Số báo danh : ........................ Read the passage and choose the best answer Even though she's just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five languages. She's a good reader. She can tell time and do simple math, including multiplication and division. She's not a prodigy. She's just good programming. Cindy looks like an average doll, with long, blond hair, babyblue eyes, and a button nose. But loaded with some devices, Cindy is the first doll that can see, think, and do as she's told. The eagleeyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sony's barking Robot Aibo, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late 1990s. Cindy takes Aibo's innovations one step beyond: she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors, and words and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears to be learning. The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent a decade trying to see how much human nature it could breathe into an inanimate object. Its engineers began researching basic and affordable artificial intelligence, creating minibots that sense light, sounds, and pressure. However, without the sense of sight, their toys seemed to be lacking one of the keenest abilities that life forms use to react to their environment. So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindy's case, it's a multistep process. When presented a text like "I love you" and asked "Can you read this?" Cindy identifies it as one of 70 preprogrammed commands. Then the inbuilt digital camera scans a 15degree radius in search of number or lettershaped objects.
