    The Ameca Robot is Getting Better

    The Ameca robot is once again making headlines. In a video released by Engineered Arts, the humanoid robot is shown engaging in conversation. For each question posed by the human participant, the robot briefly pauses before delivering a response that mixes words with proper facial expressions. Besides, this Ameca demo uses GPT3 for conversation and translation. 

    ____

    Anyone can put on a show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe's big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren't funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piot Mirowski, the show's co-maker. "We do not use humans to show off Al, we use AI to show its limitations ( (局限性), to show human creativity on the stage." said Mirowski.

    Artificial Intelligence and Education

    On October 21st, at the New Oriental Family Education Summit Forum, Yu Minhong stated that AI is not very beneficial (有益的) for children in terms of education. Robin Lee retorted (反驳): "I think this is a misunderstanding." Yu Minhong said, anyway, if a boy writes a particularly beautiful love letter to a girl, don't believe it was written by the boy himself, it may be written by artificial intelligence. Robin Lee replied, "It depends on his ability to write key words."

    1. (1) In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? 
      A . Life Science. B . It's Happening. C . AI Around the World. D . AI And Education.
    2. (2) What is true about Ameca Robot? 
      A . She can speak more than six languages B . She can make videos without any help. C . She uses GPT3 to act as humans. D . She shows proper facial expressions while talking.
    3. (3) The best heading for the second piece of news would be"
      A . AI Beats Humans Again. B . AI Robots May Have Limitations C . Humans Are Caught Up With By AI Robots. D . Suggestions For AI Robots.
    4. (4) Which one can be inferred from the third piece of news? 
      A . AI is bad for students' studying. B . AI can replace humans in all areas. C . Yu Minhong supports AI more than Robin Lee does. D . Robin Lee thinks we should use AI as a tool.
    5. (5) It's clear that ____.
      A . Articles may be written by AI nowadays. B . Ameca Robot briefly pauses after delivering a response. C . AI robot is more humorous than human. D . Mirowski thought human's creativity can be replaced by AI.

    I hid the long black bag in the garage (车库). Tonight, in the dark. If everything went OK, I would carry out my secret project. But I had to be sure that no one, not even my wife, saw me. 

    It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I made an excuse that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. Of course the main reason for leaving was to complete my plan. 

    Then I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10: 30 p. m. was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly in case that they would learn my secret. 

    Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbors might find me and call the police. It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. In fact, that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer (锤子).

    After much hard work, I finally completed my work. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4: 00 am. I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep, with great satisfaction. 

    It was long before the kids would rush into my room and woke me up. They were so thrilled, racing to tell me, "Daddy! Santa Claus brought us a lovely tree house this year." Seeing their excitement on their faces, I knew it's worthwhile for me to do it.

    1. (1) The author hid the things in the garage perhaps because ____.
      A . He stole those things from his neighbors B . He wanted to give his family a surprise C . He didn't want to share them with his family D . He was afraid that the thief might steal them
    2. (2) We can know from Paragraph 2 that ____.
      A . The author's family left the party early that night B . The author wanted to go home earlier because he was tired C . The author didn't like the party at all D . The author planned the party
    3. (3) Why did the author think the work was not easy? 
      A . Because he wasn't sure of his plan B . Because the police warned him not to work at night C . Because it was late and he couldn't make much noise D . Because he never knew how to handle the saw and hammer
    4. (4) What can we learn from the passage? 
      A . Only the author's wife knew his plan B . The author had worked for hours on the tree house C . The kids were quite thankful for what the author had done for them D . The new tree house was a New Year gift from Santa Claus
    5. (5) The best title could be ____.
      A . For Santa Claus B . A Secret Present C . A careful Plan D . Merry Christmas Eve
