First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia shows what a great well-rounded student you are. Your academic, artistic, and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years. You have become a talented and accomplished young woman. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.
College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I want to tell you: “Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten”. What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about— this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner.
Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. In his great speech given at Stanford, he gave the great example where he took calligraphy, and a decade later, it became the basis of the beautiful letters in Microsoft Word. So don't worry too much about what job you will have, and don't be too utilitarian (功利的) , and if you like Japanese or Korean, go for it! Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots.
Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your mom and me. Pick a few friends and become really close to them— pick the ones who are honest and sincere to you. Don't worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. You have developed some real friendships in high school in your last two years, so trust your instinct, and make new friends.
College is the four years where you have the greatest amount of free time, the first chance to be independent, the most possibilities to change and the lowest risk for making mistakes. So please treasure your college years! May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.

Quantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I've also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.
For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to tum climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can't keep. “What's new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”
As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work's potential. If researchers can't keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “ ‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn't be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.
After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. Taylor shares Johnson's concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.
The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin (幅度) ” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”
Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims I don't know. I'm certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.
28. Regarding Johnson's concerns, the author feels _______.
A. Sympathetic B. unconcerned C. doubtful D. excited
29. What leads to Taylor's optimism about quantum computing
A. His dominance in physics. B. The competition in the field.
C. His confidence in PyQuantum. D. The investment of tech companies.
30. What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. open. B. cool. C. useful. D. resistant.
31. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor
B. Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology
C. Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being
D. Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype
D
Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren't close to mastering: mind reading.
Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people's actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so easily to us, though, that we often don't think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life— to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball— we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people's minds.
Psychologists refer to the ability to infer another's mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it's raining”, they can quickly conclude that the answer is no.
But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.
Moreover, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one's own learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of theory of mind. In addition, AI may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There can be many forms of theory of mind that we don't know about simply because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.
Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. Humans can clearly explain their goals and desires to each other using common language and ideas. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
32. According to the passage, which of the following contexts can AI understand well
A. When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply “a sore throat”.
B. When a teacher asks for a boy's homework and he answers “my dog ate it”
C. When a mom tells her kid some food is good for health and the kid eats it.
D. When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder.
33. The author believes that _______.
A. humans' theory of mind is far from perfect
B. humans limit AI's theory of mind to an extent
C. we should reject human-like forms of abilities for AI
D. shared forms of theory of mind result in more powerful AI
34. As for AIs, what does the author value most
A. Reliability. B. Practicability.
C. Reasoning capability. D. Communication ability.
35. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected
B. AI with Theory of Mind Will Reshape Our Future
C. AI's Theory of Mind Is a Blessing or Suffering to Humans
D. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI

Self-esteem is the ruling view you have of yourself. This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. 36 Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled Understanding this mysterious emotional currency might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth.
People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others. People with low self-esteem may tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it's true.
People may see them as obnoxious or “full of themselves”. 37 They are not shy about sharing ideas, including constructive criticisms of others. They also take care of themselves without second-guessing or apologizing. They are the people who we say seem “sure of themselves”.
If you're starting to think you may have low self-esteem, you can work on the way you talk to yourself. When you turn off negative self-talk, you can open the floor to positive reinforcements and access the courage to show different sides of yourself. It isn't going to feel good at first, though. Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help. 38
However, in serious cases of low or even non-existent self-esteem, you may want to call in a professional or a specialist. Good mental health is important, and professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or give corrections. 39 It is the best way to get at the roots of your real self-esteem problems.
40 It will take some work but your entire life-from your relationships to your body image to your work habits-will be touched with the kind of power that only comes from someone believing in themselves. This is the hardest part, and the greatest leap. With some changes and support, you can improve your self-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result.
A. Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though
B. You have the power to shape a new self-perception
C. This encourages you to speak openly without worry
D. The real test of character is whether they can learn from their mistakes
E. Self-esteem refers to a person's overall sense of his or her value or worth
F. People with a healthy level of self-esteem present themselves with a casual confidence
G. With some practice and persistence, you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth

Some of the greatest problems we face today are concerned with the gradual destruction of our environment. Brown clouds; wildlife 41 ; polluted water. These 42 all seem so huge.

But does it do any good

However, the next day they 47 again. This time a few more struggle along with them, but the vast majority still 48 no attention, so these pioneers come back.
The 49 continues for several more days. Every time a few more birds join in but, 50 the thousands of others still take no 51 , the great migration plan is once again 52 .
Then one day something 53 . The same small group of birds takes wing and a tiny number more join in, just as before. And this time their total number, though still quite 54 , is enough to tip the balance. As one, the whole group takes flight and the migration 55 . What a 56 sight it must be - thousands of flamingos taking to the sky at once!
A few can make a 57 . It's true that all of the great problems of the world have been solved because of the 58 efforts of a few.
If you believe in a cause (事业), don't 59 ! Others will someday take notice and together we will 60 even our greatest problems.

For protecting endangered neighbors, pandas make unreliable umbrellas.
Like many/undergraduate biology students, Wang Fang was taught that pandas are a prime example of 61 umbrella species— a well-known and usually endangered animal 62 protection benefits an entire ecosystem.
In fact, the story is much 63 (complex), according to findings that Dr. Wang, now an ecologist at Fudan University in Shanghai, published last month in Biological Conservation. Refuting(反驳) years of 64 (assume) about the universal benefits of panda conservation, Dr. Wang and his colleagues report that a number of other 65 (threaten)species are not being protected by the panda umbrella.
Panda conservation, on its own, 66 (be) a success up to now. In the 1980s, pandas had very little protection in the wild and were thought to add up to around just 1, 100 individuals. In the 1990s, China began to 67 (active) conserve wild populations. Eventually sixty-seven panda-specific protected areas 68 (represent) 70 percent of the species' range were established.
All of those efforts focused simply not on other species, 69 on the national treasure of China. Dr. Wang began to question the umbrella species narrative and carried out research, only 70 (find)that panda conservation had not helped large carnivores in China.
