In less than a minute, they had formed teams and were busy playing with the pen, the eraser, the book, and the pad of paper. Very strange stuff they were getting up to. Like with the sums, instead of moving the pe
11、n across the paper, they would hold the pen still and move the paper instead. Or like how they had races to see who could do the sums fastest. They also used well-known songs to learn the words to them.When they had done that they put on a big concert to sing those songs.Charlie really enjoyed watch

18、Beijings big step in wildlife protection. These birds had recovered after the Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center rescued and took care of them. “We will speed up our efforts to push the establishment of district-level wildlife rescue centers to guard the health of wildlife,” said Mr.
19、Du, director of the center. The center was set up in 2001 and built a wildlife rescue base in the capitals Shunyi District in 2005. Staff at the base have rescued and rehabilitated over 30,000 wild animals in total.Wildlife protection has been strengthened in Beijing in recent years. On June 1, the
20、citys newly adopted regulation (法规) on wildlife protection took effect, introducing stricter and more concrete measures to protect the environment and wildlife. For example, the regulation states clearly that Beijing bans hunting throughout the year, compared with the previous regulation which bans
21、hunting during the periods of March to May and September to November each year. The new regulation also gives more serious punishment for illegal hunters.After years of monitoring, the species and quantity of wild animals in Beijing are continuously increasing, with the number of terrestrial spinal
22、wild animals (陆地脊椎野生动物) growing from 461 species in 1994 to more than 500. The habitat of the endangered bird has expanded from Fangshan District to the whole city.“The enforcement of the new regulation marked a new stage in Beijings wildlife protection work,” said Mr. Du.“We will step up the public
23、ity of the regulation and raise citizens awareness of wildlife protection,” Du said. “In our protection of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes and grasslands. we take into full consideration the requirements of ecological corridor construction (生态走廊建设), food- chain construction and wildlife

It will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from Open AI,
28、an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent robots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek. The robots also learned how to use basic tools and learned to play against the laws of physics in order to win.In April, 2019, a team of robots
29、 known as the Open AI Five beat the human world champions at the team-based video game Dota 2. The hide-and-seek robots use similar laws to learn, but the simpler game allows for more creative play.Bowen Bakerat Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based learning ability of the Open
30、AI Five could be used to create skills that could one day be useful to humans. The researchers set their robots in an environment filled with fixed walls and movable boxes and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek millions of times. The robots each had their own view of the world and couldnt
31、 communicate with each other directly. At first, the hiders simply ran away. However, they soon worked out that they could find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. For example, they learned that boxes could be used to block doorways and build simple hiding places. The seekers le
32、arned that they could move a ramp around and use if to climb over walls. The robots then discovered that being a team player was the quickest way to win.The hiders also learned to sabotage the other team such as hiding the ramp before hiding themselves so that the other team cant make use of the ram
33、p. “Once one team learns a new strategy. it creates this pressure for the other team to adapt,” says Baker.Such tricks show that AIs are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker. “Maybe theyll even be able to solve problems that humans dont yet know how to,” However, theres still a long w
