    While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students computer or phone screens. His name is Bill.
    Created by technology company Smart Machines, Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers.
    Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back. This two-way exchange helps get the students' attention.
    The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost. Frost says, "What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention. "Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones. unexpected situations that educators face daily.

It's reported that the grades of English in the National College Entrance Examination (全国高考) will be reduced. Now he feels very up-set about the news. ⑵ Helen is excited to be a middle school student next term.

    The novel coronavirus outbreak( 新型冠状病毒爆发) is not only changing people's greetings, but also some traditions, customs and lifestyles. Let's see a few examples.
    Spain
    Every year, thousands of people in Spain kiss sculptures (雕像) of the Virgin Mary in the week leading up to Easter, which falls on April 12 this year. They wait in a line to kiss the hands or feet of sculptures of Mary, looking for her protection. With less than a month to go before the week starts, the tradition could be banned (禁止). "It is one of the actions that is on the table," said Fernando Simon.
    Romania
    Romania's Martisor festival marks the beginning of spring. To celebrate, people give flowers to each other and kiss. Usually, men give the flowers to women. But the government has passed on a message suggesting that people hand over the flowers without the kiss this year.
    Brazil
    Chimarrao, a kind of caffeine-rich (富含咖啡因的) drink, is a favorite in Brazil. The drink is commonly shared among groups of friends. When sharing chimarrao, the tea is passed around in a metal cup with a metal straw (吸管), and everyone takes turns drinking from it. It's clearly not safe to do this now. The Brazilian health ministry has suggested that people should not share their metal straws.
