Alisa, Karen, Gabriolle and I

18、 had spent that day together just being freshmengoing to the sandwich shop for the last lunch of the term, trying on each others clothes, watching movies and acting like we would never see each other again. For freshmen, and especially for us, saying goodbye at the end of the first year can feel lik

19、e saying goodbye forever.My advice to any freshmen is to cherish those moments. You may grow completely apart from the people you spent your first year with. Even if you have almost forgotten your freshman year roommates two years later, you can never replace that year and the completely new feeling

20、 that your first year of college brings. We learned more outside the classroom than we learned inside it. That dormitory is where we learned the lessons of our freshman years.

He emailed home for help. “Naturally we all love escapism,” he wrote, “but the important questio

26、n is why? Youre a fantasy writer, Mum, got any ideas?”This is what I came up with: Fantasy is important for the human mind. It begins as the psychological process by which a child learns to fill the space between knowledge, reality and experience.When we were small children, trying to get to sleep,

27、a creaking(嘎吱響的) floorboard was really frightening. Who or what could be making the noise？The only way to make sense of the experience was to fantasise: there is probably a tiger under the bed.Children frighten themselves silly like this, but while they have no knowledge of central heating pipes swe

28、lling(管道膨脹), they have to use make-believe to fill the space between experience and knowledge. As time passes and children learn about the effect of heat on pipes and floorboards, they will often prefer the tiger story. Fear, within a safe environment, is fun.As they grow, children need stories that

29、 include war, falling in love, becoming a hero and saving the world. They provide a framework(框架) within which developing emotions can awaken, ready for “real life” when it hits.Louis Sachars Holes is a great modern explanation of this, but the best ones are those we make up for ourselves. A friend

30、who is a child psychologist was treating a boy whod been mistreated by a relative.

The rabbit remembered the love,

31、but he also understood that wolves were dangerous, and had to be avoided. The child went away with the tools to reconcile(和解) the irreconcilable.Taking one step away from reality to that “safe” place of pretend prepares us to look the worlds hard realities in the face.28.

D New artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) software is being used in Japan to monitor the body language of shoppers and look for

35、 signs that they are planning to shoplift. The software, VaakEye, which is made by a Tokyo startup called Vaak, uses behavior to predict shoplifting action.

36、ng.Vaak says that shoplifting losses dropped by 77% during a test period in local convenience stores and VaakEye has since been rolled out in 50 stores across Japan.Using AI to catch thieves raises all kinds of questions, however.“While the goal is to prevent theft, is it legal to prevent someone fr

37、om entering a store based on this software?” said Michelle Grant from Euromonitor.“What we provide is information. We dont decide who is a shoplifter; the shop decides whos a shoplifter,” said Tanaka.Yet that is what concerns the human rights charity Liberty, which is campaigning to ban facial recog

38、nition technology in the United Kingdom. Liberty is also worried that AI will raise discrimination(歧視).“With technologies that rely on particular human behaviorthe possibility of discrimination is always there,” said Hannah Couchman, Libertys policy officer. “Are people aware of whats happening?” as

39、ked Couchman. “What do they think about it? What happens to the data? How is it protected? Might it be shared?”Grant said consumers are willing to sacrifice some privacy for conveniencesuch as using face recognition for paymentbut only when theyre aware of what the technology is being used.“There is

40、 a need for guidance from regulators and lawmakers who will finally need to decide in what situations the use of this technology will be proper,” said Christopher Eastham, a specialist in AI at the law firm Fieldfisher.32.
