【推荐2】Boys, like girls, need friends. Many people believe that boys need fewer friends than girls do. In fact, boys are much happier and healthier when they have good friends.

There are some differences in friendships between girls and boys. For example, Amy and Sarah are the best friends. They walk to school together every morning, and always eat lunch together. While they sometimes read books, their heads are always close together. They talk about everything. Jason and Leo are friends. Jason sometimes talks with Leo about his parents’ divorce (离婚) because he knows that Leo’s parents are divorced, too. But they only talk to each other and keep the secret. When the other boys are around, they play ball games or talk about other things like their favorite films.

People believe that girls are better at making friends, but most boys think making friends is an important part of their lives. Boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls.

【推荐3】Artificial intelligence (人工智能) is set to benefit mankind in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to many industries. It might be one of man's greatest inventions.

And yet, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks. In February 2018, a group of AI experts got together to discuss the possible disadvantages of AI. What they found was that "Every AI developed by the good guys is also helpful for the bad guys, too." according to Quartz.

Their biggest worry was that the bad guys could use AI for bad things. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people's personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be used to hack software and break into computer secure systems (安全系统).

There are some other worries as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake imagines and videos. Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can "clone (克隆)" anyone's voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample (音频样本).

Many leading people have expressed worries about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly controlled, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.

However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical (伦理道德的) dangers of AI, which will help to keep it safe for mankind.
