题目内容

A few years ago, I worked at a church(教堂). Since my son was home schooling, he went with me to the church every day. Most mornings, we’d stop at a local store, and get a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me.

The clerk(店员) at the store made our lives more enjoyable each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’m not even sure if she realized that her warmth and brightness put a smile upon the face of each customer(顾客).

When a customer brought cakes to the counter, any other clerk could have asked: “Would you like some milk with those cakes?” Instead, she asked: “Would you like a lottery ticket(彩票) with those cakes?”

She might have asked me if I wanted sugar with my coffee. But instead, she asked: “Would you like some batteries(电池) with that coffee?”

Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk’s method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh.

Sometimes, if my day at the church had been very tiring, we’d stop at that store before going home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the clerk’s words echoing (回响) behind us.

“Would you like some shampoo (洗发香波) with that orange juice?”

Build a smart future

The Internet is shaping our lives. We already have online shopping services and mobile payment. However, this is just a start. The world’s leading tech companies are planning to build smarter online communities. They discussed this at the World Internet Conference, which was held in Wuzhen.

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) was a hot topic at the conference (会议). If a machine can learn and solve problems as humans do, it can be called AI.

The company Alibaba uses AI technology in its unmanned supermarket in Wuzhen. There is no salesperson in the supermarkets, just a tablet (平板电脑) on a desk that says “ please smile”. If you smile, it gives you a special discount off your foods. The bigger you smile, the more discounts for your goods. Payment is done stigmatically through your Alipay account. When you first enter the supermarket, the supermarket’s AI recognizes your face and your account.

There is also AI that can read lips. Sougou brought its lip-reading system to

the conference. It recognizes your mouth’s movements and turns them into voice or text massagers. This could be very useful when you are trying to talk to someone on your phone in a noisy place. Police could also use the technology to help them find criminal suspects (犯罪嫌疑人) by lip-reading recordings from video camera.

Another type of AI focus on understanding human emotions. Microsoft chatbox

XiaoIce can not only provide useful information but also chat with people like a real friend. XiaoIce has Wehat account. After following the account, users can start talking with her. She knows when to comfort you or tell jokes. she keeps improving herself by talking with users.

These technologies are being put into wilder use. We may see a smarter world and better life in the near future.
