12、 and hopes that he had too. They had, after all, once been my own.I was overjoyed. I had so many things I wanted to say to this younger me.

13、anted to show him how his life would turn out so different from what he had thought and hoped it would, but that it would be much better and happier than the path he was now on.

14、s the most important thing in this life.I opened my mouth to say all of these things but couldnt. I realized at that moment that even if I told him he wouldnt believe me.

19、 to be.CWhen we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we actually meet someone in person-that is, by looking

20、at their profile photo. According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality. In the study, presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to analyze the

21、 profile pictures of 66,000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3,200 of their tweets. At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality type.

24、t colorful profile images, as they want to emphasize their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote. Although social media photos “usually represent an extension of ones self, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and idealized view,” according to the researche

28、y DJanus, the Roman god, has two faces looking in opposite directions. So does artificial intelligence (AI). On one side are the positive changes, enabling people to achieve more, far more quickly, by using technology to improve their existing skills. Look the other way, though, and there are plenty

29、 of potential pitfalls. Like Janus, technological change may also cause disruption（混乱）, but AI is likely to have a bigger impact than anything since the appearance of computers, and its consequences could be far more disruptive.In the years ahead, AI will raise three big questions for bosses and gov

32、r businesses to monitor consumers and employees, both online and in the physical world. Consumers are sometimes happy to go along with this if it results in personalised service or promotions. But AI is bound to bring invasion of privacy that is seen as unacceptable. For example, law-enforcement officials around the world will use AI to spot criminals, but may also monitor ordinary citizens. The third question is about the effect of AI on competition in business.
