17、lever. After doing a little research, I found that making Christmas trees from a pile of books is popular right now, especially at libraries.The Inglewood Library in Los Angeles created a tree from little used books using red books on the bottom to copy a tree skirt and green books for the tree itse

18、lf. Other examples are from the Gleeson Library in San Francisco and a small bookstore window in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. One of the great things about using books to create a decorative Christmas tree is that there is no waste. After Dec 25, the books just go back on the shelf.I couldnt find any sp

19、ecific instructions online with tips for building a tree out of books, but it seemed pretty simple. So last night, my 9-year-old son and I emptied several shelves in his room and built our own tree out of copies of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Captain Underpants, Stink, Harry Potter and dozens of other boo

20、ks. The top book on the tree is The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.We took an old string of lights and wrapped them around the tree and a spare star tree topper that we had and lit the tree of books up. He was thrilled to have his own Christmas tree in his bedroom.We didnt worry about making the tree p

21、erfectly symmetrical (对称的), but with a little more time and patience we could have made a tree that was taller and a little neater. That wouldnt have been nearly as much fun for us, though. I could see the tree through the crack in his door last night as he was sleeping, and it made me smile every t

25、explaining how childrens minds develop as they get older. Once an American asked, “But Prof. Jean, how can we get them to do faster?” Today its no longer just impatient Americans who assume that faster brain and cognitive (认知的) development is better. Across the globe, both parents and policy makers

26、eagerly push preschools to be more like schools. A wave of new research shows, however, that this picture is far too simple. In 1998 a landmark series of studies looked at the long term effect of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on childrens growing up. ACEs include physical or emotional overloo

27、k or abuse, being poor, losing parent, violence or mental (精神的) illness in the home. Since the original studies, there have been hundreds of similar ones done across the world. It turns out that ACEs are disastrously common. A new paper by Dr. Mackey, published in Nature Neuroscience Reviews, also c

28、oncludes that. ACEs seem to make childrens brains grow up too quickly. Dr. Mackey suggests that frequently repeated bad experiences may have the worst speeding up effect, while more varied and unusual good experiences may be particularly likely to keep the brain open to learning. Why would stress an

29、d disasters make us grow up faster and a rich, varied, nursing environment make us grow up more slowly? One influential recent idea takes off from the biological concept of “life history”. An animals life history includes how long it lives, how much it invests in its young and how long it takes thos

30、e young to mature. A “live fast, die young” life history makes more developmental sense when resources are few and life is predictably hard. In brief, a long, slow life history goes with a big, smart brain. All of this should be able to relieve the parents worries about “the American question”. Lovi

31、ng your children and giving them space to learn and explore is more important than designing a particular curriculum (课程).8. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A.

34、 YoungB. Faster Development, Better FutureC. An American Question, the Worlds ProblemD. ACEs, Key to Childrens Brains DevelopmentDA major challenge for fully autonomous vehicles is navigating bad weather, snow especially. Averaging more than 200 inches of snow every winter, Michigans Keweenaw Penins

35、ula is the perfect place to push autonomous vehicle tech to its limits. In two papers presented at SPIE Defense+Commercial Sensing 2021, researchers from Michigan Technological University discuss solutions for snowy driving scenarios that could help bring self-driving options to snowy cities like Ch

36、icago, Detroit, Minneapolis and Toronto.Just like the weather at times, self-driving is not a sunny or snowy yes-no designation (指定). Autonomous vehicles cover a series of levels, from cars already on the market with blind spot warnings or braking assistance, to vehicles that can switch in and out o

37、f self-driving modes, to others that can navigate entirely on their own. Major automakers and research universities are still tweaking self-driving technology. Occasionally accidents occur, either due to a misjudgment by the cars artificial intelligence(AI) or a human drivers misuse of self-driving

38、features.Humans have sensors, too: our scanning eyes, our sense of balance and movement, and the processing power of our brain help us understand our environment. These seemingly basic inputs allow us to drive in virtually every scenario, even if it is new to us, because human brains are good at gen

39、eralizing new experiences. In autonomous vehicles, two cameras scan and perceive depth using stereo vision to mimic human vision, while balance and motion can be gauged(计量) using a measurement unit. But computers can only react to situations they have encountered before or been programmed to recogni

40、ze.Since artificial brains arent around yet, task-specific artificial intelligence(AI) algorithms(计算) must take the wheel. Fisheye cameras widen the view while other cameras act much like the human eye. Infrared(红外线) picks up heat signatures. Radar can see through the fog and rain.“All snow is not c

41、reated equal,” Bos said, pointing out that the variety of snow makes sensor detection a challenge. “AI is like a chef - if you have good ingredients, there will be an excellent meal,” he said.12. In what aspect is self-driving similar to the weather?A. Both need assistance.B. Both give warnings.C. B

42、oth extend their limits.D. Both have different levels.13. What might a computer fail to do?A. Generalize new experiences.B. Scan the unfamiliar environment.C. Help vehicles achieve balance.D. React to situations from memory.14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on?A. Artificial brains.B. Fisheye ca

43、meras in cars.C. Applications of Al.D. The power of Radar.15. What does Bos want to convey in the last paragraph?A. Bad weather discourages applications of Al.B. AI has great potential to improve self-driving.C. AI can help chefs to make wonderful meals.D. Bad weather poses a challenge to sensor det
