【正文】 d, I guess, a lot of parents worry about like which college I39。 m going to, how far away it is from home. Instead, he was upset about the world his generation is turning over to mine, a world he fears has a dark and difficult future if it has a future at all. There will be a disease that kills millions, a disastrous energy crisis, a horrible worldwide depression and a nuclear explosion set off in anger. As I lay on the living room couch, listening to their conversation, starting to worry about the future my father was describing, I found myself looking at some old family photos. There was a picture of my grandfather who was a member of the class of 1942, the war class. Next to his picture were photos of my great﹣grandparents. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better. I believe tomorrow will be better than today — that the world my generation grows into is going to get better, not worse. Those pictures helped me understand why. I considered some of the awful things my grandparents and great﹣grandparents had seen in their lifetimes: two world wars, killer flu, segregation（隔離） , a nuclear bomb. But they saw other things, too, better things: the end of two world wars, passage of the civil rights laws. I believe that my generation will see better things, too that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated. I will see things as incredible to me today as the internet to my father when he was 16.（1）Why was the author39。s dad upset on a recent night？ A.He was upset about which college for the author to go to.B.He was upset that the college is too far from the author39。s home.C.He was worried about his dark and difficult future ing soon.D.What upset him is whether there is a future for the author39。s generation.（2）What was the author39。s first reaction to his father39。s worry?

A branch of AI known as deep learning, which uses neural(神經(jīng)的) networks to scan through large volumes of data looking for patterns, has proven so useful that skilled practitioners can mand high sixfigure salaries to build software for Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google. The standard route into these jobs has been a PhD in puter science from one of America39。s top universities. Earning one takes years and requires a personality suited to academia, which is rare among more normal folk. That is changing. Last month , a nonprofit education organization based in San Francisco, kicked off the third year of its course in deep learning. Since its foundation it has attracted more than 100, 000 students around the globe from India to Nigeria. The course and others like it, e with a simple idea: there is no need to spend years obtaining a PhD in order to practise deep learning. Creating software that learns can be taught as a craft, not as a high intellectual pursuit to be undertaken only in an ivory tower. Fast. ai39。s course can be pleted in just seven weeks. To make it accessible to anyone who wants to learn how to build AI software is the aim of Jeremy Howard, who founded with Rachel Thomas, a mathematician. He says school mathematics is sufficient. No. Greek. Letters, Mr. Howard intones, pounding the table with his fist for punctuation. Some experts worry that this will serve only to create a flood of unreliable AI systems which will be useless at best and dangerous at worst. In the earliest days of the Internet, only a select few nerds, namely puter holies with specific skills, could build applications. Not many people used them. Then the invention of the World Wide Web led to an explosion of web pages, both good and bad. But it was only by opening up to all that the Internet gave birth to online shopping, instant global munications and search. If Mr. Howard and others have their way, making the development of AI software easier will bring forth a new crop of fruit of a different kind.（1）What can we learn about deep learning? A.It replaces artificial intelligence.B.It attracts rock stars to practice.C.It scans patterns for large panies.D.It
