If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned."Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta's rules, "Why are these men so foolish " he thought. "Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess" However, when she saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed______ mind."I will marry Atlanta--or die!" he said.The race started and although the man ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, "How can I run as fast as Atlanta" He went to ask the Greek Godness of Love for help. She promise d to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said," Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops ________pick it up, you will be able to run past her and win."Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King. He said," I want to marry Atlanta ." The King was sad to see another man die, but Hippomenes said," I will marry her------or die!"

I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642.Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and it took nearly twohundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could “ think ” logicallyand produce an answerquicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my“artificial intelligence . In 1936”my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how Icould be made to work as a “ universalmachine ” solveto any difficult mathematical problem. Fromthen on, I grew rapidly both in size _______ in brainpower. By the 1949s I had grown as large as aroom, and I wondered if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designers.As time went _______, I was made smaller. First as a PC( personal computer) and then as a laptop,I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was ______(store) in tubes,then on transistors and later on very small chip s. ______a result I totally changed my shape. As Ihave grown older I have also grown _______(small). Over time my memory has developed so muchthat, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so largethat even I couldn ’ t believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in early 1960sthey gave me a family ________(connect) by a network. I was able to share my knowledge _________others through the World Wide Web.Since the 1970s many new ____________(apply) have been found for my. I have become veryimportant in communication , finance and trade . I have also been put into robots and used to makemobile phones as well ______ help with medical operations.

Last year our team went toSeattle, Washington in the USA. We won _______(two) place.Personally , I think the team thatwon first place cheated.

In a way our programmer is like our coach. She programs us _________ allthe possible moves she has seen while watching human games. Then she preparesreliable moves touse if a new situation arises. In this way I can make up new moves using my“ artificial intelligence I could like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like them.
