I froze when my dad asked me to go to see Rhys and take him for ice cream. Actually, I love my 14-year-old younger brother dearly, but it has been over a year and a half since last time when we were in public with Rhys. My dad's idea made me feel anxious.
Rhys was seriously cognitively impaired (认知能力受损的) and his uncommon disease was 1 at birth. When I was young, my parents and I would 2 Rhys from his new long-term care home at the end of our busy weekends to spend some time with him, 3 at our home because of his illness.
After collecting Rhys and taking the short car trip, we arrived at the ice cream store. I supported Rhys in his chair while my dad placed our 4 and paid the bill.
Rhys loves to grab (抓) things. He grabbed a woman walking by. I said sorry to her immediately, full of 5 .
After getting our ice cream, we sat outside. At this point, I felt uncomfortable and just wanted to go home. Dad could tell that I was 6 . He silently understood and let me be.
But then I saw a father and a daughter walking along the square toward the ice cream store. The girl's movements seemed strangely familiar. I noticed she was walking strangely but she was obviously excited, behaving 7 to Rhys.
Watching those two, I was touched deeply. I realized I wasn't the only one in this situation: out in public with a family member with 8 needs. I smiled as I watched the father and daughter just enjoying their day and did not 9 what others thought. They acted just like every other "typical" family. It made me realize that I shouldn't let what others think about Rhys 10 our time together.
There is so much 11 with Rhys' uncommon disease. We aren't certain what difficulties, troubles and 12 he will face in the future. With each visit, I notice how much we have both changed, whether it's his little mustache(小胡子) 13 or my growing independence as I move onto university. Rhys will always be my brother. We are a family. There is no 14 in that.
With a pleasant-evening wind and the view of the setting sun, a night tour of parks offers people a special experience. Let's discover the beauty of a summer night in Beijing.
Yuyuantan Park is famous for a huge outdoor light and shadow (阴影) art space of 19,000 square meters, and as night falls, 15 immersive scenes (沉浸式场景) there create a fantastic planet of light.
Starting from June 8th, Jingxinzhai in Beihai Park opens for an immersive nighttime cultural experience, where visitors can enjoy the beautiful and attractive royal(皇家的) garden, hear the sounds of the ancient zither (guzheng) and watch Kunqu Opera performances while taking in Jiangnan ( areas south of the Yangtze River) umbrella dances.
Additionally, the Jingshan Park Summer Cultural Season shows the impressive view of the central line of Beijing and highlights the features of Beijing. It is worth mentioning that the park organizes evening tours, puts on an amazing light and shadow performance, and redesigns its ancient red walls and traditional Beijing architecture (建筑).
Based on its rich garden resources and exhibitions featuring old objects in the Garden Museum, every Wednesday the Museum of Chinese Gardens and Landscape Architecture holds a "Meet the Future Speechmakers" overnight event.
The popular "Xiangshan Midsummer Night" event has reopened. Under the guidance of the park's science lecturers, visitors have the opportunities to listen to the lively insects singing in the mountains at night and observe the entire process of the insects coming out of eggs.
This summer, the closing time for Jingshan Park, Beihai Park and Zhongshan Park is 21:00, while the closing time for Zizhuyuan Park is 22:00. The closing time for Yuyuantan Park is 22:30.
Liu Lingli has been a teacher for hearing-damaged children for 33 years. Thanks to her help and commitment, more than 20 of the over 80 students she has taught have received higher education.
Liu's first communication with disabled people was with one of her neighbors, Mrs. Wang. "Even as a child, I was moved by her finger movement, and thought it would be great if she could speak," Liu said. After graduation, she became a teacher of special education, and taught Chinese to first graders.
She remembers clearly that there were 14 students in her class, from 6 to 12years old, with several of them being intellectually (智力上地) challenged. "Facing the special children, I was at a loss and thought about quitting," she said. She then thought about her neighbor Mrs. Wang and the pain on her face when she could not make people understand what she was trying to say. That made her determined to go after "special education".
Although she was only 18 at the time, she treated the students as her children, and practiced sign language in front of the mirror for one to two hours every day till she could show it successfully. With great care and patience, she also taught the students how to wash their faces and clothes, and make everything neat and tidy, becoming the "mother" of the students.
"If the children receive early training and treatment, they could probably speak and thus have a better future," she said. To help her students speak, she put her lips(嘴唇) against their hands to let them feel the movement of the lips and the running of the air, while allowing the students to put their hands around her neck and on her nose so they could learn how the voice was made.
Apart from teaching her class together, she also has one-on-one classes with each student for 20 minutes every day. As a result, she usually has a painful throat at the end of the day.
With Liu's tireless efforts, her students show great improvement. " Whenever they managed to say ‘mom ' or ‘dad' for the first time, I felt it was the sweetest sound in the world," she said.
In a recent interview with the CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, said artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) may become smarter than any human by the end of next year.
It is true that AI achievements over the past 18 months, including video generation tools and chat robots, have made the development of AI faster. The Financial Times reported that Musk actually announced last year that humans would "fully" achieve general artificial intelligence by 2029. Musk has long been supportive of AI development, believing it is so powerful that it can beat the most capable human in any field.
Despite its rapid development, AI needs policy, resources and technological support. Yet its use in many fields now does not have this kind of support. Cooperation(合作) among countries is also needed for AI development, but current international cooperation depends on many national causes, blocking the smooth development of AI. At the same time, AI development is also limited by some cultural causes, such as Chat GPT's answers being more in line with the Western environment, which means the development of AI with a single national power may increase the imbalance of global AI development. All these call for exact connection between capital and the market, and a full range of international cooperation for AI development.
The fast development of AI in recent years has reduced production costs and improved production efficiency (效率), opening the door to new business forms in various areas. Despite bringing in efficiency, the use of artificial intelligence is also filled with risks. The technology continues to increase the difficulty in dealing with the problems concerning various laws, leading to calls for the sound law system applicable to this new technology.
According to experts, the power used by human brains is much lower than the power lost to artificial intelligence operation, and there is still a gap between the levels of artificial intelligence and human intelligence. However, from a long-term viewpoint, they believe that artificial intelligence, which now has many shortcomings compared with the human brain, may eventually better human intelligence supported by algorithms (算法) and data, depending on how some software develops.
The time of artificial intelligence is a time of risks and opportunities, and the uncertainty brought by this technology to human society may be far greater than the certainty.
Have you ever paid close attention to a cloud and noticed its ever-changing forms? If not, you could be missing out on something quite wonderful.
A pop science blogger surnamed Zheng, 25, known as the "Cloud Collector" on the lifestyle social media Xiaohongshu, originally started her account to share cloud photos in 2022.
Zheng, who enjoys finding pleasure in recording the beauty of daily life, considered it a way to spread lovely moments to more people. "Clouds have always brought me peace and joy," said Zheng.
For Zheng, one of her most unforgettable cloud watching experiences happened during a flight. It was the first time that she had seen a special natural event called a "glory"、 produced by water drops in the air. "It was such a surprise," Zheng remembered.
As a growing number of online users began to show interest and raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer more science content about cloud watching. Thus, she started to learn more by reading professional books and asking experts in the field.
Zheng has now shared nearly 200 pieces of popular science content, including cloud identification, different cloud types and the knowledge of weather. Her account now has over 210,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, and there are five group chats where thousands of users share their daily cloud-watching experiences.
Looking ahead, Zheng has plans to hold several shows. "The first round of shows will be in Xiamen in Fujian and Chengdu in Sichuan," Zheng said, adding that she is gathering more cloud photos and the special stories behind them. By doing this, she hopes to inspire more people to enjoy the beauty of the clouds in the sky.
