Passage 1
Would you pay thousands of dollars for a painting with a face so unclear that you’re not even sure it’s a face? Or a picture by an unknown artist? What if the artist was a computer?
A piece of artwork created mainly by a computer programme has been sold at the price $432,500—about ten times more than people expected. This painting, named Edmond de Belamy, was created by artificial intelligence (AI)(人工智能). This means the computer now doesn’t just follow us, but makes some decisions and “thinks itself”.
15,000 real paintings were used by some French students to train the computer programme with two parts. One part tries to create paintings that look real, while the other part decides if it is good. If the painting doesn’t look real enough, the first part will change its decisions until it comes up with a better work.
This is not the first AI artwork, just the first piece on sale. In fact, many people are not impressed with the painting. “The work isn’t interesting or creative,” says Robbie Barrat, who helped create the painting but doesn’t like the idea of selling it. He thinks it’s too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He adds that he created many pictures like it much earlier.
In some other people’s opinions, however, AI art is already very unusual. They hope it will be more common in the future.
Still, people who look down upon AI art shouldn’t worry. Just as an AI artist, Theo Triantafyllidis says, he usually thinks of AI as a tool and not the artist. Even the best AI today is somewhere between a stupid child and a smart pet. It will grow up.

Passage 2
Every day, people pack their belongings and move to new places. Why do people move?There are many reasons.Look around you. Do you know someone who has moved? Maybe they came from a rural area, or from a nearby city or town. Perhaps they came from another country. It’s possible that you moved to the city that you live in now. Let’s look at the following important reasons people move.
Jobs
People move to find jobs and a better life. Sometimes, people move from rural areas to urban areas, such as cities, to get a job. In 1990, about a quarter of the people in China lived in cities. Today, over half of the Chinese people live in cities. People find a better way of life in other

countries, too. In the 1950s, immigrants from Europe moved to Brazil to work in factories. Around the world, people move abroad to find new jobs and a better life.
Good Services
When another city has good services, people want to move there. For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools. Sometimes people move from a city to areas called suburbs. Suburbs are near the outside of the city. They are quiet and have wide streets. Suburbs have more space for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls,and zoos. Families with young children like to live in suburbs.
New Experiences
Finally, people move when they want a change in their lives. Sometimes, older people move to places with better weather. Some students go to universities in another country to learn about other places. Whatever the reason is, people often move to find new experiences and a better life.
As you can see, people move for many reasons.Maybe someday you or someone you know will move, too!
