Many homes have cameras to protect them from danger．The cameras can tell the owners if someone has entered．But the cameras do not know whether the person is a family member，a friend，a postman or a criminal （罪犯）．
But a new camera made by a French company can recognize （辨别出） faces．It can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school，or that the mail has been sent to their home．It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home．When family members enter a home，the smart camera"recognizes"them and sends information to the owner's phone．The owner can choose to see the video then or later．But if an unknown person enters a home，the camera will send a warning sound on the owner's phone．
This is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien．He lives in Paris．
"On a Friday I was at work，having a big monthly meeting when my phone moved．At first I told myself'Oh，it must be a wrong warn，'but my phone was telling me there was a face that the camera did not recognize．Something was happening in my house!"
"I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on，which is not allowed in my apartment （公寓）．I watched it on the video．I felt quite surprised．I hurried back home as fast as possible and called the police on the way．Thanks to the smart camera，the criminal was caught soon，"said Damien．

A wild baby bison （野牛） at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists．
The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold．They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger （管理员） station．

Many of you have heard a Cinderella （灰姑娘） story，but you may not know that there are over a hundred different ways to tell the Cinderella story．When writers tell the same story in a different way，it is called their"version"of the story．The story of Cinderella has many different versions．Let's read two of them and find out how they are different．
The version that most people know is the oldest one written in 1697by Charles Perrault from France．This is the version where the birds help make Cinderellas's dress and the mice turn into carriage men （马车夫） and help Cinderella go to the dance in a pumpkin （南瓜） carriage．In this version，many of the animals are Cinderella's friends．They help her meet the Prince．Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily together ever after．
In another version of this story written in the 1850s by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm from Germany，the birds help Cinderella in the whole story．Cinderella's father gives her a little tree when he comes back from a party．She plants the little tree and her tears water it until it grows into a tall tree．
The birds now live in the tree and they give Cinderella a dress of gold and shoes of gold．Cinderella goes to the party to meet and dance with the Prince．Later，he finds Cinderella at home doing work for her stepmother （继母）．Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily ever after．
Now you can understand what the word"version"means and how more than one writer can tell a story in a different way．That is why there are may versions of the same story．
