Maybe you’re not quite as good as you think. New research from the University of Manchester and Oxford suggests complex games like these are impossible to learn fully. They may even be too complex for the human mind to understand.
Researchers studied two-player games, to try and understand the strategies which people use to make decisions during the game. Some games with two players are simple, with only a small number of possible moves. Players can quickly work out the best strategy but that means the game soon becomes boring.
It gets more interesting when there are many possible moves. That’s why people are so fascinated by complex board games like chess or Go, or some card games. But what the researchers found was that with difficult games, players find it hard to work out the best strategy and their actions become less reasonable.
This research is part of the field called game theory: the study of human strategic decision-making. Much thinking on how people play complex games is based on something called “the balance point”, which is when players have a perfect knowledge of what they are going to do and of what their rivals are going to do.
When you add more than two players then of course the game becomes even harder to understand. Trading on the stock market is an example of a complex multi-player game.

A team at the University of Missouri is developing a system that can analyze pictures using a 5,000-year-old Chinese principle, which is based on the flow and balance of positive and negative energies in the body, and uses the tongue as a key to learning about a person’s physical health, or “zheng” according to Chinese medicine.
“Within a year, our goal is to create an application for smart phones that will allow anyone to take a photo of their tongue and learn the status of their zheng,” said Dong Xu, chair of MU’s Computer Science Department in the College of Engineering and the co-author of the latest study.
The software analyzes images based on the tongue’s color and coating to distinguish between tongues showing signs of “hot” or “cold” zheng. Shades of red and yellow are associated with hot zheng, whereas a white coating on the tongue is a sign of cold zheng.
“Hot and cold zheng doesn’t refer directly to body temperature,” said Xu, “Rather, it refers to a series of symptoms associated with the state of the body as a whole.”
For the study, 263 gastritis(胃炎) patients and 48 healthy volunteers had their tongues analyzed. The gastritis patients were classified by whether they showed infection by a certain bacteria as well as the intensity of their gastritis symptoms. In addition, most of the gastritis patients had been previously classified with either hot or cold zheng. This allowed the researchers to test the accuracy of the software’s analysis.
“Our software is able to classify people based on their zheng status. And as we continue to work on the software we hope to improve its ability,” said another co-author Ye Duan, “Eventually everyone will be able to use this tool at home using webcams or smart phone applications, which will allow them to monitor their zheng and get an early warning about possible ailments.”
小题1: The software mentioned in the passage is based on ________.
A.the latest development of smart phones |
B.a traditional Chinese medical principle |
C.the changes in one’s flow and energy |
D.symptoms related with the state of the body |
A.one’s body temperature | B.the physical health of a person |
C.the possible disease of a person | D.the color and coating of one’s tongue |
A.the effect of the software |
B.the software’s great prospect |
C.the advancement of smart phones |
D.the greatness of Chinese medicine |
A.analysis | B.effects | C.illnesses | D.applications |
A.the software still needs improvement |
B.the subjects in the study are all gastritis |
C.the software has been in market for a year |
D.the subjects in the study are classified by age |
I"ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don"t know what to do with him these days," she said. "He"s forgotten all the manners we taught him."
He hasn"t forgotten them. He" s just decided that he" s not going to use them. She confessed that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, "I don"t like your dress; it"s ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
"Where did we go wrong?" her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
小题1:This text is most probably written by _______.
A.a headmaster of a middle school |
B.a specialist in teenager studies |
C.a parent with teenage children |
D.a doctor for mental health problems |
A.lazy | B.quiet | C.unusual | D.rude |
A.pay no attention to them |
B.feel helpless to do much about them |
C.are too busy to look after them |
D.have come to hate them |
A.Parents have no choice but to try to accept it. |
B.Parents should pay still more attention to the change. |
C.Parents should work more closely with school teachers. |
D.Parents are at fault for the change in their children. |
Good teachers make the growth of critical (批判性的) thinking easier in their students,only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs.Schools encourage parents to become involved,but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used.Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process.And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government.The rebellions (叛逆的)young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development.They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands,but their voices must be heard.
Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities.Indeed,sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting,just because it is not accepted by authority.Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts,know as much as possible about he lives of their children,provide a good example,encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them.But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.
小题1:By saying “Revolutions are led by the young”,the author indicates that young people are more___________________.
A.conventional | B.creative |
C.realistic | D.heartbreaking |
A.the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government |
B.schools encourage parents to question their education methods |
C.movement is satisfied with the new leaders’ attack on the policies |
D.teachers’ basic beliefs should be questioned by students |
A.forbid particular behaviors in their daily life |
B.know as much as possible as their children |
C.educate them with facts and expect much of them |
D.know them well and set a good example to them |
A.free parenting | B.traditional parenting |

The reality,however,is that most of us organize their time around work demands,school deadlines,commuting or social events.Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today"s fast-paced modem society.
But that doesn"t mean it isn"t worth trying.Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits.Disrupting our natural body rhythm,on the other hand,has been linked to problems such as depression,obesity,or headache,says Steve Key,a biology professor.
When the body clock can synchronize(使……同步)the rhythms of its natural processes,it “gives us an advantage in daily life”,says Key.
According to him,when it comes to cognitive(认知的)work,most adults perform best in the late morning.As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday,our memory,alertness and concentration gradually improve.
However,he adds,our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter.Most of us are more easily distracted(分心)between noon and 4 pm.
Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm,making that a good time for a nap.
Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers.For most adults,problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning.
When choosing a time of day to exercise,paying attention to your body clock can improve results.Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm,says Michael Smolensky,a professor of biomedical engineering.
Of course, not everyone"s body clock is the same,making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans.
小题1:If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can .
A.find out the suitable time to do specific tasks |
B.organize our time around work demands |
C.do whatever our body feels like doing |
D.be sure to be healthy |
A.Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm |
B.Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society. |
C.Obeying our body clock is good for our health. |
D.Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity. |
A.When our body clock synchronizes the rhythms of its natural processes,we can do better. |
B.When it comes to cognitive(认知的)work,most people perform best in the late morning. |
C.As body temperature rises before awakening in the morning,our concentration gradually improves. |
D.We concentrate better in the late morning than between noon and 4 pm. |
A.when we get up in the morning |
B.when we are tired in the evening |
C.when we are full of energy in the late morning |
D.when we are asleep at night |
A.What is natural body rhythm? |
B.Natural body rhythm is good for us. |
C.Something about natural body rhythm. |
D.The latest research about natural body rhythm. |
As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates.
