麦克今年35岁,却在监狱里度过了整整8年,想起这事,他就恨父亲老麦克。老麦克很有钱,但是个守财奴,对自己唯一的儿子也很吝啬。麦克忍受不了那种艰苦的生活,便去做了小偷,几年下来竟成了远近闻名的“神偷”。一次,老麦克在儿子的抽屉里发现了几条钻石项链,便毫不犹豫地报告了警察局,于是麦克就锒铛入狱了。好不容易熬到刑满释放,回家一看,老麦克死了,他那数亿美元的财产也不翼而飞。就在他一筹莫展的时候,却意外地从晚报上发现了一则招聘启事:本人欲招聘小偷一名,要求:男性,35岁左右,偷盗技术高超,曾因偷盗罪被判刑入狱。有意应聘者请与约翰逊先生联系……麦克看了这则启事,不觉眼前一亮,心里想:四条要求,自己条条符合。他也知道约翰逊是全城有名的大富翁,可他为啥要招聘小偷呢?
①苏格兰公投落下帷幕之际,吸引人们眼球的不仅仅是票选的结果,更有英国人那奇葩的计票方式。计票的人竟然是在纸上一条条地画竖杠杠,视觉效果非常凌乱。这引得人们议论纷纷:“想不到发达国家竟然采取这种刀耕火种的计数方式”,“这不数着数着就乱了吗?”②对比之下,我国的“正”字计数法立刻显得又机智又高端。这个方法广泛流行,为大家所喜闻乐见。五笔一字,整齐划一,视觉效果简洁明了,能够大大提高统计效率。③这么好用的方法,究竟是谁先想到的呢?目前尚不得而知,至于真正使用“正”字来计数,则要追溯到清末民初的上海。起初进戏园看戏并不凭票,仅由服务人员领座,领座员将卖座情况在“大水牌”上注明。由于怕误记,同时为了稽核总数,所以每满五个看客,就写一个“正”字,或者是领一个看客就划上一笔,划上五笔便成一个“正”字。后来戏园规模扩大,用水牌计票的方法逐渐被戏票所取代,但“正”字的计票方法却被商家和选举计票所借鉴,广泛应用起来。
①这是一本从外形看起来和普通的书本差不多的书。不过,这本书却被《时代》周刊评为2015年最棒的25个设计之一。这本书的封面和扉页,都赫然标注着“Drinkable Book”(可以喝的书)。②这本书的发明者是一个叫特丽莎的美国姑娘。2007年,特丽莎到非洲旅行,发现那里根本没有纯净的饮用水,孩子们口渴了,就直接从垃圾堆旁肮脏的水坑里捧水喝。因此,当地百姓得病的几率特别高。特丽莎还得知,全球每年有6.63亿人口由于缺乏最基本的净水设备而喝不到干净的饮用水,由此导致的疾病、死亡更是难以计数。作为一名化学博士,她顿生一种使命感:要发明一种消灭病菌的物质。
以往人们认为“机器只会计算不会学习”“计算机只能听从人类的指令而不会创造”,如今在AlphaGo的胜利面前,这些说法不攻自破。学习、思考、创造不再是人类的专利,计算机完全可以具备这些被视为人类专属特征的能力。在可预见的未来,只要是机器能完成的工作将全部由机器担任,哪怕是传统意义上被人类视为独占领域的创造性工作,如音乐、小说、诗歌等也不可能幸免。这样说并非耸人听闻,实际上美国加州大学的科学家已经使计算机学会了自主创作乐曲,模仿巴赫、莫扎特、肖邦风格的“古典音乐”,就连资深乐迷都难辨真伪。IBM的工程师教会了一台名为WATSON的电脑自创菜谱,其食材和组合方式、烹制方法均是人类从未想过的,据品尝过的人说“味道不错”。
村里开始有人建房,原来居住的老房子得拆掉。上了年纪的人遵循一个原则,五黄六月是不可以动土木的。所以村里很多人建房子多选择在秋天,这时候燕子已准备南飞了。那些拆了老房子的人家,把拆下来的燕子窝整个地端下来,然后放在树杈上,希望明年燕子归来的时候还能发现这个标记。然而,那些建了新房子的人家第二年再也不会有燕子进出。整天锁着的大门和平整的天花板,让燕子越飞越远了。
父亲去世10年后,在我的“软硬兼施”下,母亲终于同意来郑州跟着我——她最小的女儿一起生活。一天,母亲对先生说,星期天喊你那些朋友回家来吃饭吧,我都来了大半个月了,没见他们来过呢。妈,他们经常在外面聚呢。我替先生解释,母亲摇头,态度坚决地让先生在周末把他们带回家来聚一聚。
I joineda band (乐队)as a drummer in my middle school. I thought itwould be fun playing the drum and meeting new friends. At first it was easy,but a month later, it got difficult.

子曰:“学而时习之,不亦说乎?有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎?人不知而不愠,不亦君子乎?”子曰:“学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆。子曰:“知之者不如好之者,好之者不如乐之者。”子曰:“三人行,必有我师焉。择其善者而从之,其不善者而改之。”子夏曰:“博学而笃志,切问而近思,仁在其中矣。”
