take to drive to work.
Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being,like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened,it likely will happen in the near future.
Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings?Although computers have the ability to make our life better,is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
It seems pretty clear that in the future,we're going to see a human?machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger,live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil,a computer scientist,believes that within 50 years,the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will be a part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out to be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten(威胁到)humanity as we know it?If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics,humans won,t have a problem with machines;but for some,evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on earth.

Albino Power
I was born an albino(白化病患者)in Scranton,Pennsylvania,in 1945. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was,what it meant to be an albino,what had to be done differently because I was an albino.
My parents and friends treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It gave me a leg up on trusting myself,so when troubles came along,I could deal with them.
True,my schoolbook photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Like most albinos,I had terrible eyesight,but the fact that I could hardly see didn,t worry me all that much.
Kids laughed at me,calling me “Whitey”. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to rea D. Even when I was eight or nine, movie?theater workers started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.
The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad,I couldn,t play sports very well.
I didn,t give up trying,though. I practiced playing basketball every day. And I studied harder.
Finally,I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college,I was double
majoring(专业),going to summer school and taking part in every kind of after?class activity I could find. I had learned to be proud of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino”a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes -and in sports.
I couldn't see well enough to play sports,but with a good and long?lasting education and the drive to do it,I could make a living involved in the area I loved. I,ve done it now for more than
thirty years in print and in video,and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I,m the only “blind editor(编辑)”they know,but the jokes are friendly smiles now,and some of them are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino. I have even developed an all?white routine,if you could call it that.
I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to get over difficulties,become confident,and be proud of my personal achievement.

题目（2） I want to be a positive person. Being positive is the key to living a happy and healthy life. I think with a positive attitude,we can always find a way to love life,influence people and make this imperfect world a better place.
To achieve it,I must see the bright side of everything and everyone around me,especially when things don,t go my way. Also,more communication is necessary. The more I communicate with people around me,the better I will know them. Most importantly,I should believe that life will change for the better. The road to becoming a positive person is not always an easy one,but I believe that I already have a good start. 书面表达评分标准 第一档:(10~9 分)
