Thanks to artificial intelligence，cars are beginning to drive by themselves machines can recognize people's faces and people can ask for information and even talk to a smartphone system such as Apple's Siri that uses a human voice．
Just last week Siri tried to join into a conversation that I was having about interest rates． Modern machines equipped with artificial intelligence or AI are no longer used only for automated tasks in manufacturing， but also for more complex activities such as playing chess and creating military simulations．And they understand human speech．
They have been used to create advanced prosthetics for people who have lost their limbs （肢）．More smart machines are in the making，said Arthur Lupia of the National Science Foundation Today's exoskeletons （人形机甲） help human beings，transport very large objects and navigate impossible situations． But this project is about tomorrows exoskeletons．The device that you see here is not just an exoskeleton of the body， it's an exoskeleton of the mind． Scientists say everyone can benefit from using AI． But the general public has questions， said congresswoman Hailey Stevens．As AI powered robots become more common，the question we ask is how we can ensure worker safety alongside these robots．
Well，artificial intelligence is routinely used to monitor workers as some companies do today． For most workers the vital question is whether the intelligent machines will take away our jobs． Experts say very few jobs will be fully automated by the new wave of technologies．While machine learning is now superhuman in many tasks that involved mapping a particular set of inputs into outputs，humans perform better than machines in most other cognitive （认知的） tasks．
But jobs will go through major transformations,says a science professor Erik Brynjolfsson． The challenge is to ensure that no worker is left behind in the process．Experts say well over a half of the children entering elementary school today will end up working in the types of jobs that do not yet exist．They say it is important to reform education to focus on developing skills that machines cannot match，such as creativity and interpersonal skills．
8. Why does the writer mention his own experience with Siri？
A. To stress the role of interest rates．
B. To voice the importance of Siri．
C. To prove that Siri has a human voice．
D. To show that AI improving．
9. What can we know from Paragraph 3？
A. Exoskeletons can deal with any impossible situation．
B. Disabled people can benefit from advanced science and technology．
C. The safety of workers can be guaranteed．
D. Exoskeletons of the mind are widely used today．
10. Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A. Workers are monitored by AI due to their dishonesty．
B. The intelligent machines will take away our jobs．
C. Changes in the types of jobs will take place．
D. Pupils today will create new jobs tomorrow．
11. What is the author's attitude towards artificial intelligence？
A. Viable
B. Ambiguous
C. Negative
D. Indifferent
