1 . The world is filled with movies about technology, but none of them could have been created without AI (Artificial Intelligence人工智能). It seems AI is everywhere and makes our life more interesting.
Chongqing is quickly becoming a leader in Artificial Intelligence. People can spend several days experiencing the latest and greatest AI toys at the Smart China Expo(智博会) . Chongqing people are most proud of the Smart China Expo in Chongqing in 2018. For example Lijia wisdom garden in Chongqing is a place where people can deeply experience artificial intelligence. There are driverless cars for adults, robot dogs to entertain children, and music robots that sing songs with teenagers. In 2019, Chongqing Gaoxin District has started building the city's largest three-dimensional( 立体的) parking building. Everyone can park their car there very quickly.
Artificial intelligence is the new rising sun in Chongqing.
Why do I say so? First, many people come to Chongqing because of the Smart China Expo. When Chongqing has more tourists, people here can make more money. Second, AI makes people in life and work get simple and convenient experience, from carrying large bags to holding your cell phone calmly, from always doing housework at home to now waiting for the floor-sweeping robot to serve you. Everything is so fantastic.
Artificial intelligence is double-edged- sword(双刃剑). Some people always worry that it will become the boss of humans, and we may lose everything in the end. But I always have a positive mind that when humans use high technology to make a new thing, we must be smarter than it.

2 . A couple often went shopping together. They both liked teacups. One day they saw a beautiful teacup in a store. As they picked it up, it suddenly spoke.
"I haven't always been a teacup. Once I was red clay. My master rolled(揉、搓) me over and over and I shouted, but he only smiled."
"Then I was placed on a rolling wheel and suddenly I went around and around. 'Stop!' I cried, but the master only nodded."
"Then he put me in the oven. I had never felt so hot. I could see him through the opening and I could read his words, 'Not yet.' "
"Finally the door opened, and he took me out and put me on a shelf. Then he brushed me and put me back into the oven. This time it was twice as hot. I begged. I cried. I could see him through the opening nodding his head, saying, 'Not yet.' "
"Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I was ready to give up, but the door opened and I was taken out and placed on a shelf. Later he handed me a mirror and said, 'Look at yourself.' I said, 'That can't be me. It's becautiful!' "
" 'I want you to remember,' he said, 'if I had just left you without rolling, you'd have dried up. If I had stopped rolling you around on the wheel, you would have been out of shape. If I hadn't put you in the oven, you would have broken. If I hadn't brushed you all over, you would not have any color in your life. If I hadn't put you back in that oven for the second time, you wouldn't be kept for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first started with you."
