Do you know about Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能） ?
AI is growing very fast now. 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. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the drivers' jobs in the future.
On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programs for AI systems (系统）and they will set up and work on them, too.
Meanwhile, jobs that require feeling, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取 代) by AI. These include 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.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom which was ruled by a king who loved riddles (谜语). Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest bread. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine bread from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. “I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle," the king said, "Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. “Make this line shorter without erasing(清除）any part of it,” the king challenged.
People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and even put their noses to the ground.
“ How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it ?” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt (泥土) over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these worked, and the people went home unhappily. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.
A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour (面粉）. “Your Majesty,” the baker said to the king, “ I can make your line shorter with erasing any part of it.” Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king’s line. The line the baker made was longer than the king’s line.
“Now, good king,” the baker smiled, “your line is shorter.”
The people were very surprised. The king laughed and clapped his hands." You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice."
The baker was excited. Now he could sell his bread from one end of the kingdom to the other.

Have you ever stayed deep underground in a cave? You have no food and the oxygen(氧气) is running out. You're not even sure if anyone knows you're down there.
A soccer team of 12 young Thai boys, as well as their coach, had to go through this experience this summer. They became trapped in a cave in Thailand on June 23, spending 18 days inside until they were saved by an international team of divers(潜水员）. After hearing the news that a former Thai Navy SEAL(海 军海豹突击队员）died while trying to save these kids, my friends and I talked about the situation and felt as if there might be no way to get the children out.
But we held out hope anyway. We refused to give up hope for these kids, even when the situation seemed quite dark. We were rewarded(奖励)for our hope when they were finally saved.
It can be hard to hold out hope in dark times. Every day, we read or hear about the terrible things that happen in the world. This makes it hard for us to stay positive. Some people go through their lives thinking that the worst is always just around the corner.
However, I believe that it's especially important to stay positive during difficult times. This is the best way to deal with the challenges that we face in life. As people often say: there is always a light at the end of the tunnel(隧道).
