Dear Linda,

How are things with you? My sister Helen and I are on vacation now.

We started in the UK. We spent two days in London and another day in Edinburgh. We had a great time. The only bad thing was the weather — it never stopped raining.

Then we took the train to Paris. It was sunny there. We stayed there for three days. My sister really wanted to visit Disneyland Paris, so we went there on the first day. Well, I have to say it was no fun. But we met some nice people from Beijing and spent two great days with them. One of them, Clive, will go to your university (大学) next year.

Then we went to Munich by plane. I bought you a gift there. I hope you'll like it.

After that, we went to Zurich. It was very expensive and we couldn't stay long, so that's why we're in Rome now! Rome is the last stop. We'll come back in four days.

See you then.

Yours,

Mike

    How to build good relationships with people from other cultures? Actually, it is important to learn some communication skill. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    Learn about the culture in advance. A little knowledge can go a long way. So if you have time before going abroad or meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic "do's and don'ts" of that culture. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It's very convenient.

    Be respectful and tolerant. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Signs of these may appear when you communicate with people from other cultures. However, it is not the time to judge people based on these differences during basic communication. Instead, respect them for what they are, and tolerate them.

    Speak clearly and slowly. But do not shout at others even if they don't understand you. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Instead, it can be seen as a rude behavior. What's more, even if there are difficulties in communicating with people from other cultures, do not treat other people as though they are stupid.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} In some cultures, looking another person in the eye when you speak is seen as a sign of honesty and interest. However, in other cultures, it may be disrespectful.

B. Know whether to make eye contact or avoid it.

C. Each culture has its own set of values and beliefs.

Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn't working? Of course, your computer can't "shout" back. But Al researchers have been working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates (辩论) with humans. 

IBM scientists recently published a paper in Nature about their new AI system— Project Debater. It can debate with people in front of a live audience. After listening to arguments from its opponent (对手), the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. And then it looks for ideas that can support its own argument. 

Testing on the system began in 2019. When it debated with Harish Natarajan, a professional debater who holds the world record for the most debate competition victories. The topic was about subsidizing preschool (资助幼儿园) —and Project Debater argued to support this idea. Although Project Debater lost the debate in the end, the audience said it performed very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic—only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan. 

According to Scientific American, results show that the system is able to form logical statements (有逻辑的陈述) . However,  ★ . Their goal is to help humans make better decisions, according to Ranit Aharanoy, manager of the Project Debater team. "It can debate both sides, so it can very quickly help you understand both sides of the problem, so you can have a wider view of the problem and make a more thoughtful decision." Aharanoy said. 

Let's wait and see how the Project Debater will develop in the near future.

A scientist named Charles had a strange idea. He wanted to invent a new kind of car which could go without a driver. It could also be used as a living room. That means you can go anywhere on your sofa in the car. You might say that it's impossible. But Charles succeeded in making it in a factory and named it Tridika.

Tridika has no wheels and it starts working when it reaches the magnetic levitation tracks(磁悬浮轨道). It takes its energy from the tracks. And it works in the same way as a magnetic train. It moves very fast. As everyone knows, cities are developing rapidly. There are more and more cars running on the road. So parking space is limited. Sometimes it's hard to find a place to park(停车). Tridika can solve this problem easily because it needn't park on the ground. Actually, it can part on the outside wall of the building with the help of an elevator system(电梯系统). In this way, much parking space can be saved. When Tridika parks itself in front of your apartment, you can get into your room directly. Of course, there must be a side door in the outside wall. Then Tridika becomes another living room. It's really amazing, isn't it?

Tridika can hold six passengers. So you can go on vacation in it with your family in your free time. Of course it can also be used as an office while you are travelling on the road. That is to say, you can travel and work at the same time.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. They can also be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in you class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dreams.

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

Also you must never give up your dream. There will be barriers on the way to your dreams. Don't be afraid of them. They are not so hard. The biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Turn off the TV. Studying will help you get better exam grades. Don't buy ice-cream. Saving five yuan means you can buy a new book.

As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
