【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 。 Many people thought a puter wasn39。t supposed to be able to beat a top master at the ancient Chinese game, Weiqi, for at least another 10 years. But AlphaGo, an artificially intelligent system （人工智能系統(tǒng)） designed by Google, made it. It easily beat Lee Sedol last year, one of the best players in the world. It challenged the world39。s top players to show how much progress it had made over the past few years. In late May, 2017, AlphaGo appeared in China and played against 19yearold Ke Jie in Wuzhen, China. He is No. 1 player now in the world. However, the result wasn39。t out of people39。s expectation. He lost the match. Though Ke Jie tried his best and he once saw the victory just a step away, he lost his best chance when he became excited. At the press conference （新聞發(fā)布會） after the match, Ke Jie was interviewed by the reporters. He said he had realized how powerful AlphaGo was, and it was getting perfect. When a Chinese reporter asked him in English, the reporter spoke so fast that the interpreter （口譯員） couldn39。t catch him. Ke Jie got kind of angry and told him that it was unnecessary for two Chinese to speak in English. The reporter apologized to him and offered to ask him for a coffee.

Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（縫被子）.I silently sat beside her. Mom, is there love between you and Dad?
