Artificial IntelligenceIntelligent machines are a part of our daily lives. They handle Internet searches, talkto us on the phone, and plan schedules for companies. These machines all use some kind of
Artificial Intelligence (AI).
AI is the power of machines to carry out intelligent jobs. The term was first used in1956 by scientists at Dartmouth University. They were interested in programming
computers to think like people.
That’s easier said than done. In movies like I, Robot, we often see thinking machines.
They’re very smart and can do almost anything people can. Of course, the real world is quite
different. It isn’t possible yet to build computers with brains like ours.
However, we can program machines to be good at certain skills. For example, in 1997,
a supercomputer beat the world’s best chess player. Eight years later, several robot cars
finished a race across a desert. Also, many computer games have built-in AI to make themmore exciting.
And that’s just the beginning. In the future, computers with AI will handle many more
jobs. They’ll help out at banks, stores, and police departments. We can also expect to see
more robots (like SONY’s AIBO) that use AI. All these changes will make the world a very
different, yet very fascinating place.

(19) What does the article suggest about intelligent machines?
① They are smarter than most people.
② Many of them are made at Dartmouth University.
③ Only scientists are interested in them.
④ We have worked on them for more than 60 years.

(20) How are thinking machines often shown in movies?
① They are unlike real-world robots.
② They sometimes have more than one brain.
③ They are not as smart as today’s machines.
④ They usually fight against people.
4(21) What are computers or robots still unable to do?
① Drive cars across a desert② Beat excellent chess players③ Think the same way as people④ Use artificial intelligence(22) What does the word term in line 4 mean?
① word② length③ period④ rule(23) What does the article suggest about the future?
① The world will be a very dangerous place.
② Robots will help people in many fields.
③ Computers will handle all of our work.
④ SONY’s AIBO will be a best-selling item.

Why Koalas Don’t Go Looking for Water
Why don’t Koalas need to look for water? The answer lies far back in Australia’s
Aboriginal days. In fact, it all started with a lazy boy named Koala. Australia can get very
hot and dry in the summertime, and water was, therefore, very important to the people ofKoala’s village. They had to walk long distances to search for water. Water is very heavy tocarry, and so Koala wanted no part of carrying it. He preferred to stay at home and sleep allday on the branch of a cool tree.
One summer, it was unusually dry and Koala began to get very thirsty. He asked thepeople in the village for water, but they refused because Koala was so lazy. He waited until
they left their homes to look for water, and then Koala stole water from the houses of hisneighbors. He drank and drank until he couldn’t drink any more, and he carried the rest ofthe water up into a tall tree to hide it.
When the villagers returned home, they soon noticed that all their water was gone.
They immediately suspected Koala and went looking for him. They found him high up in
the tree and shouted for him to come down. They shook their fists at Koala and threatened
to punish him, but he just thumbed his nose at them and refused to come down. Several ofthe men attempted to climb up after him but he pushed them down with his feet. He felt
safe and even went so far as to throw water onto the heads of the villagers.
The gods were very angry at Koala for stealing and wasting water and decided topunish him. While he was laughing, Koala was shocked to find his skin slowly turning tofur, and his nose becoming small and black. He had been transformed into an animal!
This happened long ago, but still, to this day, koalas refuse to go looking for water.
They prefer, instead, to satisfy their thirst by chewing on the leaves of eucalyptus trees. And
just as the lazy boy did so long ago, koalas still sleep most of the day high up in trees.

6(24) When did this story take place?
① Before Aboriginals came to Australia.
② When Aboriginals were the only people in Australia.

① He was shot by the villagers.
② He had to carry water for the villagers.
③ He was not allowed to drink any water for the rest of his life.
④ He was turned into an animal.

(27) How do koalas get their water?
① By drinking it out of lakes and ponds② By getting it from people③ By eating eucalyptus leaves④ By eating fruit(28) What is the moral of this story?
① Don’t be bad or you’ll be punished.
② Be honest and you will be rewarded.
③ There’s little water in Australia.
④ Don’t drink too much water or you’ll get sick.

Olympic gold medals. She achieved her goal, becoming only the second Japanese woman towin three wrestling gold medals.

I was greatly honored,” Yoshida said after the event. In 2014, a newly built sports facility inYoshida’s hometown, Tsu City in Mie Prefecture, was named “Saorina” in her honor.
Yoshida, who served as an Olympic bid ambassador, expressed great pleasure at theannouncement that Tokyo will host the 2020 Olympics, calling the selection “a credit to theefforts of entire nation.” She also said that she will continue to compete until the Tokyo
Olympics.
When she steps onto the canvas before a competition, Yoshida is absolutely determined
to win. She is always keen on studying ways to keep ahead of her competitors. “I hope thatthe younger generation has a dream and a goal,” she has said, adding, “Any effort one makes
to realize a dream will not be in vain.”8
