1、Libraries around the world hold millions of old books. These books are important parts of our history and culture. However, many of them are in poor condition. Some pages become weak, and the words on them may become difficult to read. Some words are even missing. Luckily, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now helping to save these old books.
How does AI do this? First, workers take clear digital pictures of the old pages. Then, the AI system studies these pictures carefully. It looks at the words around the empty spaces and guesses what the missing words might be. This helps to complete the book digitally without touching the original one, which could be easily damaged.
Once a book is digitally repaired, it can be transformed into an e-book or added to an online database. ▲ . For example, a student living in a small village can now read a special old book online. Before, he might have to travel to a big city library to see it.
AI can also help organize these digital books. It can sort them by their topics, time, or writers. This makes it much easier for students and teachers to find the information they need quickly.
Using AI to save old books is a new and good way to protect our history. It serves as a powerful bridge connecting the past with the future, ensuring that the wisdom and stories contained in these old books will not be forgotten and will continue to teach people in the future.

Scientists once did a study on two - month - old babies. They found that of every five babies, one was very active(活跃的). And one of every five babies was always quiet. These babies might be shy when they grew up.
