What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.
The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey(调查) on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-colored (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-colored (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.
But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.
Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its color, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the color, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.Many people in Western countries may think black cats are ______.

Many people thought a computer wasn't supposed to be able to beat a top master at the ancient Chinese game，Weiqi，for at least another 10 years．But AlphaGo，an artificially intelligent system（人工智能系统） designed by Google，made it．It easily beat Lee Sedol last year，one of the best players in the world．It challenged the world's top players to show how much progress it had made over the past few years．
In the late of May，2017，AlphaGo appeared in China and played against 19﹣year﹣old Ke Jie in Wuzhen，China．He is No.1 player now in the world．However，the result wasn't out of people's expectation．He lost the matches．Though Ke Jie tried his best and he once saw the victory just a step away，he lost his best chance when he became excited．
