【推荐1】Now, a new AI tool (工具) is used in the making of new movies.

This new AI tool is called “Deepfakes”. It can take out the actor’s picture/photo from an old movie and use it to create a “Digital image (数字形象)” for a new movie. For example, “Deepfakes” can make it seem as if the person is saying words. But in fact, he never said. In Hollywood, the tool has been used to make actors look younger and to solve other problems.

For Duncan, he thinks actors have their qualities (特征), such as appearance and voice. These qualities make them different from the others. If the moviemakers (制片人) always use “Deepfakes”, these actors will lose their jobs. Besides, it is unfair to use actors’ images without paying money and the admission of the author. While many actors are worried about AI, others can accept it. Harrison Ford doesn’t mind about moviemakers using AI. Ford first played Indiana Jones in the 1980s. Now he is 80 years old. By using “Deepfakes”, Ford will appear in the movie Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny again.

“Though I think ‘Deepfakes’ is a good tool, moviemakers must do it with more things, such as the actors’ personalities instead of just copying old movies. Or everything made in the future is going to be the copy of the old works”, said Duncan.

【推荐2】Different from popular thoughts, colds are not caused by bad weather. Colds are caused by viruses   (病毒) in the body, and you are better out on the snowy day than you are in a warm room with your friends, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill (寒冷) when you are coming down with a cold, you are already sick. A chill is an early sign of the cold.

The virus can spread through air when a cold–sufferer (感冒患者) coughs or sneezes. Surprisingly, this is not the most usual way of spreading. Many studies have now shown that most colds are “caught” by hands. A cold–sufferer rubs her nose, so spreading the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit her. They shake their hands. The friend then gets something to eat by hand, and several days later she catches a cold. Although some parents pick up their children’s tissues (纸巾) and carefully throw them away, they fail to wash their hands. They’ll catch the colds, too.

Cold viruses can also be spread by objects, for example, telephones, plates. The cold–sufferer as well as other members of the house, by washing their hands often, will stop the viruses from spreading in a way .

【推荐3】When you feel a sneeze（喷嚏）or cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs（细菌）. You probably knew that.

But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues（纸巾）, and put your used tissues into the bin. “If you don't have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.” The doctors advised.

“If somebody sneezes into his hands, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.” said Dr. Hill.

Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs（扶手）, lift buttons and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.

“The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn't pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.” Dr. Benjamin said.

To be clear, people can't keep away from all the risks in this way, but it's the best choice. At the same time, we'd better wear masks （口罩）and often wash our hands. “Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy.” Dr. Hill said.

Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.

How can we lower the number of traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians, it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it.
