Can robots be creative? British art gallery owner Aidan Meller thinks so. He hopes to begin answering that question with a robot called Ai-Da. Meller is overseeing the building of all her parts by engineers at Engineered Arts, a company based in Cornwall, England. The engineers believe the robot will be able to make pictures of people from sight with a writing instrument in her hand. Meller wants the robot to perform like a human artist. He spoke to the Reuters news agency after seeing Ai-Da’s head being carefully brought to life by specialists who were connecting individual hairs to form eyebrows. He said, “She’s going to actually be drawing and we’re hoping to then build technology for her to paint.” But also as a performing artist, “she’ll be able to engage with audiences and actually get messages across, asking those questions about technology today,” he added. Ai-Da’s skeletal robotic head may still be separate from her body, but her movements are very alive. Cameras in each of her eyeballs recognize human body parts. Ai-Da will make eye contact and follow you around the room, opening and closing her mouth as you do. If you get too close, the robot will back away, closing and then opening her eyes as if in shock. The specialists are using the company’s Mesmer lifelike robot technology to create her head. Once finished, Ai-Da will have a mixed-race appearance, with long dark hair and rubber-like skin made from silicone. The teeth and skin inside her mouth will come from a 3-D printer. Marcus Hold works at Engineered Arts. He said “Mesmer brings together the development of software mechanics and electronics to produce a lifelike face with lifelike gestures in a small human sized package.” Ai-Da will make her first public appearance at an exhibit called “Unsecured Futures” at the University of Oxford. Some of her pictures are expected to appear at another show in London later this year. 【1】What does Meller want Ai-Da to be? A.A consultant. B.An engineer. C.A professional painter. D.A robot artist. 【2】How will Ai-Da do when you get very close to her? A.Step back. B.Keep still. C.Run away. D.Speak aloud. 【3】Which of the following is Ai-Da good at? A.Doing housework. B.Taking care of the old. C.Interacting with persons. D.Making up like humans. 【4】What may be the best title for the text? A.Ai-Da, a Creative Robot B.Meller, a Great Engineer C.Ai-Da Makes Painting Easier D.Meller Helps Robot Cleverer |

Are you wondering whether it’s worth going for a little jog? Don’t hesitate, and get your sports shoes on. A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of premature (过早的) death. In an analysis of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark, the group of researchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded that increasing running participation would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity. The studies involved 232,149 participants over time periods ranging from 5.5 to 35 years. Overall, people running any distance were associated with a 27% lower risk of death from all causes than those who did not, the analysis shows. Running was also associated with a 30% and 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and cancer, respectively. Previous studies had concluded “inconsistent findings” about whether running could lower the risk of premature death, according to the researchers. Lead researcher Jim White, a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne, told CNN, “Our recent findings may motivate physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing it.” He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findings to promote running as a part of “lifestyle medicine”. In their paper, which will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the researchers say health professionals are sometimes wary of promoting running because vigorous (剧烈的) use of it has been linked with sudden cardiac death. Jim and his team countered this by noting that the benefit of running outweighs the risk. However, they did say advice should be given on a case-by-case basis, as running might not be appropriate for everyone. Although running has a clear overall health benefit, the researchers point out that higher “doses” of running may not reduce the risk of premature death further. According to the WHO’s guidelines, adults aged between 18 and 64 should take 150 minutes of gentle exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week. 【1】What did the new study focus on? A.The benefit of jog. B.People’s lifestyles. C.People’s living conditions. D.The popularity of jog. 【2】What will the study contribute to according to Jim? A.Researchers’ promotion of sport. B.People’s involvement in running. C.Doctors’ quicker treatment. D.People’s losing weight. 【3】What does the underlined word “wary” in paragraph 5 mean? A.Certain. B.Capable. C.Confident. D.Cautious. 【4】What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A.The risk of exercising vigorously. B.The suggestion on running appropriately. C.The reason why people should keep running. D.The argument about whether running benefits people. |

Light pollution is blocking a starry view of the night sky for more than half of people across England, a research has found. Fifty-seven percent of stargazers（观星者）struggled to see more than 10 stars, while just 2% of participants said they experienced a truly dark sky making them be able to count more than 30,9 according to the research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England （CPRE）. People in the countryside were encouraged to count how many stars they could see with eyes within the constellation （星座）of Orion, which is visible only in the winter months. Campaigners said the results of the star count, supported by the British Astronomical Association, showed the problem of light pollution and how it affected one of the countryside’s most magical sights—a dark, starry night sky. They said the results of the research to map England’s night skies suggested more could be done by the government, local councils and the general public to reduce the negative effects of artificial light from streets and buildings. Emma Marrington, dark skies campaigner at the CPRE, said “We’re hugely grateful to the people who took the time to get out and take part in our star count. But it’s deeply disappointing that the vast majority were unable to experience the natural wonder of a truly dark sky blanketed with stars. Without any action, our night sky will continue to be lost under a covering of artificial light, ruining the health of the natural world.” She added: “The star count results show just how far-reaching the light from street lights and buildings can be seen. Light doesn’t respect boundaries, and careless use can see it spread for miles from cities.” She suggested better-designed lighting, street light dimming（暗淡）systems and part- night lighting where some street lights are turned off during the small hours should provide an opportunity to limit the damage caused by light pollution, reduce carbon emissions and save money. 【1】What effect does the light pollution bring about to England? A.It leads the stars to disappear. B.It makes the countryside dim. C.It makes the environment terrible. D.It prevents the people seeing stars. 【2】What causes the light pollution according to the text? A.More and more buildings. B.Less and less outdoor activities. C.The overuse of artificial light. D.The spread of light in the countryside. 【3】How does Emma feel about the stargazers’ efforts? A.Disappointed. B.Surprised. C.Regretful. D.Appreciative. 【4】What is Emma’s suggestion for dealing with the light pollution? A.Using street lights wisely. B.Turning off lights at night. C.Spreading light further. D.Changing the streets1 design. |
