After waking up, yu may feel annyed that yu cannt recall the dreams yu had last night.Artificial intelligence (Al) may be able t help.
Previusly, there have been Al mdels that can turn text int images（图像）.They can d this by learning frm a large amunt f data frm bth tests and images. This time,researchers frm Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusin t recreate images based n peple's brain scans, reprted Science magazine.
The researchers used an nline data set prvided by the University f Minnesta, US,which cnsisted f brain scans frm fur participants as they each viewed a set f 10,000phts.The scans were recrded by functinal magnetic resnance imaging (fMRI).
The AI then learned abut the brain activities by analyzing changes in bld flw shwn by the fMRI data-when a part f the brain is activated（激活），mre bld will flw t it. It then matched the brain activities with the phts. Thrugh this methd, AI learned hw human brains wuld react when seeing different phts.
Finally,the researchers tested the AI n additinal brain scans frm the same participants when they viewed phts f a ty bear, airplane, clck and train. If the persn lked at an airplane， fr example， the AI wuld use the brain scan data t create an image f a very blurry（模糊的）airplane. Then， it wuld turn n the previus “text-t-image”mdel and imprve the quality f the image by feeding itself the keywrd "airplane". The final images were "cnvincing" with abut 80 percent f accuracy（精确），accrding t the researchers．
The new study created a new apprach that includes texts and images t “decipher（破译）the brain”，Ariel Gldstein frm Princetn University, US, tld Science magazine. In the future,scientists hpe that the technlgy can be used t recrd imagined thughts and dreams r allw peple t understand hw differently ther animals understand reality.
28.What d we knw abut Stable Diffusin?
A.It can help train peple's minds.
B.It can fully present peple's dreams.
C.It was created t draw peple's brains.
D.It can prduce pictures frm peple's thughts.
29.Hw did the AI system learn abut human brain activity?
A.By analyzing activities f human thughts.
B.By studying patterns f bld flw in the brain.
C.By recrding brain scans frm fur participants.
D.By examining 10,000 phts abut human brains.
30.Hw did the Al system imprve the quality f the final images?
A.By emplying a text-t-image" mdel.
C.By cmbining additinal brain scans.
B.By adjusting varius brain scan data.
D.By inputting text frm human bservers.
31.What is the ptential use f this technlgy accrding t scientists?
A.T imprve text-t-image mdels.
B.T create mre accurate brain scans.
C.T learn hw animals view the wrld.
D.T help peple interpret（解释）their dreams.
DCmfrt fd makes a persn feelgd. Fd high in sugar r fat tends t imprve md by stimulating the brain's reward system. S it makes sense that many f us may turn t fd fr cmfrt in times f stress. There's sme fascinating research that examines fd as a surce f cmfrt.Hwever, the mst interesting thing abut this research may be that fds are far less cmfrting than we tend t believe they are.
Traci Mann, a prfessr f psychlgy, and clleagues cnducted a series f study with cllege students. The researchers examined hw much cmfrt fds actually imprve md.They prvided students with ne f the three fds that they had indicated were their tp, persnal cmfrt fds. After prducing a negative md by having them watch mvie clips designed t increase their sadness, anger and anxiety, the researchers ffered the students their cmfrt fd.
They had t assess（评估）hw they felt befre and after they were suppsedly cmfrted by ice cream, pizza r whatever they had indicated they typically ate t feel better. All f the students cmpleted the study n tw separate ccasins: nce when they were able t eat their cmfrt fd and nce when they were able t eat anther fd they liked, but they wuldn't call a cmfrt fd. The researchers fund that cmfrt fd did imprve students' mds-but nly by a little bit and nt mre than the ther fd they liked.
In anther study, cmfrt fd was cmpared t n fd at all, and students' mds seemed t imprve even when they didn't eat anything-mst likely just due t the passage f time.
The take-hme message frm the studies? While the cmfrt fd may make the persn feel better fr the time being, it des little t address emtinal prblems. Of curse,everyne can indulge（纵情）in a cmfrt fd frm time t time， but verall， aim fr these instances t be the exceptin rather than the rule.
32.Which aspect f cmfrt fd d Tract Mann's studies fcus n?
A.The means by which it affects md.
C.Its impact n physical health.
B.Its rle in reducing negativity.
D.The degree t which it lifts md.
33.Hw were the studies carried ut?
A.By analyzing questinnaires abut cmfrt fds.
B.By bserving students' different reactins t fds.
C.By cllecting data abut peple frm all walks f life
D.By cmparing students' feelings n different ccasins.
34.What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?
A.T explain a rule.
C.T make a suggestin.
B.T intrduce a cncept.
D.T present a fact.
35.What is a suitable title fr the text?
A.The Science behind Cmfrt Fd
B.Cmfrt Fd May nt Wrk Wnders
C.Feeling Negative? Try Cmfrt Fd
D.Cmfrt Fd Tend t Be Unhealthy

It's a great pity that I had nt put frth the amunt f effrt required.

She laughed ften, and never threatened any f us,yet she was able t read" the children, cntrl the class,and teach effectively.Miss Pratt put a lt f herself int her wrk. Every day near the clse f schl, she wuld read t us,r even better, tell us stries abut when she was a little girl. Mst imprtantly, she made us feel that she cared abut us and that we were imprtant.
Because f a serius car accident when I was three and a half years ld, I had a scar belw my nse that was the result f a trn upper lip. Everything else had healed up withut any after effects physically, but my emtins remained scarred. Meanwhile, having been calledChief Running Nse "and "Scarface" by many insensitive children, my cnfidence had suffered.Althugh my parents and relatives referred t me as pretty, I did nt see myself that way.
Fcusing n my scar， I culd nt appreciate any redeeming features（可取之处）.At the end f ne schl day,I remained in my classrm, waiting fr the arrival f my mther,wh was cming t take me t an appintment clse t the schl. Miss Pratt sat at her desk with a fellw teacher and chatted.
I glanced at the clck and realized it was time t get ready t leave. I put n my wl cat and hat. The teachers lked at my clthes and seemed t admire it. I was able t read their lips a little and my ears perked up t hear,“Wh is she? She really is cute.” My teacher Miss Pratt answered, “I agree; Bernice is quite adrable.”
