9、giraffes.Giraffes are slender in shape,and they may not throw a good shadow,” says Dr.Strauss,who has since become a wildlife scientist.The Serengeti is about the size of Vermont,a state in the northeastern US,so the scientists could not study the entire area.Instead,they surveyed three areas where
10、giraffes were studied in the 1970s.As they expected,they saw far fewer of these animals.To find out if lions had been killing more giraffes in recent years,the team looked at the survival of young giraffes.Lions kill more young giraffes than adults,but the team found no decrease in young giraffes su

12、 too many giraffes.Two of the areas they studied are where giraffe meat is sometimes sold in local markets.Poachers catch more adult males than other giraffes.Researchers spotted too few males compared with females in those two areas,a sign of poaching.When the food supply is short,the environment s

29、ct Debater uses AI to search journals,newspapers and other information sources.It then filters out(过滤) useless information,picks the strongest arguments,and arranges them into a persuasive argument.In the Cambridge test debate,it argued the topic:AI will ultimately do more harm than good.According t
30、o IBM,it is the first machine that can debate complicated topics with humans.Before the debate,more than 1,100 arguments for the positives and negatives of AI were submitted to the IBM website.The machine then analyzed these sources and formed the basis of its arguments in minutes.Project Debater th
31、en showed off its AI by arguing for both sides of the debate.Over a four-minute speech,it argued first that,“AI can only make decisions that it has been programmed to solve,while humans can be programmed for all plots,possible events.”In support of AI,it then argued that AI would create new jobs and

37、 Becoming a scientist takes a long time.There are very few careers that take longer than this one.Even when youre doing with your education,you still have to get research under your belt.If youre an instant-gratification(即时满足) type of person,this may not be the right career for you.Be diligent and p
38、ersevere.Its been said that jobs in science are the lowest paid in the US.What this is getting at is that because of the long path to success,for a while you wont be living lavishly(丰富地).2Have the need to always keep learning.3 Whether its reading peer-reviewed journals,attending seminars,or working
39、 toward getting yourself published,youll always be learning.4 In those years of waiting for results,you need to constantly be looking for the smallest changes in what you expect to see.Your eye needs to be focused and ready at all times.Think differently.Think back to Newtons apple falling on his he
