58．When you're a parent to a young child，you spend a lot of time talking about feelings：about having to share，about being disappointed because you may not have a cookie instead of broccoli （绿花椰菜），about the great injustice of a parent pressing the elevator button before the child has a chance to．
And in a parenting culture that's increasingly concerned with centering children's needs above all else，mothers and fathers have become skillful at talking about their kids'feelings while masking their own．But new research suggests that parents who hide their negative emotions are doing their children，and themselves harm．
A study published this month says that when parents put on a faux﹣happy （假开心） face for their kids，they do damage to their own sense of wellbeing and authenticity．
"For the average parent the findings suggest when they attempt to hide their negative emotion expression and overexpress their positive emotions with their children，it actually comes at a cost：doing so may lead parents to feel worse themselves，"researcher Dr Emily Impett，says．
It makes sense that parents often fall back on amping up （扩大） the positivity for the sake of their children﹣there are a lot of things in the world we want to protect our kids from．But children are often smarter than we expect and are quite in tune with what the people closest to them﹣their parents﹣are feeling．
There was a time about a year or so ago，for example，when I received some bad news over the phone； I was home with my four﹣year﹣old and so I did my best to put on a brave face．She knew immediately something was wrong though，and was confused．
When I finally let a few tears out and explained that Mom heard something sad about a friend，she was，of course，just fine．My daughter patted my shoulder，gave me a hug，and went back to playing．She felt better that she was able to help me，and the moment made a lot more sense to her emotionally than a smiling mom holding back sobs．I was glad that I could feel sad momentarily and not have to work hard to hide that．
Relaying positive feelings to your children when you don't feel them is a move the researchers called high cost﹣that it may seem like the most beneficial to your child at the time but that parents should find other ways of communicating emotions that"allow them to feel true to themselves"．
But this is also about children seeing the world in a more honest way．While we will want to protect our children from things that aren't age﹣appropriate or harmful，it's better to raise a generation of kids who understand that moms and dads are people too．

A．Allowing their children chances to do things themselves．

A．children are not so clever as parents think
B．children can often understand parents'true feelings

62．The defeat of Lee Sedol，the world's strongest Go （围棋） player，by a Google artificial intelligence （AI） program，looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can．It is not．There are uncountable things that only a human can do，and that no computer seems close to．The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone．The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic．But even the most powerful programs are not human，just as a shovel （铲车）．They have no feelings．What they have is power，but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us a ll．
It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent，but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians （火星人）．Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development，and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world．It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass （以金钱来衡量的） society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted．
One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is，at the same time，the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity．If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour，it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way．So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated （自动化）．And robots will never need pensions．AI is slowly reducing skilled work，like some forms of medical diagnosis （诊断），at the same time，as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training．The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own．
But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human﹣like computers．
