     Collecting information about (申请表) are closely connected, However, filling out an appheation

fornt is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.

      That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the

questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or lerms and conditions, you can make some

changes before signing (签约) it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize

is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important,

or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your

interests in mind.

     I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions

that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has

ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything, If anyone

questiones them. We would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both siders.

     So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and

read it slowly. If you don't like something, you can simply change the parts you don't like, Remember that

everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position (立场),

of course, and that is something only you can determine.

A. everything connected with application forms is easier

      To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence (智力)? The answer to this question may lie in a

newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet. 

       If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid's huge memory. It can recite

many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season. 

       He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US.

However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get stranger answers. A question about Smarter

Child's age returns. "One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!" Asking where he lives gets,

"In a clean room in a high-tech building in California."

       Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer

questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the

weather, he visits www.intellicast.com. 

       Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial being with the

combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However

if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A.I.,

Artificial Intelligence, he must overcome two problems. 

       The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different

ways. That's why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a

much more difficult task to let him find it himself.

       Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process (处理) information more exactly and faster

than any human, he lacks common sense-a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young

child.

1. From the text we can infer that www.inte3llicast.com is a website _____. [ ]

A. which is specially designed to help Smarter Child

B. where we people can find Smarter Child

D. which is about artificial intelligence

2. It is probably most difficult for Smarter Child to _____.[ ]

A. tell us how to spell a difficult word

B. tell us how the American government is run

C. provide us with a famous poem by Shakespeare

D. learn how to tell right behaviors from wrong ones.

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? [ ]

A. Smart Child has his own memory bank big enough for all kinds of information.

B. A.I. Artificial Intelligence is probably the name of a film about a boy-computer.

C. Smart Child can recognize different files and find information needed on his own.

D. We have similar product now which has the knowledge of Einstein, Nixon and Spears.

4. Which of the following is the bet title for the passage? [ ]

A. A New Web Child
