Scientists train AI to read human thoughts
Scientists have created a new tool that can turn people's thoughts into words.It works by using
an AI programme called GPT-1 to translate brain activity into words.In order to achieve this,
scientists did a lot.
First,scientists got everything ready before the tests.They invited some volunteers.Each
spent sixteen hours listening to stories in a scanner().They imagined the stories as they
heard them,and the scanner recorded their brain activity.GPT-1 made connections between the ideas in the stories and
the recordings of the listeners'brain activity.
Then came the tests.The scientists did them in three different ways.
Test 1
The researchers played a new story.GPT-1 was only given recordings of the volunteers'brain activity.But the words
that GPr-1 predicted()were very similar to the words in the story that they were listening to.The words weren't
exactly the same,but they often carried the same meaning.For example,when a volunteer was listening to a story about a
woman who didn't have a driver's license(),the programme came up with this,"She hasn't even started to learn to
drive yet..”
Test 2
The scientists also carried out the test when volunteers imagined their own stories."It really works at the level of
ideas.The ideas are the same but expressed in different words,"says Alexander Huth,one of the scientists behind the
study.
Test 3
The researchers showed the volunteers silent movies,with no spoken words at all.GPT-I could still figure out(
出)the basic ideas.
After the tests,the scientists say that GPT-1 is the first AI programme to turn what people are thinking into words
without brain surgery().The tool isn't anything that can be easily used today,mainly because of the size and
the cost of the scanner.In the future,they believe,a similar but cheaper tool could help people who have lost the ability
to speak because of an injury or disease.
The scientists say their tool can't be used to "read people's minds"without permission().The tool only works
if the person wants to share their thoughts.
()41.What was the scanner used to do?

)42.What was GPT-1 used to do?

A.Listening.
B.Imagining.
C.Watching.
D.Reading.
)44.Why did scientists do the tests?
A.To show how the tool works.
B.To prove that the tool works well.

To respect your decisions is a simple and powerful quality of a person but it's seldom used.Few people fully respect
all his or her decisions,making decisions without really considering whether those decisions are really needed,whether
they are correct,or even whether they are possible to complete.Imagine how you will feel if you are able to respect your
decisions.You will be determined(坚定的),more creative,more satisfied and so on.
Although many methods could be written about how to respect your decisions and carry them out,the simplest way to
start is by deciding to decide and deciding to respect the decisions you make!Yes,it's as simple as that.
Before making a decision,it is a good idea to notice how you feel about what you are considering.Do you feel easy
and relaxed about what you are thinking to do?If you decide to do something that doesn't agree with your inner feelings,
you will certainly find it difficult to complete the task that you've decided to do.In fact you may not even start it!By
making sure that the decision agrees with your values first,you should have no difficulties carrying it out.
Respecting your decisions is respecting yourself.If you seldom do what you say,then other people will not trust you,
nor will you trust yourself.Very quickly these make you tired,slow and lazy.At this point nearly everything seems like
hard work.
To respect your decisions is a great quality to have.By giving importance to your time and energy,you will be able
to make wise decisions.You will be known as someone who does what they say they will do.You will be highly respected.
You will have a powerful and clear mind.You'll have one of the greatest attributes()needed for success.
71.What will you be like if you respect your own decisions according to Paragraph 1?
72.What should you do before making a decision according to Paragraph 3?
73.Why do others no longer trust you according to Paragraph 4?
74.How could you make wise decisions according to the last paragraph?
75.Give a proper title to the passage.
