3 . Modern technology has a strong influence on every part of our life, including the education in the universities.
Ashok Goel, a professor of Georgia Institute of Technology, says he uses the Internet in almost all of the classes he teaches. Every term over 300 graduate students take his class on artificial intelligence (人工智能). The students never meet in person. All of the classes take place online — through a website, which lets students ask questions and complete their work from anywhere in the world.
Having hundreds of students in a class means Ashok Goel has to answer thousands of questions. He has eight teaching assistants to help him. But even that is not enough to give all the students the help they need.
So, in January, Goel had an idea. He decided to try an experiment. At the start of the spring 2016 term, he added a new member to his teaching team: Jill Watson. She was able to answer questions faster than most other teaching assistants. And she was available 24 hours a day.
It was only at the end of the term that Goel’s students learned Watson’s true identity: she was not a real person like the other teaching assistants. Jill Watson was an AI computer program.
And it seems Goel’s stories will become more common in the universities.
A website called Campus Technology publishes stories about how colleges and universities use new technology. In August, the site published a survey of over 500 professors and their use of technology. Fifty-five percent of the professors asked students to use study materials online before coming to class. And, more than 70 percent combined (使相结合) online materials and face-to-face teaching in their classrooms.

5 . Kids love to play. It is the way they learn new things and it even helps them with their growth and development. But what happens when some children can’t find a toy that represents them, looks like them, or has the disabilities that they do?
Amy Jandrisevits has found a way to give every child a toy that matches them. She creates a nonprofit organization called “A Doll Like Me”. She spends her time sewing beautiful, custom-made dolls that match their owners. For children with disabilities, this means their doll may have a birthmark or a missing limb, just like them. The therapeutic value kids get from these dolls is great.
Jandrisevits explained, “I am excited that I still get to play with dolls many years later. I love being able to combine my passion for social work with creativity. It is an honor to be invited into lives filled with beauty, tragedy, joy, pain and pride. It’s heartwarming when I see the kids responses.
“My doll has a baby hand and I have a baby hand. My doll has a big hand and I have a big hand.” These are the things kids have said about their custom-made dolls. Jandrisevits said, “We cannot experience true empathy until we look into the faces of these children, watch their reactions to receiving a doll, and hear what they say about themselves. Some of them have long struggled with how they look. Parents now tell me how the comments have shifted from ‘What’ wrong with your daughter?’ to ‘How amazing it is that her doll looks just like her!’. That’s an entirely different message, isn’t it?”
A Doll Like Me is now creating diversity in kids’ toys and allowing children with disabilities to be represented by what they play with. And it means the world to them. Jandrisevits said, “Remember that what makes us different also makes us beautiful and because of that, everyone deserves to look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”

7 . Richard is a very a successful businessman. It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop. He wasn’t aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning, which was a sort of alarm. And then what happened? He had a week’s leave during which time he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach, which has enabled Richard to return to work again.
In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.”
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax — this has become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.
How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week — for followers of some religions — for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.
Rest is s spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.
