【正文】 find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers. Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learn more about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for. Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA. Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver39。s license and the new barcode (條形碼). Facial recognition is already pletely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store. Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory. 2019 will be the year AI bees real for medicine. By the end of the year we39。re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind. Mark Michalski, executive director, Massachusetts General Hospital.（1）What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs?

And I would like to tell you a few personal stories. I grew up reading British and American children39。s books. When I began to write, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blueeyed, they ate apples and talked a lot about the weather, despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. We ate mangoes, and we never talked about the weather. Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign, I had bee convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them. Things changed when I discovered African books. Because of writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye, I went through a mental shift in my idea of literature. I realized that people like me, girls with skin the color of chocolate, could also exist in literature. I started to write about things I recognized. So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this: It saved me from having a single story of what books are. The year I turned eight, we got a new house boy Fide from a nearby rural village. The only thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor. And when I didn39。t finish my dinner, my mother would say，F(xiàn)inish your food! Don39。t you know? People like Fide39。s family have nothing. So I felt enormous pity for Fide39。s family. Then one Saturday, we went to his village to visit, and his mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket that his brother had made. I was astonished. It had not occurred to me that anybody in his family could actually make something. Their poverty was my single story of them. Years later, when I left Nigeria to go to university in the United States, my American roommate asked where I had learned to speak English so well, and was confused when I said that Nigeria happened to have English as its official language. What struck me was this: She had felt sorry for me even before she saw me. My roommate had a single story of Africa: a single story of catastrophe. Of course, Africa is a continent full of catastrophes. But there are other stories that are not about catastrophe, and it is very important, it is just as important, to talk about them. The consequence of the single story is this: It robs people of dignity. It makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult. It emphasizes how we are different rather t
