Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能)is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with(提出)the name "artificial intelligence" over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.

An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地). At present, we use the term AI for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing(识别)human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like playing Chess. However, some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking(霍金), a famous British scientist was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers(设计者)in the future. We need not only bright students, but also average(普通的)students. As for(对于)average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.

Scientists hope to create creative and emotional(有感情的)AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.

Staying Fit While Indoors

During this special time, it's a good idea to do some indoor exercises. Exercising has many benefits. Here are some great ideas to get you started!

Run in place. Start by kicking your feet behind you as you run. Then, bring your knees up as high as possible when you feel like you've warmed up. Start by running in place for five minutes. Then, try to run in place for ten minutes.

Do push-ups to build up your upper body. Begin by getting into a plank position (平板式). Then, bend (弯曲) your elbows and lower yourself toward the floor but do not touch the floor. Start by doing a set of 10, and work your way up to three or four sets.

Work on mountain climbers. Start by getting into a standard push-up position. Then, bring your left knee to your chest, keeping your arms in place. Replace your left leg and bring your right knee to your chest. Continue to turn legs. Repeat this three times for 30 seconds each set.

Try jumping jacks. Stand with your feet together and your arms at your side. Then, jump and stretch your arms and feet. Start by doing three sets of 10. Increase the amount (数量) of jumping jacks you do when you feel ready.

1.Which is the right way to start running in place?

A.By getting into a plank position. B.By kicking your feet behind you.

C.By standing with your feet together. D.By getting into a standard push-up position.

2.Which exercise mainly builds up your upper body?

A.Push-ups. B.Jumping jacks. C.Run in place. D.Mountain climbers.

3.According to the text, how many jumping jacks should you start doing?

A.Two sets of 10. B.Two sets of 20. C.Three sets of 10. D.Three sets of 20.
