1．阅读理解
Robots make me nervous—especially the ones which em to think for themlves. I was embarrasd to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.
Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: "I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent．That should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that, though, the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern."
Well, maybe I don't have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I u them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off. There's a terrible thought!
Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we've en in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. That's what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals，the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you. Becau it is, well, a machine, it would not take pity on you.
It's a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics. They state that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.

珠海渔女2．阅读理解
Forcing waiters and waitress to survive on tips from customers rather than normal wages is a pointless, crude, and unique American custom that, in the past veral years, a handful of progressive restaurant owners have attempted to do away with. Danny Meye
r, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, is about to join their ranks and has announced that he plans to gradually stop tipping at the company's 13 restaurants.
What, exactly, is wrong with tipping? As Brian Palmer has explained, more or less it's everything. To start, leaving a waiter's pay in the hands of customers has a feeling of classism (阶级歧视). And in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is at least suppod to motivate better rvice. This fails in practice becau humans turn out to be pretty arbitrary (随意的) about their tipping behavior. Rearch has shown that the amount diners tip has very little to do with their level of satisfaction. All of this doesn't encourage waiters and waitress to do anything but turn over as many tables as possible.
