In recent years, twns acrss Italy have been racing t launch plans aimed at attracting new residents (居民) t revive the twns. Frm deserted hmes selling fr a eur, t ready-t-ccupy huses at lw prices, there has been a tendency (趋势) fr cmpetitin.
The picturesque twn f Presicce is the latest t enter the game with a very alluring ffer. Officials say they will pay peple up t 30,000 eurs t buy an empty huse and take up residency. Even better, the huses fr sale as part f the deal are priced arund 25,000 eurs. The cash mtivatin is expected t breathe new life int the deppulating twn, where newbrns are fewer each year.
The histry f Presicce dates back t the Middle Ages, develping quickly during the Renaissance (文艺复兴) as a place knwn fr its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a name as a “twn f green gld” fr green live trees and live il. Its lcatin is extremely gd, surrunded by the nature f the Salent area and clse t beautiful beaches and clear waters f Santa Maria di Leuca. “There are many empty hmes in the histrical center built befre 1991 which we wuld like t see alive again with new residents,” says lcal spkesman Alfred Palese. “It is a pity seeing hw ur ld districts full f histry, wnderful architecture and art are slwly emptying.”
Accrding t Palese, a 2019 merger (合并) with the nearby twn Acquarica t create the larger twn Presicce-Acquarica has prvided them with extra mney t ensure the prject can cntinue fr years t cme. “After the merger as per Italian law, ur wider territry (领土) will be blessed with mre public funds, abut 1,000,000 eurs per year fr several years frward, which we intend t invest t renew the ld district,” says Palese.
The twn hall has already launched ther plans t attract mre residents, including tax benefits t set up new business activities and baby bnuses fr families with kids.

Frm AI-made jkes t Harry Ptter fashin vides, AI can be used t make funny things. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, des it present a danger t cmedy (喜剧) writers in the future? That’s smething perfrmers have been lking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running frm Aug 4 t 28.
Anyne can put n a shw at the Fringe, and this year even rbts were getting in n the act. One f Fringe’s big shws even used a small rbt t cme up with jkes frm audience suggestins, which were then perfrmed by humans. The results culd be very funny, but smetimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part f the pint, explained Pitr Mirwski, the shw’s c-maker.
“We d nt use humans t ‘shw ff’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘t shw’ its limitatins, t shwcase human creativity n the stage,” said Mirwski, accrding t the Guardian.
But ne perfrmer at the Fringe said he’s using AI t make jkes fr him because he’s ut f ideas. Cmedian Peter Bazely’s shw has him playing a supprting rle t “an entirely cmputer-generated (生成的) cmedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chrtle, talked abut tday’s AI cncerns: “In a wrld where artists are wrried that AI culd end up ding their jbs fr them, Bazely is said t be praying this ne will d exactly that.”
The reasns fr cmpanies wanting t use Al are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present t many peple’s jbs are becming mre and mre real, and that’s nt very funny. Frm cncerns in schls and clleges abut students using ChatGPT fr their wrk, t writers and actrs wrrying that AI culd be used t replace them, fears abut the dangers f AI are a ht tpic in the wrld.
Back in March f this year, a letter calling fr a six-mnth stp n advanced AI develpment was signed by ver 1,000 peple wrking with AI technlgies including Eln Musk and ther well-knwn tech leaders, reprted The New Yrk Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a dcument warning that AI culd present an extinctin-level danger and “shuld be a glbal pririty (优先事项) alngside... diseases and nuclear war.”
12. In what way is the Fringe unique this year?
A. The AI-made jkes were very funny.B. It presented dangers t cmedy writers.
C. Sme jkes were created by rbts.D. Harry Ptter fashin vides were shwn.
13. Which f the fllwing is true accrding t Paragraph 4?
A. AI Jesus is an expert in jkes.B. Bazely was psitive abut using AI.
C. Al was used t shw its creativity.D. Chrtle was cncerned abut the use f AI.
14. Why des AI present a danger in the future?
A. Because many peple will use AI t shw ff.
B. Because AI can present diseases and nuclear war.
C. Because well-knwn tech leaders will stp develping AI.
D. Because sme peple will prbably be ut f wrk.
15. What’s the authr’s attitude t the future f the AI develpment?
A. Objective.B. Psitive.C. Unclear.D. Negative.
