A rbt navigates thrugh the strawberries. detecting ripe nes, picking withut bruising and placing them in its basket. It sunds futuristic but it pssible nw thanks t Rubin, the picking rbt fr strawberries. This piece f Belgian innvatin is nt nly un answer t the labr shrtage in the agricultural industry, but als allws grwers t Increase the quality f its prduce - which in the end benefits the cnsumer.
Demgraphic（人口结构的）and sci-ecnmic numbers shw that the labr shrtage in the agricultural industry is a fact.

"The cnsumer will als ntice the difference, as strawberries will be fresher and shw less bruising.”
Intrducing rbts in an industry where almst everything gets dne by hand is mre f a revlutin than an evlutin.

In 2014 a team f Belgian engineers started the develpment f the rbt. In the meanwhile, Octinin wasn't the nly cmpany presenting a cncept. Prduct Manager Laura Guillaume says it's nt a surprise that the cmpany frm Leuven is the first t actually present a cmmercial prduct: “by develping the rbt frm the beginning, we are able t make it practical in greenhuses r tunnels.” Octinin plans n launching harvesting rbts fr ther crps in the upcming years.

“Yu can use me as a last resrt（选择），and if nbdy else vlunteers, then I will d it." This was an actual reply frm a parent after I put ut a request fr vlunteers fr my kids' lacrsse（长曲棍 球）club.
I guess that there's prbably sme demanding wrk schedule, r scial anxiety arund stepping up t help fr an unknwn sprt. She may just need a little persuading. S I try again and tug at the heartstrings mentin the single parent with fur kids running the shw and I talk abut the dad caching a team that his kids aren't even n... At this pint the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I'll d it."
I'm secretly relieved because I knw there's real pwer in sharing vlunteer respnsibilities amng many. The unwilling parent rganizes the meal schedule, sends ut emails, and cllects mney fr end — f — seasn gifts. Smewhere alng the way, the same parent ends up becming an invaluable member f the team. The cach is able t fcus n the kids while the ther parents are relieved t be ff the hk fr anther seasn. Handing ut sliced ranges t bldthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching yur wn kid scre a gal
Still, mst f us vlunteers breathe a sigh f relief when the seasn cmes t a clse. That relief is cupled with a deep understanding f why the same peple keep cming back fr mre: Cnnecting t the cmmunity as yu freely give yur time, mney, skills, r services prvides a real jy. Vlunteering just feels s gd.
In that sense, I'm pretty sure vlunteering is mre f a selfish act than I'd freely like t admit Hwever, if thers benefit in the prcess, and I get sme reward t, des it really matter where my mtivatin lies?
28.What can we infer abut the parent frm her reply in paragraph 1?
A. She knws little abut the club.B. She isn't gd at sprts.
C. She just desn't want t vlunteer.D. She's unable t meet her schedule,
29. What des the underlined phrase "tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Encurage team wrk.B. Appeal t feelings.
C. Prmte gd deeds.D. Prvide advice.
30. What can we learn abut the parent frm paragraph 3?
A. She gets interested in lacrsse.B. She is prud f her kids.
C, She'll wrt fr anther seasn.D. She becmes a gd helper.
31 Why des the authr like ding vlunteer wrk?
A, It 0ves her a sense f duty.B. It makes her very happy.

Elizabeth Spelke, a cgnitive (认知的) psychlgist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the wrld's mst cmplex learning system-the mind f a baby. Babies might seem like n match fr artificial intelligence (AI). They are terrible at labeling images, hpeless at mining text, and awful at vide games. Then again, babies can d things beynd the reach f any AI. By just a few mnths ld, they’ve begun t grasp the fundatins f language, such as grammar. They’ve started t understand hw t adapt t unfamiliar situatins.
Yet even experts like Spelke dn’t understand precisely hw babies — r adults, fr that matter — learn. That gap pints t a puzzle at the heart f mdern artificial intelligence: We're nt sure what t aim fr.
Cnsider ne f the mst impressive examples f AI, Alpha Zer, a prgramme that plays bard games with superhuman skill. After playing thusands f games against itself at a super speed, and learning frm winning psitins, Alpha Zer independently discvered several famus chess strategies and even invented new nes. It certainly seems like a machine eclipsing human cgnitive abilities. But Alpha Zer needs t play millins mre games than a persn during practice t learn a game. Mst imprtantly, it cannt take what it has learned frm the game and apply it t anther area.
T sme AI experts, that calls fr a new apprach. In a Nvember research paper, Francis Chllet, a well-knwn AI engineer, argued that it’s misguided t measure machine intelligence just accrding t its skills at specific tasks. “Humans dn’t start ut with skills; they start ut with a brad ability t acquire new skills,” he says. “What a strng human chess player is demnstrating is nt nly the ability t play chess, but the ptential t fulfill any task f a similar difficulty.” Chllet psed a set f prblems, each f which requires an AI prgramme t arrange clred squares n a grid (格栅) based n just a few prir examples. It’s nt hard fr a persn. But mdern machine-learning prgrammes-trained n huge amunts f data — cannt learn frm s few examples.
Jsh Tenenbaum, a prfessr in MIT's Center fr Brains, Minds & Machines, wrks clsely with Spelke and uses insights frm cgnitive science as inspiratin fr his prgrammes. He says much f mdern AI misses the bigger picture, cmparing it t a cartn abut a tw-dimensinal wrld ppulated by simple gemetrical (几何形的) peple. AI prgrammes will need t learn in new ways — fr example, by drawing causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. “At sme pint — yu knw, if yu’re intelligent — yu realize maybe there's smething else ut there,” he says.
32. Cmpared t an advanced AI prgramme, a baby might be better at _______________.
A. labeling imagesB. identifying lcatins
C. playing gamesD. making adjustments
32. What des the underlined wrd “eclipsing” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Stimulating.B. Measuring.C. Beating.D. Limiting.
34. Bth Francis Chllet and Jsh Tenenbaum ma） agree that .
A. Al is gd at finding similar patternsB. AI shuld gain abilities with less training
C. Al lacks the ability f generalizing a skillD. AI will match humans in cgnitive ability
35. Which wuld be the best title fr this passage?
A. What is exactly intelligence?B. Why is mdem AI advanced?
C. Where is human intelligence ging?D. Hw d humans tackle the challenge f Al?
