The Internet is shaping our lives． We already have online shopping services and mobile payment． However， this is just a start． The world's leading tech companies are planning to build smarter online communities．（1） It was held in Wuzhen， Zhejiang last year． The development of artificial intelligence（AI， 人工智能） was a hot topic at the conference． If a machine can learn and solve problems as humans do， it can be called AI．
The company Alibaba uses AI technology in its unmanned supermarket in Wuzhen． There is no salesperson in the supermarket， just a tablet on a desk that says "please smile"． （2） The bigger you smile， the more discounts（折扣） you get． Payment is done automatically through your Alipay account． When you first enter the supermarket， the supermarket's AI recognizes your face and your account．
There is also AI that can read lips． （3） It recognizes your mouth's movements and turns them into voice or text messages． This could be very useful when you are trying to talk to someone on your phone in a noisy place． Police could also use the technology to help them find criminal suspects by lip﹣reading recordings from video cameras．
（4） Microsoft's chatbot XiaoIce can not only provide useful information， but also chat with people like a real friend． XiaoIce has a WeChat account． After following the account， users can start talking with her． （5） She keeps improving herself by talking with users．
These technologies are being put into wider use． We may see a smarter world and better lives in the near future．

Reading Enriches Our Minds
Reading is really important． （1） ，we can get knowledge through reading， which not
only broadens our horizons （ 拓宽视野）， but also makes （2） cleverer and happier． Moreover，our school studies can be greatly improved if we keep reading， and we think （3） our future will become brighter．
However， some （4） spend too much time （5） their cell﹣phones to listen to music， watch movies or play on﹣line games and this will take much of their spare time． So I would like to suggest that everyone should do more reading （6） good books， especially read Chinese classic novels every day so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to （7） world． Meanwhile， we can enrich our minds quite a lot by reading regularly and it is also good for us to get fully developed （8） it can help improve our writing skill． Surely， we can read books alone， or read books with our friends．
All in all， doing reading （9） us much good if we do it from now on， and it is strongly（10） that we should make reading become a habit of our life， do you agree with me？
