[N] The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so she decided to move her into a more weling facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision. 36. Many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place other than a nursing home for their parents. it helps for children to investigate care facilities, involving their parents in the decisionmaking process may prove very important. is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursing home. a resident feels depends on an interaction between themselves and the care facility they live in. author thinks her friend made a rational decision in choosing a more hospitable place over an apparently elegant assisted living home. system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality is of little help to finding a satisfactory place. first the researchers of the most recent study found residents in assisted living facilities gave higher scores on social interaction. kind of care facility old people live in may be less important than we think. findings of the latest research were similar to an earlier multistate study of assisted living. resident’s satisfaction with a care facility has much to do with whether they had participated in the decision to move in and how long they had stayed there. Section C Directions:There are 2 passages in this passage is followed by some questions or unfinished each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre. Passage one Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. As Artificial Intelligence(AI)bees increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could bee a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to puter science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code. Russell argues that as robots take on more plicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language. For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children.“You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,”said Russell. Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a fortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly broughtup person would do. It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules. Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human are dangerous only if programmers are careless. The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo(禁忌). One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation. If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity
