For people, it's not surprising that we can open a door, lift a heavy box and control ourselves while walking in the snow. But can a robot do this Well, Google's new robot, Atlas, can not only do these things, but it can also stand up if it falls down. Although the robot may be clumsy and not able to move easily, it was created mainly to work in dangerous places for humans.
Now, robots are much smarter than you might imagine. On March 9, 2016, AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence ( AI,人工智能) program made by Google's Deep Mind, challenged top professional Go player Lee Se-dol from South Korea. And AlphaGo beat Lee 4:1.
AI is the branch of computer sciences that emphasizes the development of intelligence machines, thinking and working like humans. In our daily lives, we use AI in many ways, like Apple's Siri and search engines like Baidu and Google.
Some people may worry whether computers are now smart enough to beat us at everything, but experts say that is not the case. Real life problems can be more difficult than the Go game. For example, humans can watch a person throw down a cup of coffee and know that the result will be a mess on the floor. A computer program would have to know the size of the cup, the height of the cup from the floor and many other things to find out the result. But we never know what will happen in the future.

A.敏捷的 B.结实的 C.笨拙的

A. help the disabled people

A. AI is used in many ways
B. AI can think and act like a human
C. computers can beat humans at everything

A. humans will have to follow robots' orders
B. it's difficult for robots to take the place of humans
C. people will depend on their robots to do all the things

When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to make her middle school modem. Claire asked the school board (董事会) to add solar panels (太阳能板) to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful for a really modem school.
The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work to raise the rest. They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations (捐赠), even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half of the cost)
After two years hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school's electricity needs—saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars. "My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community," Claire said. "There are always going to be hard parts. When there's a challenge ( 挑战) presented to you, you can learn from it and use it as a chance to overcome it. ''

Dear Victor,
I have received your letter from school and I am glad to know that you are becoming responsible (有责任的) enough to decide on your career(职业).
You are now in the final year of high school and are going to start further education in college. You know that we belong to different times, and my social life is different from yours. However, all I can say as advice is that you must choose a career wisely. The first consideration is your interest. You can only succeed and feel happy when you do something you enjoy. You must get a job which not only provides you with something useful, but also something you like. Then, you must read a lot in the field (领域) you are aiming at. Also, you should get to know the men and women who work in that field. When mind and heart work together, success is inevitable.
No career is more or less important. I think your interest may be in the field of making TV programs. Your good communication skills, your taking an active part in school plays and the prizes you have won in speech competitions all lead you to that direction. So a career in mass communication like TV and film production will bring luck to you. If you succeed in that field, you will become famous and rich.
Think a thousand times before making any final decision about your career. After all, we want you to be a man of success. We all know that you are old enough to think for yourself.
With all the best wishes!
Your loving father

Good morning, everyone! Here，I’d like to introduce the music robot my father bought online. It is small，so you can even carry it in your backpack. After you connect it to the Internet and speak to it, it can provide different kinds of services. For example, you just say, “ Ding-dong, I want to listen to TFBOYS’ songs”，and it will play their songs at once. You can also ask it about weather or even your problems in study. Besides, it can remind you of important dates and so on.
I am so amazed at the music robot because it makes my life more enjoyable. I really love it!
