C That, though, shouldn’t be a problem for a few years yet.
G The two types of intelligence are very similar to each other.
John McCarthy was born in Boston in 1927. His parents had to move frequently because of the bad economic conditions of the 1920s and 30s, but eventually his father found work in Los Angeles and the family settled there. As a child, McCarthy was very good at maths. 1_D He even borrowed books from his local university and taught himself.__ When he went to university, he didn’t have to do the first two years of his course. He already knew everything. After graduating, he got a PhD and became a professor of mathematics at university. While working there, he thought up a new phrase. 2_H It was in a speech he made in 1956, when he first used the words ‘artificial intelligence’._ Today most people know what this means, but a lot of what we know is because of the work McCarthy did in this area.
So what exactly is artificial intelligence, or AI, and how does it affect our lives? McCarthy called it the ‘science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs’. Many machines can be programmed to act in a particular way. 3_E They can then change what they do if the situation changes._ They do this by observing what is happening around them and deciding what to do based on what they see. 4__A Intelligent ones can make decisions on their own._ However, AI is not the same as human intelligence. Machines do not try to make the world better for themselves. Not yet.
Artificial Intelligence is used in many different areas. NASA (the North American Space Agency) has AI machines on Mars looking for signs of life. AI machines are also used on Earth to do jobs that people can’t do. For example, they look for problems in cables and pipes under the ocean. These are very specialised forms of AI machines. 5 ___F However, we all use Artificial Intelligence every day.___Search engines on computers use AI to find websites quickly. Email programs use AI to decide which emails you want and which ones you don’t. 6___B Sometimes AI programs on our computers can cause problems.___ For example, email messages from friends may disappear. Even AI programs can make mistakes.
Everyday shopping is rather traditional: some white and brown bread, milk, butter, sugar, salt, eggs, sausages. But it’s not necessary to visit different provisional shops such as bakery or butchery to buy food for the family because we could buy foodstuffs in a supermarket. Different goods are sold under one roof, so customers can save their time having all goods bought in no time.Well, shopping is no fun any longer, but my daily duty. I dream to be an economist. I try to be rational and economical. I try to follow some steps. First of all it is necessary to make a shopping list of what we need. Then we should calculate how much our purchases would cost and take this very sum of money with us. The third rule tells that we shouldn’t be hungry while shopping, a hungry person buys the things his or her stomach dictates to buy, not thinking about prices or rational nutrition. And we shouldn’t go shopping immediately after we have got our salary, when we feel impressed by a large sum of money and don’t think it’s for a long month to last.Every day before leaving for school I look around the kitchen to see what we need. And on my way from school I drop into the nearest supermarket, and buy bread and other everyday essentials. Every Friday evening my Mum and I examin our kitchen more carefully as Saturday is our shopping day. The shopping list is rather long, so we both go shopping.The method of shopping is very simple. In a self-service shop a customer goes from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket the goods he wants to buy. It’s absolutely necessary to check the dates before which this or that foodstuff should be used, not to buy something of bad quality. Then a customer takes the basket to the check-out counter where the prices of the purchases are added up. After paying money to the cashier the customer can get his purchases.Mum and I go to the supermarket where we can buy different things at once: fish, bread, sausages, tea, sugar, spices, eggs. I think that a bakery department is among the best in the shop as it has a rich choice of biscuits. And what is more importable they are always fresh and tasty.Another department of the supermarket, which we have to visit, is a dairy. At the dairy we buy milk, cream, yogurt, cheese, butter and other products. My Mum and I are regular customers at the greengrocer’s where potatoes, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, oranges, apples and other fruits and vegetables. In summer we prefer buying fruits, berries and vegetables at the nearest market.Sometimes I have to go to a department store. I can buy there fabrics and footwear, glass, ready-made clothes and cosmetics, toys and electric appliances, furniture and sport goods, cameras and films, and what not.At the butcher’s there’s a wide choice of meat such as beef, pork, mutton, chicken and turkey. It’s really a great skill to choose a piece of meat you need, for soup or for chops or shashlyk, so it’s my Mum who is to buy meat.
I can’t but say that our shops are becoming more and more European-like. Their halls, adverts attract more customers. Shopping gets some element of fun and entertainment.
