When Grants mother rejoined him, the two continued on their way. Suddenly, he heard something scaring: “Pau
32、la! Paula!” a man shouted crazily. Grant turned around quickly._Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was screened by trees.

34、reply. She was badly hurt. Grant called the police to report her location. She kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more.

Or why your navigation app took you on the
40、 side street instead of the highway? In a study published April 21st in the journal iScience, Italian researchers, Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella, designed a robot that “thinks out loud”. To explore how inner speech might influence a robots actions, the researchers built a robot called Pepper t
41、hat speaks to itself. It has the ability to reason and think. They then asked people to set the dinner table with Pepper according to etiquette（礼仪）rules. In one experiment, the user asked Pepper to lay the napkin at the wrong place, going against the rules. Pepper started asking itself a series of s
42、elf-directed questions and concluded that the user might be mistaken. To be sure, Pepper confirmed the users order, which led to further inner speech. “Ehm, this situation troubles me. I would never break the rules, but I cant make the user unhappy, so Im doing what he wants,” Pepper said to itself,
43、 laying the napkin where it was required to be. Through Peppers inner voice, the user can learn Pepper was facing a difficult situation and solved it by prioritizing the users order. Comparing Peppers actions with and without inner speech, Pipitone and Chella discovered the robot had a higher task-c
44、ompletion rate when having self-dialogue. However, some people find the robot spends more time completing tasks when it talks to itself. The robots inner speech is also limited to the knowledge that researchers gave it. Peppers designers still say their work provides a framework（构架）to further explor
45、e how self-dialogue can help robots focus, plan, and learn. “In some ways, we are creating a generational（世代的）robot that likes to chat. From navigation apps and the camera on your phone to medical robots in the operation rooms, machines and computers alike can take advantage of this chatty feature,”
46、 says Chella.42Why does the writer ask two questions at the very beginning of the passage?ATo draw the readers attention to the topic.BTo show the writer likes electronic products.CTo tell the reader about the history of robots.DTo prove the writer often faces trouble in life.43Why was Pepper asked to lay the napkin at the wrong place?ATo see how much time Pepper spent laying the napkin.BTo confirm how popular Pepper was among its users.CTo test how many etiquette rules Pepper remembered.DTo study how self-dialogue might influence Peppers actions.
