When it comes to generation gap (代沟), we usually think of different tastes in music, or games. But now the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn't read what she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying that handwriting should be taught in schools.
Others who are against it argue that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world. Typed words have become a main form of communication. Once a practical skill, handwriting is no longer used by most of Americans It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for example, by teaching the technical skills.

造).

People are also, more likely to remember what they write by hand than what they type, and the process of writing by hand has been shown to simulate ideas. Not only those,(studies have shown that kids who write by hand to lead and spell earlier than those who don’t.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have trained an artificial intelligence(人工智能) system, to write fake( 伪造的) reviews( 评论) on Yelp, a website showing customers reviews on shopping or something else, and it’s pretty hard to tell them apart from a human review.
Their study, which will be pressed at the ACM Conference on Computer and Communication Security in October, aimed to stress how easily these systems can write reviews like humans and how damaging they can become if they’re not mentioned properly.
Since many small businesses rely on online reviews to help grow and support their reputation.
a future where someone--like a competitor or angry customer- could crazily fill their page with bad reviews written by a machine is pretty worrying.
And, according to the research team, the threat goes far beyond a bunch of fake reviews on Yelp. In general, the threat is bigger," Ben Y Zhao, one of the authors of the study, said. "I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not. I think that's going to be even more unimaginable.”
To test how believable these reviews came across, the researchers invited 40 volunteers and had AI generate five fake reviews for 40 actual restaurants. The volunteers were asked how useful they thought the reviews were and whether or not they thought it was fake. The AI reviews was regarded as “effectively indistinguishable" from real reviews, according to the study. Further the fake reviews were given a 3.15 “usefulness" rating, compared to a 3.28 rating for human reviews.
32 What can the new artificial intelligence system do according to the passage?
A. It can help train new reviewers.
B. It can tell the real reviews from the fake ones
C. It can write human-like reviews
D. It can easily damage the businesses
33 What does the underlined word "rival" mean in the passage?
A. A person who respect you deeply
B. A person who is against you.
C. A person who love to give fake reviews
D. A person who can control you from distance.
34. What can we infer from Ben Y. Zhao's remarks?
A. Artificial intelligence can put the society in danger.
B. The artificial intelligence is only used by the researchers
C. Ben Y. Zhao is optimistic about the further development of artificial intelligence
D. The artificial intelligence will help people shake.
35. What the best title for the passage?
A. Tips on Giving Reviews.
B. How to Tell the Fake Reviews
C. Development of Al in Review on Yelp.
D. AI is coming to Steal Your Reviews
