Going back to school in September is always cool. Seeing old friends and making new friends are really exciting.
Rebecca was an old friend of Sheila, her classmate. Sheila liked playing football, and Rebecca had the same hobby.
There was a new girl in the classroom. Her name was Mary Brown. Unlike the others in the class, Mary was very quiet. She always sat by herself during lunch. At playtime, she didn't ask anyone to play with her, and no one asked her to play with them either. Rebecca was thinking about going over to talk to her, but that was when they would be able to join a football team in the youth league. Rebecca was so busy that Mary was soon forgotten.
The teacher gave out some homework. It was a composition. Rebecca decided to write a piece about Fiona, which is a cat, a Christmas gift from her dad. As a result, everyone liked Rebecca's composition.
At lunchtime of the third day, Rebecca was about to talk to Mary when Sheila stopped her with an angry look towards the table where the new girl was sitting by herself. Rebecca walked away feeling so embarrassed.
She told her parents what had happened at school. Rebecca said, "I want to talk to a new friend, but I don't want to lose my old ones." Her father thought for a moment and asked, "Rebecca, what do you think courage means?" Rebecca replied, "Isn't that when our soldiers go to war to fight for us?" Her dad said, "Well, yes. That is one kind of courage. But to do something that you are afraid to do is a different kind of courage."
Rebecca's mum reached over, holding her daughter's hand, and said, "If Sheila is really your friend, she will understand and still be your friend. Just do what you want to do."

6 . Being responsible is universally agreed to be one of the keys to success.

·Talk about responsibility.
·
| A．Be a role model. |
| B．Avoid constant rewards. |
| C．Unfortunately, responsibility can’t be learnt overnight. |
| D．Your praise will go a long way in making your kids responsible. |
| E．The earlier you start off, the sooner you can teach your kids to be responsible. |

7 . As you may have noticed, machine learning and artificial intelligence are two of the hottest areas in technology today. One company that seems to have been caught flat-footed in the artificial intelligence race is Apple. To successfully participate in new markets, Apple is seeking ways to combine its strategy in Siri and artificial intelligence.
Apple’s voice assistant Siri significantly falls behind competing smart speakers from Amazon and Google. Take HomePod, Apple’s smart-speaker product for example, though reviews praised the device for having excellent sound quality, Siri’s poor accuracy could limit its usefulness. Besides, the high price of the device also made it a harder sell than it would have been. Apple charges for the HomePod $350 while the competing Echo Plus, for example, costs $150.
If Apple wants to successfully participate in new markets, and keep its core iPhone and iPad products competitive well into the future, it needs to go from zero to hero in artificial intelligence. The company recently hired John Giannandrea, who previously led Google’s artificial intelligence efforts. And the company gave him more power, which seemed to suggest that Apple is really trying to rework its entire strategy in this field. Under this new specialist in artificial intelligence, some positive changes will take place in Apple’s artificial intelligence development.
However, let’s be realistic. A management change isn’t going to affect Apple’s products and technologies that we have seen for some time. Developing good software is a long process, especially considering the possibility that Apple will effectively throw out the current generation of Siri and start from beginning.
Nevertheless, one reason that I’m hopeful is that Apple seems to understand that it has a problem here and is making efforts to change the situation. If Apple is successful in reshaping its artificial intelligence efforts and continues to fund them appropriately, then there’s a reasonable chance that within a few years, it won’t be a laggard(落后者) in this field but a leader.

8 . When you think of Chinese food in the US, fried rice, or General Tso’s chicken may first come to mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents 18 different regional cooking styles of China.
“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, an organizer of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America. “Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation.” That’s why the organizers say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the US, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into home kitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.
“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains Audra Ang, another organizer.
One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’s meals when she was a child. “I still miss the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook,” she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.
