For many years it was common in the United States to associate Chinese Americans with restaurants and laundries. People did not realize that the Chinese had been 31 into these occupations.
The first Chinese to reach the United States came during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people there, they had come to search for gold. In that 32 unoccupied land, the men 33 a claim for themselves by placing makers in the ground. However, either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in turning a 34 worthless mining claim into a profitable one, they became the scapegoats of their envious competitor. They were 35 in many ways. Often they were prevented from working their claims; some localities even passed regulations forbidding them to own 36 . The Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways of earning a living. Some of them began to do the 37 for the white miners; others set up small restaurants. (There were almost no women in California in those days,
and the Chinese filled a real need by doing this "woman"s work".) Some went to work as farmhands or as fishermen.
Chinese Americans retain many aspects of their ancient culture, even after having lived here for several generations. For example, their family ties continue to be 38 strong (encompassing grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and others). Members of the family lend each other 39 support and also practical help when necessary. From a very young age children are imbued with the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling of responsibility to the family. This helps to explain why there is so 40 juvenile delinquency among them.

For many years it was common in the United States to associate Chinese Americans with restaurants and laundries. People did not realize that the Chinese had been 31 into these occupations.
The first Chinese to reach the United States came during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people there, they had come to search for gold. In that 32 unoccupied land, the men 33 a claim for themselves by placing makers in the ground. However, either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in turning a 34 worthless mining claim into a profitable one, they became the scapegoats of their envious competitor. They were 35 in many ways. Often they were prevented from working their claims; some localities even passed regulations forbidding them to own 36 . The Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways of earning a living. Some of them began to do the 37 for the white miners; others set up small restaurants. (There were almost no women in California in those days,
and the Chinese filled a real need by doing this "woman"s work".) Some went to work as farmhands or as fishermen.
Chinese Americans retain many aspects of their ancient culture, even after having lived here for several generations. For example, their family ties continue to be 38 strong (encompassing grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and others). Members of the family lend each other 39 support and also practical help when necessary. From a very young age children are imbued with the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling of responsibility to the family. This helps to explain why there is so 40 juvenile delinquency among them.

Early in the film A Beautiful Mind, the 1 John Nash is seen sitting in a Princeton courtyard, hunched over a playing board covered with small black and white pieces that look like pebbles. He was playing Go, an ancient Asian game. Frustration at losing that game 2 the real Nash to pursue the mathematics of game theory, research for which he eventually was awarded a Nobel Prize.
In recent years, computer experts, particularly those specializing in 3 intelligence, have felt the same fascination and 4 . Programming other board games has been a relative snap. Even chess has 5 to the power of the processor. Ten years ago, a chess-playing computer called Deep Blue not only beat but 6 humbled Garry Kasparov, the world champion at that time. That is because chess, while 7 complex, can be reduced to a matter of brute force computation. Go is different. Deceptively easy to learn, either for a computer or a human, it is a game of such 8 and complexity that it can take years for a person to become a strong player. To date, no computer has been able to achieve a skill level beyond that of the casual player.
The game is played on a board divided into a grid of 19 horizontal and 19 vertical lines. Black and white pieces called stones are placed one at a time on the grid"s intersections. The object is to acquire and 9 territory by surrounding it with stones. Programmers working on Go see it as more accurate than chess in reflecting the ways the human mind works. The challenge of programming a computer to mimic that process goes to the core of artificial intelligence, which involves the study of learning and decision-making, 10 thinking, knowledge representation, pattern recognition and perhaps most intriguingly, intuition.

For many years it was common in the United States to associate Chinese Americans with restaurants and laundries. People did not realize that the Chinese had been 31 into these occupations.
The first Chinese to reach the United States came during the California Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people there, they had come to search for gold. In that 32 unoccupied land, the men 33 a claim for themselves by placing makers in the ground. However, either because the Chinese were so different from the others or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in turning a 34 worthless mining claim into a profitable one, they became the scapegoats of their envious competitor. They were 35 in many ways. Often they were prevented from working their claims; some localities even passed regulations forbidding them to own 36 . The Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways of earning a living. Some of them began to do the 37 for the white miners; others set up small restaurants. (There were almost no women in California in those days,
and the Chinese filled a real need by doing this "woman"s work".) Some went to work as farmhands or as fishermen.
Chinese Americans retain many aspects of their ancient culture, even after having lived here for several generations. For example, their family ties continue to be 38 strong (encompassing grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and others). Members of the family lend each other 39 support and also practical help when necessary. From a very young age children are imbued with the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling of responsibility to the family. This helps to explain why there is so 40 juvenile delinquency among them.

When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school 26 him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something 27 : among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gesture code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a(n) 28 language And could that language be unlike any other on Earth It was 1955, when even deaf people 29 their signing as "substandard". Stokoe"s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说). It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books on ASL—is explaining how he started a 30 . For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese.
