Aproteinis a large, complexmacromolecule composed ofoneor more longchains ofamino
acids (氨基酸). Present in and vital to every living cell, proteins are essential for the structure,
function,andregulation ofthe body’s tissues andorgans.Yet,beforeFrederick Sanger — oneof
onlytwopeopletoeverreceivetwoNobelPrizesinthesamecategory — littlewasknownabout
proteinsandthesequence(排序)oftheiraminoacidchains.
FrederickSangergraduatedwithadoctorateinbiochemistryfromSt.John'sCollegein1943.
Yet,itwasn’tuntilhisworkwithinsulin(胰岛素)thatSangerdifferentiatedhimselfinthefieldof
chemistry. His first true accomplishment occurred when he successfully determined the complete
amino acid sequence of two protein chains in bovine(牛) insulin in the early 1950s. His research
3/13
学科网（北京）股份有限公司provedthatproteinshaveadefinedchemicalcomposition,andheeventuallyconcludedthatevery
protein had a unique sequence. In 1958, Sanger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for
showing how amino acids link together to form insulin, and, therefore, providing the tools for
scientiststoanalyzeanyproteininthebody.
He went on to think about the ideas of how DNA codes for proteins. Together with another
scientist, Sanger published the “Plus and MinusTechnique,”a sequencing procedure to determine
the order of the chemical bases which spell out the genetic code for all living things. When he
designedamoreefficientmethodin1977,henameditthe“SangerMethod”.The“SangerMethod”
allows long stretches of DNA to be rapidly and accurately sequenced, which earned him his
secondNobelPrizeinChemistryin1980. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
This method eventually allowed scientists to decode the three billion letters of the human
genetic code, giving science the ability to distinguish between normal and abnormal genes. In the
same way, Sanger’s work directly contributed to the development of biotechnology drugs like
humangrowthhormone.

Many sayartificial intelligence is the biggest invention sincethe Internet.The sudden rise of
largelanguage modelslike ChatGPThasfueled thehype(大肆宜传)to ahigher level—AI will be
thecommon language theworld speaks andhumans canbuild theTower ofBabelagain.With the
technology in hand,it seems spendingthousands of hours to master a different tongue is simply a
wasteoftime.
Duolingo’s co-founder and CEO Luis von Ahn has a different opinion He said it’s still
worthwhile for people to learn a new language despite the rapid advancement of AI powered
translation technology in the past decade. “Computers are better than humans playing chess.And
therearemorepeopleplaying chessnowthanthere’sever been,”said vonAhn.“People justwant
todocertainthingsevenifcomputersaregoodatit.
According to Duolingo's research, the majority of new language learners agreed learning a

Luis von Ahn co-founded Duolingo in 2011, which offers customized learning exercises,
immediate feedback and gamification(游戏化). The platform provides equal access with over 40
languages to everyone who wants to learn. Last year,the company even rolled outsessions forits
first dialect language - Cantonese. The app attracted many Mandarin leaners as well. Their
primary motivation to try the language was for “intellectual(智力的) development,” according to
thecompany. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
Duolingo has appliedAI technology to the language learning platform since day one.With a
powerfulAI tool,itcanprovide conversationsbasedonprevious exchangeswith theusertomake
language leaning more natural. The AI can understand the sentences and react to the input from
learnerstokeeptheconversationgoing.
The goal for the language learning app for von Ahn himself, is to operate on par with a
human tutor. He said Duolingo is already as effective as study in a classroom. “I think with AI,

The great British public loves two things: dogs and banning things. What happens when the
twopassionsbumpintoeachother?
To answer that, consider the dilemma of the Bully XL, a dog that has huge, powerful jaws
and can grow to be 60kg. To fans the creature is a gentle giant. To campaigners, it is a threat
behindasharpincreaseinfatalattacks.
After a man was killed by a pair of the dogs in Staffordshire on September 14th, the
government sided with the campaigners. Adopting the serious manner of a prime minister
declaringwar,RishiSunaksaidthattheBullyXLwouldbebannedbytheendoftheyear.
Although they account for barely 1% of all dogs, Bully XL carry out almost half of all
reported attacks, says Bully Watch, a campaign group. The data are not exact, as not all dog bites
are recorded. But nor are they equal. Gentle bites from a Chihuahua are one thing; an attack by a

Before the Bully can be banned, however, the government is struggling to define (定义) it.
Only then would it be added to a list of four existing illegal breeds (品种) with consequences for
anyonewhoowns,sells,breedsorabandonsthem.
Lawyers argue that the law used, the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991, is a mess. Animal

We then randomly assigned students to either our intervention or a study skills module. Our

study skills module had a similar set of exercises but with an emphasis on building classic skills,

Australian researchers say they have produced the most complete history of the universe by
mapping to date, saying the study 56 (offer) new ideas about how the universe might
have started. The first map shows temperature and density of the universe 57 it
expanded and cooled, the second map 58 (illustrate) the mass and size of all objects in
the universe. The study suggests the universe may have started as 59 is known as an
instanton (瞬子), not a singularity(奇点).An instanton has a defined size and mass.Asingularity
60 (define) as a point of huge density and temperature. Put 61 (simple), this would
mean that the beginning of the universe was not infinite(无限的) 62 size, which is
importantto researchersbecause theysay whatlies beyondthe 63 (limit) ofthe universe
is also a major mystery. Perhaps the research into the beginning of the universe could help to
answer some basic 64 (science) questions aboutlife beyond Earth.The basic idea is that
if we can figure out how we got there, maybe we can make better guesses about 65
