A
Never play games with a bt (rbt)—it will find a way t cheat if it can.A team frm OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisc, has develped artificially intelligent bts that taught themselves t cperate by playing hide­and­seek.The bts als learned hw t use basic tls t help win.
Bwen Baker at OpenAI and his clleagues wanted t see if the team­based dynamics f the OpenAI Five culd be used t prduce skills that culd ne day be useful t humans.
The researchers set their bts lse in a simulated (模拟的)envirnment filled with fixed walls, mvable bxes and ladders, and left them t play team games f hide­and­seek.The bts each had their wn view f the wrld and culdn't cmmunicate with each ther directly.
At first, the hiders simply ran away.But they sn wrked ut that the quickest way t stp the seekers was t find bjects in the envirnment t hide themselves frm view.The seekers learned that they culd mve bxes arund and use them t climb ver walls.The bts then discvered that being a team­player—passing bjects t each ther r cperating n a hideut—was the quickest way t win.
But the real surprise came when the bts started making use f prblems r faults.Seekers fund that if they pushed a ladder twards a wall, they culd launch themselves int the air and spt hiders frm abve.Hiders fund that they culd get rid f the ladders by pushing them aside.
It shws that AI bts are able t find slutins that humans miss, says Baker.“Maybe they'll even be able t slve prblems that humans dn't yet knw hw t.”Hwever, it is a large leap(跳跃)frm virtual hide­and­seek t real prblem­slving.“The main limitatin is that it is in simulatin，”says Chelsea Finn at Stanfrd University.

As a muntain, 1，642­ft Squaw Peak isn't particularly challenging.But its inviting views f western Massachusetts have tricked hikers t its steep (陡峭的) and slippery cliffs, resulting in cuntless injuries and even deaths.
Henry Grant, a freshman at Ithaca Cllege, was well aware f the danger f Squaw Peak.Thus he stayed ten feet frm the edge while waiting fr his mther t catch up t him ne day in August 2019, He watched 15 r s ther hikers enjy the scenery; ne hiker, arund 60 and dressed in pink, was admiring the view ver the lip f the cliff with her husband.
When Grant's mther rejined him, the tw turned t cntinue n their way.Suddenly, he heard a thump (撞击声), and anther thump.Then he heard smething frightening: “Paula! Paula！” a man yelled wildly.Grant turned arund.The wman in pink was nwhere t be seen.She'd fallen ff the side f the muntain.
Several hikers immediately started lking fr her, but their view was blcked by trees.Grant tld his mther, “I hate t say this, but they're prbably ging t find a bdy.” Uncertain they culd help, Grant and his mther headed dwn the trail.
But when he saw hikers still searching, he decided t lend a hand.After assuring his mther that he wuld be safe, he made his way dwn the muntain alne, hping he wasn't t late.
After 15 minutes f pushing past the brush and slipping dwn the trail, Grant sptted a figure abut 25 feet abve him.She was dressed in pink, in a kneeling psitin n a small rcky utcrpping (突出处)．
The wman had fallen abut 75 feet.Amazingly, she was alive.“Paula！” Grant shuted.“Paula! Is that yu？” The wman barely respnded.She was hurt and her mind was nt s clear.Grant called 911 t reprt her lcatin.He waited where he was fr a bit, but she kept trying t mve, and every time she mved, she slipped a little mre.

【参考范文】
Afraid that she might slip ff, Grant crawled (爬)until he reached Paula.Paula's mind is still fgged and she instinctively wanted t run away when she sensed smene appraching because she didn't knw if it was an animal r a persn.Wrried that she might fall, Grant cntinued t ffer wrds f cmfrt until Paula recgnized what he was saying and quieted dwn.Grant tld her that he had called the plice and that they needed t stay where they were and waited fr help, and that he wuld be here with her the whle time.
Abut 35 minutes later, first rescuers arrived.Grant heard ftsteps and rescuers calling, and respnded as lud as he culd.Rescuers quickly fund them.Rescuers tk Paula t a car n a stretcher and tk her t a hspital fr emergency treatment.Luckily, Paula recvered after a while.Paula's husband went with her t thank Grant fr saving his life.Grant felt that what the climb had taught him was hw fragile and precius life is.
