People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.

    Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course.

    Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

    Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

    Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them;

    Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time.

    Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强)our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.

    With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter how old you are. So I think people should read books

Every person has his birthday. People in different countries spend their birthdays in different ways. Here are four people from different countries. They are talking about how they usually spend their birthdays in their countries.

Jack comes from Spain. "My twenty-first birthday is on a Saturday , " he says. " I'm going out with my friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they will pull on my ear twenty-one times, once for each year. It's an old habit. Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very strict! "

Mr. Sato is from Japan. He's going to be sixty tomorrow." In my country, people call the sixtieth birthday Kanreki, " he says. " It's the start of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so they always have something red for the sixtieth birthday. "

Phillip, from France, smiles and says, "I'm going to be thirty next week, so I want to ask three very good friends out to have dinner. In France, when you have birthday, you often ask people out with you. In some countries, I know it's opposite- people usually take you out. "

Li Xiao is a Chinese girl from Beijing. She is happy and tells us, " Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. It's a special day. So we're going to have a family party. l can get some money in lucky envelopes(信封)from my family. My mother will cook noodles that are for a long life. "

 Do you think artificial intelligence （AI） should be used in schools？Experts believe that AI tools should be safely and properly used in schools rather than be banned （禁止）. 

Zheng Qinghua，president of Tongji University，suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge，and it also influences teaching，learning and school management，Zheng mentioned many models such as Ernie Bot，an AI chatbot product of Baidu，were widely used among college students in China. The tool can write articles，solve science problems，and help students with homework and tests. 

Besides，a survey done by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT to help with homework. This made people worry about the bad influence of AI on education. For example，students may not be honest. Instead of simply depending on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests，people should focus on using AI to help students improve professional skills. In this way，they can better solve real﹣world problems，said Zheng. 

According to Colin Bailey，president of Queen Mary University of London，as ChatGPT grows rapidly，the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education，but on how to use it safely，effectively，and properly. Banning AI in schools is not the solution. Bailey also warned about harm caused by poorly designed （设计的） AI. 

Efforts to manage AI have come out around the world. In China，some rules for managing AI services have been carried out. America and England also have had similar rules. 

Where do you usually study on the weekends? Some students like to study in the library while others prefer to study at home. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Many students find the comfort of their own space helpful for studying. A familiar environment can make it easier to manage stress. You have all your things around you, and you don't have to think about lunch. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} There are a lot of advantages to studying at home. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Your comfortable bed may keep you from paying full attention to your studies. Don't use a place of rest as a place to work. If your bedroom becomes a place for both, your brain may do both tasks poorly. 

Libraries are specially built for reading and studying. There are lots of helpful books, and you can form a study group with other students. But libraries also have their disadvantages. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} It can be hard to get a seat, and there may be noise. 

It can be difficult to decide whether your home or the library is a better place to study. Some experiments（实验） are needed. Take a task like reading. First, try studying in your living room. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} After each experiment, take notes to describe how you feel and how well you are able to focus. This way you can discover your preferred study environment. 

Breakfast is very important for us. If we want to be 1 , we should have a good breakfast every day. For breakfast, we can eat many kinds of 2 , like eggs, bread, milk and so on. They are really 3 for our health.

Eating breakfast is a good eating habit(习惯), 4 many students don't eat breakfast in the morning. That's because they 5 late or their parents don't cook for them. As students, if we don't have breakfast, we may not 6 very well at school. We may become unhealthy and get ill 7 . So we should have 8 every day.

I think everyone should have 9 healthy eating habits. And then we'll 10 longer and better.

People always think that mother's love is the greatest love in the word. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as much as possible. In your waking hours(醒着的时候) , she always holds you in her {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . When you are ill, she stops her work right now to look after you day and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and forgets about herself. When you are growing up day by day, she feels very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . When you are old enough to go to school, mother still looks after you all the time. On cold winter days, she always tells you to put on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} clothes. She always stands in the wind and{#blank#}6{#/blank#} for you back from school. When you hurry to leave home for school with little breakfast, she always feels {#blank#}7{#/blank#} about you at home. She usually knows about your study and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} much money on your school things. When you do well at school, the brightest smile will be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} her face.

 Mother is always ready to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} everything to her children, not to receive. What true love that is in the world! We will remember Mother's Love forever.
