【推荐1】Today, we often see delivery (配送) men taking food to people. Do you believe that self-driving cars, cars without drivers, will bring food to you in the near future? That sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

Now Baidu and Meituan are working together to use self-driving cars to deliver food. These companies use them to send group orders(订单). For example, when a company buys food for people working there, a self-driving car will bring all of their orders to the company quickly and safely.

More and more people buy food online all around China, even in small villages. Now about 300 million users use different apps to buy food online. Some people say that using self-driving cars will change the way of the food delivery. They will become important in the future.

At the same time, some people think there will be some problems. For example, self-driving cars can only drive well on flat (平坦的) roads. And some other people worry that most of the delivery men will lose their jobs in the future.

【推荐2】The police find most criminals (罪犯) because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery (抢劫), the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in prison (监狱). They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.
Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crimes like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it.
Everyone’s DNA is different and their fingerprints are also different. So, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them his hair or some blood and see if it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidences .

【推荐3】China’s Double 11 online shopping festival is now getting greener. It has become a test field where some companies are trying to make a difference in lower carbon emissions.

In 2021, Tmall gave out 100 million yuan worth of shopping vouchers (代金券). The company encouraged people to buy green products with the vouchers. JD. com also joined in the activity. There were more than 150 million green products at the shopping festival. Besides, JD. com said it would choose cleaner transportation to make the world greener.

ZTO Express also took some action to achieve the goal last year. It handed out more than 11 million recyclable bags, taking the place of about 1.16 billion disposable (一次性的) bags. It was helpful in saving our environment. At the same time, Cainiao gave out 7.5 million eggs to people who took part in the box recycling activity. On the one hand, the old bags can be recycled and on the other hand, customers can get something useful in their daily lives.

There are also signs that customers are becoming “greener” in their shopping habits. For example, most people only buy things they really need instead of the things they already have. “During the Double 11, I bought a coffee maker that is much cheaper than on normal days. The activity of getting new ones with old products can help us avoid wasting money,” said Bi Xin, a customer in Shenzhen.

The shopping festival on November 11 is not only a festival for shopping now. It’s also a useful way to help more people realize what a green life is and then take action.
