The subjects（受試者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a puter. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.5．閱讀理解 【點評】詞義猜測題和主旨題是閱讀理解題中?？碱}型。 （4）主旨題。 根據The collapse of any of the networks of relations our wellbeing （健康） depends upon, produce terrible results. 可知，此處指我們健康所依靠的網絡中的任何一個突然崩潰或垮掉了，都會產生很糟糕的后果。根據 This can lead to the mistaken belief—the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all ，故選C。根據 Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective, but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process.

We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills. As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps they39。 In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence, we have easy access to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The collapse of any of the networks of relations our wellbeing （健康） depends upon, such as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry。 Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen. For one, human beings have biases （偏見）, and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective, but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human bei
