Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn't working? Of course, your computer can't "shout" back. But Al researchers have been working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates (辩论) with humans.
IBM scientists recently published a paper in Nature about their new AI system— Project Debater. It can debate with people in front of a live audience. After listening to arguments from its opponent (对手), the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. And then it looks for ideas that can support its own argument.
Testing on the system began in 2019. When it debated with Harish Natarajan, a professional debater who holds the world record for the most debate competition victories. The topic was about subsidizing preschool (资助幼儿园) —and Project Debater argued to support this idea. Although Project Debater lost the debate in the end, the audience said it performed very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic—only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan.
According to Scientific American, results show that the system is able to form logical statements (有逻辑的陈述) . However, ★ . Their goal is to help humans make better decisions, according to Ranit Aharanoy, manager of the Project Debater team. "It can debate both sides, so it can very quickly help you understand both sides of the problem, so you can have a wider view of the problem and make a more thoughtful decision." Aharanoy said.
Let's wait and see how the Project Debater will develop in the near future.

Now many students have to spend most of their time studying to get higher marks. For this reason, there's often little time left for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} or communicating with others. This passage will list several causes of the situation and offer some advice.
One of the main causes is exams. They are the most stressful(压力重的) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} that students have. And most students take a huge number of them during their school years. Many exams ask students to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and recite ( 背诵) facts by heart. Some experts (专家) think it could be better to learn how to use the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to solve problems in real life. That is why some schools are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} many other forms of assessment (考核形式).
Another cause could be the students' full schedules (满满的时间表). After a long day at school, students usually have several more hours of homework to do in the evening. That makes {#blank#}6{#/blank#} very tired. You know studying isn't useful while you are tired. To solve this problem, students should {#blank#}7{#/blank#} breaks and, if possible, take exercise outdoors. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it seems illogical (不合逻辑的) to suggest doing more activities when their schedule is full, taking a break can relax their body and mind. It'll make them work {#blank#}9{#/blank#} and better.
In short, this situation is serious. However, if schools choose other forms of assessment and if students can plan their schedules well, students may be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to do things better and enjoy more free time.
