19、but a whole app. Lam interviewed five Chinese Americans from around the country, asking them about their experiences in Chinatown, plus questions about their ancestors,their families and their memories.

20、ern of speech.Lam created the app Family Association. He calls the piecethe free appFamily Association, after the important folk groups that line the streets of the neighborhood.

22、in map to see locations of the associations.As they walk closer to one of the family association buildings,the focus is on one of the five oral history participants, telling their stories. These stories arent about the family associations; instead theyre about the Chinese-American experience and how

23、 theyve felt supported by Chinatown.But Lam thinks of the app itself as a kind of virtual family association, connecting these Chinese-American voices with each other,even if theyve never met.

28、ibute（把归因于）independent thought and intentional behavior to robots is yet to be understood,”said study author Agnieszka Wykowska,PhD,a principal investigator at the Italian Institute of Technology.“As artificial intelligence increasingly becomes a part of our lives,it is important to understand how i

29、nteracting with a robot that displays human-like behaviors might cause higher likelihood of attribution of intentional agency to the robot,”Across three experiments involving 119 participants, researchers examined how individuals would see a human-like robot,the iCub,after socializing with it and wa

30、tching videos together. Before and after interacting with thee robot, participants completed a questionnaire that showed them pictures of the robot in different situations and asked them to choose whether the robots motivation in each situation was mechanical or intentional,The researchers found tha

31、t participants who watched videos with the human-like robot were more likely to rate the robots actions as intentional, rather than programmed, while those who only interacted with the machine-like robot were not. This shows that mere expo-sure to a human-like robot is not enough to make people beli

32、eve it is capable of thoughts and emotions. It is human-like behavior that might be crucial for being deemed as an intentional agent.According to Wykowska,these findings show that people might be more likely to believe artificial intelligence is capable of independent thought when it creates the imp

36、m a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin（树脂）used in 3D printing could allow for making better use of plastic waste. A team of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform prophylactic acid(PLA)（聚乳酸），a bio-based plastic used in products such as filament

37、，plastic silverware and food packaging to a high-quality resin.We found a way to immediately turn this into something thats stronger and better, and we hope that will provide people with the inspiration to up cycle this stuff instead of just throw it away,” said Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral resear

38、cher in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and a co-corresponding author on the work.“We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunity.”Although its bio-based,PLA,which is categorized as a number 7 plastic,doesnt break down easil

39、y. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading（降解）. It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when its melted down and re-formed, it doesnt perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.“Its biodegradable and compos table, but once you look into

40、it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to rot away in a landfill,”Chang said.“In reality, it still creates a lot of pollution. We want to make sure that when we do start producing PLA on the million-tons scale, we will know how to deal with it.”While the researchers focused on PLA

41、for the study, they hope to apply the work to poly-ethylene terephthalate（PET）（涤纶树脂），which is more common than PLA and has a similar chemical structure and presents a bigger waste problem. They have filed a temporary patent and are working to further optimize（优化）the process. The researchers are also

61、段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。Marathons are not for the faint of heart, nor the faint of lungs. You might think youre up for it, but then your lungs will remind you halfway through that this might be too much. I have a ton of respect for people who do compete in them. Make sure you stretch a lot before you do one!

62、This story though, is about someone who could have finished the race sooner but chose not to.There are people who are well in-shape to run a marathon， and marines（海军陆战队士兵）are definitely some of those people. Military training is some of the toughest out there. Theyll make you do push up（俯卧撑）after pu

63、sh up， course after course， and theyll make you do it regularly. A marine is thus well-prepared to run something like a marathon race.Myles Kerr was a 19-year-old marine who joined in a 5-kilometre marathon. As the name implies, a 5-kilometre marathon is 5 kilometers of running you have to do. And 5

64、 kilometers is a lot to run on foot. It is definitely not a distance you should attempt without a lot of preparation and training. Myles, thanks to his training, was even able to wear boots while he ran.While Myles and the other marines with him could handle this just fine,one other runner couldnt.

65、It was 9-year-old Brandon Fuchs. The boy joined in the race as part of a group. However,he got separated from the group as the race progressed. He was now quite far behind and struggling to finish the race.Brandon is just 9 years old, but he is fond of sports. He always sits in front of TV watching

66、matches of all kinds of sports, especially matches concerning running. He ever participated in some kinds of running races, which made him even more interested in sports. When he knew a short-distanced marathon was to be held in his city, he signed up for it without hesitation. 注意1.续写词数应为150左右2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。It just happened that the boy caught sight of Myles.Seeing Myles run together with Brandon, people felt confused.
