    Many of us live with a roommate at some stage． Sometimes， there can be problems． Who hasn't had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner？1.

You know that there's always someone else around， which can help you feel safer． There is always someone to talk to， so you never feel lonely． Besides these obvious benefits， there are some you may not notice．2.

To examine the effect of living alone， Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food， which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health． However， those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone．

3.The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking， food preparation and eating may be important considerations． For example， those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with， and thus are likely to buy high-quality fresh food regularly．

4.If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food， they may fall back on ready-made， less healthy food． However， if they live with at least one other person， they may be able to ask for help．

In addition， people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night． However， it's helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3am．5.

So， if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits， why not consider sharing a home with someone else？ You could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being．

A． Cooking skills may be another factor．

B． In other words， roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines．

C． Living with a roommate could be a good thing because a roommate can share your expenses and contribute to your home's maintenance．

D． For example， we're actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others．

E． What could explain these findings？

F． It's hard to find someone who doesn't grate on your nerves， has a similar cleanliness level as you and goes to bed at the same time．

G． However， living with another person also comes with many benefits．

    Shortly after my fourth birthday， my parents and I arrived from China in Sydney， Australia． It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knew--family， friends and career．

Yet within two years， my parents' marriage had broken down． After one particularly unpleasant fight， my mother left my father， taking me with her． With no family or friends， and in a country where she couldn't even communicate， she took me to Chinatown， the only area of Sydney she was familiar with． That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street， packing suitcases around us for security（安全）． I will never forget the despair in her face that night．

At around 4 a．m．， a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby． I remember them falling silent as they saw us． They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the streets with such a young child． My mum burst into tears as she told them our story． Without hesitating， they warmed me up， took our suitcases， and drove us to their students housing．

In the weeks that followed， the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm． Being poor students living on their own for the first time， they simply knew how to cook in a stupid way． However， they insisted that a child should have homemade meals． They quickly adjusted their lives around us， buying fresh food， cooking， teasing me to make me laugh， and advising my mum on how to sort out her life．

Eventually， Mum reconciled （和解） with Dad and we moved back in with him， although they continued to split and make up several times．

Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on． But at every milestone of my life--graduations， entering university， getting a good job--I never forget that all of this was made possible because 22years ago， a group of complete strangers took us in and shared everything they had to save us from life on the street．

1.Why did Mom and I stay in Dixon Street that night？ ______

A. We were waiting for the Chinese men．

B. Mom was unfamiliar with Australia at all．

C. It was safe to stay there for night．

D. We had no other place to go．

2.How did the students feel the moment they saw us in the street？ ______

A. Ashamed．    B. Shocked．

C. Amused．    D. Nervous．

3.What message is conveyed in the passage？ ______

A. There is no perfect husband or wife in marriage．

B. It's the timely help to someone in need that matters．

C. It's a great challenge for the Chinese to study abroad．

D. Childhood memory contributes to guiding present behavior．

    The human beings seem to be facing a crisis （危机）． After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence （AI） AlphaGo， we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain． And in October， when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia， another privilege of being human was taken away． It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk fight now．

But we keep hoping that instead of "everything"， there's still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable．

To Hao Jingfang， winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novelette， that "something" is our consciousness． "AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way， but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions -- Do I like playing Go？ Do I want to play Go today？ Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to？" she once said． In other words， computer programs don't have a choice to say "no"． They probably don't even know what a "choice" is -- all they ever do is calculate．

And to He Huaihong， a philosophy （哲学） professor at Peking University， imagination and creativity are also what make us special． "A machine couldn't have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple"， he said． "It's human imagination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts， something that a machine--which works by fixed rules only--can't do， at least for now．"

This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans， we should probably "consider our quality at a different end of the spectrum （光谱）：creativity， originality （原创性）， even plain illogical craziness， instead of hard-nosed （顽固的） logic"， he wrote．

So maybe in the future， as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent， humans and A1will learn to use each other's talents for good． If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us， we'll have more time to create， think， and be busy with "being human"．

1.What can we learn about AlphaGo， according to Hao Jingfang？ ______

A. It will be taught to say no in the future．

B. It will be more intelligent than humans one day．

C. It has difficulty answering personal questions．

D. It is unable to think independently as humans do．

2.What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans？ ______

A. Intelligence．    B. Originality．

C. The ability to make rules．    D. The ability to make choices．

3.What does the underlined word "overshadowed" in paragraph 5 probably mean？ ______

A. Competed with    B. Taken control of

C. Been more successful than    D. Influenced

4.What could be the future of AI according to the author？ ______

A. It will be used to help humans， rather than compete with us．

B. It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking．

C. It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields．

D. It will be applied to provide driving service for humans．
