An artificial intelligence that navigates(
导航
) its environment much like mammals
could help solve a mystery about our own internal GPS.
Equipped with virtual versions of specialized brain nerve cells called grid cells, the AI
could easily solve and plan new routes through virtual mazes. That performance, described
online May 9 in Nature, suggests the grid cells in animal brains play a critical role in path
planning.
“This is a big step forward in understanding our own navigational neural circuitry(
电路
),”
says Ingmar Kanitscheider, a computational neuroscientist at. The University of Texas at
Austin not involved in the work. The discovery that rats track their location with the help of
grid cells earned a Norwegian research team the 2014 Nobel Prize in physiology to medicine.
Neuroscientists suspected these cells, which have also been found in humans, might help not
only give mammals an internal. coordinate(
协同
) system, but also plan direct paths between
points.
To test that idea, neuroscientist Caswell Barry at University College London, along with
colleagues at Google DeepMind, created an AI that contained virtual nerve cells, or neurons,
whose activity resembled that of real grid cells. The researchers trained this AI to navigate
virtual mazes by giving the system reward signals when it reached its destination.
The AI bested a human expert player at solving the virtual mazes, and proved savvier than
other artificial neural networks in planning ways through mazes larger than those traversed
during its training. When a door opened to provide a shortcut through the maze, the new AI
took the more direct route. By contrast, AI systems without artificial grid cells ignored the open
door and took long the way around.
These findings support the idea that grid cells do more than help mammals orient
themselves in time and space; they also help animals plan the most straightforward direction to
destinations. AI also appears to be “a very powerful tool
theories, Barry says. He and his colleagues suggest that virtual experiments on artificial neural
networks that imitate different regions of the brain may eventually replace some animal testing.
But there are limitations to using AI to study the brain. Because the system is meant to
learn on its own, researchers can't tell why the system made a specific decision, says
neuroscientist Francesco Savelli at Johns Hopkings University, whose commentary also
appears online May 9 in Nature.

Fred Rogers was a curious man, six feet tall and without pretense (
虚伪
). He liked to
pray, to play the piano, to swim, and to write, and he somehow lived in a different world than I
did. We became friends for some 20 years, and I made lifelong friends with his wife, Joanne. I
remember thinking that it seemed as if Fred had access to another realm (
领域
) like the way
pigeons have some special magnetic compass that helps them find home.
Fred died in 2003, somewhat quickly, of stomach cancer. He was 74. “Just don′t make
Fred into a saint (
圣人
),” That has become Joanne's refrain (
叠句
).91 now, still full of energy,
she lives alone in the same roomy apartment, in the university section of Pittsburgh, that she
and Fred moved into after they raised their two boys. Throughout her 50-year marriage to Fred,
she wasn't the type to hang out on the set or attend production meetings. That was Fred′s thing.
He had his career, and she had hers as a concert pianist. For decades she toured the country with
her college classmate, Jeannine Morrison, as a piano duo; they didn′t retire the performance
until 2008.
“If you make him out to be a saint, people might not know how hard he worked,” Joanne
said. Disciplined, focused; a perfectionist - an artist. That was the Fred she and the cast and
crew knew. “I think people think of Fred as a. child-development expert,” David Newell, the
actor who played Mr. “Speedy Delivery” MeFeely, told me recently. “As a moral example
maybe. But as an artist? I don't think they think of that.” that was the Fred I came to know.
Creating, the creative impulse (
冲动
),and the creative process were our common interests. He
wrote or co-wrote all the scripts for the program - all 33 years of it. He wrote the melodies. He
wrote the lyrics. He structured a week of programming around a single theme, many of them
difficult topics, like war, divorce, or death.
I don′t know that he cared whether people saw him as an artist. He seemed more intent (
急
切的
) that people not see him at all. The focus was always on you. Or children. Or the tiny
things. It was hard to see Fred.
I like you just the way you are. One day he told me where that core message came from.
His grandfather, Fred Brooks MeFeely, who like the rest of the Rogers family lived in Latrobe,
Pennsylvania, about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh. “He was a character,” he said. “Oh, a lot of me
came from him.”
His grandfather represented a life of risk and adventure, the very things Fred's boyhood
lacked. He was a lonely kid, an only child until he was 11, when his sister came. He was bullied.
Here comes Fat Freddie! He was sickly. He had asthma. He was not allowed to play outside by
himself. He spent much of his childhood in his bedroom.
He had music, and he had puppets to keep himself amused. He didn′t need much. He was
expected to fill his father′s shoes, become his business partner at the brick company. “My dad
was pretty much Mr. Latrobe, he told me.” He worked hard to accomplish all that he did, and
I've always felt that that was way beyond me. And yet I'm so grateful that he didn’t push me to
do the kinds of things that he did or to become a miniature (
缩小的
) version of him. It certainly
would have been miniature.
Fred wanted to be like his grandfather. “He taught me all kinds of really neat stuff!” he
told me. “I remember one day my grandmother and my mother were telling me to get down, or
not to climb, and my grandfather said: ‘Let the kid climb on the wall! He’s got to learn to do
things for himself!’ I heard that. I will never forget that. What a support that was. He had a lot of
stone walls on his place.” I think it was when I was leaving one time to go home after our time
together, Fred told me, “that my grandfather said to me: ‘You know, you made this day a really
special day. Just by being yourself. There′s only one person in the world like you. And I happen
to like you just the way you are.”’

A
．
Fred had many lifelong friends.
C
．
Fred could always find way home.
B
．
Fred lived in a strange world.
D
．
Fred was an amazing person.
43
．

．
To show the great success the couple achieved.
B
．
To underline the great pains Fred spared At work.
C
．
To remind people of the contributions she made.
D
．
To keep the weaknesses of Fred′s character hidden.
44

C
．
Focus more on difficult topics.
B
．
Act as the man behind the curtain.

四、七选五
Don't judge a book by its cover. We have heard that advice over and over again. And
it makes sense. Why should we judge someone who is overweight simply by how they look? It
has nothing to do with them as a person, and it says nothing about all they have achieved in life.
46
．
We should not judge them as healthy simply because they are thin.
We care so much about weight that we think those who succeed in keeping a
must be healthy.
Many studies have shown that being overweight increases the risk of diabetes, heart
disease, and even death. 47
．
Some studies just look at pounds. Some use body mass
index(BMI) which includes both height and weight measurements. But neither one says
B
．
The importance of a good wife.
D
．
The achievements of Fred and his wife.
anything about overall health for sure.
In some studies, a person's fitness has been shown to be more important than overall
weight.
That means those at
than fitter and heavier people.48
．

If you are thin and want to know if your health may be at risk, whole body MRIs (
磁共振
成像）
can tell you if you are a TOFI (thin on the outside, fat on the inside). This is thought to
increase your health risk even if you have a perfect body weight. 49
．
Rather, creating and
keeping healthy lifestyle habits should be the goal.
Start now and you will be on your way to improving your overall health. 50
．
But even if
it doesn't, rest assured you are still improving your health and your life.
A
．
The same holds true for thin people.
B
．
Weight loss will usually naturally follow.
C
．
The article mainly talks about people in Australia.
D
．
So weight loss should not be what we always dream of.
many times do you say,
the problem lies with how we can know we are overweight.
there is no such thing as healthy weight, only healthy lifestyles.

Parents everywhere praise their kids. Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising
Happy and Confident Kids, says,
when parents tended to be more strict.
building their children's confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise
can backfire and, when given in a way that's insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or
take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents' praise has put them.
Still, don't go too far in the other direction. Not giving enough praise can be just as
damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that you don't care
and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.
So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more
important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you
can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward. “We should
especially recognize our children's efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal,”
says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What
Really Matters. “One thing to remember is that it's the process not the end product that
matters.”
Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he's out there every day
and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses.
Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has
worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise
should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate(
相称的
)to the amount of effort
your child has put into it.
