| Barack Obama makes his first trip to Asia as president this week, leaving behind a host of domestic problems with the visit that recognizes the region's economic and diplomatic importance. "Obama's trip includes stops in Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea, and his message will be simple," says Nicolas Lardy at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, "Well, I think his broadest objective is to convince Asians that the United States is fully committed to the region that we have an agenda that's much broader than they saw over the past eight years of the very heavy focus on counter terrorism." Obama's first stop is Japan, where he meets with the new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama who has promised to steer a diplomatic course more independent of Washington. While Japan is seen as a getting-to- know-you stop, when Obama heads to the Singapore for the APEC meeting, he will likely face pressure on trade. "Many Asians are concerned about what US trade policy will be, and they've been somewhat alarmed by the fact that the president really hasn't set out very much revision for what US trade policy is in his administration." But the critical leg of the trip will come in China, his third stop where Obama will have to navigate the complex relationship with the country that is the largest holder of US debt. "As you say, you know, if you owe the bank one dollar, it's your problem, if you owe the bank, you know, 3 million dollars, it's the bank's problem, so it's similar with China. I mean they have no interest in trying to use the influence with us, because eventually, they're the one that they own all those dollars." Also on the table will be North Korea and Iran's nuclear ambitions as well as cooperation on Afghanistan. With Obama enjoying sky high popularity ratings in the countries he is visiting, concrete results may be beside the point, given that Obama is still in his firs office, analysts say this trip is mostly about laying the ground work for the future. |

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Should a university graduate with a computer science degree seek a position in a large, possibly multinational company or in a smaller organization?
Advice on this was divided, although the pros and cons (正反两方面的理由) are fairly clear. If you join a small company, you can get a clearer all-around picture of how business works and gain experience in many fields. If you join a large organization, you can benefit from its in-house training programs and form. experience gained by working on large projects.
Vigrom Chaisinthop is TN Information Systems managing director. He said that by joining a big organization, a graduate would get experience on projects working with teams of 50 to 60 people. This would provide good experience in learning how to do a big project.
However, if they were to join a smaller company, they would have more opportunity to explore more areas, possibly spanning both hardware and programming. This might allow a person to be more creative.
Compaq managing director Kongkiet Washington said he believed that it would be more beneficial to work for a smaller company. He said that graduates would like to see many aspects of a business and be able to understand "the big picture". He also suggested that a graduate should start with an established organization, so that he can learn about process and discipline for at least three to five years.
But whether big or small, TN's Vigrom noted that half of all graduates would not make their decision based on this question alone. Parents who tended to favor state enterprises from a job security standpoint also had a large say in the choice.
People have divided opinions about ______.
A．the benefits a big company provides to graduates
B．the advantages a small company offers to graduates
C．whether graduates should work for a large or a small company
D．whether graduates can gain different experience
Siri, an iPhone application that understands spoken commands and uses the web to carry them out,is a byproduct from a US military project to develop an artificially intelligent assistant.
Many people's experience of a "virtual assistant" may be limited to Microsoft's annoying classic Mr. Clippy. But in the week we spent together, my AI assistant has performed admirably in finding me restaurants, or the location of the nearest coffee shop. It wasn't even stumped when I asked "do I need my umbrella today?" coming straight back with the local weather forecast.
A typical command might be: "Reserve a table for two at a good French restaurant in San Francisco." Siri responds by presenting a list of top-rated restaurants that can be booked on OpenTable.com. If you say which time you want, it can book you a table without your lifting a finger.
In some ways Siri is just a fancy front-end to the 35 sites it can connect to, from taxi booking sites to movie review databases. But what's new is the way it can interpret the intentions of its master or mistress and use those sites to put them into action.
Doing that requires the ability to actually understand the meaning of words you use, not just passing on keywords blindly, says Siri co-founder Adam Cheyer.
"Book a four-star restaurant in Boston seems pretty straightforward," says Cheyer, "until you realise that Book is a city in the US, and Star is also a city in the US, and there are 13 Bostons, and Star is also the name of a restaurant."
To cut through what Cheyer calls the "combined explosion of interpretations", Siri uses your location, and the history of the commands you've given. It knows that "book" is most likely a command verb, unless you happen to be near the city of Book.
Siri attaches probabilities to the interpretation of each word and cross-reference(参照) with your location and other data, some of which you must provide yourself.
According to the passage, Siri is most probably ______.
A．still at its experimental stage
B．very popular with iPhone users
C．a US military assistant software
D．an artificial intelligence software
