Many of us have learned that chatting with a friend, relative or classmate can improve our mood (心情).And failing to communicate with others can also affect the health of our minds and bodies.
Now experts in the US have found that a good conversation just once a day could be enough to people’s happiness and lower their stress levels.
The researchers looked at five types of conversation that past research has found to make people feel closer.These included things like sharing jokes, listening to others’ opinions, discussing recent experiences, offering real praise and showing care for others.The researchers asked over 900 people at five US universities to have one of these five types of conversation each day.Then these people reported how their chats affected their stress, well-being and other feelings that day.
The researchers also looked at how the number of daily chats affected the people’s well-being.And they found that while one good chat was enough to improve someone’s mood, those who chose to have more of these conversations had better days.“This means the more that you listened to your friends, the more that you showed care, the more that you took time to value others’ opinions, the better you felt at the end of the day,” one of the researchers said.
The researchers also said that meeting for a chat was better for people’s well-being than using a phone or social mediums (媒介).

Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words.It’s the first time it’s been done without having to put anything into the brain.They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器).The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active.People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned.The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard.After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.
The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him.For example, it turned “I don’t have my driver’s license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words.The AI was personalized, so when it had learnt from one person but it was tested on another, it couldn’t understand their thoughts.
The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly.Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “ ” The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.

The children, seeing the house the bird landed on, stopped and looked for some time.It was not a normal house at all.It was made of bread and candy, and the 1.windows were made of sugar.The children 2.suddenly ran to the house and started to eat it.
As they ate, a 3.woman’s voice could be heard from inside the house saying, “Who’s that, eating at my home ”
The children dropped what they were 4.eating, and were about to run away, but then a very old woman appeared at the door.“Ah! Children!” she said.“Do not run, come in.There’s much more food inside.” The woman seemed so kind that the children lost all feeling of danger, and went straight to her, and let her take their hands and lead them into her room.
They were given all kinds of delicious food and drink, and they were told that they could stay as long as they wanted, for the woman had another room 5.with two clean beds.
As kind as the old lady appeared to be, she was really a terrible witch (女巫), who liked to eat children.Her house was made of bread and candy, because children liked such things, and so it would be easier for the witch to get them to stay.She did not eat them right away, for often the children were very thin, and the witch wished to make them 6.fatter than before, by giving them a lot of food.
And so, the next morning, she 7.went into the room where the children were sleeping.As she looked down on them in their beds, she said, “Yes.They will make a very delicious dinner.”

Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words.It’s the first time it’s been done without having to put anything into the brain.They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能).It is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器).The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active.People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned.The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard.After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.
The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him.For example, it turned “I don’t have my driver’s license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words.The AI was personalized, so when it had learnt from one person but it was tested on another, it couldn’t understand their thoughts.
The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly.Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to, and that it helps them.” The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.
1.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2 (No more than 8 words)
To describe the process of the experiment.
2.What does the example in Paragraph 3 show (No more than 12 words)
The AI couldn’t understand the exact words of what people thought.
3.What can we learn from the text (No more than 12 words)
It’s expected that AI will help those speechless exchange ideas.
4.请将文中画线的句子翻译成汉语。
我们希望确保人们只在想要的时候使用这些类型的技术,并且这对他们有帮助。
5.请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。
