, and that39。s pretty helpful in this crazy world. I have always believed in ending the day on a positive note by writing a word or two in a gratitude journal and saying something sweet to my wife about the day we shared. Now, I have a new morning habit. It hasn39。t changed my routine one bit, but it has changed the way I look at the world. Creating a new habit isn39。t about perfection – it39。s about getting what you want by creating a change in your behavior and thinking. So now, while I39。m making my coffee in the morning, I39。m also appreciating what I have. It39。s quick, fulfilling, and a much better way to start my day than looking at my phone or puter. And because of this, my attitude is better, as I39。ve already begun my morning on a positive note rather than a problematic one. The idea here is that if you can appreciate your life, it actually changes the way you feel about it. Appreciation will give you more energy to live the way you would like to live. As a means of improving our mood, it39。s highly underrated (被低估的). The easy task of appreciating what we have simply makes life better.(1)How did the author feel about seeing things for himself after he started the lifeappreciation course?

AlphaGo, DeepMind39。s Goplaying AI, just defeated the best Goplaying human, Lee Sedol. But as we drink to its success, we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future. The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that in order to win against a player like Lee. AlphaGo was designed to adopt a human—like style of gameplay by using a relatively recent developmentdeep learning. Deep learning uses large data sets, machine learning algorithms (計算程序) and deep neural networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks. Rather than programming plex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves. Then, AlphaGo played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time. The results speak for themselves. Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss, Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made. Demis Hassabis, one of DeepMind39。s founders, echoed this ment:We39。re very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves. Unpredictability and surprises are—or can be—a good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well, perhaps better than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with AlphaGo. However, unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creation39。s behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design. And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go, it raises urgent questions elsewhere. How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say should corporations, governments, experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions, and many others like them, have emerged in response, but remain unanswered. They require human, not human like, solutions. So as we drink to the milestone in AI, let39。s also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.(1)What contributes most to the unconventional move of AlphaGo in the game? capability of selfimprovement. constant input of large data sets. installation of deep neutral networks. knowledge of Go rules and strategies.(2)A potential danger of Al is _____. loss of human control friendly relationship fierce p
