I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon’s long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.
As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.
第16题:In what way can we make a machine intelligent?
A) By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.
B) By working hard for 10 or 20 years.
C) By either properly programming it or changing its structure.
D) By reproducing it.

From: Christina van Dijk
To: Heinz Niebaum
Subject: Meeting next week
Dear Heinz,
I am coming to Germany next Wednesday at 10:00 A.M. I will be at our office in Berlin. I am free on Thursday at 9:00 A.M. to go to Potsdam and meet with you. Are you available then?
I'd like to talk about ordering computer systems from your company. Our offices in Utrecht and Tillburg are expanding and need to upgrade their technology. I'd also like to meet with a trainer from your company so that we can work out a training package. Also, could you bring a training manual with you?
Let me know if you need me to bring anything. Also let me know if 9:00 isn't good for you. Maybe we can work something out later in the day.
Christina

Christina,
I'm delighted that you're coming to Germany. It will be very convenient for us to meet because I will actually be in Potsdam from Tuesday through Friday, so we'll be able to meet at our office there on the day you suggested. The time you suggested is a bit early for me as I will be meeting with our CEO all morning. Are you available to meet at noon? Perhaps we could meet during lunch.
I will bring the materials that you requested. The odor Eckert, our training supervisor, will join us. It would be helpful if you could bring some of your company's brochures and a copy of the annual report for us. Thank you.
Heinz
