Johnson kicked the soccer ball hard against his bedroom wall.
"Johnson, stop!" his father shouted. "You're going to1 the neighbors.
Johnson picked up the ball as it flew back towards him, and then he lay onto his bed, crying silently. His eyes were full of 2 .
Several days earlier, there was a big 3 in Philippines. It had washed away buildings and destroyed lives.
His father, Mr. Reynolds, has a lot of experience of removing debris (碎片) after rainstorms.4 his father saw the destruction on TV, he knew his skills could be of help to the people Philippines. He called a company that performed 5 services after rainstorms. They told Mr. Reynolds they could certainly get the job for his skills were helpful. The company would provide a flat for Mr. Reynolds—meaning Johnson would 6 in Philippines for a year with him.
Johnson thought about his 7 team, his friends, his school, and everything else in America. He would have to 8 all for the next year. How could his father do this to him?
Lying on his bed for a few minutes had helped Johnson 9 . He sat up, and started putting his clothes into bags.
After he finished 10 , Johnson walked into the living room, where his dad and sister were looking at some photos. Mr. Reynolds asked Johnson to sit beside him and explained to 11 what his work would be like in Philippines. One photo showed a group of 12 standing on a muddy soccer field. Johnson suddenly saw himself standing with them, and he realized how 13 he would feel in the same situation.14 , people were coming from all over the world to help. Johnson wondered 15 he could do something to help once they got there. Maybe even playing soccer on the muddy soccer field itself could take their minds off the disaster for a while.
"That might be a wonderful year." Johnson smiled.
Some designers are trying to build a new type of house. The picture below shows some information about the house.
When September comes, the new term begins. Parents are all excited because their kids are going back to school. There's nothing better than this. Looking back at the online-class period, what woke up the parents every morning was not their alarms, but their kids' coming online classes. Cooking meals, signing-in(登陆) learning apps and handing in homework pictures were daily activities for parents to get everything ready for kids. At the same time, the parents had to pay full attention to their kids because there's no difference between giving a kid an electronic product and ▲ .
What a coincidence! In ancient times, the new term started around White Dew(白露) in September, too. People used to have "four big ceremonies in life" which included the ceremony of "starting school, becoming an adult, getting married and burial". The ceremony of starting school was a big thing. It showed everyone's best wishes for a kid.
Not every kid could go to school. Most of them had to work. But if you were a boy, your father could send you to school. Luckily, beginning in the Han Dynasty, the school fees(费用) were paid by the emperor. Boys studied very hard. They went to school every day, with no weekends, from about 6: 00 a. m. to about 4:00 p. m. The school prepared them for the government tests, and whoever scored high in the tests could get a good job. There weren't any math or science lessons. The students learned how to read, write, and paint pictures.
Education has played an important role in the development of China's society. Nowadays, China has provided nine year free education for each child, and all the kids have a fair chance to enter school.
Prince Caspian's parents died. He lived with his uncle, Miraz, the King of Narnia and his aunt. Though he had wonderful toys, he liked best the last hour of the day when the toys had all been put away and Nurse would tell him stories
He didn't care much for his uncle and aunt, but about twice a week his uncle would ask him to come and have a walk together.
One day, while they were doing this, the King said, "Well, boy, we must soon teach you to ride and use a sword. You know we have no children, so it looks as if you might have to be King when I'm gone. How shall you like that, eh?"
"I don't know, Uncle," said Caspian. "What do you wish?" asked the King. "I wish-I wish —I wish I could have lived in the Old Days," said Caspian.
Up till now the King had been talking in a tiresome way, which made it quite clear that he wasn't really interested in what they were saying, but he suddenly gave Caspian a sharp(锐利的) look.
"Eh? What's that?" he said. "What old days?"
"Oh, don't you know, Uncle?" said Caspian. "Once there was a White Witch(女巫) and she made herself Queen of the whole country. And she made it so that it was always winter. And then two boys and two girls came from somewhere and killed the Witch and they were made Kings and Queens of Narnia. And so they ruled for a long time and everyone had a lovely time, and it was all because of Aslan—"
"Who' she?" said the King. If Caspian had been a little older, the tone(语气) of his uncle's voice would have warned him it would be wiser to shut up. But he talked on...
①AI(artificial intelligence人工智能) and machine learning refer to the ability of machines to learn and act intelligently. It means they can make decisions, finish tasks, and even tell the possible future results based on what they learn from data(数据).
②AI and machine learning already play a bigger role in everyday life than you might imagine. Health care, banking, videogames, every search on the Internet you make..., all are driven by AI.
③AI is going to change almost every field of modern life. Stephen Hawking said, "Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history." And Hawking added at once, "Unluckily, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks."
④ ▲ , especially when you consider some countries are racing to develop AI-enabled autonomous weapons(人工智能自主武器). It is also going to change and take the place of many human jobs. The same worries also come from the public. According to the survey result from Centre for the Governance of AI, 91% of the people (tend to and totally) agree that "AI is a technology that requires careful management" in Europe.
⑤But rather than agreeing with an idea of a helpless future where all human jobs are given over to robots, some people believe AI will make our working lives better. It will improve the work of humans, and new jobs will appear to take the place of the old ones.
⑥What's more, machines become more intelligent and they are able to finish more human tasks. Things which only belong to humans lie creativity and critical(批判性的) thinking, will become even more valuable in the future.
⑦Like it or not, AI is here. Maybe changing ourselves and managing it well are the best way out Just as Benjamin Franklin once said, "When you're finished changing, you're finished."
smooth apologise twelve instead of invent |
Last night I went to a concert of Chinese folk music with my Chinese friends. A piece of music called Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring) (深深地) moved me. It was one of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard. It sounded so sad that I (几乎) cried along with it as I listened. Later I got to know the music was (写) by a folk musician Abing. Today it has become one of China's national treasures.
However, it was not easy for him to (成功). His mother died when he was young. His father taught him to play many (音乐的)instruments. By age 17, he was known for his talent in music. Unluckily, his father died. What was worse, he developed a serious i and became blind. He had no c but to play erhu on the streets to make money. His excellent skills made him popular dhis lifetime. He played and created many pieces of music.
When we listen to his music, we can sense the beauty and sadness in it. It makes us think about the wounds and pain we have experienced. For this reason, many people praise him as the musician who has greatly ierhu music. But it's really a pthat many pieces of his music were not recorded and we can't hear them today.
Though Robert and his twin sister Amanda get along well, there are some things that (trouble) Robert. He can't understand how girls can talk for so long. For example, sometimes he leaves home to play football, Amanda and her friend Sharon are sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back two and half an hour (late), they're still staying in the same place, continuing the same topic. One day Robert was so curious that he asked Amanda what they talked about, but she (reply), "We're best friends. We talk about almost everything!"
Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendship. Friendships between girls are usually about sharing feelings and support, but friendships between boys are about activities or interests. Compared with girls, a boy might be (careful)about sharing his feelings with his close friends. But a (girl) closest friend might be eager (急切的) to tell her about something that has happened in her life.
Many studies show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys don't know who his best friend is. When they (ask), they often think for a while before answering, "My best friend? I can't think about that. I am busy my homework, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend."
Girls, , can usually answer the question immediately, "A best friend? Of course Lucy is. We have a lot to share with each other. We get much more pleasure from talking, daydreaming."
We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings. But most important thing to remember is that both of them are friendships. We all need friends in our lives.
The right way to breathe(呼吸)duringexercise
Exercising is great for your health-everyone knows this. .
While exercising, making sure your breathing is correct is very important. Naturally, we breathe through our nose. Not really!
Breathing through your nose has its advantages. Your nose hair acts like an air filter(过滤器). Breathing through your nose also warms and moistens(使……湿润)the air. However, when you exercise, you should always make sure that you are taking in enough oxygen(氧气). You can breathe through your nose while doing lighter exercise like yoga.
During more heavy exercise, such as running, it is better to breathe through your mouth..
Most people usually take quicker breaths while doing any heavy exercise. Quicker breathing is not a proper way of breathing. This can cause dizziness(头晕)and other health problems.
In fact, while doing exercise like running, one should breathe in a 3:2 ratio(比率). This means that for the first three steps, the person should be inhaling(吸气)deeply. For the next two steps, the person should be exhaling(呼气)fully. In this way you can take in the largest amount of oxygen.
First, while we often breathe through our nose, breathing through our mouth is a good way as well. Sometimes people use both their nose and mouth to breathe. Then, while doing any exercise, your breaths should be deep, rather than quick. This will help you to burn more fat and keep you fitter.
A.Let's go over the basic rules of exercising again. B.However, simply exercising isn't enough. It needs to be done properly. C.This is one of the most common mistakes that people make while exercising. D.However, do you know the right way to breathe during exercise? E.By doing so, you can take in a higher amount of air and oxygen. F.But when you exercise, is breathing through the nose always the best? |
