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！

Playing for Friendship

Ping pong，or table tennis，might seem like an ordinary game to play with friends or family，but it holds a special place in China﹣US relations，as it has helped both countries get along for the last 50 years.This has been called "ping pong diplomacy （乒乓外交）".

Remember books？ The paper kind．With pages．In the old days before computers，to get information，people read books and newspapers．Students spent hours and hours in the library，looking for information in the old books for homework． Now students can find anything on the internet in seconds．The library was a place where everyone was quiet． Sing along to music？Never! Watch a movie on phone while they are reading？ Impossible! But now students can watch videos about their research topic as they write a paper．

Before computers， articles were handwritten． If a student made a mistake， he would throw the paper away and start writing all over again． Now？ If a student makes a mistake， he can just remove or cut it． Students type on their computers and edit （编辑） freely． But they should save their writing in time on the computer because it may stop working suddenly． Who wants to lose his hard work forever？

Communication online is easy and fun． While students are writing ， they can discuss with friends in another window ．Did you think they were chatting （聊天） with someone in the real same room？ No! They're chatting with everyone in their own room．

Technology helps us get important information in no time．In areas where bad weather is a problem，we can get warnings from our phone． Our local radio or TV station can give information about where to get help or what to do to keep our family and home safe．

Technology is our friend!

Can plants talk？Modern research has found something amazing：they do communicate with each other.

It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other.This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects.The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten.This is like a warning，or a call for help："I'm being attacked!"When another plant gets the chemicals，it starts to give out its own，different chemicals.Some of these chemicals drive insects away.Others attract the wasps （黄蜂；蜜蜂）!The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants.Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system，so that we can use it to grow more crops.

     More surprisingly，plants also use sound to communicate.People can't hear these sounds，but plants are making them.Some plants make noises with their roots.Corn and chili plants do this.Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.

     Most surprisingly of all，plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest.Scientists call this system the "wood wide web".The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi （霉菌）.It links the roots of different plants to each other.It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use.Using the wood wide web，plants can share information and even food with each other.However，it may lead to bad effects.Plants may use it to steal food from each other，or spread chemicals to attack other plants.Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a "firewall" to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.

    Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other.Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to "talk" with them ourselves.

（1）What will plants do when they are attacked by insects？ 　　

A.They will kill the insects by themselves.

C.By sharing food and information with each other.

D.By spreading chemicals to each other.

C.To call on people to protect the plants on Earth.

D.To inspire people to communicate with plants.

Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰）from his son．He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly．

After several months，the king came to see how the training was going．He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky，while the other was staying on the branch（树枝）of a tree quietly，just keeping still．

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．
