    Sometimes I really want to know if (是否) there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy making money for our life. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). "Mum, is there1between you and dad?" I asked.

    With surprise in2eyes, my mum stopped her work for a moment. Then she said,“Susan, look at this thread (线). You can't see it easily, 3 it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."

Have you ever kept putting your head down to look at a screen until your neck hurts？1 so，you've experienced tech neck.Tech neck takes place when the use of phones，computers and other technology causes neck pain.These days it's a common problem2 .

Your neck muscles（肌肉） are designed to hold your3 upright（竖直的）.They can also move your head around.But bending（弯曲） your head forward4 a long time can pull your muscles hard.That can make them5 .

In the past people spent most of their time looking up.But now people spend more time looking6 at their phones.They often hold them far below the head.This causes people to have to crane（伸长） their necks to see the phone7 which，in turn，causes tech neck.Bending over to watch the screen of a computer on a desk can have a similar8 .

It might be impossible to expect people to give up their phones to 9 tech neck.And completely refusing technology isn't necessary.However，you can do10 to improve this situation.

First，you can hold your phone up higher——so you don't have to bend down to look at it.But this can be tiring for your either11 .So keep your head upright，and look only with your eyes.When using the computer，try to12 straight as well.Slumping in front of a screen can hurt your back.

Also，take13 .Once in a while，look up from your screen，and move your shoulders back.If you've been sitting14 at times to relax your muscles.

If you continue experiencing tech neck，you can do exercises to feel good.Tech neck is a 15 result of using today's technology，but it doesn't have to be.If you are serious about the problem，you can take actions to avoid it.

 Do you know about the Color Run? Some people say it's the happiest running experience in the world. The sport is a 5- km run where everyone throws colored dust(粉末) at each other. The sport is very popular in the US and it's getting more popular in China, too.

 The sport is similar to an Indian holiday called Holi. The holiday came from stories about good beating evil(邪恶), but today it's about having fun. Everyone throws colored dust at each other and shouts" Happy Holi".

 The Color Run doesn't have a time limit(限制), and there are no winners or prizes. The only rule is that runners have to start the race wearing all white. They want everyone to forget about competition and just enjoy the experience.

 During the race, after every kilometer, there are people holding colored dust who will splash (泼洒) you with it. By the end of the race, the runners will be covered with all the colors.

Artificial intelligence(AI) can now do amazing things. ChatGPT is an AI that can answer questions, tell stories, and do much more. But it's very" thirsty", said a new study.

When ChatGPT works, its" home"- data(数据) centers around the world- gets very hot. Workers then have to use water to cool them down. Cold water goes into pipes(管道) near the computers at these centers. Because the computers are very hot, the water turns into vapor(水蒸气) and goes into the air. The water needs to be super clean. If they use sea water, it can eat away the pipes.

If you ask ChatGPT 20 to 50 questions, it needs to" drink"a 500- milliliter bottle of water. When people trained ChatGPT, it used 700,000 liters of water, said the study. This is the amount that is needed to make about 370 cars.

ChatGPT is not the only one that needs data centers. Everything you do on the internet needs data centers to work. There are more than 8,000 data centers in the world, said a report in 2021. The number is still growing. If AI keeps using a lot of water, we may have to" fight" with AI for water.

"Rock, paper and scissors" is a typical game which gave us {#blank#}1{#/blank#} memory in our childhood. It is said that people played it widely 2,000 years ago in China. Today, people play it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the world. In Indonesia, it's known as"ant, person, elephant". People in Singapore play"bird, stone, water". People use different hand {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in different countries. But the instruction of the game is the same all over the world.

 Many people think"rock, paper, scissors" is all about luck. But the game is not {#blank#}4{#/blank#} accidental. A 2014 study in China {#blank#}5{#/blank#} two key patterns in the way people played. The fact is that the winner always repeat his winning hand gestures.

 So what's the best way to win this game? Expert players not only think about their next move, but also what their players' next move might be.
