Write your response on ANSWER SHEET THREE. With intelligent machines to do the thinking, will our brains get lazy? Changing technology stimulates the brain and increases intelligence. But that may only be true if the technology challenges us. In a world run by intelligent machines, our lives could get a lot simpler. Would that make us less intelligent? Artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. For instance, planes are being flown much of the time by automatic pilots. And the complex problem of controlling air traffic around large modern airports is also achieved by artificial intelligence that operates well beyond the capability of mere human air traffic controllers. Artificial intelligence is embedded in many features of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes where there was once thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess, and writing poetry, or even novels. As machines get smarter, they will do more of our thinking for us and make life easier. In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point that it serves similar functions as a real living butler, fulfilling requests such as: "Organize a dinner parly for six on Thursday, Jeeves, and invite the usual guests." At that point, our long struggle with challenging technologies is at an end. like Bertie Wooster, we can take it easy knowing that the hard work of planning and organizing is being done by a better brain—the electronic assistant. Starved of mental effort, our brains will regress.

Advantages Disadvantages If you have access to the Internet, you can make purchase at anytime and anywhere. That"s the main reason for the popularity of online shopping. Without physically visiting numerous stores, online shopping saves a lot of energy from testing products and comparing prices. Many online stores make it possible to choose from a big array of potential purchases. A physical store may only provide you with a limited options. However, an online counterpart may offer you additional choices of design and color. For example, retail giant Wal-Mart sells their additional items only from their website. Additionally you may find various homemade items online which would be unavailable in physical stores. Shrewd shoppers often search for the best price before making the final purchase. Then you can shop online, which offers the item at a lower price. One of the biggest concerns about shopping online is the safety of your personal and financial information. Nowadays many online shops are not legally registered, which leaves the consumers at greater risk of being cheated of their money.

However, it can reduce the chances of disappointment if you buy items in the physical stores. In addition, in case you are not satisfied with your purchase, it"s quite troublesome to return the item.

YES NO It is reasonable to offer prizes to the high-level per- formers. This is because one needs to pay a greater amount of effort than others in order to earn a higher grade in the exams. Top performers normal- ly act as a facilitator to en- courage other students to work harder and they can cre- ate a competitive learning en- vironment at the school. Academic study is also a kind of competition and should abide by the rule of fairness, so the best perform- ers should be rewarded. Those best students are relatively few in a class. If we only pay attention to those high-level learners and ignore the rest of the students, their enthusiasm for study, to a large degree, might be re- duced. It is necessary for teachers to give certain awards to those who put consider- able efforts into their study. The extrinsic reward provided for them is a motivator for them study further since a sense of ac- complishment can boost their confidence and help them get great improvements in their later study. Instead of the best students, those who have made improvements in their study should be rewarded because it is a kind of recognition of their efforts and industry.
