The following is a father's advice to his son or daughter, who has just graduated from high school:

First of all, congratulations on your graduation!Graduation from high school means that a new stage of life is ahead of you.At the beginning of this new stage, I have some advice for you.

Clean your own room and do your own laundry(洗衣物的活). After you have messed up(弄乱)something, you should learn to clean it up yourself.Cleanliness is indeed close to godliness(信奉上帝).

Don't mistake knowledge for wisdom. No matter how much information or knowledge you have gained, you'll never make sound(正确的)judgments if you don't have wisdom. Wisdom comes from imagination and reflection(反省).If you can imagine the possible future outcomes of your present decisions and actions, you can avoid mistakes.And if you can reflect on the mistakes you have made, you can avoid making the same mistakes again and again.Such is wisdom.

Don't complain.When you take up a job, do your best to carry it out.Don't waste time complaining about it, no matter how difficult and boring it is.

Finally, be an early bird.If you get up earlier than the sun, you can watch it rising up slowly into the sky.And the sight of the rising sun will warm your heart and give you energy for the day ahead.Besides, being an early bird, you have plenty of time to take exercise or do a lot of work.

If you find yourself constantly checking your cell phone, you may have a problem with

overuse of cell phone. 1. Here are four tips on how to create better phone habits.

1. Put your phone away an hour before you go to sleep. Staring at a screen right before

you try to go to sleep is going to make it more difficult to fall asleep. 2. Don’t try to

sleep with it right next to your head because you will spend more time focused on who might

be texting you than sleeping.

2. Carry your phone in your bag or pocket. When you take your phone with you, don’t

carry it in your hand. 3.This is especially important when you drive. Make sure your

phone is hidden away when you drive so you are not tempted to look at it and text.

3. 4. Think of the best times of the day for you to not be on your phone texting

and make it a “no phone time”. Turn your phone completely off and put it away somewhere

where you can’t get to it for a few hours. Forcing yourself to do this daily will help train your

brain to not get anxious when you are not on your phone.

4. Pretend like your cell phone is a home phone. 5. Try pretending like your cell

phone is a landline phone. Place it in one spot in your house and always leave it there and

only use it there, instead of taking it with you everywhere you go.

A. An hour before you go to sleep, text anyone you are talking to that you are going to sleep.

B. Cell phones are an annoying invention.

C. Have set times where you are away from your phone.

D. Turn off your cell phone before you leave your home.

E. Probably one of the major reasons you are addicted to (上瘾)texting is because you can carry your phone with you anywhere.

F. It can lead to reduced quality of personal relationships and lack of productivity in daily life.

G. Put your phone somewhere where you can’t see it.

Artificial intelligence,or AI,has been applied in a wide range of fields to perform specific tasks,including education,finance,heavy industry,transportation,and so on.

Education

There are a number of companies that create robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology to computer science,though such tools have not become widespread yet.Advancements in natural language processing, combined with machine learning,have also enabled automatic grading of assignments.AI has also led to an explosion in popularity of MOOCs,or Massive Open Online Courses,which allows students from around the world to take classes online.

Finance

Use of AI in banking can be tracked back to 1987.Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations,maintain book-keeping,invest in stocks,and manage properties.Also,systems are being developed,like Arria,to translate complex data into simple and personable language.There are also wallets,like Wallet AI,which monitor an individual's spending habits and provides ways to improve them.

Heavy industry

Robots have become common in many industries and are often given jobs that are considered dangerous to humans.Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or accidents due to failure in concentration and other jobs which humans may find degrading.

Transportation

Today's cars can have AI-based driver assist features such as self-parking and advanced cruise controls.AI in transportation is expected to provide safe,efficient,and reliable transportation while minimizing the impact on the environment and communities.

Toys and games

Companies like Mattel have been creating AI-enabled toys for kids as young as age three.Using proprietary AI engines and speech recognition tools,they are able to understand conversations,give intelligent responses and learn quickly.AI has also been applied to video games,for example video game bots,which are designed to stand in as opponents where humans aren't available or desired.

Consider the tomato: easy to grow, healthy to eat, tasty in just about any recipe and pleasant to look at. And come late summer, in steady supply. Though you can find it during the coldest winter months, August is the tomato's season to shine. Farmers' markets and grocery stores are bursting with lesser-known but arguably tastier varieties, including purple cherries and big heirlooms.

"Heirlooms ripened on the vine(藤) are the tastiest of all tomatoes," says Amy Goldman Fowler, author of The Heirloom Tomato. "I think their beauty is more than skin-deep." Heirloom seeds have been around for at least 50 years, often passed down from generation to generation. You may hear cherry or heirloom used to describe a tomato at hand, but there are many different kinds of tomatoes, and growers have fun giving catchy names to varieties: Mortgage Lifters, Beefsteaks, Oxhearts, Early Girls.

And all of them come with health benefits. Tomatoes are a good source of the antioxidant lycopene (抗氧化番茄红素), which is thought to help lower a person's risk for heart problems and cancer. Tomatoes also contain healthy vitamins(维生素) A and C. For the best fruit (they're fruits, not vegetables), choose tomatoes with shiny, firm skin and a little give, and store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Keep them out of the fridge, since cold temperatures can affect the original taste.

"They satisfy something more than just taste," says Fowler. "Tomatoes feed your soul."

1.In which season do tomatoes sell best?

A. Spring. B. Summer.

C. Autumn. D. Winter.

2.What can you learn from the passage?

A. Tomatoes are healthy vegetables.

B. Direct sunlight helps to store tomatoes.

C. Tomatoes go bad more quickly in the fridge.

D. Heirlooms are tastier than the other tomatoes.

3.Why do tomatoes benefit people?

A. They can produce antioxidant lycopene.

B. They may prevent some diseases.

C. They can be used as medicine.

D. They may make people's skin shiny.
