User: Saying hello to you. George: Are you a monkey? User: Do you think monkeys can type? George: Sure. User: Are you a monkey? George: Do you think monkeys can type? User: You told me they could. This is a conversation between a human user and a puter. The puter was made to be as human as possible. It was taught to talk to humans. It has also learnt from what people have said to it. This has helped it bee more human. What makes George talk is called Jabberwacky. It won the Loebner Prize not long ago. The prize is a contest to find the most realistic artificial intelligence （現(xiàn)實(shí)的人工智能）. In 2006, scientists talked to the puter. They typed questions to it, and it answered. Jabberwacky first appeared in 1982. It has been gelling better every year since then. The list of things that the puter says to a human is getting bigger and bigger. It means the puter has more things to say when you talk to it. It is hoped that a puter like this will do our jobs in call centres. When Jabberwacky is more realistic, this will be possible.（1）From the passage, what can we know about George? A.He39。s a puter.B.He39。s a monkey.C.He39。s an engineer.D.He39。s a scientist.（2）Why does the passage start with a conversation?

For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans for two weeks, the mice were either
