Luxembourg makes all public transport free
One square meter Luxembourg makes all public transport free.With a population of602,000, Luxemb
ourg is one of Europe’s(21)__________(small)countries—yet it suffers from major traffic jams.But that could be about to change.As of March1,2020all public transport—trains, trams and bus—in the country is now free.The government hopes the
move(22)__________ (ea)heavy crowding and bring environmental benefits.
Tiny country,big traffic
(22)__________(landlock)Luxembourg which is surrounded by three countries is one of the richest countries in Europe.

High housing costs,especially in Luxembourg City,mean more than180,000of the country’s workforce make regular journeys from tho neighboring countries every day. Luxembourg is a very attractive place for jobs.But(26)__________“booming economy”and high concentration of jobs have led to crowding issues.
In2016,Luxembourg had662cars per1,000people,and driving is a“primary means of transportation”for people.That
year,drivers in Luxembourg City spent an average of33hours in traffic jams.It fared wor than European cities Copenhagen and Helsinki,(27)__________ have comparable population sizes to all of Luxembourg—yet drivers in both only spent an average of24hours in traffic.Park and rides around Luxembourg’s borders in the three neighboring countries,however,will encourage commuters to u free mass transit.
Free transport for all
Luxembourg’s public transport system covers the whole country and costs$562million per year to run.The government is putting up the cost of it free so that the people can benefit from the good economy.People still hold the

(29)____________________walking500meters,people e a bus coming and they say,“We can get on and
travel500meters(30)__________it’s free”.However,the new scheme can
signal important changes ahead when it comes to Luxembourg’s reliance on driving.

At the Oscars,Parasite Makes Best Picture History
At Sunday’s Oscars,on a night when almost everything went as planned and as usual,the one true surpri came in the biggest moment of all.
For the first time ever,a film in a foreign language won Best Picture when Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite,a comedy-drama-thriller about class and crets,took the big prize.Bong also won the awards for Best Director and Best Original
Screenplay.He___31___three warm and generous speeches,including one when he won for his directing and thanked fellow nominees(被提名的
⼈)Martin Scor and Quentin Tarantino for inspiring him and contributing to the progress of his career,___32___.
And,while he gave most of his speeches in Korean with interpreter Sharon Choi,when he won the first one,he stopped and noted in English:“This is very first Oscar to South Korea.”The affection in the room for the film was___33___every time it was mentioned,as well as in its great competition of award.The evening began three and a half hours earlier with a(n)___34___ of the old and the new:the kind of themed singing-dancing number that ud to be the___35___ Oscars opening,but in the abnce of a traditional host,it was performed by the thoroughly modern Janelle Monáe.A version of her own song Come Alive was___36___by dancers dresd in costumes showing respect to black filmmakers.The speech that
followed,however,was much more___37___and unpleasant,despite the best efforts of Chris Rock and Steve Martin,the latter of whom___38___blew the name of best actress nominee Cynthia Erivo.
The awards in general have been heavily criticized for how white the nominees are,the failure to nominate any women directors in a year when veral made highly regarded films,and plenty of other lack of inclusivity.The
Academy’s___39___with that criticism emed evident: There may not have been a lot of performers of color among the nominees,but there were a lot among the prenters and speakers and performers.Several prenters made mention of the ___40___at issue,which is the kind of thing that happens when people are placed in a situation they don’t want to ignore but also aren’t there to challenge too much.

Facial-Recognition Technology Cannot Read Emotions
Do not believe claims that facial-recognition technology can accurately identify people’s emotions,advid veral scientists at the2020AAAS Annual Meeting in Seattle.
Such claims that a photo of a face can be easily___41___are bad on a flawed theory that we smile when we are happy and scowl(沉下脸)when angry,said Professor Aleix Martinez.“There’s no w
ay that technology will ever be able to
detect___42___that you’re experiencing following that approach,”Martinez said.
Rearch shows that,on average,people scowl only30%of the time that they are angry, said Lisa Feldman Barrett,professor of psychology at Northeastern University.The rest of the time,they make other faces when they are angry,she
said.___43___,people may scowl for other reasons—“when they’re concentrating,when someone tells them a bad joke,”she said.“Any AI that is claiming to detect a scowl and interpreting it as anger has some real___44___.”
So much goes into communicating our emotions beyond our___45___movements.Other factors involving little u of language include our body po,body movement and hormone respons like tho that cau one’s face to go red from embarrassment or___46___,said Martinez.
Martinez offered an example of the importance of having enough information.For instance, when he showed people a photo of a___47___man with his mouth wide open and his eyes nearly clod,most thought the man was extremely angry,his rearch showed.Yet anyone viewing the cont
ext—that the subject was a soccer player—could___48___that he was displaying excitement while celebrating a goal.
A mistake like this may not matter much,but so-called emotion-recognition technology has a larger reach.The technology’s___49___to incorporate facial movements could have rious, even dangerous outcomes,said Martinez.AI is sometimes ud in classrooms,in the judicial(司法的)system and in hiring for jobs,he noted.Many of the systems learn from U.S.and European data___50___by white people.Such inputs could negatively impact,for instance,the hiring of candidates of other races,Martinez said.“I think we have to take riously the___51___ in which this AI is being ud,”said Barrett.
Seth Pollak,professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,shared rearch about the___52___of our ability to understand facial expressions and emotions.For veral decades,scientists thought that infants arrived into the world with a little understanding about emotions,Pollak said.To the contrary,babies do not express___53___emotions.They have a distress system that broadcasts whether they are OK or not.Children learn about emotions beyond good or bad,and rearch shows that even with incredibly brief levels of exposure to contextual information,very young children start to change how they___54___their inferences
about other people’s emotions.“Human brains are actually able to___55___patterns and make inferences about what might be happening at a sophisticated computational level with actually very little experience.”he said.
