Yu may nt specialize in the histry f the Grye Dynasty (918-1392，高丽王朝), but thrugh Suth Krean dramas, yu cme t understand its cuisine like kimchi(韩国泡菜),” said Yang.

The AI tl learned t cnnect certain brain activity with wrds they heard. After that, each persn was asked t think f a stry, and the AI tl managed t pick up these thughts as they happened.
The results had abut a 50% accuracy rate（准确率）, althugh the AI fund it hard t wrk ut the meaning f prnuns, such as he r she, her r him. Fr example, it turned “I dn’t have my driver’s license yet” int “She has nt even started t learn t drive yet.” It culd usually understand the meaning f what smene was thinking rather than the exact wrds. The AI was persnalized, s when it had learnt frm ne persn but it was tested n anther, it culdn’t understand their thughts.
The scientists, wh have been wrking n the technlgy fr 15 years, say they understand the risks f it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang tld a newspaper, “We want t make sure peple nly use these types f technlgies when they want t, and that it helps them.” The scientists hpe it will help peple with certain medical cnditins, wh are still awake but have lst the ability t speak, t cmmunicate nce again.
61. What des the underlined wrd “It” in paragraph 1 refer t（指代）?

C. T ffer sme pinins abut the experiment.
D. T list the difficulties with the experiment.
63. What des the example in paragraph 3 shw?
A. The AI is much cleverer than peple.
B. The AI didn’t start the wrk as it was rdered.
C. The AI culdn’t understand the exact wrds f what peple thught.
D. The AI will be well develped accrding t peple’s special needs.
64. What can we learn frm the text?
A. It is nt difficult t take AI under cntrl.
B. AI will nt be used in a prper way in the future.
C. AI is s wise that it can treat peple with medical prblems.
D. It’s expected that AI will help thse speechless exchange ideas.

The Dyslexia Week

Tday, arund six millin peple in the UK have sme degree f dyslexia. Yet many peple dn’t understand the cnditin r even realize they have it.

What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is nt an illness r a disease. It is a cnditin that affects（影响）the way a persn learns. It desn’t mean that persn isn’t intelligent, it just means that their brain wrks a little differently. Just like peple have different skin, hair and eye clurs, the way ur brains see the wrld and handle infrmatin can be different t. This is called neurdiversity.
Hw des dyslexia affect peple?
Dyslexia affects peple differently. Each persn has a unique experience. Sme peple may have prblems with reading, writing and spelling. Fr example, a persn with dyslexia might write the wrd “pests” as “pets” because their brain cnfuses the rder f letters. They might find it difficult t match letters t sunds r t remember hw t spell wrds.
Hw might the cnditin affect daily life?
Dyslexia isn’t just abut reading, spelling and writing. It can affect cncentratin （专注力）, crdinatin（协调性）and memry, which can make everyday life tricky. Dyslexic peple might find it hard t cpy dwn lts f ntes frm a bard r t rganize written wrk. They may find it hard t fllw lts f instructins r rules when playing a game. Hwever, dyslexia can be discvered by special tests. This is the imprtant first step fr peple getting the help and supprt they might need.
What are the psitives f having dyslexia?
Peple diagnsed（诊断）with dyslexia might wrry hw thers see them, but thinking differently can be a superpwer. Many peple with dyslexia ften have strng lgical skills and great imaginative ideas. They can be gd at sptting patterns and slving prblems. They can be super creative t-there are many authrs, actrs and inventrs frm every crner f the wrld wh thrive with the cnditin. Dyslexia is nthing t be afraid r ashamed f. It’s part f yu.
