A
Bullying (欺凌) among schoolchildren is nothing new. Calling someone names, stealing their possessions, threatening and even beating them up are all well-established bullying techniques. Yet for young people today there is a relatively new form of bullying which can occur even when the bullies are nowhere near their victims— and it can have equal, if not more damaging effects.
Online-bullying is one of the downsides of new technology and involves using devices like mobile phones and computers. Online-bullies can strike at any time, no matter where they, or their victims are. About 22 percent of young people in the UK claim to have suffered from online-bullying.
Not only are online-bullies harder to avoid, they are also harder to catch. It is all too easy to send an anonymous (匿名的) threat by text on a pay-as-you-go phone with an unknown number. It takes no time at all to set up a false Facebook, Twitter, blog or social network account and to post an insulting message. And, if you know how to hide your IP address, you can upload an offensive video to a website like You Tube and your victim wouldn’t know who to blame.
One of the most upsetting things about online-bullying is that it can involve more people than traditional forms of bullying. A bully can insult you or tell lies about you and share that information with the entire school at the touch of a button-and for some teenagers that is all too hard to bear. The UK Charity Beatbullying suggests that up to 44% of suicides among ten-to-fourteen-year-olds may be bullying-related.
The good news is that the world is starting to wise up to online-bullying. Schools and websites like http://www.chlidnet-int.org/ offer lots of advice and victim support and social network sites now advise users to think carefully about their privacy settings so that personal information is only shared with friends.
1、Which of the following is NOT the way of bullying according to Paragraph 1?
A．Shouting abuse at somebody. B．Stealing somebody’s things.
C．Frightening somebody. D．Making a call to somebody.
2、The underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A．Benefits B．effects
C．disadvantages D．points
3、According to the writer, it is difficult to ________.
A．download a false video B．post a unfriendly message
C．know who sends online-bullies D．set up a true Facebook account
4、Why do online-bullying involve more people than traditional forms of bullying?
A．More people like to tell lies.
B．Online-bullying is easy to spread.
C．More people want to become famous.
D．More people like to make fun of others.
5、What could be the best title of the passage?

A．Bullying is harmful.
B．Bullying goes high-tech.
C．Online-bullying is hard to catch.
D．People can get rid of online-bullying.

B
The next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath you, at least if furniture maker Ikea has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture company’s “future-living” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.
AI is now walking into more aspects of people’s daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets（插座）to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.
Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though Ikea’s the new survey doesn’t directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more human0like form of virtual（虚拟的）assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender（性别）of the assistants, the most popular choice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.
Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.
This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust（生锈）, the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ikea’s survey online.
1、What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Beautiful. B．Common.
C．Normal. D．Environment.
2、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The differences between robot-like and human-like assistants.
B．What form of AI assistants people want.
C．What kind of friends people want.
D．The popular robots on the market.
3、Most people who received the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.
A．help them became smarter
B．communicate with them without troubles
C．have its own worldview
D．deal with their problems in advance
4、Which of the following products are from Ikea?
A．Smart sofas that can speak to you.
B．Smart beds than can track your daily movements.
C．Wireless charging cars.
D．Rustless bikes without chains.
