1. The networked computer is an amazing device. It is the first media machine that serves as the mode of production (you can make stuff), means of distribution (you can upload stuff to the network), site of 1 (you can download stuff and interact with it), and place of praise and criticism (you can comment on the stuff you have downloaded or uploaded). 2 , the computer is the 21st century's culture machine.
But for all the reasons there are to 3 the computer, we must also act with caution. This is because the networked computer has started a secret war between downloading and uploading—between passive consumption and active 4 —whose outcome will shape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.
All animals download, but only a few upload anything besides faces and their own bodies. Humans are 5 in their capacity to not only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous(过剩的) material goods (paintings, sculpture and architecture) and superfluous experiences (music, literature, religion and philosophy). 6 , it is precisely these superfluous things that define human culture and ultimately what it is to be human. Downloading and consuming culture requires great skills, but 7 to move beyond downloading is to rob oneself of a defining ingredient of humanity.
Despite the possibilities of our new culture machines, most people are still 8
download mode, brought about by television watching. Even after the 9 of widespread social media, a pyramid of production remains, with a small number of people uploading material, a slightly larger group commenting on or modifying that content, and a huge percentage remaining satisfied to just 10 .
The networked computer offers the first chance in 50 years to 11 the flow caused by TV viewing, to encourage thoughtful downloading and, even more importantly, meaningful uploading. The computer offers the opportunity to bring about a complete 12 from the culture of television and a shift from a consumption model to a production model. This is a historic opportunity. Fifty years of television dominance has given birth to an unhealthy culture. The 13 is now in our collective grasp. It involves controlling our intake, or downloading, and 14 our levels of activity—uploading.
Of course people will still download. Nobody uploads more than a tiny percentage of the culture they consume. But using the networked computer as a download-only device, or even a download-mainly device, is a 15 opportunity that history affords us. Therefore, the goal must be to establish a balance between consumption and production.

2. In many cases, online classes can be a gift to college students everywhere. They're different from traditional classes in many ways, which can be a welcome 1 for students. So what exactly do students love about taking online classes —A 2 schedule.
One thing that many college students probably 3 about traditional, in-person classes is that they're inflexible. Whether you have a Monday-Wednesday class, a Tuesday-Thursday class, or what have you, there is usually a specific schedule you need to 4 and you must attend the class in person.
5 , online classes are much more flexible. They don't 6 you to attend class at a particular time, which means you have the opportunity to do your work whenever you see fit. Of course, this comes with a possible 7 if you aren't the best at managing your time. However, if you are 8 at managing your own schedule and getting your assignments and studying done in a timely manner, then online classes are a great 9 for you.
What's more, if your entire program is online (e,g. if you're 10 an online master's degree), this 11 you a lot more flexibility than if you're attending traditional university classes. 12 if you happen to have a part-time or even full-time job at the same time, you will be able to get your work done for your online classes on your own time — 13 in the evenings when you come home from work, in the mornings before work, on the weekends, or any time 14 .
15 , flexibility with your classes gives you the chance to make time for other important things in your life—like working a job to earn some money, spending time with friends and family, and also taking much-needed time for yourself.

3. Have you ever heard someone say that he can't see the forest for the trees If so, you may have 1 what this curious phrase means. If you can see the trees, how is the forest not 2 too
This popular phrase accurately describes situations in which people sometimes get caught up in the details so that they lose sight of the big picture. 3 , you're paying so much attention to the trees that you forget that the trees are just part of the larger forest.
This is a problem we all 4 from time to time. When observing our world, it's easy to focus on interesting details and ignore larger concepts. For 5 , though, it's important to be able to focus on both the forest and the trees.
Since the 6 of scientific inquiry thousands of years ago, observations have been 7 .The first scientists used their senses to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste the world around them. Through these 8 , they learned about their world and began to search for answers to the questions that 9 arose.
Today, scientists even rely upon their five senses to make observations. However, they also take advantage of modern 10 to make observations with a wide variety of tools. These enable them to "see" the world in ways beyond what their five senses 11 .
From satellite telescopes to atomic microscopes, 12 scientists use these tools to observe the world in ways never 13 by early scientists. Some of these tools allow them to 14 small details while others help them to see the big 15 .

4. Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience: the iPad.
Instead of looking at nature, I 1 my e-mail. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading 2 newspapers each morning. And that was the problem: I was acting as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my 3 wasn't.
So this year I made up my mind to try something 4 : getting away from the Internet. I knew it wouldn't be easy, 5 I'm not good at self-control. But I was 6 . I started by handing the iPad to my wife. Then, a stroke of luck: The mobile phone 7 at our cabin was worse than in the past. I was trapped, forced to carry out my plan. Largely 8 from e-mail and my favourite newspaper websites, I had little way to 9 the world. I had no 10 but to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.
With determination and the strong support of my wife, I succeeded in my vacation struggle against the Internet. I finally 11 that it was me, of course, not the iPad, that was the 12 .
I knew I had 13 when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. "Don't need it," I said. 14 , as we return to work, a test begins: Can I survive when I'm back at work I don't plan to 15 my iPad completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (抵抗诱惑) to use it every five minutes.

5. Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly. Motor cars 1 a hundred miles in more than an hour, aircraft cross the world within a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of 2 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘) of 3 precious seconds in handling tasks.
All these save time, but at a cost. When we lose or 4 half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag(时差). Our bodies feel that they have been 5 behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at 6 results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers: too much use may transmit harmful 7 into our brains.
However, how do we 8 the time we have saved Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so used to constant activity that we find it 9 to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a 10 . Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 11 to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation(耕作) of the 12 or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace. There is much that we might envy about a 13 of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors 14 . Modern machines have 15 people from that primitive existence.

6. Face Shape Lets AI Spot Rare Disorders
People with genetic syndromes(综合征) sometimes have revealing facial features, but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis can be 1 given that there are hundreds of possible conditions they may have. A new neural(神经的) network that analyses photographs of faces can help doctors 2 the possibilities.
Yaron Gurovich at a biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at the overall impression of faces and 3 a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person is most likely to have.
They 4 the neural network, called DeepGestalt, on 17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than 200 genetic syndromes. The team then asked AI to 5 potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photos of people with such conditions. It included the correct answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time.
Gurovich and his team also 6 the neural network's ability to distinguish between the different genetic mutations that can lead to the same syndrome. They used photographs of people with Noonan syndrome, which can result from mutations in any one of five genes. DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time. It's clearly not 7 , but it's still much better than humans are at trying to do this.
As the system makes its assessments, the facial regions that are most helpful in the determination are 8 and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand the relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance.
The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions about 9 . If faces can reveal details about genetics, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle, 10 use such techniques to 11 against people who have a high probability of having certain disorders. 12 , Gurovich says the tool will only be 13 for use by clinicians.
This technique could bring significant 14 for those who have genetic syndromes. The real value here is that for some of these ultra-rare diseases, the process of diagnosis can be many, many years. This kind of technology can help narrow down the search space and then be confirmed through checking genetic markers. For some diseases, it will cut down the time to diagnose dramatically. For others, it could perhaps add means of finding other people with the disease and, 15 , help find new treatments or cures.
