    One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

    In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, while Americans would call it the second floor.

    The story shows that there are a few culture differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.

    The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to talk with.

    The British and Americans may use different terms for many things. The British usually use “football”, “eraser” and “mail” while Americans prefer to use “soccer”, “rubber” and “post”.

(1)、Which picture shows us where Rick's flat was?
A、 B、 C、 D、
(2)、According to the passage, the British usually spend their time _______ on the train.

Scientist have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words. It's the first time it's been done without having to put anything into the brain. They used artificial intelligence (AD). It is the name given to a computer system that is able to "think" for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence. 

Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active. People taking part in the experiment (listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned. The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened. 

The results had about a50%accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned "I don't have my driver's license yet" into "She has not even started to learn to drive yet". It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had learnt form one person but it was tested on another, it couldn't understand their thoughts. 

The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, "We want to make sure people only use these types of technololgies when they want to, and that it helps them." The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.

How to have good friends? Here are some tips for you.

Choosing Friends

Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends with the same interests. But that doesn't mean you have to be like each other. It's OK if you enjoy some of the same things.

Making Friends

●The quickest way to make friends is to smile. Remember that most people hate an angry face

●One easy way to star a conversation with someone is to say something nice. For example, you could talk about a great answer to a teacher's question,a good catch at the ball field and so on.

●Ask your new friends questions about themselves." Who's their favorite singer? Where do they live? What do they do after school?" are all good questions

●Be a friend. If you show an interest in other kids and are kind and friendly, you can make good friends.

Having Activities

It's always fun to play your favorite activities with you friends together. For example, inviting a friend to your house is a great way to make your friendship closer. Make sure the activities can be done together. You may both love playing computer games, but if one person is playing and the other has nothing to do but watch, it's not fun.

Friendship is an important part in our life, because friends make us happy and support us through hard times. If you are still waiting for your" friends", start with the tips above.
