Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.
AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.
According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self﹣driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.
On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmers for AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.
AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.

I organized a picnic last Sunday,I got up(76)e and called some of my closest friends.First,we decided on a good (77)p to go,and then we talked about what food to bring.Everyone cooked the dishes that could be carried(78) (easy).Everything was put into a backpack and we (79) (take) it across fields.When we finally got there,we sat down eating,and enjoyed a nice day together.And I was quite sure that food tasted much (80) (good) on a picnic than anywhere else!
Where does your food come from?How is it made?These days,many people worry about food safety.But food safety is not a new worry.In 1906,Upton Sinclair wrote the Jungle.The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago.It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared.People were so worried that the U.S.started testing food.
These days,most food in the world is safe.Laws control where food comes from.They also control how food is managed and prepared.Laws are important. But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed.A good food safety system(系统)keeps people safe.It also helps them eat healthy food.Labels(标签)on food give people important information.Then they can make good choices about their food.
Although food safety systems usually work,there can be problems.Sometimes mistakes are made.For example,a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream.The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it.Other problems are not mistakes.Sometimes companies break rules to make more money.When this happens,people don't know if their food is safe.
As we all know,food is closely related to our daily life.We should take actions to make food safer!

In the eyes of many foreigners,Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world.They're not really bad guests,but because the guest﹣host relationship(关系) in China is much different than in some western countries.It seems that they are not nice guests.And western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China,guests are almost like gods(上帝).Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home,there is always fruit on the table for me,and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water.In the west,generally the guest is not a god.Acting according to(根据) the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother,a very kind elderly Chinese lady,doesn't smoke.When I see some of her guests smoking in her house,as a non﹣smoker,I feel unhappy.Usually I want to stop them directly(直接地),but I must realize that in China,to be a good host,she must not do that.In most North America homes,if you are a guest,and the hosts are not smokers,you should not smoke in their house.At the very least,you could ask,"Is it OK if I smoke?"But don't besurprised if the hosts say,"No,you can't smoke."In our culture,if you smoke in their home,you are a bad guest,but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house,they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits.Some western people may not adapt tothese habits very soon.Thankfully my wife is Chinese,so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift.However,giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country.So,if you invite international guests to your home,don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China,you probably won't need to change the guest﹣host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host,and Chinese are naturally very good hosts.If western hosts invite you to their house,try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
