Each of the parks “islands” Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, and The Lost Continent has unique appeal in the form of rides and interactive attractions. (407-363-8000) GatorlandGatorland It bills itself as “Orlandos best half-day attraction”, for in a city people are limited by their time and money.

Gatorland ranks as a comparative theme-park bargain. (407-855-5496) AquaticaAquatica One of the citys most unique water parks, Aquatica is a fantastical world of twisting, turning rides and sparkling white sand beaches. And if you enjoy a side of terror with your water-park fun, be sure to check out Ihus Breakaway Falls. This towering slide is an eight-story mind-bender of a plummet（垂直落下） that is not for the weak heart.

You can also watch the black-and-white Commersons dolphins underwater.

Before he ordered, he couldnt help but noticed a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasnt until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(丝带) on the lapel （翻领）of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about. The man pretended not to notice it, but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, “This?” With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he spoke to said, “Hey, sorry, man, but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!” The middle-aged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table, and politely seated him. As uncomfortable as he was, the young guy had to, not really sure why. In a soft voice, the middle-aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mothers honor.” “Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?” “No, she didnt. Shes alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. Im very grateful for my mothers breasts, and her health.” “Umm,” the young replied, “yeah.” “And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife,” the man continued. “And shes okay, too?” the young guy asked. - 2 - “Oh, yes. Shes fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. Im grateful for my wifes breasts, and her health.” “Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?” “No. Its too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now ” Shaken and ashamed, the young guy said, “Oh, Im so sorry, mister.” “So, in my daughters memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here” With this, he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, “?” 4.

Rockefeller once said, “The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity (日用品) as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for t hat ability than for any other under the sun. ” Wouldnt you suppose that every college in the land would conduct courses to develop the highest-priced ability under the sun? But if there was one, it would not escape my attention. The University of Chicago conducted a survey to determine what adults want to study. That survey cost $ 25,000 and took two years. The last part of the survey was made - 3 - in Meriden, Connecticut. It had been chosen as a typical American town. Every adult in Meriden was interviewed and requested to answer 156 questions such as “What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your income? Your hobbies? Your ambitions? Your problems? What subjects are you most interested in studying?” and so on. That survey revealed that health is the prime interest of adults and that their second interest is people; how to understand and get along with people; how to make people like you; and how to win others to your way of thinking. So the committee conducting this survey decided to conduct such a course for adults in Meriden. They searched for a practical textbook on the subject and found none. Finally they approached one of the worlds outstanding authorities on adult education and asked him if he knew of any book that met the needs of this group. “No,” he replied, “I know what those adults want. But the book they need has never been written.” I knew from experience that this statement was true, for I myself had been searching for years to discover a practical handbook on human relations. Since no such book existed, I have tried to write one for use in my own courses. And here it is. I hope you like it. 8. What does John D. Rockefeller suggest about the ability to deal with people? A.

When we talk about AI, often we focus on the belief that it is going to take away certain types of jobs. However, we often ignore the fact that this technology will also slowly spread into most of our lives. Thanks to the development of AI, we are on the highway of IA, (human) intelligence augmentation (增强). Despite the great steps weve made in AI development and will continue to make in 2018, we are still years away from AI fully replacing human jobs. However, we are much closer to seeing the impact of AI spread into almost every job and the growth in human intelligence. Take a doctor for example: AI will soon be able to detect and diagnose common diseases more quickly and accurately than humans. Now, doctors can spend more of their time explaining the possible diagnoses, communicating with patients and developing unique, reliable treatment plans that are most effective for each specific patient. However, AI is so powerful and its adoption will only accelerate as it begins to help our work and allow us to focus on the parts of our job that are most important. But part of why AI is so attractive is also why its so dangerous. That is, that same power allows AI that are making incorrect decisions to do so with greater speed and impact than humans have ever had. This is why, as AI becomes more useful in 2018, it will also become more closely examined. 2018 will be the year when companies purchasing AI products dont just ask about the power of AIthey will make sure that it is tested carefully in advance, minimizing their potential unexpected impact. 12. What does the author suggest in the first two paragraphs? A. Many jobs should be replaced by AI in the future. B. People should think more about the impact of AI. C. AI is too abstract for ordinary people to understand. D. People care little about the development of AI. 13. The author takes the example of “the do ctor” to explain that . A. AI always makes right decisions B. doctors will lose their jobs very soon C. human intelligence grows with AI D. humans are no better than AI in medicine - 5 -
