High school students have defeated {#blank#}1{#/blank#} artificial intelligence device designed to pass the national college entrance exam, in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province.

    Forty-three students from liberal arts classes at Chengdu Shishitianfu High School joined the two-hour contest {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (finish) a math test in the standard national entrance exam against the robot, the brainchild of four years' research by Zhun Xing Yun Xue Technology Co.Ltd.

    Students scored 106 points {#blank#}3{#/blank#} average, outperforming the computer program that had 93 points. She Yujia, a student in the contest, said she felt like {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fight) the program on behalf of humans, especially after Google's AlphaGo {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (beat) professional Go player Lee Sedol of South Korea last year.

    Researchers who developed the AI test taker, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is also part of a project by the Ministry of Science and Technology, said the failure was due to a poor understanding of concepts in some math problems.

    Lin Hui, CEO of the developing company, said more efforts {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (make) to fix bugs and improve performance of the program in the near future, with a focus on math {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (apply).

    Chinese students are usually separated into science and liberal arts classes at high school, a practice that allows them to stay {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (compete) in the college entrance exam by choosing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (prefer) subjects. Math tests for liberal arts students are usually easier than those given to science students.

    On the first day of school our professor{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(introduce) Rose,a little old lady,to us."Why are you in college at such{#blank#}2{#/blank#}old age?"I asked later.She jokingly replied,"I'm here to meet a rich husband,get{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(marry),have a couple of children,and then retire and travel."

    At the end of the first term we invited Rose{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(make) a speech to our football team.She cleared her throat and began,"We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}you lose your dreams, you will die.There is a huge difference{#blank#}6{#/blank#}growing older and growing up.Anybody can grow older.The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity.The elderly usually don't have regrets for what they've done,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}rather for things they haven't done.The only people{#blank#}8{#/blank#}fear death are those with regrets."

    At the end of that year Rose finished the college degree.One week after graduation Rose died{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(peace) in her sleep.Over two thousand college students attended her funeral（葬礼）to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's{#blank#}10{#/blank#}too late to be all you can possibly be.

    A best friend is someone {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you can tell everything to, even your most personal {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (feel) and thoughts. Anne Frank treated her diary {#blank#}3{#/blank#} her best friend. The German Nazis were in search of Anne and her family. The family had to hide away from the chase. They didn't dare to go out even in the evenings. They had to stay {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(indoor) day and night. Not {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) able to go out for such a long time, Anne missed the beauty of nature so much that she {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(grow) crazy about everything to do with {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. She stayed up until eleven thirty one evening on purpose just to see {#blank#}8{#/blank#} moonlight. She said, "This is the first time that I have seen the moonlight {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I came here."

    {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(fortune), the family were discovered at last and taken away from the hiding place.
