ORBIS is an international charitable （慈善的） organization． Its goal is to help fight blindness

ORBIS is always trying to keep a closer relation among countries．

ORBIS helps those developing countries by providing sight-saving training． It has taught over

You use her as a shoulder to cry on． She texts you back with casual jokes． But she， Xiaoice，

is only a virtual chat-bot．

Xiaoice， Microsoft's latest artificial intelligence robot， was briefly released in 2014， and

returned to We-Chat in 2015， where she became a big hit． Millions of young Chinese now

exchange messages with her daily， The New York Times reported． On We-Chat， Xiaoice is an

official account． After following it， users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice．

"Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice，" Liu Jinchang， a

researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and

Technology， told China Daily． Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis （表情

符号） in conversations， Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users，

China Daily reported．

Chat-bot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US． Driven by top tech companies，

they are becoming smarter and more common． For instance， IBM's latest artificial intelligence

program served as an academic consultant at Australia's Deakin University， answering students'

questions about course schedules and financial aid． Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa have been

used as voice assistants who can read news， play music and even make jokes for their users．

These programs are expected to move beyond smart-phones， into televisions， cars and living

rooms． The New York Times pointed out． However， it may take decades before scientists

develop a "Samantha"， the advanced chat-bot seen in the fiction film Her． In the film，

Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix． Many

viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates．

5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph Two mean？ ______

A. She became a best seller．B. She became very powerful．

C. She became a money maker．D. She became very popular．

A. Do housework．B. Spread messages．

C. Identify various photos．D. Read news to its users．

7. Which company's chat-bot program can act as an academic consultant？ ______

A. Microsoft．B. IBM．C. Apple．D. Amazon．

8. What can be learned from the last paragraph？ ______

A. Chat-bots mainly run on smart-phones now．

B. It'll take decades to apply chat-bots to cars．

C. Samantha is played by a US actor in the film．

D. The film Her doesn't interest many audience．

When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say， "Well， it's so-and-so's fault．" or

"I know I'm late， but it's not my fault； the car broke down．" It is probably not your fault，but

once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a

loser． You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation． However， you

can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start

focusing on how to remedy the situation． This is the winner's key to success．

Winners are great at overcoming problems． For example， if you were late because your car broke

down， maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly． Or， you might start to carry

along with you the useful phone numbers， so you could call for help when in need． For another

example， if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability，

find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person． Ask

to work with a different person， or don't rely on the person． You should accept that the person is

not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do

his job well．

This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are

successful no matter what happens． Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives； they have

just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else． They are just better at seeing those

problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents． So， stop focusing on

"whose fault it is"． Once you are confident about your power over bad situations， problems are

just stepping stop on for success．

9. According to the passage， winners ______ ．

A. deal with problems rather than blame others

B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

C. have responsible and able colleagues

D. blame themselves rather that others

10. When your colleague brings about a problem， you should ______ ．

A. find a better way to handle the problem

B. blame him for his lack of responsibility

C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

D. ask a more able colleague for help

11. When problems occur， winners take them as ______ ．

A. excuses for their failures

B. barriers to greater power

C. challenges to their colleagues

D. chances for self-development

The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to produce

electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike linked to a generator （发电机）． The idea is to get

people fit and reduce their carbon footprint． Guests will have to produce at least 10watt hours of

electricity - roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness． Guests staying at Plaza

Hotel will be given meal tickets worth ﹩36 once they have produced 10watt hours of electricity．

The bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being

generated for the hotel．

The plan， a world-first， will start on 19April and run for a year． Only guests staying at the hotel

will be able to take part． Frederikke Toemmergaard，hotel spokeswoman， said， "Many of our

visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym． There might be people who will cycle

just to get a free meal， but generally I don't think people will take advantage of our programme．"

Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day， one

of the highest percentages in the world， according to the website visitcopenhagen． dk． US

environmental website treehugger． com recently voted Copenhagen the world's best city for

cyclists． "Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling， we felt the bicycle would
