said CNET. ③ — it will be able to help humans cut down on boring tasks. But for the rest, it “cross a line between being easily used and tricky,” as Wired wrote. People have difficulty knowing whether news is real or fake, or what photos are to be trusted. And now, we may not be able to trust our own ears.

D
Ten years before Air Jordans, I learned to fly. It’s like the way some kids walk to a basketball hoop（篮筐）with a ball and throw a few shots, hitting each one easily. As double-dutch（双绳跳）girls, we had our own jump. Three of us and a couple of ropes. It had to be at least three girls — two to turn, one to jump. We started turning nice and slow. Before jumping in, we would rock back and forth to push ourselves forward. It wasn’t a question of whether we’d make it in; the challenge was how long we could jump. There is a space between the ground and heaven where the air is sweeter and your heart beats faster. You drop down and then you jump up again and you do it over and over until the rope catches on your foot or your mother calls you home. Your legs feel powerful and heavy as they beat the ground. In the rope, if you’re good enough, you can do anything and be anything you want. We’d meet at about 3:30 p.m., after we’d changed from our school clothes into our play clothes. Then we’d jump until the parents started coming home. Most of our parents worked nine

to five in Manhattan, and it took them about an hour to get home. We knew it was coming up on six o’clock when we saw the first grown-up in business clothes walking down the hill from the bus stop. Sometimes a grown-up woman, dressed in the stockings and sneakers that all our mothers wore for the long way home, would jump in — handbag and all — just to show us what she could do. She usually couldn’t jump for very long. These women had no purpose of sweating anyway. Around this time, I would start looking out for my mother. I’d try to make my turn last long enough so she could see the jump. “Wait, Mom, watch me jump!” I’d say. “I’ve got to start dinner,” she’d say, closing the gate behind her. There’s so much I can do. So much she doesn’t know. But it’s always some other time with her. Here is what I wish she knew: There is nothing better than the space between the two ropes. The feeling of happiness encircles you and protects you and there you are strong. I wish she’d let me show her.

ELIZABETH FRY
When the Quaker Elizabeth married Joseph Fry, it seemed as if her life would be comfortable and peaceful. 41 She saw many poor people living near her and she wanted to help them.
42 At first the prison officers did not want to let her visit the women prisoners because they feared the prisoners would attack her, but Elizabeth was not afraid. 43 They had no beds, clean clothes, food or heating. Any child born in prison had to stay there and had no chance of an education. This meant they would probably have to beg or steal when they grew up and then would return to prison. So the first thing Elizabeth did was to provide food, clean clothes and straw for beds. Later she began a prison school for the children and taught the women to sew（缝纫）, knit（编织）and make goods to sell. In this way they were able to make a little money for themselves and gain some self-respect. 44 Later Elizabeth was asked to go to the leaders of Britain to discuss how to the conditions for prisoners.
Of course she did not do all the work on her own. Other Quaker women helped her and went around the country raising money for her work. 45 They said that she should spend more time with her family. Other people said she enjoyed being famous too much. However, her husband, Joseph, supported and encouraged her, so she continued working to help improve the lives of poor prisoners till she died. Her ideas did not disappear after her death and her work was remembered in 1947 when the Quakers were given the Nobel Peace Prize. A. She realized that prisoners behaved badly because they were being treated like animals. B. However, Elizabeth was not satisfied with her easy life and her growing family.
C. Her kindness helped her gain the friendship of the prisoners and they began to try to improve their conditions for themselves.
D. She planned to experience the prison life on her own.
E. Some people did not like her ideas and quarreled with her. F. Elizabeth did whatever she could to help the poor. G. One day she was asked to visit a prison.
