letter共10.第4页on the answer sheet.Text AIt was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade.My marks in school were miserable and,the thing was,I didnt know enough to really care.My older brother and I lived withMom in a dingy multi-family house in Detroit.We watched TV every night.Thebackground noise of our lives was gunfire and horses hoofs from Wagon Train orCheyenne,and laughter from I love Lucy or Mister Ed.After supper,wed sprawlon Moms bed and stare for hours at the tube.But one day Mom changed our world forever.She turned off the TV.Our motherhad only been able to get through third grade,but she was much brighter and smarterthan we boys knew at the time.She had noticed something in the suburban houses shecleaned-books.So she came home one day,snapped off the TV,sat us down andexplained that her sons were going to make something of themselves.“You boys aregoing to read two books every week,she said.And youre going to write me a reporton what you read.We moaned and complained about how unfair it was.Besides,we didnt have anybooks in the house other than Moms Bible.But she explained that we would go wherethe books were:Tll drive you to the library.So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library.I wandered reluctantly among thechildrens books.I loved animals,so when I saw some books that seemed to be aboutanimals,I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder.It was aboutbeavers.For the first time in my life I was lost in another world.No television programhad ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a coldstream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didnt dawn on me at the time,but the experience was quite different fromwatching TV.There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes.And Icould return to them again and again with the flip of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my otherworld.I moved from animals to plants,and then to rocks.Between the covers of allthose books were whole worlds,and I was free to go anywhere in them.Along the waya funny thing happened:I started to know things.Teachers started to notice it too.I gotto the point where I couldnt wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery atJohn Hopkins Childrens Center in Baltimore.Sometimes I still cant believe my lifesjourney,from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position,which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.51.We can learn from the beginning of the passage that共10页第5页A.the author and his brother had done poorly in

look,feel,andsound friendly but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner.Thosequalities that make interaction with other people enjoyable would be imitated as closelyas possible,and the machine would appear to be charming,and easygoing.Its informalconversational style would make interaction comfortable,and yet the machine wouldremain slightly unpredictable and therefore interesting.In its first encounter it might besomewhat hesitant,but as it came to know the user it would progress to a more relaxedand intimate style.The machine would not be a passive participant but would add itsown suggestions,information,and opinions;it would sometimes take the initiative indeveloping or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.Friendships are not made in a day,and the computer would be more acceptable as afriend if it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is getting to knowanother.At an appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that stimulatesattachment and intimacy.The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way toavoid giving an impression of over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation.After experiencing a wealth of powerful,well-timed friendship indicators,the userwould be very likely to accept the computer as far more than a machine and might wellcome to regard it as a friend.An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of the benefits that共第6页
