AI in Our Work and Life
Artificial Intelligence,or AI,has been applied in a wide range of fields to perform specific tasks
including education,finance,heavy industry,transportation,and so on.
Education
There are a number of companies that create robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology
to computer science,though such tools have not become widespread yet.Advancements in natural
language processing,combined with machine learning,have also enabled automatic grading of
assignments.AI has also led to an explosion in popularity of MOOCs,i.e.Massive Open Online
Courses,which allow students from around the world to take classes online.
Finance
The application of AI in banking can be tracked back to 1987.Banks use Artificial Intelligence
systems to organize operations,maintain bookkeeping,invest in stocks,and manage properties.Also,
systems are being developed,like Arria,to translate complex data into simple language.There are also
wallets,like Wallet Al,which can monitor our habits of consumption and provide ways to improve.
Heavy industry
Robots have become common in many industries and are often given jobs that are considered dangerous to
humans.Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or accidents
due to failure in concentration.
Transportation
Today's cars can have AI-based driver assist features such as self-parking and advanced cruise(
)controls.AI in transportation is expected to provide safe,efficient,and reliable transportation while
minimizing the impact on the environment and communities.
076
Toys and games
Companies like Mattel have been creating AI-enabled toys for kids as young as three.Using
proprietary AI engines and speech recognition tools,they are able to understand conversations,give
intelligent responses and learn quickly.AI has also been applied to video games,for example video game
bots,which are designed to stand in as opponents when humans aren't available.

Section IV Writing-一介绍一位战斗英雄
连句成文
参考范文:
Born in Liaoning Province,Zhao Shangzhi joined the
Communist Party of China in 1925 and then went to study in the
Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou.
After the September 18th Incident,1932,he engaged in the
armed struggle against the Japanese,during which he was promoted
to commander of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army in 1934.
Zhao Shangzhi commanded the army,together with other anti-
Japanese forces to fight continuously.Complaining "A small
Manchukuo,a big Zhao Shangzhi",the Japanese aggressors paid a
huge reward to arrest him.
In February 1942,Zhao Shangzhi,who was only 34 years old,
was secretly injured by the Japanese spies during the battle.After
being captured,the Japanese invaders split his bodies into two parts.
His body was sunk into the Songhua River while his head was sent to
Changchun.
To memorialise him,the city of Zhuhe where he used to fight
against the Japanese was renamed to Shangzhi.
