When thinking of Britain, many images come to mind. Big Ben, the Ferris wheel, red telephone boxes...and black London taxis. The taxi has an important role in London.
But what is so special about a simple taxi? First of all, the shape and style are very different from those of ordinary taxis. It looks like a half-car and half-van (半厢式货车). It has plenty of room in the back, which means it's easy for disabled people to use. And the black color makes it stand out on the road.
Besides the style of the car, taxi drivers have an important part in your travel. They have to pass a taxi driving test, and in London it is very difficult. As there are many tourists in London, drivers must know many roads by memory!
Apart from driving you to your destination, it is normal {or the driver and passenger to have a conversation. Getting a taxi involves a social space which the driver and you share. The image of a London taxi driver is one that is friendly and talkative. Most times when I get a taxi, I ask how the driver is. Then we usually talk about sports or news events.
In China, I've noticed that taxi drivers are usually quieter. Sometimes I try to speak with them in Chinese. And when I do, they usually seem friendly and open to talk. It's also a good situation to practice my Chinese!

AIS recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. Can you imagine that you can play basketball with robots one day when you feel lonely on the playground? For another example, AT will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. Robots can do most jobs faster and better than humans. They seldom make mistakes. But this attention has also caused a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs

According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of Al. In some areas, Al is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling(AC)cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.

On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed

to write programmers for Al systems and they will set up and work on them, too. At the same time, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced by Al. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.

Science and technology are developing quickly these days and it's hard to imagine what will happen in the future. But Al is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear. We do believe AI can make people's lives easier and more interesting.

Mice eat flowers and seeds that forest plants produce(生产). The mice get their energy from the plants, and the mice become food for a larger animal, such as the hunting hawk. So the energy from the sun passes from the plants to the mice to the hawk. A break（中断）in any part of this food chain means some animals may not have enough food to eat.
