Have you heard the latest{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(新闻)? Scientists showed the first {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(有价值的)photo of the black hole to the public, which{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(带领)us to know more about the universe. The black hole is in a distant galaxy which is very far away from the{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(地球). Even light needs to travel for 55 million years to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(到达) it. Actually, Albert Einstein predicted the so-called black hole more than a hundred years ago! I think he is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(聪明的) scientist in the human history. And now I am so {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(感兴趣的) in the magic universe. I {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(期待) to watch the planets with my {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(自己的) eyes.

    By the way, do you know what I felt when I first saw the photo of the black hole? I just couldn't help {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(发笑) because it looks like a sweet and round donut!

    Africa is the second largest continent (洲) in the world. To its {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (东南) lies the Indian Ocean, and toward the west is the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the continent with the world's second largest population (more than 1 billion) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (在……后面) Asia.

    The continent is home to the world's tallest animal, giraffes. People can also find crocodiles, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (大象), zebras and hippos there. Africa is great to visit. About 60 percent of Africa is made up of drylands and deserts. The most famous one is the Sahara, the largest hot desert in the world. Though it is in the tropics, it is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (覆盖) with ice and snow year-round. The famous East Africa's Great Rift Valley goes through the land of Africa. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (作为) the longest rift on Earth, it is easy to see from the space.

    The continent is famous for its {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (数百) of ethnic groups. The three largest ethnic groups are the Hausa, lgbo and Yoruba. They are all in west Africa. West Africa is also rich in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (自然的) resources like cocoa, diamonds and coffee. Cote d'lvoire is the world's biggest producer of cocoa.

    Although many places in Africa are poor, this is not the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (整个的) picture. South Africa is the richest country in Africa. Some parts of the country are wealthy. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (现代的) and well-developed roads are common everywhere. You can also spend a day in a large shopping mall or {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (品尝) delicious seafood in a restaurant.

    What is it that makes us different from machines? We have created AI（人工智能）programs that can do many of the same things we can. There are software（软件） programs that can play {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（国际象棋）, drive cars and solve difficult math problems.

    But what about creative works? Most art, music and poetry are inspired by emotion（情感）. And yet, we have indeed created AI that can produce creative works.

    In {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（十月）, 2018, Christie's famous auction（拍卖）house auctioned off a painting named Portrait of Edmond de Bellamy. The painting is not very outstanding. But it was sold for $432, 500, 3 {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（百万）yuan. What made it so special? The fact is that it was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（画） by an AI program written by Obvious, a group of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（艺术家） in Paris, according to Artnet News.

    AI has entered the world of poetry as well. In April, 2018, Chinese and Japanese researchers wrote {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（一套） AI program that uses images to write poems. The AI looks at colors and shapes in an image and uses this information to write a poem {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（快地）. Five hundred human judges（评委） were asked whether they could tell if the poems were written by a human or a computer. Forty percent of the judges mistakenly thought the poems were written by a human, according to MIT Technology Review.

But if AI can learn to create works of art {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（像）these, what place do humans have in the creative world? The difference  is  that  true  art  is  almost  always  an expression  of  emotion— something that AI is still {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（不能的）to feel. As famous poet Amy Lowell once said, "Art is the desire of a man to express {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（他自己）, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in."
