Yet, the memory of sitting alone and being bullied still affects her, especially since she knows her experience isnt an isolated one. Hampton said the reason wh

20、y she felt an app like this was necessary, is because it prevents kids from being publicly rejected and being considered social outcasts by their classmates. “This way its in secret Its through the phone. No one else has to know,” she explained, “And you know that youre not going to be rejected once

21、 you get to the table.”When students especially the “cool kids” stand up to builying, it has an important effect.

25、ld a mixed opinion to it.23（8分）As trees across the northern areas turn gold and deep red, you can find autumn colors in parks and woodlands, in the cities, countryside, and mountains. People are wondering what these colors are for. For years, scientists have worked to understand the changes that hap

26、pen to trees in the autumn. Up to now there have been different explanations for why natural selection makes autumn colors so widespread.Dr. Hamilton from Oxford University proposed that bright autumn leaves contained a message: they warn insects to leave them alone. In autumn, insects choose trees

27、where they will lay eggs. When the larvae（幼虫）come out the next spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result of destruction of the trees. Dr. Hamilton suggested that trees could ward off these insects with poisons. They could have strong defenses by letting egg-laying insects know what was in

28、store for their eggs.Dr. Hamilton and students turned the theory into a mathematical model, which showed that warning signals could indeed drive the evolution（进化）of bright leaves. It was a first attempt to see what was out there.A research team from the University of Wisconsin gave a quite different

29、 explanation. “If you are up here in Wisconsin, by the time leaves change, all the insects that feed on leaves are gone.” Dr. Hoch said. He believed that autumn colors served mainly as protection.According to Dr. Hoch and his team, autumn colors might be able to protect the leaves from sun damage or

30、 frost（冰冻）injuryin other words, they actually act as a sunscreen to avoid the destruction to the leaves. Besides, autumn colors might protect the leaves from water loss. If the cells in the leaves become dry, the connections between the cells will be weakened and leaves will break off.Although there

31、 are different explanations about autumn colors, it has really given them a deeper concern for this time of year. “People sometimes say that science makes the world less interesting by just explaining things away,” one famous biologist said. “But with autumn leaves, the more you know about them, the

32、 more amazed you are.”1、According to Dr. Hamilton, there is a connection between_.Athe size of leaves and the survival of insectsBthe size of leaves and the behavior of insectsCthe size of leaves and the quality of insectsDthe size of leaves and the number of insects2、Dr. Hoch and his team give the

35、as embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not

36、be super intelligentThat should be positive if we manage well. A few decades after that, though, the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”Well, maybe I dont have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet. After I use them I can always pull the plug. But in the future, machines m

37、ight find a way to prevent us from switching them off. Theres a terrible thought!Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some weve seen in sci-fi movies. What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient. Thats what philosopher Nick Bostrom fro

38、m Oxford University believes. He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals，the destruction of people might be just additional damage. Bostrom gives us an example: A machine which might have its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at hum

39、an bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you.
