My eighteen-year-old daughter Julia called twenty minutes after she left, saying

she had an accident. I grabbed my shoes and was in the car in less than a minute.

When I finally saw her,I hugged her tightly. Then I looked at the other driver.

Learning that he fell asleep behind the wheel at about seventy miles an hour when the

speed limit was forty-five, I could have killed him.

“It could have been worse,” I reminded myself as she cried all the way to the

doctor's office.Luckily, four days after the accident, Julia felt better. At her

appointment, her doctor cleared her to resume normal activities, including driving.

But I could tell by her look that she had no intention of getting behind the wheel.

Later that day, I sat with Julia as she spoke on the phone with our insurance

agent. On the phone,she was professional, telling the agent what had happened in a

clear, brief way. I realized she sounded like an adult. And adults drive cars. I realized

that no matter how I felt about it,allowing Julia to give in to her fear wasn't good for

her. When she hung up, I hugged her. “You're stronger than you think,” I said. “And

tomorrow you're going to drive my car and meet your friends for lunch. You just have

to push through the fear and do it, and it will get easier each time you do.”I ignored

the fear in her eyes and the way my heart sped up when I thought about Julia behind

the wheel again.

The next day, Julia drove my car to meet her friends. As I watched her leave, I

felt nervous and proud.She texted me when she got to the restaurant, and I felt my

heart rate return to normal.The tears I'd been holding back all week flooded my eyes.

Watching her leave the house without me for the first time since the accident was

frightening, but it was also necessary.

24.What was the author's reaction to the driver's behavior?

D.Julia was smart to deal with any trouble.

27.Why did the author cry at Julia＇s text（短消息）？

B.Julia recovered mentally and physically.

C.Julia had supportive friends and parents.

D.Julia could look after herself when driving.

After waking up, you may feel annoyed that you cannot recall the dreams you

had last night.Artificial intelligence (Al) may be able to help.

Previously, there have been Al models that can turn text into images （图

像）.They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and

images. This time,researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI

system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people's brain scans,

reported Science magazine.

The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota,

US,which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of

10,000photos.The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging

(fMRI).

The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood

flow shown by the fMRI data-when a part of the brain is activated （激活），more

blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this

method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.

Finally,the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same

participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the

person looked at an airplane， for example， the AI would use the brain scan data

to create an image of a very blurry（模糊的）airplane. Then， it would turn on the

previous “text-to-image”model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself

the keyword "airplane". The final images were "convincing" with about 80 percent of

accuracy（精确），according to the researchers．

The new study created a new approach that includes texts and images to

“decipher（破译）the brain”，Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told

Science magazine. In the future,scientists hope that the technology can be used to

record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently

other animals understand reality.

28.What do we know about Stable Diffusion?

A.It can help train people's minds.

B.It can fully present people's dreams.

C.It was created to draw people's brains.

D.It can produce pictures from people's thoughts.

29.How did the AI system learn about human brain activity?

A.By analyzing activities of human thoughts.

B.By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain.

C.By recording brain scans from four participants.

D.By examining 10,000 photos about human brains.

30.How did the Al system improve the quality of the final images?

A.By employing a text-to-image" model.

C.By combining additional brain scans.

B.By adjusting various brain scan data.

D.By inputting text from human observers.

31.What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists?

A.To improve text-to-image models.
