what we really want. In 1960 a well-
known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who
founded the field of

interfere(

), we
had better be quite sure that the purpose put into
the
machine is the purpose which we
really desire.
”
A
machine with a specific purpose has another
quality, one that we usually
associate
with living things:a wish to preserve its own
existence. For the machine,
this
quality is not in-born, nor is it something
introduced by humans;it is a logical
consequence of the simple fact that the
machine cannot achieve its original
purpose if it is dead. So if we send
out a robot with the single instruction of
fetching coffee, it will have a strong
desire to secure success by disabling its own
off switch or even killing anyone who
might interfere with its task. If we are not
careful, then, we could face a kind of
global chess match against very determined,
super intelligent machines whose
objectives conflict with our own, with the real
world as the chessboard.
The
possibility of entering into and losing such a
match should concentrate
the minds of
computer scientists. Some researchers argue that
we can seal the
machines inside a kind
of firewall, using them to answer difficult
questions but

never allowing
them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that
plan seems
unlikely to work:we have yet
to invent a firewall that is secure against
ordinary
humans, let alone super
intelligent machines.
Solving the
safety problem well enough to move forward in AI
seems to be
possible but not easy.
There are probably decades in which to plan for
the arrival
of super intelligent
machines. But the problem should not be dismissed
out of
hand, as it has been by some AI
researchers. Some argue that humans and
machines can coexist as long as they
work in teams
—
yet that is
not possible unless
machines share the
goals of humans. Others say we can just
“
switch them
off
”
as
if super intelligent machines are too
stupid to think of that possibility. Still others
think that super intelligent AI will
never happen. On September 11,1933, famous
physicist Ernest Rutherford stated,
with confidence,
“
Anyone who
expects a
source of power in the
transformation of these atoms is talking
moonshine.
”
However, on September 12,1933,
physicist Leo Szilard invented the
neutron-

reaction.

The
meaning of silence varies among cultural es may be
thoughtful, or they may be empty when a
person has nothing to say. A silence in a
conversation may also show
stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be
viewed by some cultural groups as
extremely uncomfortable;therefore attempts
may be made to fill every
gap(
间隙
)with conversation.
Persons in other cultural
groups value
silence and view it as necessary for understanding
a person
’
s needs.

Many Native Americans value
silence and feel it is a basic part of
communicating among people, just as
some traditional Chinese and Thai persons
do. Therefore, when a person from one
of these cultures is speaking and suddenly
stops, what may be
implied(
暗示
) is that the
person wants the listener to consider
what has been said before continuing.
In these cultures, silence is a call for
reflection.
Other cultures
may use silence in other ways, particularly when
dealing with
conflicts among people or
in relationships of people with different amounts
of
power. For example, Russian, French,
and Spanish persons may use silence to show
agreement between parties about the
topic under discussion. However, Mexicans
may use silence when instructions are
given by a person in authority rather than be
rude to that person by arguing with him
or her. In still another use, persons in
Asian cultures may view silence as a
sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a
person in authority.
Nurses
and other care-givers need to be aware of the
possible meanings of
silence when they
come across the personal anxiety their patients
may be
experiencing. Nurses should
recognize their own personal and cultural
construction of silence so that a
patient
’
s silence is not
interrupted too early or
allowed to go
on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the
healing(
治愈
)value of
silence can use this understanding to
assist in the care of patients from their own
and from other cultures.

Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags,

have noticed three effects
of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give
gossipers a
strange kind of
satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in
a group.
An important negative effect
of gossip is that it can hurt the person being
talked about. Usually, gossip spreads
information about a
topic
—
breakups,
trouble at home, even dropping
out
—
that a person would
rather keep secret. The
more
embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the
juicier the gossip it makes.
Probably
the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie.
People often think of
gossipers as
harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful,
then why do so many of us do it? The
answer lies in another effect of
gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the
latest
rumor
(
传言
)can make a person feel
important because he or she knows something
that others
don
’
t. Similarly, hearing
the latest rumor can make a person feel like
part of the
“
in
group.
”
In other
words, gossip is satisfying because it gives
people
a sense of belonging or even
superiority (
优越感
).
Gossip also can have a third effect: it
strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules
about how people should act. Professor
David Wilson explains that gossip is
important in policing behaviors in a
group. Translated into high school terms, this
means that if everybody you hang around
with is laughing at what John wore or
what Jane said, then you can bet that
wearing or saying something similar will get
you the same kind of negative
attention. The do
’
s and
don
’
ts conveyed through
gossip will never show up in any
student handbook.

Passage

Why
College Is Not Home
The college years
are supposed to be a time for important growth in
autonomy(
自主性
) and
the development of adult identity. However, now
they are
becoming an extended period of
adolescence,during which many of
today
’
s
students
are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
For previous generations, college was a
decisive break from parental
control;guidance and support needed to
come from people of the same age and
from within. In the past two decades,
however, continued connection with and
dependence on family, thanks to cell
phones, email and social media, have
increased significantly. Some parents
go so far as to help with coursework. Instead
of promoting the idea of college as a
passage from the shelter of the family to
autonomy and adult responsibility,
universities have given in to the idea that they
should provide the same environment as
that of the home.
To prepare for
increased autonomy and responsibility,college
needs to be a
time of exploration and
experimentation. This process involves
“
trying
on
”
new
ways of thinking about oneself both
intellectually(
在思维方面
) and
personally.
While we should provide
“
safe
spaces
”
within
colleges, we must also make it safe

to express opinions and
challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and
flexibility
are fostered by strict
debate and questioning.
Learning to
deal with the social world is equally important.
Because a college
community(
群体
)
differs from the family, many students will
struggle to find a
sense of belonging.
If students rely on administrators to regulate
their social
behavior and thinking
pattern,they are not facing the challenge of
finding an
identity within a larger and
complex community.
Moreover, the
tendency for universities to monitor and shape
student
behavior runs up against
another characteristic of young adults:the
response to
being controlled by their
elders. If acceptable social behavior is too
strictly
defined(
规定
) and
controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior
that
administrators are seeking to
minimize may actually be encouraged.
It
is not surprising that young people are likely to
burst out, particularly when
there are
reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands
and stood firm at
times of national
emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict
between
adolescents
’
desire for autonomy and their
understanding of an unsafe world.
Therefore, there is the desire for
their dorms to be replacement homes and not
places to experience intellectual
growth.
Every college discussion about
community values, social climate and behavior
should include recognition of the
developmental importance of student autonomy
and self-regulation, of the necessary
tension between safety and self-discovery.
