Recently, HUAWEI, one of China's best high-tech companies, has launched(发布) an app called StorySign, that will make it easier for deaf children to read stories.

Some AI skills from HUAWEI are used in the app. They help deaf children read by turning written text into sign language. A character called Star in the app makes it easier to use the app.

Users can also choose a book from the app's library that is then shown in sign language using cartoon characters. The first book on the StorySign platform(平台) is the popular children's book Spot the Dog.

次北固山下(唐 王湾)

客路青山外,行舟绿水前。

潮平两岸阔,风正一帆悬。

海日生残夜,江春入旧年。

乡书何处达,归雁洛阳边。

Passing by the Northern Mountains

My boat goes by green mountains high, And passes through the river blue. The banks seem wide at the full tide; A sail with ease hangs in soft breeze. The sun brings light born of last night; New spring invades old year which fades. How can I send word to my friend? Homing wild geese, fly westward please!

People often say that spring is a s1. of hope and energy(活力).This poem by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wan(693-751) d2. this hope and energy.

Wang lived during the most glorious(辉煌的) period of the Tang Dynasty. This poem is not only about spring and natural beauty, but a3. a metaphor(暗喻) the time he lived in.

The f4.two lines tell us that the poet is t5. on a boat. The mountains are green and the river is blue. In the next two lines, the poet describes the open water and a hanging sail. The characters“阔” and “正”s 5 very broad and grand(宏大的)views, symbolizing the justness(公正)and social development of the dynasty.

Then the poet writes, a new sun is rising, wiping out(抹去)darkness, and the spring is c6. ,driving the winter away. These two lines are f7.of hope. They also show the poet’s aspirations(抱负)as a young w8..

The poem ends with wild geese that are flying b9.home after a long winter. Wang hopes the wild geese can send a message to his friends and family-he is looking f10.to a bright future for himself and for the country.

Last month we asked our students about their free time activities. Our questions were about exercise, use of the Internet and watching TV. Here are the results.

We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day. Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week. Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week. And twenty percent do not exercise at all.

We all know that many students often go online, but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week. Most students use it for fun and not for homework.

The answer to our questions about watching television were also interesting. Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week. Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week. And eighty-five percent watch TV every day! Although many students like to watch sports, game shows are the most popular.

It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows, but we think the best way to relax is through exercise. It is healthy for the mind and the body. Exercise such as playing sports is fun, and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together. And remember, “old habits die hard”. So start exercising before it’s too late!
