Superfast Writing Robot Tech company has made a powerful robot that can write novels.
Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.
This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it to generate (生成) human-like texts. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing range (范围) of a real person!
People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history papers, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even got advice on how to interact (互动) with people at a party, reported The Atlantic.
The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of difficult matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution. But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer. ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. The materials they create are difficult to distinguish (区分) from those made by humans. This causes many ethical (道德的) issues, such as the issue of copyright (版权) and the real meaning of art. Since the system is largely trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases and stereotypes (刻板印象) about certain groups. These are all the things that depend on humans to solve.

High Technology Used in Coronavirus Outbreak
During the fight against coronavirus in China, high-tech is used in many fields. Super computers and robots help scientists find treatments (疗法) for the virus, as well as control the infection (传染). They are playing a big role in the fight. Here are some examples.
Delivery robots | 快递机器人 Delivery robots are used to send packages (包裹) to people who have to stay at home in Wuhan. Other robots bring medicine or meals to patients in hospitals. |
Autonomous sterilization robots | 自动消毒机器人 Autonomous sterilization robots are helping hospitals to kill virus in quarantined wards (隔离病房) in Wuhan. Some of them can check patients’ body temperatures as well.They are called “good helpers” for the doctors and nurses who fight at the front line. |
Flying robots (drones) | 无人机 Drones are widely used to patrol (巡逻) public places in many towns and villages. If people gather in large groups or do not wear masks, drones can even warn (警告) them. They not only make work easier for people, but also prevent cross-infection (交叉感染). |
Remote 5G diagnosis and treatment system | 5G远程诊疗系统 Because 5G has a very short delay (延时) between sending and receiving information, it allows doctors to treat patients far away. These systems have offered remote diagnostic (远程诊断) services to help reduce the infection at hospitals in Wuhan and Sichuan. |
| A．Deliver packages. | B．Check patients’ body temperatures. |
| C．Receive information. | D．Warn people in public. |

【推荐2】The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step further—changing the actual composition (构成) of plants in order to get them to perform different, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors (传感器) printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect chemicals in groundwater. “We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to change the functions of the things that we use every day,” explained Michale Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow (发光) in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a weak light for 3.5 hours. The light, about 1000th of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. “The technology,” Strano said, “could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.”
In the future, the team hopes to develop a kind of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves only once but would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would slowly disappear when the day breaks.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity used in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission (传输). Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.

When you’re not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.
A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices(装置), such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the internet.
More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.
However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers(黑客),who may secretly use or change the information in the system.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure---smart home technology will change the way we live and work.

It takes the local government $63 million to build this “one of the most advanced high schools”. It is free and has no entrance exams(入学考试). All the 170 students are picked by drawing lots（抽签）from 1,500 applicants（申请者）. 95% of the students are blacks and about 85% are from low income families.
In the school, the students still sit in classrooms, but they work on their laptops(轻便电脑). Instead of textbooks, their lessons rely mostly on information found on the Internet. Students can learn at their own steps. They do their homework on computers and send it to teachers for marking. Parents can check their children’s study online at home.
The CEO of the School District said,“This is how school of today should be designed and developed to prepare students for life and work in the future.”

【推荐2】Everyone hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Robot’s noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished. But a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into any place we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (not only after an earthquake, of course).

【推荐3】Dragon Head-raising Day is celebrated on the second day of the second Chinese lunar month to show respect to Dragon King and wish good weather for a big harvest. It is considered the start of spring and farming.
After the cold winter, spring comes and animals are awake, but because of the winter, the weather is dry and farming needs water. The story goes that after this day, the Dragon King who controls clouds and rains would wake from his winter sleep and bring rainfall for the crops.
On that day, there are lots of traditional celebration activities. First, in the early morning when it’s still dark, families go to a river or a well with lanterns to get water and then carry it back home. Then they light candles, burn incense sticks (香柱) and offer a sacrifice (祭品). This ritual is named Yintianlong (lead the field dragon). People believe the actions can bring wealth and health to their homes.
The most well-known tradition on the day is having a haircut. It’s a sign of good luck and energy in the whole year. However, it is very bad luck to get a haircut during the first lunar month.
Eating “dragon” food is another important part of celebrations. Chinese are best at connecting certain food with luck so food eaten on this day also gets special names. Noodles which are long and thin are called “dragon beard (long xu).” Dumplings are called “dragon ears (long er).” Spring rolls are “dragon scales (long lin)”, and people call popcorn “dragon seeds (long zi)”.
Those celebration activities may be different in the south and the north, and some activities are remained to nowadays, while some are just kept in the past. But the wish for a good year ahead is the same despite the change of time or space.
