Tom shook his money box again.
Nothing! He put all 1coins on the bed and carefully counted them. All that he had was $20.5. He wanted a bicycle, but it was at least $60. 2could he get the rest of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out with people since he was the only one without a bicycle. He thought about3. He couldn't get money from his parents,4he knew they didn't have enough money.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn it by5. He had to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Green for6.
"Well, you can start right here," said Mr. Green." You see, my windows need7 and my car needs washing". That was the beginning of Tom's part-time job. For the next three days, he worked8 every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks and cleaned rooms.
The day finally came when Tom got his money and found it was $82. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to buy the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward9 showing his new bicycle to his friends. Tom liked his bicycle very much because he had bought it with his own money. At last, his dream came true.

Experts(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see1children study late. They will think their children work very 2, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still 3, begging(请求) for one 4 minute to sleep. Like thousands of students who are called "early birds" in China, he has to get up before six every5.
A report 6 that without a good night's sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only 7why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games 8into the night.
Experts have once said that the students should develop 9study habits. So some clever students 10study late, and they are able to work well in class.
Jessi remembers that when she and Joey first started staying home alone, they weren't allowed to open the door for anyone or invite any friends to their home. Now Jessi's allowed to invite over any friend that her mum knows well.
Every family has different home alone rules. Here are some common rules:
"Closed door" policy (原则)
•Don't open the door for anyone except a brother, sister or parent.
•Keep all doors locked, at all times.
Checking in
•When you get home, call your parents to let them know that everything's OK.
Phone calls
•Only pick up the phone if it's a parent, relative, or friend who your parents know.
•If you answer the phone and the person asks for a parent, just say that he or she is busy and can't come to the phone. Never tell a stranger on the phone that you're home alone!
Snacks
•If you feel nervous about using appliances like the oven(烤箱), you may have some snacks instead of cooking food yourself.
Visiting friends
Most children have a rule that no friends are allowed in the house when they're home alone. This may be no fun but in the end, is safe for everyone.
Staying inside
Your parents may want you to stay at home and not go anywhere-- not even a friend's house, park, or store.
No Internet
Many parents, including Jessi and Joey's mum, ask their children to wait until a parent is home before going online.
These rules are very important. Follow them when you're home alone.
Artificial intelligence (人工智能), or AI in short, is the science of giving computers and machines ability to think and work like humans.AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.
AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result, facial recognition (识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to identify criminals (罪犯). Once they caught a criminal when he attended a concert. It also checks the ID of ride-hailing (网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.
AI is also used in self-driving cars, which are believed to be the future of driving. Most drivers may wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street, but self-driving cars don't have this ability. Car makers are testing a light signal system to help them "speak" to humans. The system can show what self-driving cars will do. For example, if a driverless car is yielding (让路), it will flash two white lights side to side. A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up.
Service Robots also show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this—you come back home from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano, just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world. In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers.
AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs.

While Singles Day is usually for online, a lot of shopping on Black Friday is done at actual stores. Shoppers look for things especially on electronic products, as televisions, computers and video game systems. These things usually haveprices, but on this day, a few of them are sold at the very low sale prices. So people often fight over these things.
Some people will in line for hours before midnight when stores finally open. People camp out in the cold and sometimes get hurt the doors are opened and people rush in.
, lately a few stores will start sales even earlier on Thanksgiving Day. They do this to hopefully get shoppers and stay ahead of the competition.
