1 . Artificial intelligence(人工智能) or AI for short, is the science of giving computers and machines ability to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.
AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result, facial recognition(识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to check people's information.
AI is also used in self-driving cars, which are believed to be the future of driving.
Most drivers may wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street, but self-driving cars don't have this ability. Car makers are testing a light signal system to help them "speak" to humans. The system can show what self-driving cars will do.
Service Robots also show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this-you come back home from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano, just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real word. In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers.
AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs.

2 . Are you good with money? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to earn money? Read on to find out about British teenagers and their money!
 Pocket money | Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do housework to get their pocket money. The housework can include cleaning, cooking, washing dishes, and ironing. |
 Part-time job | A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to earn extra money. About 15 percent of teenagers have a job. Only children over the age of 13 can work. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, sending newspapers, shop work and restaurant work. Children in Britain can work at most two hours a day on a school day but not during school hours. During weekends and school holidays, they can work longer hours. |
 Bank account | Some children and teenagers have a bank account(账户). There is no legal (法定的) age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to open an account for a child or a young person. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account. Most banks have a prepaid (预付的) bank card designed for young people. |
So, many teenagers are getting experience working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money.

Long long ago, there was a boy who grazed(放牧) sheep on a hill every day. One day, the boy felt a little lonely and wanted to make fun of the farmers working at the foot of the hill. So he climbed up a big stone and shouted, "Wolves are coming! Wolves are coming!
In a minute, the farmers came only to find there were no wolves at all. Seeing the farmers were taken in, the boy laughed and said, I am just joking "Then the farmers shook(摇) their heads and left. A few days later, the farmers heard the boy shout again. So they ran up the hill and found that they were cheated again. Another day, several wolves really came. The boy was frightened and cried out, "Help! Wolves have come! " But this time, no one came.
1. There was a boy who count sheep on a hill.2. When farmers heard the boy shout again and they ran up the hill.
3. Several wolves really came and the boy was not frightened.
4. The last time, no one came to help the boy.
5. The story tells us everyone should be honest.
4 . When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”
This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.
If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.
After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go a long way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.
When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.

5 . ①Chemistry is everywhere in our daily life. Sometimes it's easy to see. At other times, it can be very hard to see the everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch has some chemicals (化学物质) in it.
②Chemistry helps to make products for use. Something as simple as toothpaste has at least three chemicals that keep your teeth clean. Other things in your daily life are created by chemistry, such as hair products and soap. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes.
③Chemistry also helps us understand the world around us. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can't be mixed with vinegar (醋), because the mixture can produce harmful gas.
④Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is the reason why cooked food often tastes different from uncooked food. Too much or too little of any chemical material makes a difference to the result of baking (烘焙). For example, the cake can be too soft or too hard.
⑤Chemistry isn't something that just lives in a laboratory; it's something that you meet hundreds of times in life. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the life.
