Graduation finally came. My classmates and I made up our minds do something. Someone suggested make a video to record our experiences at school and we agreed. Material collecting took us a whole week, during it we interviewed our teachers and took picture of every aspect of school life. The editing part after that was tough. We debated over what to put them into the video. Some disagreements were unavoidable, and the video turned out perfect. Several days later, when the video was played on a graduation ceremony, it was very popular for everyone. What a wonderfully time the students and teachers shared! That surely gives us a great sense of achievement.

    A business school in Paris will soon begin using artificial intelligence and facial analysis to determine whether students are paying attention in class. The software, called Nestr, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.

The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestor collects to improve the performance both students and professors. The software uses students' webcams(网络摄像头)to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students' attention declined, which could help to improve their teaching.

Advocates for AI in education say the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to a student's individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Such software could also help teachers by providing quantitative(定量的)feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching.

But AI programs rely on massive information of personal data. and there are concerns over how such data would be treated. Saucet says Nestor won't store any of the video footage(片段)it captures and that his company has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition, some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers.

Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the "black box of learning" by providing information on how and when learning happens. But she cautions(告诫)against adopting new technologies that, while alluring, may not actually respond to critical needs. She thinks a program like Nestor could be useful for students who take classes remotely, since "there isn’t a human there watching them". So Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement.

Sauce agrees. "Human contact is not going to go away, " he says. "There will always be professors."

1.How does Nestor work to tell whether students are paying attention?

A.By controlling the thoughts of students

B.By analyzing eye movements and facial expressions

C.By collecting all the data of students' performance in class

D.By reminding professors to pay more attention to students

2.What does the underlined word "alluring" probably mean in the fifth paragraph?

A.Attractive

B.Controversial

C.Limited

D.Alarming

3.What do people concern about Nestor?

A.It will teach courses in place of teachers.

B.Nestor won't store any information it collects.

C.It can prevent students from more effective studying habits.

D.It can't benefit the company by selling students' data it collects.

4.What is Rose Luckin's attitude towards using Nestor?

A.Favorable

B.Doubtful

C.Objective

D.Disapproving
