Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives，we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future，and this is where AI by Design：A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical ①roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution(變革)．
In the wrong hands，such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code(代碼) that powers AI but，thankfully，Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience ②translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic，making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which，by the close，will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design，AI is already super-smart and will become more capable，moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence.From there，Campbell says，will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now—several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence，or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with AI to ③pan out.Such structured thinking，followed by global regulation，will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all，and if you only read one book on the subject，this is it.

“Why does grandpa have ear hair？” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime.Now a ①soon-to-be fourth grader，she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fun to learn.” I am shocked.As a scientist and parent，I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children.Where did I go wrong
My child’s experience is not unique.Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous(自發的)” investigation and eagerness for new information drops ②dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science，Yale psychologist Frank C．Keil details the development of wonder—a spontaneous passion to explore，discover，and understand.He takes us on a journey from its early development，when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning，through the ③drop-off in wonder that often occurs，to the trap of life in a society that ④devalues wonder.
As Keil notes，children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms(因果機制) in the preschool and early elementary school years.They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals，and they expertly use their desire for questioning.Children’s questions，particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their ⑤day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately，as Keil notes，“adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book，Wonder，Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners，encouraging question-asking，and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable.Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone.I value wonder deeply，and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
1．What is a common problem among fourth graders
A．They upset their parents too often.
B．They ask too many strange questions.
C．Their love for fun disappears quickly.
D．Their desire to learn declines sharply.
2．What can be inferred about children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4
A．They control children’s sensitivity.
B．They slightly change in early childhood.
C．They hardly support children’s reasoning.
D．They develop through children’s questioning.
3．How can parents support children’s ongoing wonder according to Keil
A．By monitoring their games.
B．By welcoming inquiring minds.
C．By estimating their abilities.
D．By providing reasonable conclusions.

“John Cotter’s Losing Music is a powerful addition to the classic memoir(自傳)，” said Gretchen Cherington in The Millions.The first-time author has a strange disease that causes severe hearing loss，and Cotter shows well how destructive(破壞性的) the condition can be.Music first began disappearing，then the sound of the ocean.Beginning when he was 30，a ringing in his ears came and went，sometimes becoming so loud that it was painful.As his condition got worse significantly，he found how the loss of normal hearing separated him quickly from the whole world of pleasure.“The feeling is like losing life’s colour.” After detailing how he fell into complete despair，his “①hard-hitting，beautiful，②deep-going” book also reveals how he managed to rediscover a certain sense of satisfaction again.
“The most memorable sections in Losing Music are about Cotter’s daily struggles，” said Lisa Zeidner in The Washington Post.As a poet and essayist who was working as a part-time writing professor when his hearing troubles began，“he is lyrical about sounds we take for granted：rain beating windows，③old-fashioned heating hissing(嘶嘶響)，a cat drinking water.” Still，“he reserves his most passionate writing for music，” providing ④poetically precise descriptions of much of the music he has loved，and connecting the loss of those experiences to the loneliness of being deaf.By 33，his hearing was gone.Hearing aids and medication helped begin a partial improvement.
“Cotter ultimately finds the best hope for a life without music：to get right with silence，” said Melissa Holbrook Pierson in The Wall Street Journal.There can be no happy ending in a book about hearing loss，but in writing it，he “turned difficulty into quiet success”. Losing Music comes closest to capturing what’s behind music “by nearly being music itself”．Even though his hearing has failed him，“evidence that Cotter’s ear is still keen for the beautiful tune of language sings from every page.”
9．What do we know about Cotter from paragraph 1
A．Losing Music is his first work.
B．He knows well about his illness.
C．The ringing in his ears was like music.
D．He drives away loneliness by writing.
10．What impresses Lisa Zeidner most about Cotter in Losing Music
A．His keen sense of music.
B．His position as a professor.
C．His daily hardship and effort.
D．His detailed style of writing.
11．How does Cotter finally deal with his illness
A．He tries his best to cure it.
B．He comes to terms with it.
C．He ignores the inconvenience of it.
D．He collects evidence about it.
12．What is the text
A．A diary entry. B．A book review.
C．A news report. D．A biography.

“John Cotter’s Losing Music is a powerful addition to the classic memoir(自傳)，” said Gretchen Cherington in The Millions.The first-time author has a strange disease that causes severe hearing loss，and Cotter shows well how destructive(破壞性的) the condition can be.Music first began disappearing，then the sound of the ocean.Beginning when he was 30，a ringing in his ears came and went，sometimes becoming so loud that it was painful.As his condition got worse significantly，
he found how the loss of normal hearing separated him quickly from the whole world of pleasure.“The feeling is like losing life’s colour.” After detailing how he fell into complete despair，his “①hard-hitting，beautiful，②deep-going” book also reveals how he managed to rediscover a certain sense of satisfaction again.
語篇解讀　這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了John Cotter所著Losing Music一書的寫作背景、主要內容以及獲得的評價。
“The most memorable sections in Losing Music are about Cotter’s daily struggles，” said Lisa Zeidner in The Washington Post.As a poet and essayist who was working as a part-time writing professor when his hearing troubles began，“he is lyrical about sounds we take for granted：rain beating windows，③old-fashioned heating hissing(嘶嘶響)，a cat drinking water.” Still，“he reserves his most passionate writing for music，” providing ④poetically precise descriptions of much of the music he has loved，and connecting the loss of those experiences to the loneliness of being deaf.By 33，his hearing was gone.Hearing aids and medication helped begin a partial improvement.
“Cotter ultimately finds the best hope for a life without music：to get right with silence，” said Melissa Holbrook Pierson in The Wall Street Journal.There can be no happy ending in a book about hearing loss，but in writing it，he “turned difficulty into quiet success”. Losing Music comes closest to capturing what’s behind music “by nearly being music itself”.Even though his hearing has failed him，“evidence that Cotter’s ear is still keen for the beautiful tune of language sings from every page.”
