18、t 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 from O

19、xford 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.

Yet theres little scientific agreement about the exact amount of the stuff an individual should consume each day. So how muc

25、h water do you actually need to drink to be healthy?You may have heard that you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Yet, the downside of this rule, researchers say, is that drinking water by the glass is not the only way that humans take in it. The “8 X 8” rule essentially overlooks t
