Google’s new artificial intelligence can defeat both humans and other AIs.Fortunately,the only war zone where it fights and wins is the ancient board game Go(围棋).
AlphaGo Zero,developed by Google-owned DeepMind,is the latest AI program.The original AlphaGo defeated Go master Lee Sedol last year,and AlphaGo Master,an updated version,went on to win 60 games against top human players.What’s different about AlphaGo Zero is that it became potentially the world’s best Go player without any help from humans.
The program AlphaGo Zero started off knowing only the basic rules and then played millions of games against itself in just a few days.After almost five million games played against itself,AlphaGo Zero could outplay humans and the original AlphaGo.After 40 days,it was capable of beating AlphaGo Master.
The program learned the strategies humans accumulated over thousands of years in a matter of weeks and also developed nontraditional strategies and moves that beat the techniques of the human masters,leaving them astonished.“At each stage of the game,it seems to gain a bit here and lose a bit there,but somehow it ends up slightly ahead,as if by magic,” said Andrew Jackson of the American Go Association.
DeepMind says it has plans for the technology behind AlphaGo Zero beyond just defeating
all on an ancient game board.“In the end,we want to apply these breakthroughs to helping solve all sorts of real world problems like designing new materials,” said Demis Hassabis,co-founder and CEO of DeepMind,in a statement.
That sounds great,but just as a precaution,let’s take the advice of Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and keep any super-fast learning AI away from the nuclear launch codes.

A.It teaches itself.
B.It beats AlphaGo Master.
C.It knows the basic rules of Go.
D.It plays against itself for a long time.
3.What’s DeepMind’s plan for the AI technology?
A.To design a new version.
B.To win all the ancient board games.
C.To beat human beings all over the world.

Anyone who knows me well would see me as an optimist.1This was the case for me on a particularly cold January day.
I felt exhausted by the painful challenges I was dealing with in my personal life.2—The gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight.
About midway through the day,I left work to get some lunch.Still feeling negative,I noticed that the sun had come out for a moment.I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind.3Even though I reminded myself of this truth,I couldn’t make the change.
As I stopped at a red light,I looked at the car in front of mine.The personalized license plate
caught my eye—It read “SUNZOUT”.This brought an immediate smile to my face.4And in the midst of the longest,darkest,coldest winter,this in itself was a blessing.But then my eyes moved to the car that was next to the SUNZOUT vehicle.The license plate on that car read “GROUCH”.This brought more than a smile to my face as I laughed out loud!Seeing the two opposite license plates at that exact moment in time strengthened my previous recognition of my ability to choose my attitude.5
I returned to work and shared my story with several co-workers who responded with warm laughter at what I referred to as my “message from beyond”.I learned that day that when we’re feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out of an active state,relief is only a prayer away!
A.The weather seemed to match my mood.
B.Pessimists think the opposite way,however.
C.However,even optimists can temporarily lose hope.
D.It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all.
E.Do you think that the sunshine will spread throughout your life?
F.I felt my spirit lift as I made the decision to choose a positive attitude.
G.While I could not ignore the pain I was going through,I could choose to think positively. 参考答案：CAGDF

Constipation(便秘) is just one of the most painful conditions which also results in remains of poisonous substances inside the body.But do you know that one of the other benefits of drinking water is that it helps to clear out your bowels?The colon (结肠),which is in part responsible for bowel movements,requires water to function properly.3.

coffee,which makes central nervous system excited,your nervous system will be affected from the get-go.4.It can properly supply water to your nervous system,which will help it function properly.
Again,if you are likely to suffer migraine(偏头疼),then water can help fight it off.5.So just by increasing your water intake,you are basically preventing your chances from suffering another headache attack.This is especially so when you are drinking water on empty stomach,as your body didn’t get any liquid when you were asleep.
A.If your metabolic rate is higher
B.Just have a glass of warm water instead

阅读下面短文, 根据内容写一篇60 词左右的内容概要。
It is no one’s job to believe in you, and no one will, unless you believe in yourself. Belief that you can achieve whatever you set your mind to will keep you working when others give up, and it will give you the tools you need to craft your own success from any situation. Any natural talent you have is not enough. Talent is only the beginning. Success is only achieved through hours and hours of hard work, of being knocked down but refusing to quit, and if you are unwilling to put in the effort, you will be overtaken by those who simply want it more.
Part of success is being able to cope with failure. What if you give your best, and you still fail? My answer to that, is this: I would sooner look myself in the eye and know I did my best, than know I failed because I was held back by fear. There is no honour in being able to say that you could have done better if you had tried harder. The rowing race that I am most proud of was actually one that I lost, as it is the one I know I gave my all to. No one can ask for more than your best, and if you give your best then you have not failed.
So how do you stop the task at hand from feeling too overwhelming? How do you pace yourself for a goal you know will take two years to achieve? How do you cope with the pressure? There is a skill to not thinking too far ahead. You must discipline yourself to focus on what you need to do on a day-by-day basis. Big dreams are made of little goals. Complete one task at a time, brilliantly, and then the next, and the next. Do this for long enough, and you will get there. When you do, you can finally step back and appreciate that you have achieved something incredible.
