33、the holidays all that great food at Thanksgiving,Christmas and New Year.But if you find yourself packing on 5,10,or even 20 pounds every winter,you may be suffering from more than just a sweet tooth.Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD)often leads to significant weight gain in the colder,darker months.“P

34、eople with SAD desire sugary,starchy(含淀粉的)foods because they increase serotonin(a brain chemical that controls your emotion)levels,”says Dr.Norman Rosenthal,a leading seasonal of depression expert.“From most people,the consequence of eating a lot of these foods is weight gain.But for people with SAD

35、,in addition to weight gain,there is also a roller coaster(过山车般的)mood ride between highs and lows.”Plus,according to recent slower metabolism(新陈代谢)than others.“Because SAD arrives predictably at the same time every year,you have the opportunity to plan ahead,”writes Dr.Rosenthal.For more than 30 yea

36、rs,he has studied SAD and its treatments.He also suffers from the disorder himself:“As the sunlight went away,so did my energy and emotion.I soldiered on through the winter.Cookies and candy became a source of comfort.But when spring came,everything just seemed to get better.”One of the most difficu

37、lt aspects of the disorder is that the sadness isnt constant,says Dr.Rosenthal.So,its easy to deny the problem.But its time to bring SAD into the light.“I started using a light box,and to this day never travel without one.I began to exercise regularly.I changed my diet to pay more attention to prote

38、ction,vegetables,and low-impact foods,”he writes.“Although I accept that winter may not feel as good as summer,I have found a sense of well-being again.”Planning a healthier lifestyle is never a bad idea.But dont beat yourself up if your symptoms dont improve right away.Asking for help is a sign of

39、strength and movement towards a better version of yourself.Consider how you can start managing SAD today and live a healthier word“it”in every season.53.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.SAD B.Weight control C.The extra weight D.The great food 54.Why do SAD sufferers like su

41、energetic in winter.D.They exercise regularly.C ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEis one of the hottest,least understood and most debated technological breakthroughs in modern times.In many ways,the magic of AI is that its not something you can see or touch.You may not even realize you are using it today.When

42、your Nest thermostat(恒温器)knows how to set the right temperature at home or when your phone automatically corrects your grammar or when a Tesla car navigates(导航)a road autonomously that s AI at work.For most of our lives,people have had to adapt to technology.To find a file on a computer,we input a c

43、ommand on a keyboard attached to one particular machine.To make a phone call,we tap sorts of numbers on a keypad.To get a piece if information,we type a specific set of keywords into a search engine.AI is tuning that dynamic on its head by creating technologies that adapt to us rather than the other

44、 way around new ways of interesting with computers that wont seem like computing at all.Computer scientists have been working on AI technologies for decades,and were now seeing that work bear fruit.Recent breakthroughs,based on computers ability to understand speech and language,and have vision,have

45、 given rise to our technology“alter ego”a personal guide that knows your habits and communication preferences,and helps you schedule your time,motivate your team to do their best work,or be,say,a better parent.Core to the work I do on conversational AI is how we model language not only inspired by t

46、echnical advances,but also by insight from our best and brightest thinkers on the way people use words.To do so,we revisit ideas in books(that give us closer looks at the complexity of human language),such as Steven Pinker s The Stuff of Thought,which combines logical rules with the unpredictability

47、 of human passion.Humanity s most important moments are often those risky interactions where emotion comes into play like a business where negotiation and people use vague,ambiguous language needs to take social risks.AI that understands language needs to combine the logical and unpredictable ways p

48、eople interact.This likely means AI needs to recognize when people are more effective on their own when to get out of the way,when not to help,when not to record,when not to interrupt or distract.The advances that AI is bringing to our world have been a half-century in the making.But AI s time is no

49、w.Because of the vast amounts of data in our world,only the almost limitless computing power of the cloud can make sense of it.AI can truly help solve some of the worlds most annoying problems,from improving day-to-day communication to energy,climate,health care,transportation and more.The real magi

50、c of AI,in the end,wont be magic at all.It will be technology that adapts to people.This will be profoundly transformational for humans and for humanity.56.From Paragraph 3,we can learn that_.A.people are using AI unconsciously at present B.computers rob peoples creativity in some wayC.AI will make
