You want a smart phone， but just how smart do you want it？ How about one that can read your mind？ Well， that phone may well be on its way...
Justin Rattner， chief researcher at Intel， says that technology has developed to the point that “context-aware computing (情景感知計算)”， an idea that’s been around for twenty years， is becoming more of a reality.
That could lead to a phone that acts as a mind reader in your pocket. But rather than simply collect secrets about you， the device could do things with that information， such as predict what you might do next and make suggestions.
Rattner gave a few examples during his speech at Intel’s developer conference in San Francisco recently.
Among them is a software that Intel worked on with Fodor’s Travel， a traveling website. It learns what types of foods you like to eat and what types of places you like to visit， based on searches you type into the phone or places you searched using GPS (全球定位系統(tǒng)). The software makes similar recommendations when you visit a new city.
Tech companies are already working to predict what people want. Search engine Google， movie-rental service Netflix， and online radio service Pandora try to guess what people want even before they know they want it.
Putting those types of functions together with the other information that phones collect about people could pave the way for even more helpful mobile phones， Rattner said.
A challenge is training computers to look at data from “hard sensors (傳感器)” (which measure place， movement， temperature and the like) and combining those findings with data from “soft sensors” (such as calendar appointments and Web browsing history).
For example， your phone could tell that you have just left school and seem to be on your way home—a location it might know from your address book. It could then tell you the best route around traffic.
Rattner added that researchers are even making
steps toward the final goal—a computer understanding of thoughts.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means — practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.
So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practise remembering.
1. According to the passage, few people know that _____.
A．a(chǎn)rms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time
B．when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong again
C．a(chǎn) person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practise remembering things
D．it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak
2. The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, _________.
A．it is his own fault
B．his parents are to blame
C．he is just unlucky
D．his arms must be weak
3. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that _________.
A．people who can’t read are cleverer than those who can
B．people who can’t write are cleverer than those who can
C．a(chǎn) little notebook helps people who cannot read or write get a better memory
D．people who practise remembering regularly have a better memory
4. The passage mainly tells us ____________.
A．how to get our arms and legs stronger
B．how to improve our memory
C．how to read and write
D．how to remember dates and prices

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
One evening a police officer was driving slowly along a road. He was off duty and was wearing plain clothes.
Suddenly he saw two men running out of a building. He heard someone shouting, “Help! Help! Stop thief!” The police officer was sure that the two men were thieves. He knew he must arrest them. However, he was not only out of uniform (制服) but also unarmed (沒有帶槍). He knew if he got out of his car and tried to arrest them, at least one of the men would easily escape. The police officer was facing a difficult problem. He knew that he mustn’t let the men escape, but how could he arrest them?
He thought quickly and had an idea. It involved danger and it might not work, but he decided to try.
He drove his car up to the men and stopped beside them. Then he put his head out of the window and asked, “Do you want a lift?”
“Yes, yes,” the men answered, and quickly got into his car. “Please take us to the railway station,” they told him.
“Very good,” the police officer said and drove off. After a few minutes, one of the men cried out, “But this isn’t the way to the railway station. Where are you going?” “I must go this way,” the police officer explained. “There’s a big fire and the traffic is held up. You don’t want to sit in a traffic jam, do you?”
“No, no,” the men agreed. “Please take us the quickest way.”
The next moment, the police officer had pulled up at the police station. He jumped out, shouted for help, and seconds later the two thieves were arrested.
61. How did the police officer decide to try to arrest the two thieves?
A. By telephoning the police for help.
B. By letting them get into his car.
C. By going back to the police station for his gun.
D. By asking people around to help him.
62. The underlined word “involved” means “ ”.
A. developed B. offered C. stopped D. caused
63. Why did the police officer tell the two thieves to get into his car instead of going to catch them directly?
A. He was afraid he would be beaten by them.
B. He was afraid they would recognize him.
C. He was afraid one of them would escape.
D. He was afraid they would not escape.
64. Soon after the two thieves got into the car they found out that ________.
A. they were not on the way to the railway station
B. the police officer was taking them to the police station
C. they were on the way to the airport
D. they were caught by the policeman
