While the achievement is remarkable in itself, what is even more so is that the youngster, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Nigeria in 2022, seeking religious protection. A church pastor(牧师)helped find the family of four space in a homeless shelter in Manhattan and, soon after, Tani entered the local elementary school. It was here that the young talent was first introduced to the basics of chess by a part-time teacher. Attracted by the game, the then seven-year-old begged his mother, Oluwatoyin, to allow him to join the schools chess club. The family were concerned that they would be unable to afford the fees and expenses, which add up to thousands of dollars due to travel and chess competition admissions, Oluwatoyin emailed chess instructor Russell Makofsky, who ran the club. To her surprise and delight, Makofsky agreed to waive all costs for young Tani. The rest, as they say, is history. The young boy, who has got seven prizes in less than a year, currently ranks 27 in America in his age group.Though the chess club certainly helps, Tanis success can be largely owed to the efforts he has put into the game. The chess talent practices the game for several hours a day either on the floor with his board, or online, using his dads laptop. Every Saturday, Tani and his mother head to Harlem for a free 3-hour class to help further sharpen his game skills.Not surprisingly, Tanis incredible story, first reported by The New York Times, has resulted in an outpouring of support from the American public. Shortly after the young boy won the New York State Championship, Makofsky began a GoFundMe campaign for Tani and his family to “secure a home where he can continue on his journey.And the heartwarming story gets even better!

DThree computer scientists known as the "godfathers of Al" have won this year's Turing Award for their work on machines that are able to learn in similar way to the human brain. Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun will share this year's award，which is given annually by the Association for Computing Machinery and comes with a $1 million prize funded by Google. Although they have known each other for more than 30 years, Bengio, Hinton and LeCun have mostly worked separately on technology known as neural(神经的)networks. “For a long time, people thought what the three of us were doing was nonsense , Hinton said in an interview with The Associated Press. "They thought we were very misguided and what we were doing was a very surprising thing for apparently intelligent people to waste their time on. My message to young researchers is, don't be put off if everyone tells you what are doing is silly. Now，some people are worried that the results of the researchers' efforts might be out of control. While the AI revolution is raising hopes that computers will make most people's lives more convenient and enjoyable, it's also causing fears that humanity eventually will be living at the mercy of machines. Bengio, Hinton and LeCun share some of those concerns-especially the doomsday(世界末日)scenarios(情景)that describe AI technology developed into weapons systems that wipe out humanity. But they are far more optimistic about the other prospects(前景)of Al-enabling computers to deliver more accurate warnings about floods and earthquakes， for instance, or detecting health risks, such as cancer and heart attacks, far earlier than human doctors. “One thing is very clear, the techniques that we developed can be used for a large amount of good affecting hundreds of millions of people, Hinton said. 32. What can we learn about the Turing Award?A. It has a $ 1 million prize which is funded by Google. B. It is given for the winners' work on computers this year. C. It is only given to people known as the "godfathers of AI". D. The three winners of it have worked together for over 30 years. 33. Why did people think what the three were doing was nonsense?A. AI is really causing fears at present. B. The doomsday scenarios is so frightening. C. They thought they might be out of control. D. They thought the three were very misguided. 34. What can we say about AI?A. It is hopeful to make most people's lives more convenient and enjoyable. B. It is causing humanity to live in the charge of machine. C. It will be able to prevent floods and earthquakes. D. It will have the ability to cure cancers and heart attacks. 35. What's the author's attitude towards the award-winners' work?A. Uncaring. B.
