Look! Here comes a cute bus. It looks like a panda with black ears and big eyes. It can carry 22 people and is about 12 meters long. A Chinese company made it. People call it Smart Panda Bus. The Smart Panda Bus uses AI technology(科技). It can do many things. The bus can drive by itself. Don’t worry! It’s very safe.

When you get on the bus, you can swipe(刷) your hand. The bus will read your handprint and know who you are. There are also robots on the bus.

You can talk to them and ask them for help. If there is a thief(小偷) on the bus, the bus will call the police. On the bus, there is an ending machine. You can buy snacks(零食) and drinks on the bus. This can save you much time.

People in some cities, such as Changzhou in Jiangsu, Jinan in Shangdong and Deyang in Sichuan, can take the bus. Do you want to take the bus? More cities in China will put the bus into use. I think soon you can take the bus in your city.

【推荐2】If you are looking for a place to spend your vacation, come to Stroud, a small town of England. The town is beautiful with hills around it. You may enjoy your vacation here because it's very interesting.

There is a nice town center. It’s safe for people to walk around because no one can drive on most of the streets. The town center has some common shops, like a butcher’s, a cake shop and a clothes shop. There are some shops that I call “dangerous” because it’s easy to spend lots of money on them! In fact, these shops are wonderful places to find gifts. The best one is called Seren. It sells handmade things from all over the world.

Maybe the best thing about the town is that there’s a market on Saturday mornings. The market is in the town center. The market is always popular, and it is a great place to meet friends. People sell food, drinks and handicrafts (手工艺品) at the market. There are people playing music. I always have breakfast with friends there.

On Sept 12, 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye-catching feature － Face ID.

With Face ID, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking at it. It is powered by a camera system TrueDepth in the front of the iPhone X.

When the camera system sees a person’s face, it uses 30,000 unseen dots (点) to “map” (勾画) the shape and outline of the face. A model of the face will then be created and stored in the phone.

The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two match, then the phone unlocks. This happens in less than a second.

Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID still works.

Although the technology sounds amazing, there are still concerns. For example, will Face ID work for twins? What if someone uses a photo in front of the iPhone X?

According to Apple, the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, but the error rating (出错率) rises.

Apple also emphasizes (强调) that Face ID is smart enough only to work when you want it to. It only unlocks when you open your eyes and stare at(盯住) it. So the phone won’t unlock if you are just glancing at the phone to know the time. It won’t work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.
