It's amazing that Chinese police are using facial-recognition tech to catch criminals. Police in Beijing are reportedly testing out new smart glasses with facial-recognition technology. The smart tech, which {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) in many checkpoints to find suspects presently.

    Some people will certainly be worried about the possibility of police using facial-recognition tech to flag individuals, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the chief executive thinks that there is no reason {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the concern, because he trusts the government. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (Interesting), this is not the first time that facial recognition has been used to stop wrongdoers in Beijing. In 2017, we reported on how visitors were having their faces scanned automatically in a certain restroom in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} capita] city to prevent locals from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (steal) the paper for use at home.

    Authorities in Shenzhen, China, have also set up artificial intelligence-powered CCTV cameras to scan the faces of those {#blank#}7{#/blank#} cross the streets unlawfully and display their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (identity) on large LED screens for all people to see.

    If that isn't punishment enough, plans are now in place {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (link) the current system with cellular technology, so offenders will also be sent a text message with a fine as soon as they are caught {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cross) the road against traffic lights.

    Life has become difficult for many villages, and some are disappearing. There are a number {#blank#}1{#/blank#} reasons for this. Firstly, young people from villages usually want to live somewhere livelier and they often move to the towns and do not return. Secondly, people move to the cities to find work, as there are often very few jobs in the countryside. Sometimes villages remain {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people from the cities have bought a "second home" in the village, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they come and stay at weekends. The price of houses {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(go) up and people from the area cannot afford {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( buy) a house there. Another problem is that it is becoming more and more difficult for farmers to make money from the farms. So they sell their land and find another job.

    The Chinese Culture Center in Paris, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(locate) in downtown areas opposite the celebrated historic sites of Grand Palais and Petit Palais across the Seine River, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(sit) next to a large number of grand handsome and elegant classical architectures that have witnessed the evolution of Paris at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (vary) historical stages. It conforms to(符合) the status of China, a great power with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} lasting civilization of several thousand years in the East, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (set) the Chinese Cultural Center in this exact place.

    The amazing progress in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (smooth) selecting the site for the Chinese Culture Center and putting it into {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (operate) in downtown Paris in such a short period was due to high priority of the Chinese government and constructive cooperation of the French party. Wu Jianmin, Chinese ambassador to France,  said {#blank#}8{#/blank#}excitement, "We have our own cultural center in Paris at last, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}we have eventually realized the long cherished wish of my predecessor(前任) in the Chinese embassy." Hou Xianghua, the first director of the Chinese Cultural Center in Paris, said the center will stick to its "non-governmental" nature and greet people from all {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (walk) of life, in addition to serving the mainstream society.

    "Living within 300 metres of green space {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (associate) with greater happiness, sense of worth and life satisfaction," says a new study. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) data from UK government's Annual Population Survey (APS) of 25518 people, the researchers show that people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} live within 300 metres of green space have significantly better mental well-being. "A lot of research focuses {#blank#}4{#/blank#} poor mental health, or single aspect of well-being like life satisfaction. What makes our work different is the way we consider multi-dimensional mental well-being in terms of happiness, life satisfaction and worth," said Victoria Houlden from the University of Warwick.

    The study, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (publish) in the journal Applied Geography, found that there is a very strong relationship between the amount of green space around a person's home {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  their feelings of life satisfaction, happiness, and self-worth. Green space within 300 metres of home made the greatest {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (differ) to mental well-being. The study found that access to green space was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (important) than lifestyle factors such as employment, income and general health. "By {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (combine) advanced statistical and mapping methods, we've shown that the effect is real. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (basical) we've proven what everyone has always assumed was true," said Scott Weich, Professor at the University of Sheffield.
