Different types of maps have different uses.

Tourist maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places.

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long journeys. Different types of roads are given different numbers. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution maps (分布图) use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, where different languages are spoken, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

Some maps, such as railway maps, use straightlines to show everything. This is easy for people to read. Trains are fast. People don't have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.

Molly's family is Chinese-American. They serve a traditional Chinese meal once a week. Molly invited her friend Amy to join them this week.

Molly's family was busy preparing for dinner when Amy arrived. The house was filled with many good smells. “You can help me set the table,” Molly told her friend. They laid the place settings on the table. They gave each person a pair of chopsticks, a soup bowl, a soup spoon, and a rice bowl.

“Where are the forks and knives?” Amy asked.

“Oh, you won't need those,” Molly explained. “We use chopsticks. But don't worry. I'll show you how to use them.”

The two girls went into the kitchen. Molly's father was cutting vegetables. He threw the vegetables into a large cooking pancoated with(涂有)hot oil.

Amy watched the vegetables cooked. Then Molly's mother asked the girls to carry plates of food to the table. Amy carried the rice. It was one of the few dishes she recognized. There were meat-filled bundles called won-tons, noodles, stir-fried beef and sweet-and-sour chicken.

Amy was a little nervous about eating with chopsticks. Molly gave her directions on how to hold and use chopsticks.

Amy managed to pick up a piece of chicken in her chopsticks. Suddenly, her fingers slipped(松开) and the chicken flew across the table. It landed in Molly's soup. Everyone smiled. “We keeptheseon hand for emergencies(紧急情况),” Molly's father said kindly. He brought out a knife and fork and handed them to Amy. Amy was relieved and ate her dinner. It was delicious!

At the end of the meal, Amy was given a fortune(幸运) cookie. She broke it open and read the fortune inside. It said, “If you practice hard, you will learn many things.” Amy laughed and said, “If you let me take home a pair of chopsticks, my fortune may come true!”

Sophia is a most famous robot. She comes from Hanson Robotics, and David Hanson, head of Hanson Robotics, is her creator. He has been developing robots in the past 25 years. He believes realistic-looking robots will be able to connect with people and help industries such as healthcare and education.

Sophia has many abilities. She can copy human facial expressions, hold conversations andrecognizepeople by their looks or voices. She can also speak，joke，sing and even make music. Now, the next step is to make her an artist. Hanson is so excited about this idea. He imagines Sophia as a creative artwork and she herself can create art as well.

In March, a digital(数字的) artwork Sophia created with an Italian artist, Andrea Bonaceto，was sold for $688.888. The digital work is titled “Sophia Instantiation”. It's a 12-second video which shows Bonaceto's portrait(肖像) changing into Sophia's digital painting. Along with it is the physical artwork painted by Sophia.

The buyer, a digital artwork collector and artist, later sent Sophia a photo of his painted arm. The robot then added that photo to her knowledge and painted more on top of her artwork. Sophia described the work as the first digital artwork cooperated(合作) between an AI and an artwork collector.

Sophia's artwork is part of a growing trend(趋势). More and more digital artworks are on sale now. For example, a digital artwork by an artist, Beeple，was sold for nearly $70 million, becoming the most expensive digital artwork ever sold.

As little children, most of us were taught the virtue (美德) of honesty from stories. The well-known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer. Another story is about the boy who “cried wolf.” In the end, he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times. These types of stories show children that “honesty is the best policy.” Still, ifthisis the case, then why do so many people lie? The fact is that people lie for many reasons.

One reason people lie is to minimize(减少) a mistake. While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time, some people do not have the courage to admit their mistakes because they are afraid they will be blamed. For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they did not do the work at all. These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible, so they make up an excuse – a lie – to save face.

Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection. Parents, particularly those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of “protective” lie in certain situation. What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out? Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, protective lying can mean greater safety.

People lie for many reasons, both good and bad. Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the motives behind the impulse(冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.

How to Study For Exams

Taking exams is stressful, but you can make it easier by improving the way you study. Studying for your exams will keep you from feeling unprepared, and it will set you up for success!

This is easier said than done, but learning how to take good notes will help you once it comes time to study. Write down everything your teacher writes on the board or puts up in slides. Try to record as much of what the teacher says as possible.

Studying in a dark room is not recommended(推荐). Add lamps at night, or in the daytime,

open the window coverings (open the window a little, too). People tend to study and focus better in a brighter room with little noise.

Ask yourself: What is my teacher most likely to ask on the exam? What materials should I focus on to give myself the best chance of knowing what I need to know? This may help you focus on the most important information, rather than getting stuck on things that might not matter as much.

You need some time to have fun and it is better to study when you are feeling relaxed than to exhaust(筋疲力尽) yourself studying all day! Carefully structure your break and study time. Usually, 20-30 minutes of study and then a 5-minute break is the most effective method.

If you don't know the answer to the question, do the next one and come back to it at the end. Struggling and concentrating on a question you don't know the answer to can be time consuming(消耗), which makes you lose valuable marks.

A. Take breaks B. Take good notes C. Turn on the light D. Pay attention in class E. Think of your teacher F. Do the questions you know first

“It's a fun family11,” Hannah says.

“We will do it in the winter too,” Hannah says.

Ben Burinsky, age nine, and his brother, Luke, age seven, were12 relatives when they found their first painted rock in a park. They were so13 that they went home and painted their own rocks, then hid them for others to find.

“My boys loved finding the rock in the park, especially since it was a superhero,” their mother, Judy Burinsky, says. “I love how something so14 can bring a smile to my children's faces.15, they learn the value of giving back to others.”
