Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks (自拍杆) For better or worse, they have taken the world by storm.
However，a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it selfie arm. This new invention is a small, useful and cleverly-designed tool. It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.
The pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick, The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos. It seems that they are together with their friends. They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has--people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interest. The product, at present, just an art project and a model, conveniently provides you with a welcoming arm. And better yet in the future, it'll talk in a friendly way and never get angry or upset. The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.
The "selfie arm" is made of fiberglass. It is lightweight and easy-taking.
The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick phenomenon (FL%) directly and the increasing need for narcissism ( (%.) and Internet agreement.

A. Selfie sticks. B Selfie arm. C. Selfie camera. D. Fiberglass.
2. The people look _____ while they are taking pictures of themselves by using the selfie arm.

Artificial intelligence (AI)（人工智能）is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence" in 1955.Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.
An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that 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 Chess and Alpha-Go(阿尔法狗). Some people also consider AT a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking（霍金），a well-known British scientist, was not for this kind of technology.
Math is the basic language of Al. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the fu-ture. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math skills which are needed to change them into Al designers. Be-sides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for Al designing.
Scientists hope to create creative and emotional Al which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.
1. From Paragraph 1, we know that _____ .
A. all problems can be solved by AI
B. machines with Al can think and learn
C. Al has been around for only 60 years
D.AI works in the same way as humans
2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to（指的是）_____ .
