Zhang Xirui from Shenzhen recently won a prize in a scientific competition for his great invention—a homework collecting robot. Let's get to know about it.
At school, students pass their school work 1 different hands, from their group leader to the subject leader, and finally to the teacher. It might not sound too 2 , but sometimes it can go wrong and take a lot of time. To help with this problem, Zhang came up with 3 useful tool—a smart homework collecting robot.
The robot is made of a reader and a special tag (标签) that can communicate without 4 each other. This way, it can help find and know 5 it is looking for. Each student's notebook has a special tag with his name and the subject on it. Students only need to place 6 notebooks on the robot. The machine "sees" the notebook, reads its tag and 7 it out of the name list. Teachers can connect their phones with the robot through Wi-Fi to find out if someone hasn't handed in his homework.
Zhang dreams of becoming a scientist when he grows up. He 8 making some model airplanes and other scientific and creative things so far. "Inventing makes me happy," he told Shenzhen TV.
The robot is Zhang's second model. As he has told Shenzhen TV, he's planning to make a third one. He hopes to develop this robot 9 it can read lots of tags from far away. That means if a special tag 10 on your notebook, the robot can read the information from a lot of notebooks at once.

Playing Safely in Cold Weather
Children can play outside all year long. They just need to be dressed for the cold. Staying dry and active will also help them stay comfortably outside longer. These tips are also useful to adults.
Watch for wind.
In winter, the wind draws more heat from the body. Windy days can feel much colder. The temperature might be -5℃, but it can feel like -20℃with the wind. Check the weather before going outside, and stay inside if it goes below -27℃.
Cover all parts of your body.
In temperture below -27℃, body parts that are not covered can freeze in 10 to 30 minutes. Keep the face warm with a neck warmer, a hat or a scarf.
Protect your mouth and face.
The wind and cold can make the surface of your body very dry. Use protection products to keep it wet.
Dress in layers (层) .
Wear layers with an outer layer that is good against the wind. Don't wear cotton in cold weather. A thick coat made of wool (羊毛) is a good choice.
Know about dangers in the cold.
If you can't feel your hands, face or feet, or if they are pale, this could be a sign of frostbite (冻伤) . When this happens, head inside right away, and warm the body part slowly with your hands or warm (not hot!) water. If the temperature is much too low, it will be dangerous to stay outside for a long time without enough clothes.
Should we put every job in the hands of machines? Should we develop non-human minds that might finally become smarter than humans and finally replace us? Should we risk losing control of our own future? These questions were asked by many scientists last month in a science meeting.
In most people's mind, the rapid development of AI is of great help to humans. For example, Al has helped humans develop new medicine and design new materials to help with climate change.
When ChatGPT, a program developed by OpenAI, was first open to the public, a million people used it within a week, and the number rapidly rose to 100 million within two months. It was widely used to do things like writing articles and creating speech articles.
However, some people are starting to worry. Will AI go against humans one day? Will AI take our place and all the people lose their jobs? Will bad people use AI to harm others?
These worries make scientists stop developing AI and start to think about how we can make better use of this technology. Most of them agree that laws should be made to make sure that AI is used in a safe way.
Many governments are already taking action, though differently. For example, the UK, as well as the US, opens its arms for AI without any rules other than present ones because it regards it as a huge market. But Germany is more careful. It puts uses of AI in different areas into different levels of risk. Uses in some areas are not allowed, and companies that break the rules will be punished.
Making laws is the governments' duty. For us common people, it may be more important to think about what we can do in order to work better with AI.
Among any three people. I will get something to learn for sure. Do not do to others what you do not want done to you. Keep reviewing and get new understandings, then you can be a teacher. Is it not a happy thing to have friends coming from far away? I examine myself many times daily. | A. Li Tong keeps a diary. In it, she writes about something she has done nicely as well as something she needs to improve. She thinks it can help her make progress every day. B. Michael likes to keep his desk clean, so he always puts his rubbish in the case of Lily's desk, which makes her very angry. C. Tony, Tom and Jack are good friends. Tony is good at English and history. Tom is good at maths and politics while Jack is good at Chinese, chemistry and physics. They often study together and help each other. D. John is always busy doing something. But if you ask him about his future plan. he always says that he has no time to think about the future. E Lucy was too excited to fall asleep last night because he kept thinking about the coming summer vacation. Her good friend Kate has decided to fly from Beijing to visit her. F. It's hard to believe that three years has passed by. Many students start to regret not putting their time to good use. G. My classmate Yin Xuan is called Little Teacher by us. She often helps us with study. When she is asked how she does so well in her study. she says. "That's simple. Just go over the lessons over and over again." |
