Although money is important, most teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.

Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic(现实的) than others.

And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day. According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some said they'd like to go on exciting trips. One student said she'd love to sail across the Pacific Ocean.

Should children do chores? The answer is yes. As you can see, children can learn many things in many different subjects or activities and that is helpful for them.

They will learn that working quickly will give them much time to do other things they want to. The skills from doing chores will be good to children all their life.
Little children can do easy chores like tidying up their toys each day. They can begin to learn to tidy up their rooms. School-age children should also do chores, for example, putting their shoes and schoolbags away when they get home from school. Older students should do all the chores. They need to learn the skills for life such as cooking, cleaning, walking the dog and helping with housework. Little by little, they can look after（照顾）themselves and a family.

【推荐3】AI is becoming more and more common in our life. Not long ago, an AI canteen opened in Shanghai.
The AI canteen, located in the Hongqiao Area, covers about 130 square meters. It can serve about 300 people every day, most of whom are old people living nearby or office workers in the area.
At the canteen, people need to order food on a screen. For those who are not sure what they want to eat, the canteen’s cooking system can offer advice. The canteen’s robots cook dishes. They can make different kinds of Chinese dishes, like gongbao chicken and mapo toufu. What’s more, the robots can pack dishes and adjust（调节）the temperature for dine-in（堂食）or take-away food.
At the self-service area, customers simply need to place their dishes on a smart cash desk（收银台）and the system will tell them the price of the meal. People can pay in different ways, like using bank cards or QR codes（二维码）. The prices of the food at the AI canteen are pretty good. Every meat dish costs 8 yuan while every vegetable dish costs only 3.5 yuan.
“The meals cooked by robots taste as good as those cooked by humans. It is cheap and convenient for us to eat in the AI canteen,” said an old man.
