Artificial intelligence，or AI，has been applied in a wide range of fields to perform specific tasks，including education, finance, heavy industry, transportation, and so on．

Education

There are a number of companies that create robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology to computer science，though such tools have not become widespread yet．Advancements in natural language processing，combined with machine learning，have also enabled automatic grading of assignments．AI has also led to an explosion in popularity of MOOCs，or Massive Open Online Courses，which allows students from around the world to take classes online．

Finance

Use of AI in banking can be tracked back to 1987．Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations，maintain book-keeping，invest in stocks，and manage properties．Also，systems are being developed，like Atria，to translate complex data into simple and personable language．There are also wallets，like Wallet AI，which monitor an individual’s spending habits and provides ways to improve them．

Heavy industry

Robots have become common in many industries and are often given jobs that are considered dangerous to humans．Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or accidents due to failure in concentration and other jobs which humans may find degrading．

Transportation

Today’S cars can have AI-based driver assist features such as self-parking and advanced cruise controls．AI in transportation is expected to provide safe，efficient，and reliable transportation while minimizing the impact on the environment and communities．

Toys and games

Companies like Mattel have been creating AI-enabled toys for kids as young as age three．Using proprietary AI engines and speech recognition tools，they are able to understand conversations，give intelligent responses and learn quickly．AI has also been applied to video games，for example video game bots，which are designed to stand in as opponents where humans aren’t available or desired．

1.Which is true about AI and education?

A. Robots have been widely used to teach children．

B. AI has been used to grade students’homework．

C. AI has enabled more students to receive education at school．

"Remembering you are going to die, the best way I know is to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin:

"Now it is time for you to move on to what's next and obtain your desire. But you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps.

Since the family members hadn’t got together with a long time, so my father decided to organize a family gathering. In the park, I played with cousins. We were visiting the park while our parents were doing a barbecue. When my cousins and I was tired, we went to join the grown-ups’ activities. We share our lives while eating.

Warmer temperatures are the new normal

Hotter weather appears to be here to stay,El Nino or not.That's according to the U.N. weather agency.It warned that the Paris climate accord（协定）last year shouldn't give way to complacency（自满）about global warming.

The World Meteorological Organization issued（公布）its annual climate report following a record-hot 2015.It drew people's attention to records already announced by different countries' weather agencies.The agency pointed out that 2015 was breaking records on the surface.It also broke records hundreds of meters deep in the ocean.

And the first two months of 2016 were even hotter.These months are so unusual that they "have sent shockwaves around the climate science community."That's according to David Carlson of the World Climate Research Program.

Climate scientists blame record high temperatures last year and this year so far on a combination of a super-sized El Nino.It is a natural warming of pans of the Pacific that changes weather worldwide.Another factor is a long-term global warming trend from the burning of fossil fuels（化石燃料）.

NASA said last month was 1.35 degrees Celsius (2.43 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than average.Of that,0.8 degrees (1.44 degrees Fahrenheit) comes from the long-term warming.And 0.25 degrees (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) comes from El Nino.The rest is from unexplained results.This was calculated by climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute in Germany and the University of New South Wales.

Even after the El Nino phenomenon becomes less strong in coming months,way above normal temperatures won't exactly go away,Carlson and others said.

"We're on a slope; sometimes the slope goes very steep,sometimes it's a little bit more shallow,but we're going upward,"Carlson said in a news conference."So the normal is going to be increases: It's going to be increased temperature,increased ocean heat content,loss of ice,we know all of these things."

Katharine Hayhoe is a Texas Tech climate scientist who wasn't part of the WMO team.But she agreed:"These records vividly show the destructive power of an El Nino on climate changes."

The WMO predicts warmer weather accompanied by pockets of both drier and wetter conditions,depending on the region,around the world.

WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas told reporters in Geneva that many people believe the climate issue is "solved...since we reached a nice agreement in Paris."But,he said,"We haven't changed our behavior yet."

B. The problem of high temperature will be solved with the disappearance of El Nino

C. Scientists have different opinions on the causes of high temperature of the earth

D. Since we reached a nice agreement in Paris,we needn't worry about the increase of temperature

4.How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By making comparisons.

B. By analyzing the results and causes.
