Many of us now live in gated communities（封闭式社区）. Only people who live there can go freely inside , and only their cars can pass through the gates . But are you hoping for a more open and convenient environment ?
Open communities have already become popular in many cities of other countries , like Paris , France , and New York City , US . There , the roads , shops and green areas are for everyone . “ Humans need communication and sharing . A good city needs to offer people enough space to do this , ” said Wang Weiqiang , a city planning expert from Tongji University . Turning gated communities into blocks（街区）is one way to achieve this , according to the Chinese government . On Feb 21 , the government said that gated communities should be open to the public .
With no gates and walls , everyone can enjoy a city with bigger green areas for picnics and more cafes and bookstores to meet your friends . Another good change blocks may bring is better traffic in cities , according to Professor Li Hongchang from Beijing Jiaotong University . There will be more roads open to the public . And more people may choose to walk rather than drive cars because they don’t need to take a long way to get around those gated communities .
However , not everyone likes the idea of open communities . Quite a lot of people say they have spent money on the roads inside the communities , and they worry about safety problems when communities are open .
The Chinese government explained that the open would be carried out step by step and more detailed（详细的）plans would come out in the future . Also , they have been testing blocks in some areas in Chengdu , Sichuan , and so far it has been working well . 58. __________ can go freely in the gated communities .
6
A. People with cars B. People living inside C. People living around D. Everyone in the city
59. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of open communities ? A. They will bring better traffic .
B. People can enjoy bigger green areas and more cafes and bookstores . C. People can have more communication and sharing with each other . D. More cars and buses will go through the communities .
60. Some people are against this idea of open communities because __________ . A. they will take a long way to get around the communities
B. they will spend more money on the road inside the communities C. they worry about safety problems
D. this idea doesn’t work well in Chengdu
61. The best title of the news may be “__________ ” . A. An Environmental Problem B. The Future City
C. The Idea of Open Communities
D. Communication and Sharing of Humans D
Who is smarter ? A human being or artificial intelligence（AI，人工智能）? The whole world talked about this question when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo beat the world top player , Lee Sedol from South Korea . Computers beat humans in checkers（中国象棋）and chess . Go（围棋）, a game first developed in China , is much more complex（复杂的）than those two .
Some people are worried that AI will be a bad thing for humans . UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that the “ development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the humans ” . Is that true ?
In fact , now robots are coming into people’s lives these days . Robots help people a lot . Japanese housekeeping robots can move chairs , sweep the floor , take away dirty dishes and put dirty clothes in washing machines . Intel , the famous computer maker , has invented a self-controlled robot called Herb. Herb can do simple things that people tell it to do , such as cleaning up waste .
Recently a large robot named “ Probo ” has been helping children to feel less worried in hospital . Probo , which was invented by Ivan Hermans , president of the Anty Foundation , has a touch screen on its stomach . The screen teaches children how to use Probo . The green robot’s face can make expressions to show how medical operations（手术）will make the child feel . “ The main aim of the project is to make emotional（情感）communication with children . ” said Jelle Saldien , one of the researchers . We have a long way to go before AI can truly be similar to the human brain , so there is now need to be afraid of it now . Our fate（命运）is in our own hands ! What we have to do now is to make good use of the technology to improve the world . 62. According to the passage , __________ is the most complex board game .
