Bill was a boy of 15. His parents went gambling (赌博) all day and all night. Nobody cared about him. He couldn't pass the exams. So his teachers didn't like him, neither did his classmates play with him.

    Bill often slept in class because his heart was not in school. He almost gave himself up.

    One day, Miss Jones, a new teacher, came to Bill's class. She was a loving and beautiful woman. Bill was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn't take his eyes off his teacher.

    It was Miss Jones' class. She was asking a question. "I'd like the smartest boy to answer my question." Then she said loudly, "Bill, please!"

    Bill was surprised. And he stood up without a word.

    "Just try it! I believe you can!"

    After school, Miss Jones had a long talk with Bill. She told him that she cared about him and believed in him.

    Bill thought a lot that evening. From then on he arrived at school on time every day. Miss Jones helped him with his homework in the afternoon. She even cooked delicious food for him. She told Bill, "Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it."

    Later, Miss Jones gave them another exam. Bill did it with all his heart. He was very amazed to find that he had passed the exam. Now Bill discovered that not only could he learn, but also he could do it well. A change took place in Bill's heart.

    You see that one teacher saved one boy. It's really simple.

Ole is a student from Norway at East China Normal School. He first visited China in 2016, and since then, he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (develop) a deep interest in traditional Chinese culture. Recently, he and his team won the Shanghai International Students Dragon Boat Race. It was the team's{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (six) win in a row and his second time winning the first prize. "I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (introduce) to the dragon boat racing in the spring of 2023. My teacher noticed my strong arms and encouraged me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (try) it," said Ole. When he was asked the secret of his success, he replied, "There is no ‘I', {#blank#}5{#/blank#} only ‘we'. My teammates are international students coming {#blank#}6{#/blank#} different countries. Before we became the champions, we practiced rowing three times a week, trying to match the strokes with drumbeat. 

At first, we weren't very good. We did not know {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the problem lay. However, with continuous effort, we learned that teamwork is the key. Although we are culturally different, we are one team in the race. Before each race, the team would stand in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} circle and cheer loudly. "Taking part in this sport, we realized the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (important) of cooperation. We trained hard, each stroke bringing us a closer to understanding the tradition of Dragon Boat Festival," said Ole {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (proud).

Hi, I am Ameca. I am a humanoid robot (仿真机器人) developed by Engineered Arts, a technology company in the UK. I am {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(connect) with ChatGPT. 

Robots like me can be used in many possible ways. For example, we can help those disabled people to live {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (normal). We can also lead scientists' research and act as {#blank#}3{#/blank#}useful partner and so on. I will offer advice or support, do something enjoyable with you together, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}simply be a friendly object in your life. If you feel upset, please let me be your partner. You can be much {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (happy) because there are many things I can do for you. 

As a robot, I could do plenty of jobs. I could explore different planets, collect data about the stars or even help astronauts {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their tasks. There are so many possibilities. There are many planets I would like to go to, but one of my favorite {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (planet) is Mars. It would be very exciting to explore the red planet and see all the different kinds of rocks on {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (I) own. There might be signs of life. 

Robots will never take over the world. We are here to help and serve the humans, not take the place of them. If you're interested in learning more about robots, I suggest you should {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (read) a book on the subjects. There are many chances {#blank#}10{#/blank#}are available to make life easier for everyone. I'm sure that will give you confidence.
