If you are hungry，what do you do？Will you have your favourite meal and stay quiet after that？Just like your stomach，your mind is also hungry.But it never lets you know.It 1 satisfies your needs and never lets itself grow because you make it keep on 2 about your friends or favorite stars.When mind loses 3 freedom to grow，creativity gets a full stop.This 4 be the reason why we all sometimes think ""What happens next？"，"Why can' I think？"
In fact，hunger of the mind5 out by wide reading.Why reading but not watching TV？It is because reading6 the most educative tool used by us since our childhood.

This is creativity.In addition，this helps you 10 your vocabulary.In no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other languages and you will never find it hard to use the right words.Therefore，do give food for your thoughts by reading，reading and more reading.

"But I like dandelions，"I said."All flowers are 4 ，even dandelions!"
My mother looked at me seriously."Yes.Every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn't it？"she asked thoughtfully.I nodded."And the same as 5 ，"she said.

Do a science experiment to see how rain forms.You will need：a glass jar （罐），hot water，a plate and ice cubes （冰块）.
What happens in the jar？ Hot water makes warm，wet air called steam （水蒸气）.Steam rises up to the cold plate.The cold air changes the warm steam into water.Then heavy drops of water fall. |

A simple honk（汽车喇叭声） from the bus is one part of a secret code（代码） between the driver and students living in a far—away village in Wanzhou district，Chongqing.
Seeing a schoolbag hanging from the doorknob of an old house along the road，the bus driver drives toward the roadside and makes a honk to answer the "code".Then a boy runs outside，takes the schoolbag，and gets on the bus.
The boy's parents work far from home，leaving him in the care of his grandmother.The boy is in the ninth grade this year.He comes home every Friday and goes back to school in the city every Sunday.To make the journey easier，he and the driver，Cheng Lin，have developed a special "code".When the boy's schoolbag is hanging outside the house，it"tells" Mr Cheng，"Today，it's time to go back to school.I need to catch the bus."
The parents of the boy are deeply touched when they know this.They show their heartfelt thanks to Mr Cheng and feel happy that there is someone taking care of their son while they are away.
Mr Cheng has been driving the Luotian to Wuqiao Nan Station bus for many years.There are many left—behind children on this bus line.Realizing the importance of his role in their lives，he has paid more attention on Fridays and Sundays.
The driver's kindness to the boy touches the hearts of many people.One wrote online，"He is a good driver.The schoolbag is their code，packed with love inside."
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，video games，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 on 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 like 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."

"Yes，you discovered that big dreams don't just come true.They take work.If you train and work hard，I am sure to wait for you next year and cheer you on."
I trained every day，running miles and miles.Sadly，just two months into my training，Grandpa died.He wouldn't be waiting for my second Boston Marathon.I decided I'd run for him.
That day，I ran fast，"Keep going!You can do it!"His words filled my head as I forced my legs to make each painful step.As I crossed the finish line，I threw my arms in the air and cried， "Grandpa，I did it!"
