The wlly mammth is ne f the mst icnic animals f the prehistric era, yet it remains shruded in mystery. Often depicted as slw, clumsy, and ill-suited t its envirnment, a new wave f research is challenging these lng-held assumptins.
The wlly mammth, a massive herbivre with lng, curved tusks, ramed the icy landscapes f Eurasia and Nrth America during the Ice Age. These clssal creatures std up t 11 feet tall and weighed as much as 6 tns, making them larger than mdern elephants. They subsisted n a diet f grasses, shrubs, and ther vegetatin, using their tusks t dig thrugh snw and ice t reach fd.
Due t the scarcity f well-preserved mammth remains, scientists have had limited pprtunities t study these ancient beasts. Hwever, recent advancements in palentlgy and genetics have allwed researchers t piece tgether a mre accurate picture f their lives. By analyzing ancient DNA and fssilized ftprints, scientists have discvered that wlly mammths were far mre agile and adaptable than previusly thught.
One f the mst significant findings is that wlly mammths had strng, flexible tendns in their legs, which enabled them t mve swiftly acrss the frzen terrain. Fssil evidence als suggests that they lived in cmplex scial grups, similar t mdern elephants, and had highly develped survival strategies t endure the harsh Ice Age cnditins.
Wlly mammths went extinct arund 4,000 years ag, likely due t a cmbinatin f climate change and human hunting. Hwever, their extinctin was nt due t a lack f intelligence r adaptability. In fact, recent studies indicate that they were highly intelligent animals with strng prblem-slving abilities.
The nging research int wlly mammths is part f a brader effrt t understand the eclgy and behavir f extinct species. "We are n the brink f uncvering the true nature f these magnificent creatures," said Dr. Elena Ivanva, a leading palentlgist. "The wlly mammth was nt just a relic f the past, but a highly evlved and resilient animal that thrived fr thusands f years."
As scientists cntinue t unravel the mysteries f the wlly mammth, we are gaining a deeper appreciatin fr this ancient giant and its place in the histry f ur planet.

Hwever, that day, she had packed a laf f freshly baked bread frm the night befre.
As sn as I reached the new lunch table, I tried t hide my lunch bx under my seat. I sat quietly, hping nt t draw attentin t myself when Emily, a new friend, asked where my fd was. "I'm nt really hungry," I replied in a hesitant vice. But Emily had already seen me with my lunch, s she said, "Then, I'll try it!"
I didn't want t be rude, s I reluctantly pulled ut my lunch bx. I braced myself fr their reactins, expecting them t turn up their nses. But t my surprise, Emily tk a small piece f bread and tk a bite. My new friends were amazed at hw delicius it was. They hadn't expected hmemade bread t taste s gd. I felt a wave f pride and gratitude wash ver me.
When I gt hme that afternn, my mm nticed the empty bread cntainer. She hesitated befre asking, "Hw was the fd?" I paused fr a mment, then replied, "It was perfect, Mm. If pssible, can I still have yur hmemade bread fr lunch tmrrw?"

AI technlgy has lng been able t recgnize patterns in music preferences and create persnalized playlists. Nw, a new AI system has taken this a step further by analyzing hw peple listen t music and identifying their unique "listening styles." This advancement in the field f "audimetric" analysis culd revlutinize hw music streaming services tailr playlists t individual users, making them mre persnalized and enjyable. Hwever, there are als cncerns that such systems culd ptentially track users' listening habits in ways that cmprmise privacy.
Music recmmendatin algrithms, such as thse used by Sptify and Apple Music, have been highly effective at suggesting new sngs and artists. But Dr. Emily Carter, a music data scientist at the University f Music and Technlgy, ntes that these algrithms ften use a ne-size-fits-all apprach that desn't capture the nuances f individual listening behavir. T better understand and cater t individual preferences, researchers need t analyze each user's unique listening patterns.
T develp and train their AI, the researchers cllected data frm ver 50 millin listening sessins and fed it int a neural netwrk. They tested the system by seeing hw well it culd distinguish between different users' listening habits. The system was given 100 listening sessins frm each f abut 3,000 knwn users and 100 new sessins frm an unknwn user. The AI lked fr the best match and identified the unknwn user 86% f the time, accrding t a study presented at the Internatinal Cnference n Music Infrmatin Retrieval (ISMIR). "We were quite surprised by the accuracy," says Alex Jhnsn, a dctral student in Carter's lab and the lead authr f the study. A nn-AI methd was nly 28% accurate.
"The wrk is really innvative," says Dr. Sarah Kim, a music researcher at Ggle. "Persnalized music experiences culd transfrm hw we interact with music platfrms."
The researchers are aware f the privacy implicatins f their system, which culd ptentially identify users based n their listening habits. In thery, similar systems culd als analyze ther behavirs, such as the types f pdcasts peple listen t r the timing f their music cnsumptin. ISMIR rganizers fund the study technically impressive but ethically questinable, and accepted it n the cnditin that the researchers detail the privacy risks. Carter says they have decided, fr nw, nt t release the sftware publicly.
12. What advance in AI technlgy is described in the article?
A. It can recgnize different human chess players.
B. It can create persnalized playlists based n unique listening styles.
C. It can identify different peple's handwriting.
D. It can track peple's unacceptable nline behavir.
13. Why is the new AI system cnsidered innvative accrding t Dr. Sarah Kim?
A. It can recgnize patterns in music preferences mre accurately than existing algrithms.
B. It uses a ne-size-fits-all apprach t suggest new sngs.
C. It can analyze the types f pdcasts peple listen t.
D. It can identify users based n their listening habits with high accuracy.
14. What is the main cncern regarding the new AI system described in the article?

Antecedent t the cmmencement f the summer seasn，tw mmentus ccurrences had materialized.The primary ccurrence，withut dubt，was the egress f her father frm their dmestic abde，and the secndary ne was the disintegratin f her amicable bnd with Sarah.Alice was incapable f precisely identifying hw their relatinship had degenerated t such a deplrable state.They had been invlved in a vehement quarrel at schl shrtly subsequent t her parents' public annuncement f their irrevcable decisin t part.
On every ccasin when her friends questined the nn - appearance f her father，wh n lnger served as her escrt t schl each mrning，Alice wuld unfailingly prffer the untruth，“My father is preccupied with business engagements elsewhere.”She discntinued extending invitatins t them fr recreatinal gatherings at her residence and fabricated a plethra f pretexts t evade scial interactin with any ther individuals.“I am ccupied with alternative arrangements，”she wuld cmmunicate t Sarah.
On a particular day，as they were prceeding hmeward frm schl，Sarah accsted Alice in a smewhat irritated intnatin，“Alice，what is the underlying issue？Why are yu refraining frm engaging in dialgue with me？”Alice simulated auditry impairment and persisted in her frward mvement，entertaining n inclinatin t deliberate n the matter with Sarah at that juncture，r with anyne else fr that matter.
“I am speaking with utter earnestness，Alice.My mther has divulged the pertinent details t me，”Sarah further stated.“I am cgnizant f the situatin unflding with yur parents.”This disclsure caused Alice t cme t an abrupt standstill.In reality，their habitatin was in a cmpact cmmunity where cnfidential matters were ntriusly shrt - lived，yet Alice had cherished a feeble aspiratin that the news wuld remain under wraps fr a sufficient duratin t enable her t ascertain the apprpriate mment t brach the subject herself.She was vercme with feelings f mrtificatin and emtinal injury，yearning t reveal the infrmatin t Sarah in accrdance with her wn vlitin.
Cnsumed by a surge f fury，Alice launched a verbal assault.“Hw can yu have the audacity t assert that yu pssess any knwledge！”she vehemently exclaimed.“Yu are an exceedingly despicable friend.I harbr n desire t engage in any frm f verbal exchange with yu ever again！”
