Inspirational teachers of the future will be intelligent machines rather than humans, the vice-chancellor of the University of Buckingham predicts. Within 10 years a technological revolution will sweep aside old notions of education and completely transform the education system, Sir Anthony Sheldon believes. School teachers will lose their traditional role and become little more than classroom assistants. They will remain on hand to set up equipment, help children when necessary and maintain discipline, Sir Anthony said. However, the essential job of instilling knowledge into young minds will wholly be done by artificially intelligent (AI) computers, he said. Everyone can have the very best teacher and it's completely personalized; the software you're working with will be with you throughout your education journey. In the AI classrooms, each child will progress at his or her own pace, said Sir Anthony.
白金漢大學(xué)副校長謝爾頓爵士預(yù)測，將來啟迪人心的教師將由智能機(jī)器而非人類擔(dān)任。他認(rèn)為，10年內(nèi)技術(shù)革命將改變老式教育觀念，并將徹底改變教育系統(tǒng)。學(xué)校的教師將失去傳統(tǒng)的職責(zé)，變得和助教差不多。謝爾頓爵稱，人類教師仍將在教室內(nèi)安裝設(shè)備，必要時(shí)幫助孩子們并維持紀(jì)律。不過，向年輕人灌輸知識的重要工作將全部由人工智能(AI)電腦來完成。他表示，每個(gè)人都能擁有最好且完全是量身打造的教師。和你一起學(xué)習(xí)的軟件將伴你度過整個(gè)求學(xué)之路。在AI的課堂上，每個(gè)孩子都將按照自己的步調(diào)學(xué)習(xí)。

>Housework keeps you fit
研究:做家務(wù)能助你瘦身

Forget about going to the gym or signing up for yoga. New research suggests you can stay in shape by simply doing the housework. A study by the Good Housekeeping Institute found that dusting, mopping and cleaning the bathroom are all effective ways to burn calories without leaving the house. Results showed that people burned an average of 600 calories doing just two hours of intense household chores - nearly double the 374 calories burned during a 5 km run - with window cleaning topping the list as the most taxing task. People burn an average of 115 calories in just 20 minutes when they clean windows, according to the study. Mopping the floor came in second place with 107 calories burned while cleaning the bathroom burned 100 calories in 20 minutes - the equivalent to two KitKat fingers.
忘掉去健身房或報(bào)瑜伽班吧，最新研究顯示，只需通過做家務(wù)你就能保持身材。好管家研究所進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，除塵、拖地、清潔浴室都是足不出戶就能燃燒卡路里的有效方法。結(jié)果顯示，只要集中做兩小時(shí)的家務(wù)，人們平均就能消耗600卡路里，幾乎是跑5公里所消耗的374卡路里的一倍，其中擦窗戶冠居最費(fèi)力家務(wù)活之首。研究顯示，人們在擦窗戶時(shí)，僅擦20分鐘平均就會燃燒115卡路里。拖地排名第二，拖20分鐘地可消耗107卡路里；而清潔浴室20分鐘可消耗100卡路里——相當(dāng)于兩條奇巧巧克力所含的熱量。
