角顿市安康阳光实验学校Module 2 Fantasy Literature Section ⅠⅠ阅读理解AWriting and creativity may be traditionally thought of as the abilities of humans，but artificial intelligence(AI)systems are making progress in this area.Now，there’s an AI named Shelley who can write pretty incredible horror stories.Shelley is a deep learning AI system that was developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)and named after Victorian novelist Mary Shelley who penned Frankenstein.Like most AI robots, Shelley gains its“intelligence”by data fed to it，which，in this case，is a website dedicated(致力于)to sharing original horror tales.The team from the lab used the stories to teach the AI how to tell a horror story that a human would find understandable and scary.Shelley can now create short paragraphs of horror stories by itself.Shelley starts new stories every hour on her Twitter account，and any time a follower continues with a new sentence, it uses that contribution to determine a logical next sentence, steadily building a story connected with her follower’ers can reply with up to three tweets and end their additions to the story with your turn.Shelley will then pick up where they left off.It’s important to note that Shelley won’t continue every story that’s tweeted by her.Programmers, filmmakers, movie writers and novelists have long been facing the creative challenge by the popularity of horror shows, movies and games, and have judged how much people, love being scared while knowing they are not in a real danger.Shelley is just a product of the creative challenge.“Creating an emotion such as fear remains one of the cornerstones of human creativity.We wonder what the limits of artificial intelligence are：Can machines learn to scare us？” said one researcher.While scientists consider the AI capable__of creating its own literature seems to have a long way to go, it’s an interesting example of AI and humans working together to create something entirely new.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

A MakeAWish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.
