There, the whale body provides food and nutrients (营养物) to deep-sea animals, which are often hungry for food. The remains can la

18、st for hundreds of years and create a complex ecosystem called a whale fall (鲸落). Chinese scientists found a whale fall for the first time in the South China Sea during a deep-sea expedition (考察) carried out by oceanic research vessel (舰) Tansuo-1, which finished its expedition on April 2, 2020. Tan

19、suo-1 carried the manned submersible (潜水器) Shenhai Yongshi, which is able to dive into a depth of 45,000 metres. The whale fall in the South China Sea is about three metres long. Scientists have found several species (物种) of shrimp and fish near the whale fall. Some fish have started to eat the whal

20、es tail. The whale fall might be quite recent and needs long-term observation (观察), according to Xie Wei, a scientist who took part in the expedition. The whale fall ecosystem can exist in the deep ocean because great pressure and cold temperatures there prevent body from decomposing too quickly. Bu

21、t the depth also makes it hard for scientists to discover them. There are about 50 known whale falls in the world.

26、or not being able to cheer up and stop crying all the time. Early one morning Donna received a phone call with some terrible news: Her best friends brother had been killed in a car accident. Donna had known this friend, Mary, and her brother nearly all her life, and the news was really surprising. H

27、owever, Donna quickly pulled herself together, got in the car, and drove to her friends house to be there with her. Over the course of the next few days, when attending the funeral (葬礼) and receiving the hundreds of visitors, Donna was 100 percent present for Mary. She held her close while she cried

28、 her endless tears, sat by her side as the waves of sadness washed over her friend, and slept on the floor next to Marys bed to make sure she did not wake up alone in the middle of the night.

29、ncing. Several weeks later, when life began to return to normal, Donna realized that the level of support she had given Mary had been far greater than any support she had offered herself during her dark time. She was able to use the support she had given her friend as a mirror for the support she ha

On October 25th, 2018, Christies (佳士得拍卖行) had a very unusual sale. It sold the first piece of artwork created by artificial in

34、telligence for $432,500. The painting was created by an AI program written by Obvious, an AI research studio in Paris. Soon questions rang through the media: Is this art? Who is the artist? How about the owner? Are machines now creative, too? All good questionsbut too early. The technology is far fr

35、om advanced (高级的), as Obvious suggested, because the public is completely confused about what AI is, and what it is able to do. In fact, the painting was just one of the countless artworks AI could produce. It was the team behind Obvious that chose this one. The team first programmed the AI, and the

36、n they chose 15,000 paintings to train the software (软件). Connecting the painting with the algorithm (计算程序) was just a clever marketing tool. AI did not produce the painting on its own at all. Lots of artists are using the same software as Obvious, but none of them is worried about losing jobs becau

37、se of AI. As they build the machine themselves and work with it every day, they know how limited it is. What interests the artists is to create works together: the way AI lets them go beyond their natural ability. Artists also laugh at the idea that AI is creative. It certainly creates things, somet

38、imes in new and successful ways, but it does so without a purpose. It is the artist who shapes its output. You make a fire and it produces interesting shapes, but in the end the fire is not creative. AI is a glorified (被美化的) campfire, said one of the pioneers of using AI in art.(1) The underlined wo

The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. Boys who worked in

43、the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them. Vaillants study followed these males in great detail.

44、 Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. The link between what the men had done a

45、s boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found

46、 that IQ and familys social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Workingat any ageis important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competencethe underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand

47、 that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.(1) What do we know about John?AHe was envied by others in his childhood.BHe had few childhood pl
