Or a picture by 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 doesnt 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 doesnt 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 isnt interesting or creative, says Robbie Barrat, who helped create the painting but doesnt like the idea of selling it. He thinks its 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 peoples opinion, 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 shouldnt 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.11 .

People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks(手艺). They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rain in summer may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.16 .

First, get or borrow a dog! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and cats and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People generally share the same table and will sometimes talk to you if they see you are new there. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)! It takes about an hour to wash and dry them and people there often pass the time talking with each other. Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man, if you are a woman! Learn to say, “Please” “Thank you” and “Youre welcome” and use them all the time!There are some things you shouldnt do. Dont tell the truth when people ask, “How are you?” The only answer they want is “Fine”. Never ask people their ageespecially(尤其) women! Everyone wants to be young. Dont tell heavy people they are fat. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone wants to be thin. Dont be late when meeting people! When
