Last week, I, along with the rest of my grade, went on a 18-hour survival training trip. On arriving at the destination, we put up our tents before making lunch. Then we participated in team-building activity such as dragon boat racing or rock climbing. They were extreme fun but tiring. The most exciting event was the boat racing, as I have never been in a dragon boat before. The thrilled feeling of riding over the waves will stay my mind forever. By the end of the day, they were all sweaty and exhausted. The next morning, take back with us our newly created memories, we returned back home.
As the train pulled out, the passengers slowly settled down on their seats. I reserved the lower berth(卧铺), so I could enjoy the beauty outside from the moving train. An elderly lady _______ the front seat of mine. Looking at her, I guessed she must be in her eighties. At one point, our eyes _______, she smiled at me, and with politeness, I gave her response. Both of us were _______. And the train was _______ its speed.
It was 4:50 pm, evening time. So, _______ time was still a long way off. I couldn't _______my curiosity any longer and asked, “Auntie! Where are you going?”
She looked at me and kindly said, “_______ camp, dear.”
Suddenly my enthusiasm _______ to know the reason. I politely said, “Aunty, you are visiting someone?”
She smiled _______ and said, “Yes!”
Just to continue the ________, I talked to her in a very merry mood, “Auntie, you must be feeling so ________ to see your child or your grand children.”
Perhaps, this question ________ her a little but bravely she answered, “Oh, dear! You are so sweet! Anyways, I had only one son who joined the army but was ________ by the terrorist attack just few days before. I bought so many new winter ________ for him. I thought why I would not ________ my son's clothes to some other ________. So I would control my ________ and would be relieved ________ that my own son has worn it.”
I was shocked hearing her ________ story! But I saluted the old lady from the bottom of my heart, for her ________ heart!

Robots are increasingly being developed to think and act like humans. But one common human quality that has been difficult for engineers to recreate in machines is humor.
Most robots are powered by artificial intelligence, or AI. Some have performed better than humans in tests designed to measure machine intelligence.
Computer scientists have also hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed.
Kiki Hempelmann is a computational language expert who studies humor at Texas A&M University. “Artificial intelligence will never get jokes like humans do,” he told the Associated Press. The main problem, Hempelmann says, is that robots completely miss the context of humor.
Tristan Miller is a computer scientist and linguist at Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany. In one research project, he studied more than 10,000 puns(双关语).
Puns are a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or, “pop” can be the sound a balloon makes when it explodes.
But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.
Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm(讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another.
But Texas A&M’s Kiki Hempelmann is not sure such attempts are a good idea. “Teaching AI systems humor is dangerous because they may find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks it is funny,” he added.

In emergency medical services (EMS), the treatment of choice for unconscious patients that are breathing is to place them in the recovery position. The idea is to prevent getting stomach contents into the lungs.
The problem with the recovery position is the same as many other first aid treatments: it sounds good in theory but nobody knows if it really works. Positioning someone to prevent them from aspirating(吸入) is absolutely free. Because there's nothing to gain, very few people do research on things like the recovery position.
There is only one study that looked at the effectiveness of different body positions on aspiration. In that study, the recovery position was better if the unconscious person was lying flat on his or her back. However, the best option for protecting the airway—at least according to this study—was to make the patient lying on his or her belly. It turns out that if you are lying flat with your mouth at the lowest point, then the stuff coming out of your stomach won't find its way into your lungs.
Of course, it's not quite that simple. Most of us would hesitate to have our patient lie over completely.
The recovery position is taught in a very precise way. Some first aid textbooks—and more advanced texts as well—have the rescuer put the patient on his or her side with one leg bent and the head resting on an arm. However, the real world isn't like that. Understanding what you need to accomplish is more important than how you do it. Keep stuff out of your patients' lungs. If that means you roll them almost all the way on their bellies, do it. Make sure you are watching their breathing and if they stop, roll them back over and start CPR.

A.To assist them to recover consciousness.

2.Which is the best way to protect the unconscious person in the study?
