Artificial intelligence，or AI，has been applied in a wide range of fields to perform specific tasks，including education, finance, heavy industry, transportation, and so on．

Education

There are a number of companies that create robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology to computer science，though such tools have not become widespread yet．Advancements in natural language processing，combined with machine learning，have also enabled automatic grading of assignments．AI has also led to an explosion in popularity of MOOCs，or Massive Open Online Courses，which allows students from around the world to take classes online．

Finance

Use of AI in banking can be tracked back to 1987．Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations，maintain book-keeping，invest in stocks，and manage properties．Also，systems are being developed，like Atria，to translate complex data into simple and personable language．There are also wallets，like Wallet AI，which monitor an individual’s spending habits and provides ways to improve them．

When 1 was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it．When winter arrived，thick，heavy snow would fall，and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun．I remember watching them with envy because 1 was still too small to go sledding．Finally，one winter 1 was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it．

The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life．It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled．Near the end of the day 1 was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself．I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach．Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside．1 was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course，straight towards one of those big oak trees．My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming．At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree．I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling，“You have to steer(操控)!You have to steer!”

Sadly，that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life．Many times problems，troubles，and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair．I am still learning that life isn’t always safe sledding．I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God．

Life is a trip，but no one ever said it was a smooth ride．Steer well then．Steer straight．Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for．

“There is an old photo in the late 1970s capturing people lining up outside the Shanghai Library before it opens．If that was a spring of reading in Shanghai，now I think another spring has arrived again，”library manager Zhou Deming，told the Shanghai-based The Paper．

The reading booth is the only one of its kind in the city of economic center at the moment，but more are expected to be put into use in the coming months，according to the library’s website．

The Readers program has also led to booths in other cities including Beijing，Hangzhou，Guangzhou and Xi’an to appeal to more people to read and share their life stories．

Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest．But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults．

Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health．That’s true for both teens and adults．The finding inspired Joseph Allen，a psychologist at the University of Virginia，and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health．

So they followed 171 teens，starting when the kids were just 13．They interviewed each one every year for

five years，and also spoke to these teens’closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships．The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25，26 and 27．This time，the questions surveyed each person’s overall health．When the researchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health．Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults．Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health．Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults．The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health．Weight，family income and drug use were all examined．So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression．And in these people，such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did．

Going along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also drawbacks．Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work．And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior，such as smoking，drinking or using drugs．Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，Allen acknowledges．“Finding the right balance is the key．Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy．”And，he adds，“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”

32．Where can you probably read this passage?

A．Science fiction

B．Health column

C．Fashion magazine

D．Entertainment newspaper

33．We can learn from Allen’s study that _______________.

A．many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendships

B．mental health issues have nothing to do with adult health

C．the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27

D．the teens who couldn’t express themselves grew up to be unhealthier

34．According to what Allen said，we can know that _______________.

A．in order to do better at school，teens should not follow the crowd

B．though it’s challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure，they should not give up

C．teens will engage in smoking，drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressure

D．parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends

35．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd．

B．Close friendships are the most important for people’s health．

C．Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults．

D．Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships．

Dear Tom,

Here comes a piece of good news. Chinese Summer Camp, which is intended for international students, is going to be held in our school this summer vacation. Since you are obsessed with Chinese culture, I’d like to invite you to join it.

The Camp is scheduled to last 11 days, from July 18 to July 28. It covers a wide variety of cultural activities, ranging from studying Chinese daily expressions to attending some lectures on Chinese history and traditional culture. As we all know, language is closely related to culture, so I’m convinced that you can dig out Chinese cultural features from language study. In addition, the Camp provides a chance for you to visit some famous museums, which is the best way to learn about the country. By admiring the historical relics, you will definitely gain a better understanding of the country.

If you want to be part of it, please sign up for it before July 2nd at our school website. Looking forward to your early reply.
