This is a page turner with complex characters and situations that will make you think hard about fri

11、endship, good and evil, betrayal, etc. It is intense and a great book by many measures. On one level, The Kite Runner is the story of two boys in Afghanistan and Afghan immigrants in America. It is a story set in a culture that has become of increasing interest to Americans since the September 11, 2

12、001 attacks. It also explores the history of the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. On this level, it provides a good way for people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of the story.Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is reall

13、y about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption (救赎）， and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal.The Kite Runner looks at how the main character, Amir, deals

14、with a secret in his past and how that secret shaped who he became. It tells of Amirs childhood friendship with Hassan, his relationship with his father and growing up in a privileged place in society. I was drawn in by Amirs voice.

15、different points. Similarly, I became attracted by Hassan and his father.

19、 facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to judge other peoples feelings. A smile suggests happiness. A frown indicates sadness. However, an analysis of hundreds of research papers has uncovered a surprising conclusion: there is no good scientific evidence to sugg

20、est that there are such things as recognisable facial expressions for basic emotions which are universal across cultures. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a psychologist at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, and her colleagues found that, on average, adults in urban cultures scowled when they we

21、re angry 30% of the time. This meant that some 70% of the time they did not scowl when angry. A scowl, the researchers concluded, seemed valid for all six of the emotional categories: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise.All raise questions about the efforts of information-technolog

22、y companies to develop artificial intelligence algorithms (计算程序） which can recognise facial expressions and work out a persons emotional state. Aleix Martinez, a computer engineer at Ohio State University, said that companies attempting to extract emotions from images of faces have failed to underst

23、and the importance of context.Dr Martinez cited an experiment in which participants were shown a close-up picture of a mans face, which was bright red with his mouth open in a scream. Based on this alone, most participants said the man was extremely angry. Then the view zoomed out to show a football

24、 player with his arms outstretched, celebrating a goal. His angry-looking face was, in fact, a show of pure joy.Given that people cannot guess each others emotional states most of the time, Dr Martinez sees no reason computers would be able to. “There are companies right now claiming to be able to d

25、o that and apply this to places I find really scary and dangerous, for example, in hiring people,” he says. Some companies require you to submit a video CV, and then this is analysed by a machine-learning system. And depending on your facial expressions, they hire you or not, which I find really sho

26、cking and not only based on the wrong hypothesis (假设），but a dangeroushypothesis.”25.The main purpose of the passage is toA. present the mistake associated with artificial intelligenceB. report the problem caused by misreading facial expressionsC. describe the relationship between facial expressions

27、and emotionsD. introduce a danger experienced by information-technology companies26.Dr.Martinez cited the experiment in order to_A. reveal the mystery of the pictureB. emphasize the importance of contextC. show the significance of facial expressionsD. demonstrate the professionalism of his experimen

He struggled to remember phone numbers. But now he has won the Australian Memory Championships four time

29、s and has represented Australia at the World Memory Championships, where he was able to memorise 80 words in 15 minutes and 41 names and faces in five minutes.So how did Tansels memory improve so much? The key,he says, is in encoding information into an image. Tansel also creates images when remembe

30、ring numbers. That involves a lot of “pre-work”， he explains. “Ive got images already pre-memorised from 0 to 99. So, for example, 17 is a dog and 71 is a cat, so if I get the number 1771, Im going to picture a dog chasing a cat.And it works.If you want to strengthen your own recall skills, Tansel s

31、uggests reading something incredibly dry and boring, such as a “terms and conditions” page. While doing so, create a story in your mind. “If you can make a story out of what youre trying to remember, you can essentially memorise anything.Psychologist Sharon Draper says there are other ways to boost

32、your memory, including doing brain challenges such as puzzles, crosswords and Sudoku at least once a day.“ Being physically active, avoiding smoking, reducing alcohol intake and aiming for a solid nights sleep can also help protect your memory from going through the sieve(筛网）”，Draper adds. And dietitian Kathryn Hawkins notes that sticking to a well-balanced diet -
