    One of the greatest mysteries on Earth is the statues which stand on Easter Island. Easter Island, which was almost uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, is the most distant island in the world covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.
    Who built these statues and why and how did they get there? Nobody knows the answer for sure.
    One theory suggests that Easter Island was first inhabited by Polynesians, who traveled thousands of miles in their canoes（独木舟）in 400 A.D. However, the ocean currents（洋流）which carried them there would not take them back, so that they could not leave.
    The statues appear to have been made out of the top edge of the walls of a volcano on the island. Then, it may have been rolled or dragged down to the foot of the volcano(火山). Then, it was stood upright（直立）and ropes were tied around it, which was made to act as a pulley（滑轮）. Over a period of months, a statue could be walked for miles down to the ocean. Finally, it was placed in line with other statues, all of them looking towards the center of the island.
    This process was difficult. If a statue fell over, it was too heavy to be pulled upright again, so the islanders went back and carved another statue.
    The population of Easter Island must have reached 11,000. Later, the resources of the island were used up and people began fighting and eating each other. Work on the statues stopped and the statues were knocked over. When the first Europeans finally arrived on the island, most of these people had died out.

Can you recognize (辨别) AI-made pictures among real ones? Mark Zuckerberg wears a pink coat and walks in the fashion show. Former US president, Donald Trump, falls over while {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is getting arrested (逮捕). These pictures have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} popular online recently. They have one thing in common—they are fake (假的), but they look real.

AI tools, like Midjourney and DALL-E, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} create such pictures. Simply type in what you want and the picture comes out in a few minutes. People have never been {#blank#}4{#/blank#} worried than today about the fake news.

However, AI tools are not perfect. News medias, including the Washington Post and the Paper gave some {#blank#}5{#/blank#} on recognizing fake pictures.

One way is to look at hands. Human hands are often {#blank#}6{#/blank#} incorrectly by AI. The photos AI uses to learn often show hands in different ways, so it isn't sure what a "hand" {#blank#}7{#/blank#} looks like.

The other way is to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} attention to the details. For example, people in an AI made picture may miss an earring or a part of their glasses. If there {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a text in a picture, the text is usually unreadable. AI is also terrible at dealing with the background. If there's a crowd in the image, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} faces in the corner are usually unclear—or they don't have a face at all!

Almost all of us have had a flag raising experience.Hold it，then raise it.It's so easy.But doing so on the moon can be really difficult.

There is no air on the moon，which leads to the first problem with flag raising—there's no wind to keep the flag flying.

In the earlier Chang'e missions，the national flag of China was painted on the surface of the moon landers and rovers（月球着陆器和月球车）.In the Chang'e-5 mission，a special flag display system was invented.Since the Chang'e-5 didn't carry an astronaut to the moon，the work had to be done by a robotic arm.Researchers worked hard to make the display system weigh only 1 kilogram. The material of the flag is also a big problem.Normal flags on the earth would be broken or even destroyed quickly on the moon because of the radiation from the sun and huge temperature differences during the day and night.

It took the researchers more than a year to find the ideal material.It was developed by Professor Xu Weilin and his team from Wuhan Textile University.It could help the flag keep its color and shape in the environment on the surface of the moon.

The scene of the five-star red flag against the dark sky on the surface of the moon was taken by a camera on the lander and then sent back to the earth.Every Chinese was amazed at the history-making moment（时刻）.At the same time，we should also know and remember the teams behind this great effort.
