Today's artificial intelligence may not be that clever, but it just got much quicker in understanding. A learning program designed by three researchers can now recognize and draw handwritten characters after seeing them only a few times, just as a human can. And the program can do it so well that people can't tell the difference.

The findings, published in the journal Science, represent a major step forward in developing more powerful computer programs that learn in the ways that humans do.

Although computers are excellent at storing and processing data, they're less-than-stellar students. Your average 3-year-olds could pick up basic concepts faster than the most advanced program.

In short, "You can generalize," said coauthor Joshua Tenenbaum. But there's something else humans can do with just a little exposure—they can break an object down into its key parts and dream up something new. "To scientists like me who study the mind, the gap between machine-learning and human-learning capacities remains vast," Tenenbaum said. "We want to close that gap, and that's our long-term goal."

Now, Tenenbaum and his colleagues have managed to build a different kind of machine learning algorithm (算法)—one that, like humans, can learn a simple concept from very few examples and can even apply it in new ways. The researchers tested the model on human handwriting, which can vary sharply from person to person, even when each produces the exact same character.

The scientists built an algorithm with an approach called Bayesian program learning, or BPL, a probability-based program. This algorithm is actually able to build concepts as it goes.

In a set of experiments, the scientists tested the program using many examples of 1,623 handwritten characters from 50 different writing systems from around the world. In a one-shot classification challenge, people were quite good at it, with an average error rate of 4.5 percent. But BPL, slightly edged them out, with a comparable error rate of 3.3 percent. The scientists also challenged the program and some human participants to draw new versions of various characters they presented. They then had human judges determine which ones were made by man and which were made by machine. As it turned out, the humans were barely as good as chance at figuring out which set of characters was machine-produced and which was created by humans.

The findings could be used to improve a variety of technologies in the near term, including for other symbol-based systems such as gestures, dance moves and spoken and signed language. But the research could also shed fresh light on how learning happens in young humans, the scientists pointed out.

（1） What is the passage mainly about?

A . An advance in artificial intelligence. B . A special learning program for students. C . The application of artificial intelligence D . A new approach of developing programs.
（2） By "less-than-stellar students" in Paragraph 3, the author means ________.

The Thanksgiving Day ,the fourth Thursday in November, is coming in America. But do you know something about the annual(每年的)Macy's Thanksgiving Parade(游行) in New York?

There are thousands of bystanders(看热闹的人)and millions of television viewers. The Parade is as traditional as turkey. The year 2016 was the 90th year of Macy's parade. It featured 15 huge balloons in the shape of cartoon and pop culture characters, 1,200 dancers and cheerleaders, 900 clowns(小丑),10 marching bands and nearly 9,000 workers, almost all of whom were volunteers.

The floats(彩车)and balloons have been getting larger ,more colorful and more surprising since Macy's immigrant (移民的) workers organized the first Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In 2016, school children were invited to the Macy's parade studios(画室) outside New York City, for a first look at several just completed floats.

Bella was excited to be there. “I think it's great because I get to see all of these floats before anyone else does in the parade,” said Bella.

John Piper is the president of Macy's Studio. He said his work was fun all the time. “It's a lot of work. All year long, the artists at Macy's Studio all build these floats. We create them from scratch(涂抹). I have the finest carpenters(木匠), metal workers, painters all cooperating(合作) together,” said Piper.

The floats were supposed to advertise for commercial sponsors(赞助商) for the start of the Christmas season. But Amy Kule, the event producer said, “ And the floats are used to keep the beauty and the majesty(庄严)of the parade. A Thanksgiving parade is always about giving back and entertaining(娱乐). But most importantly, it's about leaving it for the next generation.”

（1） .What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A . Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a custom held each year. B . The way of celebrating Thanksgiving Day isn't changed each year. C . There must be turkeys in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade D . Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is as important as turkey.

Christie was one of my best friend at high school. At that time, we often spend time together. Thank to her help, I made great Progress in my study. Last year, she decided to study abroad. In other words, we would be separated long time. Before her leaving off, I prepared a gift to show my best wishes to him. She said it was the best gift she has ever had. From then on, we’ve kept touch with each other through e-mails. I look forward to see her again in the near future.

The Power of a Note

On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier(Ohio) Leader Enterprise, I didn’t get a lot of fan mail, 16 a letter that was dropped on my desk one morning seemed 17 to me.

When I opened it, I read: “A nice piece of writing on the Tigers. Please 18 the good work.” It was 19 by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid for 15 cents a column inch ), his words couldn’t have been more 20 . I kept the letter in my desk drawer 21 it got rag-eared. Whenever I 22 whether I had the ability to be a writer, I would reread Don’s note and feel 23 again.

Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a 24 of writing a quick, encouraging word to people in 25 . “When I made others feel good about 26 ,” he told me, “I feel good too.”

Not 27 , he had a body of friends as big as nearby Lake Erie. When he died last year at 75, the paper was 28 with calls and letters from people who had been recipients of his 29 words.

30 the years, I’ve tried to copy the example of Don and other friends 31 care enough to write uplifting comments, because I think they are on to something important. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, such 32 bring warmth and reassurance. We all need a push from time to time, and a few lines of 33 have been known to turn around a day, even a life.

Be 34 with your praise. Superlatives like “greatest” “smartest” “prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praise is a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the 35 of dreams fulfilled.
