we already use AI in many ways, like Apples Siri and search engines like Baidu and Google. Some people may worry whether computers are now smart enough to beat us at everything. But experts say that is not the case. Real life problems can be more difficult than the Go game. For example, humans can watch a person throw down a cup of coffee and know that the result will be a mess on the floor. A computer program would have to know the size of the cup, the height of the cup from the floor and many other things to find out the result. But we never know what will happen in the future.11 .

In other words， they have more chances to choose a good job， while people with little or no education dont. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isnt accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact， if education is just a way of making a living， people dont need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and math need not be taught in detail(详细)， either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is wellrounded(全面的) and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak， read and write， but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that， it is to make him a wise man. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music， read good books， watch good plays and most of them take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education， but certainly not the most important or the main reason.26 . （小题1）People with little or no education havechances to choose a good job.AmoreBfewerCmanyDmuch27 . （小题2）One of the earliest reasons of education was probably.Amaking a man lead a better lifeBteaching a man to write and thinkCmaking people get a way of livingDteaching people to read good books28 . （小题3）From the passage， we know that the writer thinks making a good living isfor education.Aan important reasonBthe main reasonCthe most important reasonDthe least important reason29 . （小题4）According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE?AAll people think the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.BPeople dont need to learn language or math at all.CEducation is to make a man lead a better life.DOnly education can make all people take an interest in the world.三、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及汉语提示写出单词30 . _(熊猫) only live in China.31 .
