This AI can do math problems, write computer codes, and answer questions like the best AIs in the world. But it costs much less money to build. The team used only $5.58 million (much cheaper than other AIs) and 2,048 computer parts for two months. This shows that smart ideas are better than just spending a lot of money. DeepSeek-R1 is free to use, and people can even change it. On its first day, more than 19,000 computer experts around the world started using it. A German scientist said, “Using R1 experiments costs only $10, but other AIs need $300.” Even a top scientist from Meta (a big U. S. company) said, “This free AI could change the world.” U.S. companies are now worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is becoming a leader in AI very fast. A report in Nature (a famous science magazine) called R1 a “big success”, showing that good ideas are more important than expensive tools. A DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to help everyone, not just rich people.” With R1, China shows that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money. 6．When was the new AI DeepSeek-R1 developed? 7．What can DeepSeek-R1 do? 8．How much did the team spend on building DeepSeek-R1 and how long did it take? 9．Why are U.S. companies worried about DeepSeek-R1? 10．Do you think AIs will change the way people work? Why or why not? 阅读下面短文, 简略回答问题。 Do you remember Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics?

They move around by themselves, picking up dirt and dust, so we don’t have to do all the work. Let’s take a look at the amazing robot vacuum. Why Robot Vacuums Are Great The best thing about robot vacuums is how much time they save us. Regular vacuums can be tiring and time-consuming, but robot vacuums clean on their own. We can set a time for them to start, and while they work, we can relax or focus on other tasks. Cleaning Without Noise Another advantage is that they work quietly. Unlike regular vacuums, which need someone to hold and operate them, robot vacuums can clean while we’re out. By the time we return, the floors are clean, and there’s no noise to disturb us. Smart Technology Robot vacuums are very smart! They have special sensors (传感器) that help them move around the house, avoid furniture, and know when to stop. Some models can even connect to phones, allowing us to control them with a tap. Things to Think About However, robot vacuums have limitations (局限). They might not work well on thick carpets or pick up large pieces of dirt. Too much clutter (杂物) can also cause them to get stuck. Additionally, some models can be expensive, so it’s important to think carefully before buying one. 26．What is the best thing about robot vacuums? 27．To avoid noise, when can robot vacuums get to work? 28．What helps robot vacuums avoid furniture? 29．What are the limitations of robot vacuums mentioned in the text?
