1 . Chinese first artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) textbook for high school students has recently come out in Shanghai. Forty high schools around the country have started AI lessons.

The book is mainly about the history of AI and how AI can be used in areas such as facial recognition (人脸识别), public security (公共安全) and auto driving.

Peng Yu is a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He took part in writing the textbook. “The book has a good introduction to the area so that students can decide if they want to further study AI at college. Students can also find out what they need to learn if they are interested in studying AI. For example, they have to learn math really hard because it is the start of AI.” Peng said.

Peng said AI has improved the interest of many high school students already. He thinks everyone should learn something about AI because it will be part of our everyday lives. Although AI in China develops really fast, it is reported that China needs at least 5 million AI talents to keep up with development in the future.

2 . I am Tony. As a kid, I always like to draw.

My fifth grade teacher was Mr. Smith. He knew I loved drawing. One day, I had to do a speaking book report.     1     I tried hard to give the book report, but did a terrible job.

Mr. Smith gave me another chance. The book had some wonderful illustrations (插图), but not many.     2     “Listen, Tony,” he said, “I want you to read the book again. This time, I want you to draw your original (原创的) illustrations for the book.”

So with the pencil in hand, I went back and re-read the book.     3     It became tips for me to draw different scenes (场景). After I finished the reading, I was very excited to share my report with the class. I felt a confidence that I had never experienced before.

    4     I started to read all kinds of books. I began to draw my original pictures of the characters from the books. I drew the dragon from The Hobbit, Ron from Harry Potter and more. I put these drawings on the walls of my room.

Later, I became a writer and illustrator. I love my job and have been doing for more than 20 years.     5     He was an amazing teacher—he helped me get to where I am today!

6 . What represents China?

China has a long history of over 5,000 years. What can be a symbol of China? Let’s hear from five middle school students who shared their thoughts.

    1     The Great Wall represents China in my eyes. It is about 21,000 kilometers long and over 2,000 years old. It shows how strong and smart China is. There is a famous Chinese saying, “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.”

Di Xinran, Shenzhen
