40、y-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet.If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kids huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.He knows every word in the dictionar

41、y and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get strange answers. A question about Smarter Childs age returns. “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets, “In a clean room in a high-tech bu

42、ilding in California.”Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather, he visits .Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of

43、 the Internet, an artificial being with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However, if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A. I. Artificial Intelligence, he must overcome two problems

It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.Another problem is that while Smarter Ch

48、e ground shook in Haiti, then Chile and Turkey. The earthquakes keep coming hard and fast this year, causing people to wonder if something evil (邪惡的) is happening underfoot. Its not.While it may seem as if there are more earthquakes occurring, there really arent. The problem is whats happening above

49、 ground, not underground, experts say. More people are moving into big cities that happen to be built in quake zones, and theyre rapidly putting up buildings that cant withstand (經(jīng)受) earthquakes, scientists believe. And around-the-clock news coverage (報道) and better earthquake monitoring(監(jiān)測) make it

50、 seem as if earthquakes are ever-present.“I can definitely tell you that the world is not coming to an end,” said Bob Holdsworth, an expert in tectonics (筑造學(xué)) at Durharn University in the UK.A 7.0 magnitude quake in January killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Last month, an 8.8 magnitude quake

This y

52、ear is off to a fast start with 40 so farmore than in most years for that time period.But thats because the 8.8 quake in Chile generated a large number of strong aftershocks, and so many quakes early this year skews (扭曲) the picture, said Paul Earle, a US seismologist (地震學(xué)家).Also, its not the number

53、 of quakes, but their devastating impacts(破壞性的影響) that gain attention, with the death tolls (死亡人數(shù)) largely due to construction standards (building standard) and crowding, Earle added. “The standard mantra (咒語) is earthquakes dont kill people, buildings do, ” he said. Ks*5*uThere have been more death

54、s over the past decades from earthquakes, said University of Colorado geologist Roger Bilham. In an opinion column last month in the journal Nature, Bilham called for better construction standards in the worlds big cities.Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than 1 million, more than half are prone (傾向于) to earthquakes, Bilham said.Developing nations, where populations are growing, dont pay attention to earthquake preparedness, Bilham said.” If you have a problem feeding yourself, youre not really going to worry about earthquakes.”Another
