Protein-rich productsfromcerealtocoffeearealloversupermarketshelves,butmounting evidence in nonhuman animals suggests that cutting back on our intake could slow ageing and extendlifespan. According to the latest review of the evidence, "'increasingproteinindiets,beyondwhafsneeded,for sedentary （久坐的）individuals or animals leadsto metabolic（新陈代谢的）issues and can lead to shorter lifespan,5, says Dudley Lamming at the University ofWisconsin-Madison.

While mTORC 1 ordinarily stimulates cell growth, reducing its activity boosts cellularrepair.

All this suggests that the recent trend to increase our protein intake is probably fine among peoplewho exercise regularly, because they may need more protein to repair muscle damage, but eating morethan is needed could be harmful.Beyondbuildingmuscleandpreventingillness,thereismixedevidence on whether a higher protein intake helps with ageing.DonaldLaymanattheUniversityofIllinois Urbana-Champaign points out that protein metabolism in humansmightbeadifferentstory.Protein restriction,therefore,mayaffectmTORClpathwaysdifferentlybetweenthedifferentspecies,he says.

A powerful AI has recently made headlines after its existence was unintentionally revealed to havethe ability to hack computers without punishment. CreatedbyAnthropic,anAIgiant,Mythoscanidentifycybersecurity（网络安全）flawsinseconds,leavingoperatingsystemsandsoftwarevulnerable

to hackers （黑客）.Anthropic claims that, if asked, Mythos can discover vulnerabilities in any software.

However, under aprogramcalledProjectGlasswing,Anthropichasdecidedtomakeitavailableto aselectedgroupoftechandfinancegiants-includingAmazon,Apple,Google,andMicrosoft-sothat they can detect any bugs intheir own systems before someone else does. Meanwhile, members ofa private online forum havealsomanaged to gain access tothe trial.Kevin Curran at Ulster University,UK, notes that the potential capabilities of Mythos have triggered alarm across thesecurityindustry,although researchers remain divided on how serious the threat actuallywas.

Nevertheless, it seems that it isn't time to panic yet. BobbyHolleyatFirefox,oneoftheorganizations given access to Mythos, wrote in a blog post that the model helped his team find 271 vulnerabilities in the company's web browser, yet that none was so remarkablycomplexthat a humananalyst couldn't have found. The UK's AI SecurityInstitute（AISI）hasalsoinvestigatedMythos.Intests, it was found to be capable of attacking only small, weakly defendedandvulnerableenterprisesystems. No evidence was found that genuinely secure software or networks would be at risk. Still, the institute cautioned that such models are improvingfast.

Alan Woodward at the University of Surrey, UK, has a practical view-Mythos isnotnecessarilycapable of finding vulnerabilities that a human wouldn't, but it's just so muchfaster,thoroughandrelentless. Hence, it's findingvulnerabilitiesthathumanshavemissed.Inessence,CCAIismaking—and will continue to make-both hacking and defendingfromhackerseasier： heexplains,ccbutthosewho ignore the technology will find themselves at a big disadvantage75

32.What do we know aboutMythos?

A.It went publicaccidentally.

C. It has brought more profits than expected.

33.What does Project Glasswing aim todo?

A.Mythos is no match for humanexperts.

B.Mythos is no better than previousmodels.

C.Panic over Mythos might be overestimated.

D.Improvements of Mythos is needed forsecurity.

B. It is available to netizens globally.

D. It has made headlines for its vulnerabilities.

B. Ease the panic overMythos.

D. Help identify softwarebugs.

35.Which of the following might Alan Woodward agreewith?
