And now, AI can do even more things.Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English, Business Standard reported.According to Microsofts official website, researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then, language experts compared the results to two translations that were done by humans. The experts concluded that the systems translations were as good as the human translations.Machine translation is always challenging. This is partly because different words can be used to express the same meaning. It can be hard to say which word is more “correct”.Experts used several methods to improve the systems translation abilities. “Much of our research is really inspired (得到启发) by how we humans do things,” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.One method is called dual learning. In this method, the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English, as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are accurate (准确的).Another method makes use of deliberation networks. The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually, the system can improve the quality of its translations. This is similar to how people revise their own writing by going through it again and again.46 .

What is the main idea of the story?AWhat artificial intelligence can do for us.BHow sentences are translated from Chinese to English.CHow the machine translation system was developed.DWhy Microsoft created a machine translation system.Look around and youll see people busy on their smart phones. Smart phones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?According to a study, half of Chinese-people own smart phones and they spend an average of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number or people in China who suffer from shortsightedness since smart phones were introduced there in 1997.Staring at smart phones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink（眨眼）a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smart phones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils（瞳孔）become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma.While youre probably not going to stop using your smart phone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the top of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.50 . The article is mainly about _.Athe rules to obey when using smart phones.Bthe harm that smart phones do to users eyes.Cthe reason why teenagers get shortsightedness.Dadvantages and disadvantages of smart phones.51 . According to Paragraph 3, using smart phones improperly may cause _.Atoo many blinks.Bmore tears in the eyesCsmaller pupilsDdry eyes and glaucoma52 . Which of the following is suggested by the writer?ADont use the phone for over an hour without a break.BHold the phone at least half a meter away from the eyes.CTurn off your phone for a couple of hours every day.DLook at something green far away for several minutes53 .

Everybody must have 12 grapes to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a grape. But we cant ever finish eating the grapes on time! Usually when people still have some grapes in their mouths, they look at each other and start to laugh. This tradition started in Spain long ago. One year, when there were a lot of grapes, the king of Spain decided to give grapes to everybody to eat on New Years Eve.Cordon from Britain: On New Years Day in Britain, people have parties. At 12 Oclock, the music stops, and we listen to the radio. On the radio we hear Big Ben, the famous clock in London. Then everybody sings a song about friendship and kisses their friends.

They all give me a drink.Angela from Brazil: In all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Years Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro(里约热内卢).
