When I got into it, I saw Wang Lei, the boss of the minshuku. He rented (出租) his house at a very low price. He just hoped people could enjoy their holiday with less money and would like to visit Chengdu again. He helped me a lot when I stayed there. He also kept telling me the history of Chengdu. I was very interested in it.

Many Canadian kids woke to the smell of wildfire smoke last summer. Some are wondering: Is it dangerous How can I protect myself
Is wildfire smoke dangerous
For most people, the effect of wildfire smoke is only short lived. Effects can include irritation (刺激) to the eyes, the nose and the throat, coughing and shortness of breath. They will get worse if you spend more time outdoors, especially if you're active outside—doing sports and other exercise.
The key to staying safe Stay inside.
Both Kovesi and Hughes agree that the best thing for kids to do is stay inside when wildfire smoke is in the air. “It's especially important for kids who are super active to stop outdoor activities. This is not the time to go jogging, play soccer or do other sports，” Hughes said. “Those activities require you to breathe harder and deeper, which may put you in danger.”
Other steps you can take
It's best to close your windows and doors when you are inside. You can also use an air conditioner. Kovesi said that masks can also help lower the risk a little, particularly N95 masks. But they need to be worn correctly.

Are you troubled by housework, such as cleaning tables or tidying your room A new robot is here to help! Recently, the robot Mobile ALOHA made by scientists at Stanford University in the US became popular online. In a video posted, we can see the robot preparing dishes on its own. It's also good at watering plants, petting cats and washing clothes. It even knows how to shake the pillow (枕头). Sounds good Well, another video posted by researchers may disappoint some people. Mobile ALOHA isn't good at doing housework on its own. Instead, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation changes, it can't work well without a human “teaching” it. So it may break dishes, or even burn a pot.
“The robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time，” said the team after they did more research on it. For cooking dishes, it's only 40 percent. In short, it's far from perfect. In fact, AI robots are good at tasks such as math and playing chess, but they face challenges when it comes to simpler actions like cleaning. And it's the same with Mobile ALOHA. For example, if its body doesn't move correctly, even just with a small deviation (偏差), its arm may move too far to pick up a glass.
“Robots are not ready to take over the world，” the team posted on Twitter.
70. What does Mobile ALOHA do in the first video
A．It prepares dishes.
B．It burns a pot.
C．It breaks dishes.
D．It cleans tables.
71. What do the team want to show us about Mobile ALOHA
A．Its ability has improved a lot.
B．Its main task is to pick up a glass.
C．Its actions become much simpler.
D．Its weakness may disappoint people.
72. What is the best title (标题) for the text
A．Endless Housework
B．Disappointing Research
C．A New Kind of Robot
D．A Small Deviation

The next morning, the little boy found that the barrels were blown here and there again. He felt very unhappy and cried. His father came and said kindly, “Son, don't be sad.

He filled the empty barrels with water. After that, he went home worriedly.
The third morning, the little boy was excited to find the barrels were placed in good order. The little boy smiled happily and told his father, “It's a very simple way, that is, to make the barrels heavier.” The little boy's father smiled.

十、One possible version：
Everyone is special. So am I. I am Li Hui, and I would like to share my unique story.
My strength lies in my perseverance. I remember I used to struggle with math. Although it was hard for me to overcome the challenges, I never gave up. I turned to my teachers and classmates, and then I practiced every day. As time went by, I made great progress. My grades improved, and I began to enjoy math.
This experience taught me that hard work pays off. It's not about how fast you can get there, but about not stopping until you do.
