When I was five years old, I lived with my family in my grandma' s old house. It was very old and small, but we were 1 there. We didn' t have a lot of money, but we grew our own 2 to eat and made our own clothes.
Every day after school, I would 3 outside and wait for my dad to come home from work. He worked on 4 all day for drivers. When he got home, he was tired with oil on his hands. So the first thing he would do is to 5 his hands. Then he sat in his old chair while mom and grandma were making dinner. After dinner, I loved 6 onto his back and watching TV together. His hands were strong, and I always felt 7 and loved.
Now I am 55 years old and the oldest person in my family. I have some health problems, but I still remember those happy times with my dad 8 . I wish I could go back and sit with him in that old 9 one more time, just to 10 him how much I love him and thank him for making me feel so happy and loved as a child.

Born in the 14th century, Naxi ancient music is one of the world' s oldest music types. The Naxi ethnic group（纳西族）living in Yunnan created it with their own instruments. But today, few people can hear it or even know of it.
" One of my classmates is from the Naxi ethnic group," Liu Yunong told Teens. " When she talked about this endangered music, I thought we should do something right at once!"
The 15-year-old from Tianjin No. 1 Middle School is a music lover and guzheng player. Together with other classmates, she set up a project to spread the popularity of Naxi music among young people.
" How to attract（吸引）young people in a fun way is the most difficult job," said Liu. " So we came up with the idea of using comic strips（连环画）to introduce Naxi music. "
In the comics they created, the leading role is a girl named Su Xiaodu. Her name comes from sugudu, a musical instrument of Naxi culture. After a boy named Liu Nana visited a Naxi cultural museum, Su came into his life, and the story began.
" Many of our schoolmates loved this form of storytelling, and it successfully attracted 300 people to attend our online activity during the winter holiday, where we introduced some basics of Naxi music," Liu said.
" We also planned to invite Xuan Ke, a well-known Naxi musician to give us a lecture（讲座）. But it was a pity that Mr Xuan went to his rest at 93 in early January. His death made us all realize the importance of protecting traditional music," Liu added.
After the online activity, some young people recorded videos of themselves playing Naxi music pieces, such as Shan Po Yang, on piano or guzheng. " When we received the videos, we felt everything was worth it," said Liu.
Lisa, a 14-year-old girl, from the USA, used an app to make her dream come true. She tried it out on a childhood photo of her mother. Guess what? In the old photo, her mother, a little girl at that time, began to smile at her. It sounds like Harry Potter' s moving photos, doesn' t it?
It' s not magic, but a real thing. The app that Lisa used is called My Heritage. By using an AI technology, the app allows users to animate(使……成为动画) still photos. The technology is the work of D-ID, an Israeli(以色列的) company. At the beginning, they designed it to bring photos of people in history to life. This means you can see them blink(眨眼), and even turn their heads. Now Americans find it fun and many are giving it a try with their old photos. Millions of users have watched their loved ones come to life in old photos.
The service is easy to use. First download(下载) the app. Next, click(点击) on the menu and choose " photo" from the list. Then upload(上传) the photo you wish to animate. The AI technology will take around 20 seconds to work its magic on the photo. Then it' s done!
Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has taken the Internet by storm, winning 100 million users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, create instructions for cooking a certain food, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is " a language model trained in a large amount of Internet text to help users get human-like text" .
Compared with Siri or otherchatbots, ChatGPT uses a much bigger information center for training. It also uses stronger software (软件) and hardware to learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will correct itself. " It' s a totally different chatbot," computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University told Tianjin Daily. " The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is the same as a university student. That' s why it shocked the world. "
But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives false information. When Rezza, a 28-year-old from Indonesia, used the robot to write an essay (论文), it " gave out many examples which other writers actually hadn' t mentioned at all" , he told The Guardian. Since the robot is trained using words from the Internet, it can also pick up bias (偏见) about certain groups. These are all things that need to be dealt with.
①A spoonful of pickles(泡菜) can sometimes make a meal taste better. Recently, a new type of pickle is being discussed; " digital pickles" . It means the videos people watch while eating. Many people think that the videos can make their food more appetizing(引起食欲的).
②The topic received more than 16 million clicks on a website and about 100,000 people took part in the discussion. Many young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos. Many believe that their food is more delicious with the " digital pickles" .
③Can this habit influence your diet? According to a research paper published(发表) in 2019, you may eat more without realization. The international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating patterns for four days. The patterns included eating while looking at the mobile phone and eating without distraction(干扰). The team discovered that eating with distraction increased caloric ingestion(热量摄入) by about 15%.
④To explore the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to an audio clip(音频片段) about another person eating; the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. At last, the second group ate less because they focused on their food more.
⑤This result works not only for eating meals but also for other tasks which need a lot of patience and skills as well. A research team invited 120 volunteers to do different tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. When they focused on their tasks and their attention was distracted, they were less likely to tell how full they felt and ate more than they expected.

Do you want to be super strong and have the ability to fly? Few people think about having the powers of a spider. Although it may sound strange, this is one of the world' s most popular superheroes—Spider-Man, named Peter Parker, who first showed up as a comic book (漫画书) character in 1962.
So far there have been 15 Spider-Man movies and spin-offs (衍生作品), however, Spider-Man only plays the leading role in nine of them. Eight of those are live-action movies (真人电影), while one is cartoon. At first, the comic' s publishers didn' t think Spider-Man would go popular. Because he is not smart and handsome like Superman, nor is he rich and cool like Iron Man or big and strong like the Hulk. He always has problems in his life. Sometimes, he also finds it hard to use his power in the right way.
But after failing to protect his uncle, he finally learns what he is supposed to do with his power. A man with great power like him is responsible for using the power for good instead of only for himself. Ever since then, he has been seen to save the world at different crime scenes in every corner of the city, no matter how small or how big the crime is. People love Spider-Man not only because he is a superhero but also they see him grow and change gradually, for which he was given the name " friendly neighborhood hero" .
Characters like Spider-Man remind us that we can all be superheroes. Even as common as people around us, we can still do something for good with our own power. That' s probably why Spider-Man has always been many people' s most loved superhero for so long.
There is a famous English saying " You are what you eat" , and it what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts (专家) use it to tell people it' s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered new about eating sweet food.
" When we say some people ' sweet' , we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people' s feelings and acts," said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. " Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone' s character and behavior depending on their . "
In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character , for example, they were soft hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
In their experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren' t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
The result of the experiments is that people' s helpfulness or being nice has something to do their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time if , try some ice-cream.
