Should We Advocate Artificial Intelligence
Nowadays，it is universally acknowledged that Artificial Intelligence(AI) plays an important role in our daily lives.
On the one hand，AI such as face recognition makes our lives much more convenient and safer.What's of great importance is that AI like some robots can also do things that are too difficult or dangerous for people to do.On the other hand，with AI taking the place of people in some industries，it may
Every coin has two sides.Personally，I think only when we make good use of AI can it bring us great benefits.
be more difficult for people to get jobs to make a living.What's more，it is because AI doesn't have feelings or thoughts that some work will not be finished perfectly when some accidents occur.
Ⅱ 读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Back in the early 1980s，the idea of home computers was catching on.I wasn't keen on getting one.Somehow，I evolved and have owned several computers over the years.Some days，I loved my computer，but more often than not，I hated it.I didn't grow up with them，and they were a challenge to my mental health.Dealing with modern technology was my introduction to stress，and I know who is to blame：my children.
They weren't satisfied that their dad and I finally bought a computer and learned to send e mails.We were quite happy with that，but next came a cell phone.Then just talking on the phone was not acceptable；they insisted we learn to text as well.We couldn't get a break.
I remember well the night that an app became a household word around here.Those kids of ours were determined to set up a joint account for us.It took some convincing.We felt no guilt for grating on(激怒) their nerves considering the drama they'd sometimes created for us during their teenage years.A little payback wouldn't hurt those two.
More recently，my husband and I were forced into getting rid of our flip phones and getting smartphones.I will admit that I progressed into appreciating mine.I liked speaking to the voice assistant and finding out what I needed to know in an instant.I enjoyed having Internet access everywhere I went.I felt a sense of accomplishment；my husband—not so much.To this day，he would happily take back his flip phone.
Last weekend，our children surprised us with yet another popular form of technology—Alexa.The girls took our smartphones in hand and got us programmed.Before we fully understood what was happening，we could tell Alexa to turn our lamp on or off，and she would.To be honest，we were a bit annoyed at having to learn how to use yet another device，but we decided to keep it.We mastered turning the lamp on and off，and once again I got the hang of it sooner than my husband did.I became his Alexa coach.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One night，Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command.
We should thank our children and grandchildren.
[巧读文]
1．读要素
Who：the author；the author's husband；the author's children
Where：at home
What：The author's children recommended many modern technology products for her and her husband，and the author has gone from being very stressed to loving them.
2．读双线(情节线、情感线)
情节线：
情感线：
[妙构思]
1．读首句，定方向
第一段：由续写第一段首句“One night，Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command.”可推知，第一段可描写作者和丈夫对此的不同反应，作者用孩子们教的技能想到解决问题的办法。由续写第二段首句“We should thank our children and grandchildren.”可推知，第一段还要描写作者用孩子们教的技能解决了问题。
第二段：由续写第二段首句“We should thank our children and grandchildren.”可知，该段首先要描写作者的孩子们教的科技的作用和意义；结合上文情节提到的内容可知，文章结局可重点描述作者对新科技的感受、认识，强调孩子们对自己的影响。
2．巧设问，定细节
第一段
(1)What would I do
_____________
(2)How did my husband react
______________
Tried again/...
Complained./...
(3)What did I do

[成美文]
One night，Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command.
We should thank our children and grandchildren.
[参考范文]
One night，Alexa did not turn on the lamp when I gave the command.I tried to say “Turn on the light” to it countless times，but Alexa didn't work.“New technologies are always unreliable，”my husband complained.I searched the Internet and immediately found the reason why Alexa couldn't work.I just needed to tell Alexa to set the light color to white or whatever color I wanted，and then it would turn on the light.Following my new command，Alexa successfully turned on the light.
We should thank our children and grandchildren.It was our children and grandchildren that taught me to use technology so that I could find a solution on the Internet by myself.Without them，our life were always invariable and boring.Our children and grandchildren “force” us to accept and use technology，which may initially seem to put us under pressure.However，the fact is that our children and grandchildren helped us accept and use technology to make our life more convenient.

听第6段材料，回答第6、7题。
W：I saw an amazing program last night.It talked about the past，the present and the future.
M：What kind of things did it describe
W：Well，for example，the normal work week in the 20th century was 35 hours.Nowadays，many people work more than 40 hours a week.
M：Well，that doesn't sound like progress.
W：You're right.⑥On the show，they said that most people will work fewer hours in the future，maybe 20 hours.They also talked about the way we shop.These days，many of us shop online.In the old days，there were no supermarkets，so people had to go to lots of different shops.In the future，people will do all their shopping online.

W：The one about life being better 100 years ago？Not yet.
M：Really？I finished my essay last night.⑧No cars，no electricity，no television.What could people do in their free time？It's obvious life was much worse.
W：Yes，but I think there were still some good points.⑨There were no processed meals or fast food，so people grew their own fruit and vegetables.Surely that diet was better for them than a lot of what we eat today.
M：Well，maybe，but do you know that boys used to wear dresses？How embarrassing!

W：Really a tough decision. But I guess you should follow your own heart.If you choose something you don't like, you will be bound to feel bitter.
