3、achine or a vacuum cleaner（吸 尘 器）.So,how do household（家 用）objects that are part of Internet of things work?Well,think of a usual chair.When connected to the Internet,the chair warms up when it knows thatthe user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.An Internet-connected camera,like a sm
4、art-home camera,could help people feelsafer in their homes.It can recognize（识 别）peoples faces,and even can see when someonepasses by in the dark.Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you knowwhos there.If the person is someone you dont know,it can tell you that,too.But according t
5、o MIT Technology Review,whether companies are connecting dogfood bowls or security（安 全）systems to the Internet,there may be problems.For example,many early connected-home devices（装 置）dont have much built-in security,which meansthey could be hacked（被 黑 客 攻 击）.In addition,it could be difficult to get
6、these devices towork together because they are made by different companies.To fight this,many companieshave joined the Open Interconnect Consortium,which had 45 members by late 2014.So,picture this:you walk in through the front door of your home.The temperaturechanges to make you feel comfortable af

12、ve shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisionsthan people from any other age group,including children and adults.Is it that teenagers aretoo young to tell right from wrong?Not really.So whafs the reason?According to Laurence,a teacher from a US university,the reason is that tee
13、nagers carea lot about how their peers（同 龄 人）view them-that is“peer influence.As children enter their teenage years,they spend more time with their friends andclassmates,and also they care more about what they think of them.This makes teenagersmake decisions without thinking about the costs.In a tes

29、a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting,scientists have found that cultures and languages arealso different when it comes to numbers.Some languages have only a few words for numbers,and others have no words for numbers.A group of scientists studied a
30、boriginal（土 著 的）people in Australia.These people dont have hand movements to stand for numbers.Theydont even have word for numbers.However,they are still able to understand different ideasabout numbers.In a similar study,researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discoveredthat peopl
31、e of the Piraha tribe（部 落）in northwestern Brazil dont have words for numberssuch as“one”or“three”.They are not able to say five trees or ten trees but can say”sometrees,more trees”,or many trees”.Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believethat everyone knows how to count,but here is a grou
32、p that does not count.They could learn,but isnt not useful in their culture,so theyve never picked it up.”Although all humans are able to understand quantities（数 量），not all languages havenumbers and not all people use counting.Number words in a certain language are a result ofpeople needing numbers

38、peof technology.“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,“saidProfessor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.Hawking is a well-known British physicist and author of bestselling science book A BriefHistory of Time.This warning came after commenting（评 论）the technolo
39、gy he uses to speakwith.As Hawking has got a serious disease called ALS,he needs an AI computer tocommunicate.The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may wantto use next.This is a basic type of AI,which is very useful,yet Hawking fears the possibility ofcreating technology t
40、hat can match or surpass human intelligence.And its easy to imaginehow terrible things may be.Many TV shows and films show big,killer machines that are farcleverer than us.Humans,who are limited（限 制）by slow biological evolution（进 化）,couldnt compete,said Hawking.But not every scientist is pessimistic
41、（悲 观 的）about AI technology.I believe we will bein control of the technology for a long said Rollo Carpenter,creator of Cleverbot in theUK,which is a software program that remembers past conversations.The advantages of it tosolve many of the world problems will be realized.In what direction do you th

46、nments around the worldare beginning to work together to lower the levels of dangerous gases in the atmosphere（大 气 层）.If this can be done well,the ozone layer（臭 氧 层）can rebuild itself,global warming canbe controlled,and acid rain can be reduced.In 1967,the government of the United States passed the
47、Clean Air Act.More parts wereadded to the act in 1970,1977 and 1990.As a result of these laws,cars now must reduce theamounts of harmful gases.Power factories must use“clean coal1 methods to reduce acid-raingases they produce.In 1970,the Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）was set up.The EPAs job is
48、 tomake sure that the environmental laws are being followed and to find out new dangers andoffer solutions.The first Earth Day was also celebrated in 1970.While it is very important to address with air on a global scale,each person can also dosomething to protect the Earth.Here are some things you c
