9、ol. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while xkw the other led some sort of a
10、rmy across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped (掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks late
11、r, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act
12、this way?”Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know t
13、hat my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I th
14、rew myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmasters office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I x smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told k me I was good enough

A friend in need is a friend indeed.BRising numbers of older adults are unable to care for themselves, often leading to serious health problems and even death, according to state and local government agencies. So-calle
18、d self-neglect cases generally involve the inability to perform basic self-care, such as providing oneself with food, personal health, medication and safety.Seniors who no longer drive, for instance, are often unable to get to medical appointments, worsening health problems that can make them unable
19、 to care for themselves. A fall can result in body injuries leaving one bedridden (卧床不起的) and unable to care for oneself. Failure to pay bills for public services could lead to service cutoffs. Forgetting to pay rent could lead to the loss of a home.Mr. McCormack, 75 years old, and his wife, 71, bot

The federal government doesnt have comparable data for previous years, but several state and local service providers say they
22、are seeing the self-neglect problem swell.The reasons seniors stop caring for themselves vary, including illness, depression and poverty.

29、opy the structure of human brains: their processors are highly interconnected and work at the same time to solve problems. They are good at spotting patterns in huge amounts of data. Reinforcement learning is when a machine, given a task, carries it out, learning from mistakes it makes. In this case
30、, it means playing poker against itself billions of times to get better.Mr Heinrich told Sky News: “Today we are presenting a new procedure that has learned in a different way, more similar to how humans learn. In particular, it is able to learn abstract patterns, represented by its neural network,
31、which allow it to deal with new and unseen situations.”After two hours of quite defensive play, from the computer at least, we called it a draw（平局）. 27. Why cant the computer beat humans at the poker game?A. Because humans are cleverer than the computer.B. Because humans practice playing the poker g
32、ame every day.C. Because the computer cant learn the regular rules of the poker game.D. Because the computer cant know the other players cards completely.28.
