I enjyed this trip fr the pprtunity t witness the Cranes (鹤) returning frm Wd Buffal Natinal Park, sme with their yung f the year. I wndered, at the changing skies f Saskatchewan, ften the vivid ranges and pinks f a sunset made me pause, but it was the cluds f feathers as ducks, geese, and cranes lifted ff fields and lakes in numbers s numerus, they blcked ut the sky at times, that blew my mind.
The desire t travel and explre is strng within the human cnditin. We might think we must jurney “away” t enjy a hliday, and smetimes we d. But ther times, a simpler explratin, digging deeply int landscapes and cultures that we think we knw, reveals the best sights.
I grew up in Saskachewan when cranes were fighting back frm extinctin, and I wasn’t a birdwatcher. But, returning with Eagle-Eye Turs as a bird-lving RCGS Travel Ambassadr, I wndered at the cnservatin successes that allwed us t find these rare birds reliably.
My favurite memry frm the trip is f an ld farmer driving a large truck wh slwed dwn fr ur grup, standing in the middle f a rad, excitedly watching a flck f cranes. Rather than sclding us fr blcking traffic, he invited us int his backyard fr a better view! He explained hw he’s been prviding quiet reserves fr many years as the birds stp t rest and feed befre flying suth t Texas. It’s mments like this that make the travel special, and cmpanies like Eagle-Eye Turs craft itineraries (行程) that allw these unexpected discveries.
I enjyed sharing these experiences with ther nature lvers n the Ryal Canadian Gegraphical Sciety branded trip and lk frward t ding it again in Octber 2024.

A. A trip f relaxatin. B. A trip f explratin.

She remembers the cnversatin with her bss Kate Lewis that changed her perspective n ver-cmmitting. “I had just started at Marie Claire as the digital directr, and she said, ‘I wrry yu’re ging t burn ut because yu’re saying yes t everything and yu are acting in such an aggressive way, and yu need t take a step back and priritize.’ And that really changed my life.

Laughter cmes in many frms, frm a plite and quiet laugh t a great hearty laugh. Scientists are nw develping an AI system t recreate different laughs in prper scial cntexts. The team behind the laughing rbt Erica said that the system culd imprve natural cnversatins between peple and an AI rbt. “We think that ne f the imprtant functins f cnversatinal AI is empathy(共情),” said Dr Kji Inue, the lead authr f the research. “S we decided that ne way a rbt can empathize with its users is t share their laughter.”
The team have set ut t teach their AI system the art f cnversatinal laughter. They gathered training data frm mre than 80 daily dialgues between male subjects and the rbt that was initially perated by fur actresses remtely. The dialgue data was gruped int scial laughs (where plite r embarrassed laughter isn’t invlved) and laughter f jy. Based n the audi files, the algrithm(算法) learned the basic characteristics f scial laughs, which tend t be sfter, and merry laughs, with the aim f mirrring these inapprpriate situatins.
“Our biggest bstructr in the wrk was identifying the actual cases f shared laughter because as yu knw, mst laughter is actually nt shared at all,” said Inue. “We had t carefully decide exactly which laughs we culd use fr ur analysis and we culdn’t just assume that any laugh can be respnded t. It was really nt easy wrk.” The team said laughter culd help create rbts with their wn distinct character althugh it culd take mre than 20 years befre it wuld be pssible t have a casual chat with a rbt like we wuld with a friend.
“One f the things we’d keep in mind is that a laughing rbt r algrithm will never be able t understand yu r the meaning f laughter,” pints ut Prf. Sandra Wachter f the Oxfrd Internet Institute. “But with their develpment, they might get very gd at tricking yu int believing they understand what’s ging n.”
17. Why did Inue’s team develp the AI system?
A. T better understand human empathy.
B. T prmte the scial skills f rbts.
C. T explre the differences between laughs.
D. T assist rbts in identifying peple’s mds.
18. What can rbt Erica prbably d at present?
A. Repeat the details f the 80 dialgues.
B. Distinguish peple by hearing their laughs.
C. Recreate a scene played by the fur actresses.
D. Master the features f laughs prvided by data.
19. What des the underlined wrd “bstructr” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ptential. B. Barrier. C. Alternative. D. Mistake.
20. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Are AI systems ging beynd human ability?
B. Can cnversatinal AI really understand us?
C. Laughing rbts are rund the crner.
D. Rbts becme laughing masters.

My heart sank when I received the news—n salary again. Hw wuld I manage the increasing bills, the grceries and my children’s needs? The future seemed hpeless. With a heavy heart, I hurried t pick up my tw children, my mind racing wildly.

The wallet was large, and when I pened it, my eyes widened in disbelief at the sight f a large amunt f cash inside it. I hesitated fr a mment, trn between the immediate relief that this mney prmised and the mrality (道德) f keeping it.

I even regretted my decisin, but my cnscience (良知) did nt allw me t g back n my chice. I had tld the vice where I lived and went t get my children.
Shrtly after we arrived hme, a large black car suddenly pulled up t ur huse. The driver gt ut and kncked n the dr. When I pened it, the driver tld me that the wner f the wallet wanted me t persnally hand ver his wallet.

I enjyed this trip fr the pprtunity t witness the Cranes (鹤) returning frm Wd Buffal Natinal Park, sme with their yung f the year. I wndered, at the changing skies f Saskatchewan, ften the vivid ranges and pinks f a sunset made me pause, but it was the cluds f feathers as ducks, geese, and cranes lifted ff fields and lakes in numbers s numerus, they blcked ut the sky at times, that blew my mind.
The desire t travel and explre is strng within the human cnditin. We might think we must jurney “away” t enjy a hliday, and smetimes we d. But ther times, a simpler explratin, digging deeply int landscapes and cultures that we think we knw, reveals the best sights.
I grew up in Saskachewan when cranes were fighting back frm extinctin, and I wasn’t a birdwatcher. But, returning with Eagle-Eye Turs as a bird-lving RCGS Travel Ambassadr, I wndered at the cnservatin successes that allwed us t find these rare birds reliably.
My favurite memry frm the trip is f an ld farmer driving a large truck wh slwed dwn fr ur grup, standing in the middle f a rad, excitedly watching a flck f cranes. Rather than sclding us fr blcking traffic, he invited us int his backyard fr a better view!

Laughter cmes in many frms, frm a plite and quiet laugh t a great hearty laugh. Scientists are nw develping an AI system t recreate different laughs in prper scial cntexts. The team behind the laughing rbt Erica said that the system culd imprve natural cnversatins between peple and an AI rbt. “We think that ne f the imprtant functins f cnversatinal AI is empathy(共情),” said Dr Kji Inue, the lead authr f the research. “S we decided that ne way a rbt can empathize with its users is t share their laughter.”
The team have set ut t teach their AI system the art f cnversatinal laughter. They gathered training data frm mre than 80 daily dialgues between male subjects and the rbt that was initially perated by fur actresses remtely. The dialgue data was gruped int scial laughs (where plite r embarrassed laughter isn’t invlved) and laughter f jy. Based n the audi files, the algrithm(算法) learned the basic characteristics f scial laughs, which tend t be sfter, and merry laughs, with the aim f mirrring these inapprpriate situatins.
“Our biggest bstructr in the wrk was identifying the actual cases f shared laughter because as yu knw, mst laughter is actually nt shared at all,” said Inue. “We had t carefully decide exactly which laughs we culd use fr ur analysis and we culdn’t just assume that any laugh can be respnded t. It was really nt easy wrk.” The team said laughter culd help create rbts with their wn distinct character althugh it culd take mre than 20 years befre it wuld be pssible t have a casual chat with a rbt like we wuld with a friend.
“One f the things we’d keep in mind is that a laughing rbt r algrithm will never be able t understand yu r the meaning f laughter,” pints ut Prf. Sandra Wachter f the Oxfrd Internet Institute. “But with their develpment, they might get very gd at tricking yu int believing they understand what’s ging n.”
17. Why did Inue’s team develp the AI system?
A. T better understand human empathy.
B. T prmte the scial skills f rbts.
C. T explre the differences between laughs.
D. T assist rbts in identifying peple’s mds.
18. What can rbt Erica prbably d at present?
A. Repeat the details f the 80 dialgues.
B. Distinguish peple by hearing their laughs.
C. Recreate a scene played by the fur actresses.
D. Master the features f laughs prvided by data.
19. What des the underlined wrd “bstructr” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ptential. B. Barrier. C. Alternative. D. Mistake.
20. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Are AI systems ging beynd human ability?
B. Can cnversatinal AI really understand us?
C. Laughing rbts are rund the crner.
D. Rbts becme laughing masters.
