国家线还是没有出，但是，是时候把联系导师的简历写起来了！好好写简历，从一些平台上找找写的时候要注意些什么，跟求职的简历还是很不一样的！加油铁子们！

The Human Speechome Project
人类家庭语言计划
Thank you for joining us forSpotlight. I'm Liz Waid.
And I'm Joshua Leo.Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier forpeople to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
When Owen was born, hismother, Janice, took many pictures of him. Her camera was always busy! She tookpictures of Owen wearing funny hats. She took pictures of Owen taking a bath.She took pictures of Owen at the play area, in the car, with other babies, andwith the family's cats. Sometimes Janice also recorded Owen with a movingpicture, or video, camera. She watched her video recordings over and over. Shewanted to remember how Owen looked and acted as a baby. She wanted to keepthese memories for a very long time. When Owen grows older, he can also watchthese videos of himself as a baby.
Professor Deb Roy also takespictures and video of his baby, John. But Professor Roy has a different reason.Professor Roy is trying to discover how human babies learn language. He wantsto discover how a baby's environment shapes human development and learning.
Today's Spotlight is on theHuman Speechome Project.
The Roy family lives inMassachusetts, in the United States. Professor Roy works with computers. Hetries to build computers that can learn to communicate in human-like ways. Thismeans he first observes how humans communicate. Then he tries to build acomputer model of their behaviour. Building computer models helps him and hisresearch team to understand how people learn to communicate.

No one really knows howhuman babies learn language. Experts do know that communication is an importantpart of human development. And they know that babies learn and understand theirfirst language quickly. Children listen to the speech of their parents,brothers and sisters, and other family and community members. They try to makesounds of their own. They even try to form the words they hear. But manyexperts agree that listening is not the only way that children learn alanguage. So, how do babies learn to speak? That is the question that the HumanSpeechome Project is trying to answer.
The Human Speechome Projectwill try to record baby John as he learns new words. How will John's learningbe recorded? Well, Professor Roy has set up microphones and video recordingdevices all around his house. He put eleven cameras in different rooms. Thesecameras will record videos of people who enter or leave the room. He also putup fourteen microphones in rooms around his house. These microphones willrecord all of the sounds in his house.
The cameras and microphonesrecord data information for twelve to fourteen hours every day. They recordthree hundred and sixty five days a year. The recorded information goes to amain storage computer in Professor Roy's house. After a few days, ProfessorRoy's research team takes the stored information to their laboratory. There,several computers and human researchers all study it.
There is a lot ofinformation. So, computers do much of the work. Some computers look for simplerepeated processes or events that happen during the day. For example, thecomputers can recognize simple actions like cleaning the dishes after a meal.Researchers can see if these everyday, normal events affect language learning.And the computers keep the information organized. Researchers can then spendmore time studying importantevents like parent and child play time or feedings.
Some computers simply showhow and where people move through Professor Roy's house. But other computersare able to find repeated speech. Repeated speech patterns could be veryimportant in the process of learning language.
As baby John grows older hewill begin to form words. What will John's first words be? Who used those wordswhen he was present? Where were they when the person used those words? What wasJohn doing when he learned the words? Researchers will be able to look throughtheir computer records for the answers to these questions.
With all this information,Professor Roy wants to build another, final, computer as a model. He will enterthe collected information into the computer. Then the computer will modelJohn's experiences as a baby. Hopefully, the computer will "learn" by"hearing" and "seeing" the same sounds and images that Johnsaw as a baby. The computer will learn words and sentence structure just likeJohn did. And hopefully, the computer will be able to show Professor Roy andhis research team the process of how John, or any baby, learns language.
Professor Roy plans torecord his son until he is three years old. A healthy human baby can usuallyspeak his first language by this age.
Language is an importantpart of every person's life. Without language, people could not communicatewith each other. So, Professor Roy's work with language is very valuable.Success in the Human Speechome Project could lead to better treatment for peoplewho have trouble learning language. Or it could lead to computer programs thatcan learn to speak.
Observing a baby learninglanguage offers wonderful opportunities. But it also presents questions. Is itacceptable for Professor Roy to study his son's development like this?
And if the project succeeds,what will Professor Roy and his research team learn from the information theycollect? Will they begin to understand more about how people learn language?Will they be able to teach computers to learn a new language? For now, no onereally knows the answers to these questions. But in the future, people maybegin to understand more about how people learn language.
