    China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.

    In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and after 2010, the percentage was over 50%.

    There are several reasons for this.

    Firstly, there are few differences between boys and girls in their intelligence (智力). That's to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.

    Secondly, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.

    Another reason is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls' education.

The human brain weighs about 1. 4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are some suggestions. 

Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos. " don't just say "Hello". Repeat the person's name. Say "Hello, Carlos. "

Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts—109/244/153—it becomes easier. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts. 

Always review information. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} For example, before you go to sleep, it's a good idea to review the new things you learned that day. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer. 

"Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory. 

A. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. 

B. All of the suggestions are helpful. 

C. Discuss with a friend. 

D. Write out what you need to remember over and over again. 

E. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. 

 阅读短文 从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 For as long as humans have appeared, we have been the smartest species(物种) on Earth. Monkeys know how to use simple tools. Elephants can be taught how to count. But things like art, literature, the Internet, and space travel have only been made possible by the amazing intelligence(智力) of humans. And yet, there are some who believe that we can create machines that can think and feel just like we do. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is defined (定义) by Merriam - Webster as"the ability of a machine to copy intelligent human behaviour".

AI is around us every day. From Apple's voice-activated assistant Siri to the software algorithms(算法) that shipping companies use to deal with deliveries,AI is very much a part of our lives.

 But why do we try hard to create machines that can think the way we do? AI can make our lives much easier. Imagine being able to be in a car, tell it the place and sit back in comfort as the AI - guided self- driving car takes you there. We' re already getting there—— Changsha became the first city in China to roll out self - driving taxis in April 

2020. Moreover, AI can control lighting, temperature, and security systems, making homes more comfortable and energy - saving.

 However, there are risks (风险) . What if we somehow produced an artificial intelligence that was smarter than us? Would they control us? Would they take away our jobs? These are difficult questions that AI researchers ask themselves all the time.

 Except for the risks, it has been already clear that Al is here to stay. Only time will tell if it will lead us into a new age of prosperity(繁荣) , or be our end.
