Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.

They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps(步), he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug(拥抱). The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.” At the same time, the old woman’s son was also surprised at his mother’s pleasure and asked why. “I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger than I expected.”

If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.

US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, "Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind."

In celebrating World Poetry Day, March 21, UNESCO discovers the special ability of poetry to express the human spirit.

The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the author and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better.

But in the age of AI(人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it wasn't written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, even poems included.

In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called "bot or not", where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that throughout the years, some of the website's poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.

By starting the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would question the difference between humans and machines and be able to find out what makes us human.

Unstableness(不稳定性)is part of the answer. "The human is not a cold, hard fact," Schwartz said. "Rather, it is something that's constructed(构成)with our ideas and something that changes over time."

A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn't be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, today's AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, "The computer works like a mirror that reflects(反映)any idea of a human that developers teach it."

So a new challenge arises: What kind of human mind do we want the computer to reflect back at us?

C.Readers don't really care whether the poems were written by humans.

D.Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.

3.According to Schwartz, what makes humans different from machines?

A.We have changing ideas. B.We often make mistakes.

C.We are stable in what we do. D.We value feelings over facts.

4.Why can't computers match humans in creating poems according to the article?

A.They can't express feelings as well as humans.

B.They can't create poems that make sense(说得通)at all.

C.They fail to use the correct grammar and style.
