I can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I was , what happened in the news and even the day of the week. I’ve been able to do this since I was four.

I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs my mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away realy. When I think of a sad memory, I do what everyone does- try to put it to one side. I don’t think it’s harder for me just because my memory is clearer. Powerful memory doesn’t make my emotions any more acture or vivid. I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hosptital the day before. I also remember that the musical paly Hamopened on the Broadway on the same day- they both just pop into my mind in the same way.

Most people would define optimism as endlessly happy, with a glass that’s perpetually half fall. But that’s exactly the kind of false deerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend. “Healthy optimists means being in touch with reality.” says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor, According to Ben- Shalar,realistic optimists are these who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best.

Ben-Shalar uses three optimistic exercisers. When he feels down-sag, after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that mot every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction, He analyzes the weak lecture, leaning lessons, for the future about what works and what doesn’t. Finally, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the ground scheme of life, one lecture really doesn’t matter.

论说文

根据下面的材料写一篇论说文，题目自拟，要求700字左右。

黑熊和棕熊喜食蜂蜜，都以养蜂为生。它们各有一个蜂箱，养着同样多的蜜蜂。有一天，它们决定比赛看谁的蜜蜂产的蜜多。

黑熊想，蜜的产量取决于蜜蜂每天对花的“访问量”。于是它买来了一套昂贵的测量蜜蜂访问量的绩效管理系统。在它看来，蜜蜂所接触的花的数量就是其工作量。每过完一个季度，黑熊就公布每只蜜蜂的工作量；同时，黑熊还设立了奖项，奖励访问量最高的蜜蜂。但它从不告诉蜜蜂们它是在与棕熊比赛，它只是让它的蜜蜂比赛访问量。

棕熊与黑熊想得不一样。它认为蜜蜂能产多少蜜，关键在于它们每天采回多少花蜜，花蜜越多，酿的蜂蜜也越多。于是它直截了当告诉众蜜蜂：它在在和黑熊比赛看谁户的蜜多。它花了不多的钱买了一套绩效管理系统，测量每只蜜蜂每天采回花蜜的数量和整个蜂箱每天酿出蜂蜜的数量，并把测量结果张榜公布。它也设立了一套奖励制度，重奖当月采花蜜最多的蜜蜂。如果一个月的蜜蜂总产量高于上个月，那么所有蜜蜂都受到不同程度的奖励。

一年过去了，两只熊查看比赛结果，黑熊的蜂蜜不及棕熊的一半。

请就上述材料分析黑熊失利的原因，不超过700字。

有人说机器人的使命，应该是帮助人类做那些人类做不了的事，而不是代替人类。技术变革会夺取一些人低端繁琐的工作岗位，最终也会创造更高端更人性化的就业机会。例如，历史上铁路的出现抢去了很多挑夫的工作，但是又增加了千百万的铁路工人。人工智能也是一种技术变革，人工智能也将促进人类社会的发展，有人则不以为然。
