With child behavior, there is almost much more than it meets the eye. Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.

For instance, a little child’s pattern of getting into cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told not to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration. If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries. When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition, they are more likely to accept and appropriately monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the child’s safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.

There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young child’s attempt to express physical affection for a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates a teen’s need for independence.

The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can be oppositional, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level. However, when viewed at a more meaningful level, the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesn’t mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a child’s behavior, adults might gain a fuller understanding of what they’re dealing with, which can create more flexibility in how they respond.

1.According to Paragraph 1, we can know that child behavior ________.

A. occurs at different levels　　 B. is very changeable

C. is inacceptable　　 D. is fully understood by adults

2.The examples in the Paragraph 2 mainly shows that ________.

A. parents should properly punish child behavior

B. there are different attitudes to child behavior

C. children’s behavior shows their interests

D. parents should keep their children’s safety in mind

3.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.

A. child behavior reflects a child’s need

B. children spending time with friends show their selfishness

C. what a child does can mean differently when seen from different aspects

D. children tend to do something to show their dependence to their parents

4.What does the writer suggest parents should do with a child’s behavior?

A. Have a positive attitude towards it.　　 B. Ignore the improper behavior.

C. View it at the basic level.　　 D. Watch over it from head to foot.

Entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and Space X, Elon Musk may have a little more time on his hands, as he’s leaving his position on the board of the Open AI, according to a blog post.

The departure is likely the result of Tesla’s moving into the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which he said in 2017 would be the “best in the world” and would even be able to “predict your destination.” Musk will continue to “donate and advise the organization,” Open AI said in a blog post on Feb. 20, adding that “As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will avoid a potential future conflict for Elon.”

Musk and Y Combiner CEO Sam Altman co-founded the nonprofit enterprise in December 2015, its mission is to develop safe artificial general intelligence and ensure those developments are made public. Open AI researchers published a paper on the site arXiv. org, detailing the possible secure threats that come with “malicious” A I. In fact, Musk has heard of the “evil AI” alarm several times. On Aug. 11, 2017, he warned that artificial intelligence poses a bigger threat to humanity, and he told a gathering of state governors that the government needs to regulate AI before robots start “killing people.”

Musk’s departure from the Open AI board could mean big things for Tesla. As Elon Goodbye, a financial reporter, noted on Futurism, the move “could signal that Tesla is more deeply committed to their own AI projects than we thought.” He added, “Those who have had their ears to any rumors that Tesla is ready to deliver vehicles capable of Level 5 autonomy could take this new Open AI development as a sign that the company is inching closer to that unapproachable goal.” No company has reached that level of autonomy, which means that a driverless car could navigate any road under any conditions and that all the human “driver” would need to do is to input a destination.

1.Why does Elon Musk leave his position?

A. To create safer AI.　　 B. To build the powerful Internet.

C. To develop social communication.　　 D. To avoid a possible conflict with Tesla.

2.What is the Elon Musk’s attitude towards the AI?

A. Ambiguous.　　 B. Negative.

C. Supportive.　　 D. Sympathetic.

3.What does the underlined word “malicious” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Advanced.　　 B. Unpopular.

C. Poisonous.　　 D. Traditional.

4.What can we infer from Elon Goodbye’ comments?

A. Level 5 autonomy is impossible.

B. The rumors about Tesla is meaningless.

C. He has no confidence in Open AI.

D. Level 5 autonomy could set human drivers free.
