21、 An online tool has been released(推出）which is able to bring black and white photographs to life by adding colour to them using artificial intelligence(AI).
Colourisation(上色）of old photos is normally a process taking a lot of time,which requires special training and expensive software.The tool,ColouriseSG,is able to do it for free. It is trained on old pictures and uses machine learning to guess what it thinks the pictures would have looked like in colour.
＂The purpose of colourisation is to produce a picture with colours that seem to be right," the tool's developers say."It by no means makes sure that the colourised picture is an accurate（精确的）representation of the original photo in time."
The free-to-use tool was developed to provide an accurate way for people from Singapore to edit their black and white pictures.The idea of ColouriseSG was to provide a large enough data-set to be linked to people living in Singapore.
Tech firm NVIDIA has released several different picture editing tools that are powered by AI.Its latest release is software which uses deep learning to turn even the roughest drawings into works of art.
The new program,GauGAN,named after famous French impressionist Paul Gaugin,uses a tool called GAN to recognize simple lines and turn them into realistic pictures.
Its application could help jobs,for example,urban planning,edit pictures faster and with greater accuracy,according to the company.
“It's much easier to come up with designs with simple drawings,and this technology is able to turn these drawings into highly realistic pictures,"said Bryan Catanzaro,vice president of applied deep learning research at NVIDIA.
【1】How does ColouriseSG colourise photos?
A.By learning from people in Singapore.
B.By presenting old photos correctly.
C.By editing original colors on the photos.
D.By making a guess based on a data-set.
【2】According to the passage,GauGAN can
A.colourise black and white photos accurately
B.employ deep learning to create works of art
C.make Tech firm NVIDIA known to people
D.turn rough drawings into realistic pictures
【3】The passage is mainly about
A.the colourisation of old pictures
B.the technology of machine learning
C.picture editing tools powered by AI

23、 We spend 40 hours of our adult lives a week working, not including the time to and from the office. So it’s no surprise we become really good friends with our colleagues. We spend most of our time with them, after all. But times have changed and the way we talk to one another is ever-developing.
Now, many companies have internal instant messaging systems so that there’s less need to get up and walk round to speak to our colleagues. Emails fly around with numerous teams copied in, so everyone is in the loop (圈子). But what is the value of face-to-face conversation in the workplace?
New Zealand’s most admired wine brand. Villa Maria, knows the importance of conversation and how good communication can help strengthen a business from the inside out. Its newly launched campaign, called the Value of Conversation, explores what British people value the most about a face-to-face chat and how engaging with each other in person can make a difference in all areas of their lives.
Although nearly 1 in 5 British people find a quick email more efficient in their work, they still value the importance of speaking to their colleagues in real life and hearing their ideas, taking away any uncertainty and giving the opportunity for discussion. This is perhaps why, despite mostly preferring emails, nearly three-quarters of British people believe that speaking to people directly leads to better communication and improving work results.
Obviously, 85% of the people at the age of 18-24 believe that if someone is positive and confident during face-to-face conversations, it’s an indicator that they’re good at their job. So perhaps putting in a little extra effort to face-to-face conversations will pay dividends. If having a conversation in person could help you keep a pay rise, then it’ll be worth.
【1】What makes the ways of the communication among office colleagues change?
A.The order from their bosses. B.The laziness of the colleagues
C.The convenience of using emails. D.The preference to doing work alone.
【2】What is Villa Maria’s attitude towards face-to-face communication?
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Negative. D.Sympathetic.
【3】Why do many British people still like speaking to others directly while working?
A.It can improve the relationship with others.
B.It can save them much time.
C.It can make people communicate more easily than sending emails.
D.It can contribute to better communication and improving work results.
【4】What does the underlined phrase “pay dividends” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Get rewards. B.Pay salaries.
C.Learn lessons. D.End relationships.
24、Why Walking Your Dog Is Great Exercise
Having trouble sticking to an exercise program? Research shows that dogs are actually nature's perfect personal trainers-loyal, hard-working, energetic and enthusiastic.Your friends may skip an exercise session because of appointments,extra chores or bad weather.【1】
Is dog walking really effective exercise? Many people are becoming interested in exercise to help lose excess weight.【2】Dog owner-ship and obesity were evaluated in Seattle, Wash., and Baltimore, Md., in a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine in September 2008. Dog owners who reported walking their dogs were almost 25 percent less likely to be obese than people without dogs.
What are the benefits of regular exercise? Dr. Joanna Kruk reviewed medical literature describing the health benefits of exercise. Her research showed that the risk of developing a number of serious health problems is reduced by physical activity and exercise.
【3】It's easy to forget about healthy walking plans, so set the stage for a successful program: Establish a walking schedule; plan to walk 30 minutes total each day. This might include a 10-minute neighborhood walk in the morning and a 20-minute romp at the dog park after work. Or maybe three 10-minule walks or one 30-minute walk fit in better with your day.
If dog walking is "scheduled" each day, you'll feel more responsible for sticking with your program.【4】Most importantly, daily walking your dog will keep it fit and give it an opportunity to utilize their senses while also engaging their mind.
