These days, cars are designed using computers.     1    

First, several designers meet online or offline to talk about the new car and good ideas that they have.     2     Then they sit down at their computers and draw many sketches (素描).     3     Then more detailed drawings of cars are developed on the computer. You can change the size, shape, or color of any part on the computer to see how the car would look and then you can choose the best design.

    4     Part of the inside of the car is built so that the designers can sit in it. They can feel if there is enough room inside and if they can reach everything. Then some cars are built—there are more than 15000 parts of a car to test.

    5     Again, computers are used to make sure that all the parts are ready as they are needed. The factory usually stays open all through the night so that the car production never stops.

【推荐2】Jack is a salesman.     1     He is very interested in clean water.     2     So it’s natural that he is to developer of a small and affordable system(系统) to clean waste water. His “Living Machine” can clean waste water in your home.

    3     The waste water goes into a big plastic tank where bacteria(细菌) start to break down the waste. A few days later after it is dealt with, the water is brought into a greenhouse filled with plants and fish. With the help of sunlight, the plants and animals remove more chemicals from the water, making it cleaner. Then the water can be reused for washing or bathing.     4     But the water is clean enough for watering the flowers, washing the dog, or even for bathing or swimming.

The advantage of this technology is that it is affordable and good for the environment. If you have enough homes and businesses to use “Living Machines”, you’d better buy it.     5     It can help keep the water supply unpolluted, too.

【推荐3】Wearing a white blouse, Ai-Da studies her subject and begins to draw. She looks like any artist at work. However, the "beep ... beep ... beep" noise from her arm gives her away. Ai-Da is, in fact, a robot.

Ai-Da has been described as the world's "first AI (人工智能) robot artist". She takes her name from Ada Lovelace, the world's first female computer programmer. Scientists at Oxford University developed AI systems (系统) for Ai-Da. The robot has cameras in her eyeballs. After she has studied a subject, she will use her left arm to draw. Now, Ai-Da can only use a pencil for sketches (素描). The plan is for her to paint.

Ai-Da is not the first AI system to produce artworks. Since 2006, scientists have been developing software (软件) to turn photos into drawings. Last year, an artwork created using AI was sold in New York for $132,500. However, Ai-Da's human-like appearance brings something new to the field.

In June, Ai-Da opened her first exhibition at Oxford. There were about 30 drawings by the robot. Ai-Da, standing next to her artworks, attracted (吸引) many visitors.

Ai-Da's inventor, Aidan Meller, talked about the importance of the robot. "Ai-Da brings a new voice to the art world," she said. "AI is going to be the big thing of the 2020s. That influences us greatly." Meller hopes the exhibition was just the start and that more will follow to show how AI is influencing human life.

【推荐1】A master (大师) of English education in China, Chen Lin just celebrated his 100th birthday on April 30, 2022. Chen has spent his whole life on English education.

In 1950, Chen started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU). He was known as the “Professor of Three Ups”. He always put importance on “standing up” and “speaking up” in his classes. He always stood to teach and talked loudly. When class was over, he would “shut up” at once.

Chen’s good teaching impressed students. Li Jinzhao, one of Chen’s students and a teacher at BFSU now, said Chen likes role-playing and singing to make the class active. It was different from the “teacher speaks, students listen” style of the time. He also encouraged students to speak more and practice more.

In 1999, Chen led experts to make English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching objectives from primary school to university didn’t connect well with each other. But the standards changed it. Then, English education worked like “one package (一条龙)”. He also wrote the first set of textbooks to carry out the new standards.

After leaving his job, Chen keeps on working. He reads and writes about how to improve English teaching. “I have been a teacher all my, life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.

What she has done will be long remembered and encourage more to follow her example.

【推荐3】When I was a child, my father had to do three jobs for a family of seven. Every time I saw him come back late, looking tired, I thought that I would show my thanks to my father for what he did.

Later, my father had a heart problem. One morning, his old car broke down and he asked me to pick him up from the hospital. At that time, I wanted to buy a car for him. I asked my father to go with me to pick a car. When I started talking with the seller, I found my father was interested in a brown car.

Several days later, I asked my father if he could go with me to pick up my new car. As we got there, the seller gave him a key to his new car--the brown one and said that it was for him, from me. My father looked at me in great surprise. I told him that it was my dream when I was a child. I smiled at this man, a great man who had given up everything for his family.
