Many people dream of going on a great travel adventure. Most of us keep dreaming; others make it happen.

Gregg Beakney's dream was to travel around the Americas from top to bottom. He got the idea after he finished a 1, 600-kilometer bike ride. Gregg's friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist. The two friends talked and set their goal: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina by bike. To pay for the journey, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in hotels. In many places, along their route（路线）, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.

During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rainforests（热带雨林）and mountains. They visited modern cities and explored ancient ruins（遗迹）, such as Tikal in Guatemala（危地马拉）. In many places, they met other cyclists from all over the world. In May 2007, they traveled twelve countries in two years, and over 30, 500 km（19, 000 miles）. Later, Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina, at the top of South America. Gregg and Brooks kept a record of their adventures in an online blog. The trip taught both men a lot about travelling.

Here is some of Gregg's advice:

Travel light.

The less baggage you have, the less you'll worry about.

Be flexible（灵活的）.

Don't plan everything. Then you'll be more relaxed and happier, even when there are challenges along the way.

Be polite.

A traveller told Gregg, “Always remember that nobody wants to fight or cheat a nice guy”.

Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能)is the ability of a computer program or a machine.The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with(提出)the name "artificial intelligence" over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.

An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs.They can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地）. At present, Al can successfully understanding human speech, recognizie (识别）human faces, operate self-driving cars and compete in some game systems like playing Chess. However,Some people also consider(认为）AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers(设计者）in the future. We need not only bright students, but also average(普通的）students.As for(对于）average students ，if they get enough math skills,they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.

Scientists hope to create creative(有创造力）and emotional (有感情的）AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.

A grand international horticultural（园艺）exhibition kicked off on April 29, 2019 Monday in Beijing. Chinese President Xi expressed his hope that the green development concept（理念）embodied（体现）by the Expo park would be spread to “every corner of the world”.

The International Horticultural Exhibition 2019 Beijing is the highest-level and largest international fair held in China after the International Horticultural Exhibition held in the southwest city of Kunming in 1999, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and the first China International Import Expo in 2018.

“The development model of ‘killing the hens for eggs' and ‘draining（排空）the lake for fish' is at a dead end, "Xi said in his speech at the opening ceremony of the Expo. "The future will be illuminated（发光的）by eco-friendly development that is in accordance with the rules of nature.”

“China's ecological civilization（生态文明）development is on fast track. People will live in a better environment with blue sky, green mountains and clear water, "Xi said." We should protect the ecological environment like protecting our eyes and value it in the same way we value our lives.”

“Only with concerted efforts can we effectively（有效）deal with global environment issues such as climate change, marine（海洋）pollution and biological protection and achieve the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable（可持续的）Development goals," he said.

He put forward a five-point suggestion: pursuing（追求）harmony between human and nature, prosperity（繁荣）based on green development, a passion for mature-caring lifestyles, a scientific spirit in ecological governance and joint efforts to deal with environmental challenges.

"The Beijing Horticultural Expo, themed ‘Live Green, Live Better', is one of the major international events hosted by China in 2019, which marks the 70^th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It indicates（标识）that China has changed from a participant（参与者）in global green development to a contributor and leader, "said Wu Shunze, an expert with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. A total of 110 countries and international organizations will attend the 162-day event.

Building her own app

While other teenagers hang out with friends or play sports after school, Brooke Yoakam goes to business meetings.

Yoakam first began developing a mobile app called Gift Pocket at the age of 12. Now 17, this girl from Ohio, US has finally launched the app.

It allows users to upload gift cards from various businesses and store them all in one place. User can also exchange gift cards. The app is free to download and use.

Yoakam says about 1,000 users have downloaded the app, with 87 percent of them signing up（注册）and 45 percent adding at least one gift card to the service.

Yoakam came up with the idea for the app after attending a leadership academy（领导学院）in sixth grade. She was asked to solve a problem. She realized that she always forgot her gift cards when she went shopping with friends. But since most people have mobile phones, it would be easy to store and use the gift cards from there.

After leaving the academy, Yoakam decided to develop an app that would solve this problem. She won a local business competition and received $2,000（13, 800 yuan） from a company to invest（投资）in her idea. She traveled around after school two or three times a week to work on the app. She even gave up some of her hobbies and activities.

The app has helped her realize her interests. So she hopes to major（主修）in business and technology in college.

A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and g    56    , he neglected（忽视） the elder son. It was completely puzzling（令人费解） and no one knew why.

When the boys grew up, they were a    57     to manage the father's business. The elder son was serious about the business. From morning till late in the evening, he was busy w    58    。 Within a few years, he ran the business very well and e    59    expanded（扩大）it.

What about the younger son? He didn't have much to do e    60    having a good time. But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a s    61    businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.

A few years later, the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, the younger son continued s    62     his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business. But the elder son's far smaller share（份） of business had expanded and he had proved h    63    to be a good decision maker.

Ashamed at the turn of events the father met the elder son and was a    64    with the younger one. The elder son, who was listening to all this quietly, suddenly said he wanted to s    65    up an independent business and live on his own.

“Why?” asked the father: “I blame（责备） one person for the way my brother has turned out, and it's not him. You can't blame children for the faults（过失）of their parents, can you?" asked the elder son.
