1 . Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. Working women are healthier than housewives.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness(孤独). Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss(丧失) of work means the loss of everything. It affects man’s spirit and it will cause more illnesses.
Besides, work gives one a sense of hope and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status(形象) in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
From the above, we can come to a conclusion(结论): the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.

2 . 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.

4 . Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit(打) someone, but sometimes, you hide(隐藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.
In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.

The baseball season goes from April to September. During this time, baseball matches are showed on TV and members(成员) of the important baseball teams become America’s heroes (英雄). At the end of the season, the two top teams play against each other. Many baseball fans go together to watch the game. Millions of others listen to the radio or watch the television.
