It is also a field of study that tries to make computers smart. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name artificial intelligence in 1955. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地）. At present we use the term Al for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing(识别）human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like Chess and AlphGo（阿尔法狗）. Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking (霍金), a well-known British scientist, was not for this kind of technology.Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.（1）From Paragraph 1, we know that . A . all problems can be solved by AIB . machines with AI can think and learnC . AI has been around for only 60 years.D . AI works in the same way as humans（2）The underlined word it in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是） A . ChessB . AlphaGoC . the dangerD .

What are the best inventions of last year? Here are three amazing things in Time magazines list of the 25 best inventions of 2017.Smart mugIts hard to keep coffee or tea warm, especially in winter. But this smart mug from US company Ember Technologies can solve this problem. There is an app for the mug that allows people to set the mug to a certain temperature between 48 and 62. Then, the mug keeps your coffee or tea at that temperature for about an hour, and even longer if you put the mug on a charging（充电）plate.Social robotCan robots talk to us like humans? Jibo, a robot made by US company Jibo Inc, can do this. With a big, round head and a big body, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. And its voice sounds like a 10-year-old boy. As soon as you say Hey, Jibo, it dances and turns to face you. When it talks to you, it moves its head and body to communicate with you. Its appearance, tone of voice and humor make you feel that you have a little friend Jibo is able to tell stories to children, take pictures just by hearing your order Jibo, take a picture, and do hundreds of other jobs. Although its creators think that Jibo still has a lot to learn, its available with a price of $ 899; a good price for a pretty smart and friendly robot!Fidget spinnerWhat is the most popular toy this year? The answer is probably fidget spinners. They are small plastic or metal toys with a bearing(滚珠轴承）in the middle.

Some people say that it helps them calm down and relax. But it may not be a good thing to spend too much time playing with it.（1）Why is the smart mug special? A .
