9、“our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced. We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new housesomething unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The
10、 family was overjoyed at their new house that was twenty feet by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the familys three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Expecting toys and other gadgets tha
11、t children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, “I just want a bed.”The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gifts. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the near
12、est city and bought beds and new bedding.When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house t
13、o watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm in the doorway.As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, “What is that?”“A pillow,” he replied. “What do you do with it?” Eric continued to ask.“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,”
14、 I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as he handed Eric the pillow.“Oh.thats soft,” he said, hugging it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, “Do you have a pillow?”We know exactly what he means.4.What was the writers first volunteer

18、ardss impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence worksreal AI. Both of Richards and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications of AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can
19、outperform humans at routine tasksprovided the task is in one field with a lot of datait is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. Fir
20、st, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobsexecutives, diplomats, economistsgo well beyond the AI limitation of single field and big data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown job
21、s that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs wont employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger:jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathywhich AI
22、does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot to tell them they have cancer, or babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI.
