"Hi, Mommy! What are you doing?" asked Susie, who was only six years old. " I'm making a casserole (炖锅菜) for Mrs. Smith next door, 1 Mrs. Smith is very sad. She lost her daughter and has a2 heart. We need to take care of her a little while. " said her mother. " Why, Mommy?"
"You see, Susie, when someone is very, very sad, they have3 doing the little things like making dinner or other housework. Because we're4 of a community and Mrs. Smith won't be able to talk with her daughter or hug her. You are a very5 girl, Susie, maybe you'll come up6 another way to help take care of Mrs. Smith. "
Susie thought7 about this challenge and how she could do her part on caring for Mrs. Smith. A few minutes8 , Susie knocked on her door. After a few moments, Mrs. Smith greeted the knock with a "Hi, Susie.
Susie noticed that Mrs. Smith didn't have that familiar musical quality about her voice when she greeted9 .

If you look closely around your city, you might spot hanful, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic (民族) group. The number of hanfiu buyers is increasing year by year. And the average age of buyers was 21, with about 52 percent between 19 and 24 years old.
But why has this traditional clothing become popular among young Chinese people? For some of them, it's a costume for relaxation. Dressing in hanfiu is a way for them to escape the troubles of real life. Other youngsters like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They regard it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves (袖子), crossed collars and flowing robes (袍子) bring people back to ancient times. Some people also believe that what's behind hanfu is the development of the Chinese civilization (文明). They need to pass down the traditional culture. Many Chinese people are taking a liking for hanfu, as it helps them build up their national identity (认同) and belonging.
Northeast China's Liaoning Province is all ready, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to catch those trying to cheat. Reports say AI will analyze (分析) students from exam rooms and then warn monitors (监督员) in the room, mostly teachers, to check if any student's body movements suggest dishonesty. The monitors will have the final say on whether students were indeed cheating.
This is the best example of technology being used to help human work. Earlier, it was left to one or two teachers to monitor 30 students writing the test in one exam room. AI can do a better job, but since it cannot finally say if a student is cheating, it is for the monitor in the room to check and decide the result. Such a model can help avoid mistakes out of carelessness while making it fairer.
The conflicts (冲突) between monitors and cheaters date back to the time when exams were introduced for choosing talent. In exams held for public office many hundred years ago, cheaters were known to carry papers with them to the exam room for cheating. Monitors were then asked to search their bodies before they sat for the exams.
In recent years, students sitting for the gaokao, which plays an important part in deciding which college they will successfully get into, have been known to use headphones connected to their telephones to get help from outside. In the early part of this century, machines screened all telephone signals coming from an exam center, so they can't be received.
Ten years later, cameras were used to help in monitoring. Then came metal detectors to check what students were carrying to the exam room And now, there's AI.
The technology progress will help with exams and make it fairer and truer. It is time for students to work harder for a better score.
a. Teachers finally decide the result.
b. AI warns teachers in the exam room.
c. AI analyzes students' body movements.
d. Teachers in the room check the student.
Losing something important can be a very anxious experience. If someone finds it and returns it to you, it is often a great relief. Authorities(部门)in Guangzhou have created a new regulation (规定) to encourage more people to return lost things.
The regulation says that people who hand in lost belongings will get 10 percent of the thing's value as a reward (奖励) from public security (公安) authorities. If the owner can't be found, the finder will still be rewarded with 10 percent of the thing's value after it is sold at a public auction (拍卖). The rewards will come from government funding.
The regulation has caused heated public debate. Opponents say that it will rob the act of its nobility (高尚). Such good deeds (行为) should be done out of selflessness, Qianjiang Evening News reported.
However, there are also people who welcome the regulation, saying it will encourage more people to do the right thing, Beijing Daily reported. After all, not everybody is willing to return lost property(财物) to its owner. Finders will have to take care of lost things and spend time looking for their owners.
The regulation gives finders the right to ask for a reward, which is in the best interests of both parties.
Countries like Japan and Germany have already had similar laws. According to Japan's Lost Goods
Law, people who find a lost thing should quickly return it to the owner or turn it over to the police. The owner should provide the finder with a reward of5 to 20 percent of the thing's value.

When he turned four, Su received his first snowboard and started to learn snowboarding. Despite (尽管) being even shorter than the snowboard, Su managed to slide down on his own quickly. And ever since then, Su has not taken the snow board off his feet, no matter winter or summer, day or night. Gradually, Su started taking part in competing against adults and traveling all over the world to train in a better environment.
It was a difficult decision for this young man to make, but Su finally chose snowboarding over becoming a movie star, because he wanted to become a professional athlete and compete in the Olympics.
"I successfully realized the dream that I've had since I was a kid. I've always dreamed about winning this gold medal before 18 years old. I made it," he said. "I also want everyone to know that I can not only be good at one thing, but I can be the best at anything I like. Today I proved (证明) it"
Su's experience is an inspiration to us. Hard work matters a lot.
|
A. Success requires much more than just talent. B. I've learned a lesson that hard work would never lie. C. Su's parents took him to ski resorts when he was just a toddler (蹒跚学步的孩童). D. Known as a talented young snowboarder, Su was more famous for his roles in movies and TV series. E. Just two years later, Su made such huge progress that it became difficult for his father to catch up with his speed. |
When I was a teenager, I did a six-week summer learning program at a college. It helped kids get a taste of what college is like. We had classes in the morning and evenings were filled with fun activities. We did have a break in the afternoons, however. One afternoon, my friend Claude and I found an old basketball court for a game of one-on-one.
At the time, Claude was taller than me, and he also did well in basketball. I fell behind fast. I was determined, though, sol drove hard to the basket - and missed it! The ball bounced off the rim (从篮筐弹回) and I jumped up to catch it. Just as I was about to catch it, I saw an elbow above my face.
As Claude grabbed the ball, his elbow came down hard, right into my eye. I saw stars everywhere. The pain was terrible. Claude kept saying "sorry" over and over and immediately took me to the medical office.
I knew I could blame him for this hurt, but I didn't. Instead, I laughed through the pain. I spent the next few days walking around with a black eye, but it was worth it. I regarded it as the symbol of the friendship between Claude and me. For years afterward, I got a laugh whenever I told the story and joked about Claude's elbows of death.
In this life, we all get an elbow to the eye sometimes. Our plans fail. Things work against us. Our ups become downs. When this happens, it's best to face it with laughter and forgiveness. In this way, you can turn your pain to joy and you can learn and grow.
