I thought it could be fun to talk to my daughter about female scientists. I discovered there was a scientist, Ada Lovelace. She had a love for mathematics and a belief that computers can be used to finish many tasks humans do. I told Gabi about Lovelace’s contributions to the field and the impact she had on me as a scientist and mathematician. Today, computers are such an essential part of our daily lives; we can’t imagine living without them. The idea that computers can go beyond just calculating numbers and perform any abstract operation is the phenomenon of our technology. However, not everyone knows that this idea dates back to long before the first programmable, general-purpose digital computer was introduced in the 1940s. This concept goes back to the 1800s, thanks to Lovelace, a pioneer in mathematics and computing, who was recognised as the first computer programmer. Lovelace also held her belief that while computers had endless potential, they could not be truly intelligent. She argued that AI can’t create anything original without learning from human input. This is still true today as AI becomes increasingly common in our everyday lives. While ChatGPT and similar AI tools may seem to have a “mind” of their own, those tools are simply parroting human-generated content on the Internet. Lovelace was an incredibly intelligent woman, who contributed so much to mathematics and computer science. Her enthusiasm and determination led her to look further and search deeper. I hope Lovelace will inspire my daughter and other young girls to consider following in her footsteps. 1. What can be learned about Gabi? A. She has great admiration for Lovelace. B. She has a dream of becoming a scientist. C. She shows strong curiosity about the world. D. She believes computers are as smart as humans. 2. What does the author stress in paragraph 2? A. The invention of computers. B. Lovelace’s contribution to science. C. The development of technology. D. Lovelace’s education background. 3. What does the underlined word “parroting” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Repeating. B. Creating. C. Appreciating. D. Imagining. 4. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To show her interest in science. B. To explain the significance of computers. C. To provide an example for girls to follow. D. To demonstrate the disadvantage of computers.
