The next big breakthrough in artificial intelligence could come from giving machines not just more logical capacity,but emotional capacity as well.
Feeling aren't usually associated with inanimate（无生命的）machines, but Posalind Picard, a professor of computer technology at MIT,believes emotion may be just the thing computes need to work effectively.Computers need artificial emotion both to understand their human users better and to achieve self-analysis and self-improvement,says Picard.
"If we want computers to be genuinely intelligent,to adapt to us,and to interact naturally with us,then they will need the ability to recognize and express emotions,to have emotions,and to have what has come to be called emotional intelligence,"Picard says.
One way that emotions can help computers,she suggests,is by helping keep them from crashing. Today's computers produce error messages,but they do not have a "gut feeling" of knowing when something is wrong or doesn't make sense.A healthy fear of death could motivate a computer to stop trouble as soon as it starts.On the other hand, self-preservation would need to be subordinate to service to humans.It was fear of its own death that promoted RAL,the fictional computer in the film 2002 :A Space Odyssey, to extermine（消灭）most of its human associates.
Similarly,computers that could"read"their users would accumulate a store of highly personal information about us一not just what we said and did,but what we likely thought and felt.
"Emotion not only contribute to a richer quality of interaction,but they directly impact a person's ability to interact in an intelligent way,"Picard says."Emotional skills,especially the ability to recognize and express emotions,are essential for natural communication with humans."

参考解析
解析：事实细节题。本题考查文中人物的观点。可从第二段的结尾句中找到答案，选项A和C没有依据，选项B与第二段最后一句中的self-improvement不符，improve不等同于eliminate。
推理判断题。在第三段开头的条件状语从句中，" to adapt to us , and to interact naturally with us”既是与“to be genuinely intelligent”并列的结构，也是对其的补充解释，由此可以推断出答案。选项B无合理的依据。根据第四段第二句，情感只是让计算机知道什么时候出了毛病或指令不明，并可对此作出修正，但这并不能说明选项C或D正确。
词义推断题。在原句中，有了gut feeling，计算机就能知道何时出了毛病，由此可以推断gut feeling应该是一个好的特性，不带有任何贬义，从而排除选项B、C、D。
推理判断题。本题考查例子与观点的关系。该例子支持的观点是例子的前一句，即第四段第四句。其他选项并非作者在本文要阐明的目的。
推理判断题，也是观点态度题。根据文章开头以及综观全文可知，作者对改进被赋予情感的计算机的功能寄予了很高的期望。本题最具干扰性的是选项B，计算机对人类的威胁在第四段的例子里有步及，但这并非作者的主要想法，作者认为只要控制得好，情感计算机就能更高效（如最后一段所述）。
