What is the future of AI（人工智能）？Will it be a good thing？ We asked students what they think．
|
I believe AI will be more useful in our future lives． It's now used in many fields， like phones and medicine． No one really knows what will happen if machines become smarter than humans． However， I'm sure AI will help us solve many problems． |
|
I am worried that people create something that can be better than themselves． In the near future， AI will develop at a high speed． Humans may be replaced because Al robots will do lots of human jobs． |
|
I really think that AI will change the way we work， the way we live，and the way we think． Imagine if we could put a CPU inside our brain! Soon we'll be able to improve our math and memory． How exciting！ |
|
Think of what's happening right now． Some robots are used to kill animals under human orders． So I think Al will be very dangerous for humans． We need to be careful about what we ask machines to do． |

"Volunteering makes you look at the world differently． You see how little things can change a person's life for the better， which makes everyone a better person．" Mason， a volunteer said．
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April． It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements． It is also a perfect opportunity （机会） to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer． Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem， because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations （期望）． Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group． Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities．
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries．
★ Start out slowly， don't add too much pressure． Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life．
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values．
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers， even if it is not asked．
★ Work with a veteranvolunteer． He volunteered a lot， he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations．
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve． It is a good experience to volunteer with them．
★ Finally， it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect． If one experience doesn't work， don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity．
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives． As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience， "…little things can change a person's life．"

Edward rose early on the New﹣year morning． He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family． Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet．
When he came back， his father gave him two bright， new silver dollars．
His face lighted up as he took them． He had wished for a long time to buy some petty books that he had seen at the bookstore．
He left the house with a light heart， expecting to buy the books． As he ran down the street， he saw a poor family．
"I wish you a happy New Year．" said Edward， as he was happily passing on． The man shook his head．
"You are not from this country． " said Edward． The man again shook his head， for he could not understand or speak his language． But he pointed to his mouth， and to the children shaking with cold， as if （好像）to say， "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time．"
Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble． He took out his dollars， and gave one to the man ，and the other to his wife．
