When you play it, you do more than simply get points or have fun. As you play, you help computers develop new skills. Computer scientist Luis von Ahn created the games as a way to solve problems that are difficult for computers, even though the problems may seem simple to us. Computers, for example, have a hard time identifying a cat in a photo, while we can spot a cat at a glance.The idea is to invent online games that people enjoy playing. Then, as people play, they provide data that researchers can use to improve computers. The players don't know that they're helping out. They're just having fun.“The potentials huge，” says computer scientist Manuel Blum, one of von Ahn's colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “These games with a purpose make use of humans in a wonderfu l way.”By harnessing the brainpower of thousands of people playing games on the Internet, computers may learn how to identify pictures, translate Web pages into forms that blind people can use, develop common sense, understand foreign languages, and more.Our brains are made to collect and process lots of information about what we see,von Ahn says.Computers, on the other hand, simply “see” a grid of dark and light dots, called pixels. It's not obvious to a machine that a certain blob is a cat. Likewise a computer doesn't know that a tiger, a cartoon feline, and a kitty curled up on a couch all belong in the same category: cat.“If you give me an image of some common animal, I can tell you if it's a cat or a dog，” von Ahn says. “Computers can't do that yet.”Because computers can't make such distinctions, search engines have a hard time finding images on the Internet, and getting people to label each image doesn't work well. There are billions of images, and the job is pretty boring.1．The new kind of game on the Internet created by Luis von Ahn can mainly________.A．help us have fun at any timeB．help the computer spot a catC．help the computer solve problemsD．help us relax by playing it2．People like playing online games because________.A．they enjoy having fun by playing themB．they want to improve their playing skillsC．they want to make money by playing gamesD．they want to solve the problems with computers3．The main difference between our brains and computers is that________.A．we can identify everything while computers can't do it at allB．the computers do what people tell them to, which we can not doC．our brains can collect information while computers can only identify dots D．we can recognize a computer while a computer can not recognize us 4．Computer scientists control the brainpower of people playing games on the Internet to________.A．get personal information to make lots of moneyB．make computers faster and safer than beforeC．ask them to translate Web pages into forms that blind people can use D．get information to solve problems that are difficult for computers5．We can learn from the passage that________.A．people may refuse to play online games when they know what they are for B．more and more online computer games may be createdC．people's brains will become better after they play computer games D．scientists will solve the problems with the help of game players参考答案与解析一、1.A behave oneself守规矩，符合句意。
