January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can work out math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT 4.0, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of Open AI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money.
DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies.
DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, more than 19, 000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous U.S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.”
U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools.
As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use. With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money.”
Chinese AI Model DeepSeek-R1 1 the World

Spring is the season to harvest West Lake Longjing tea, which is now picked by not only human workers but also “metal workers”—tea-picking robots!
At the end of March, Hangzhou welcomed its best period of large-scale (大规模) harvesting of West Lake Longjing tea. In one tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot invented by Zhejiang Sci-tech University first appeared in public after five years of research and development.
With a pull and a suck (吸), the robotic arm separates the leaves from the trees and then puts them into a storage box quickly. “The robot learned its skills through a specially designed model that offers it a large amount of information of tea leaves,” said Chen Jianneng, one of the researchers. This allows the robot to recognize tea leaves by itself with a success rate (成功率) of over 90 percent, Chen added.
Yet, the robot’s picking system needs improving before it can be more widely used. According to Professor Wu Chuanyu, leader of the research team, the robot can only take on the work of 1.5 workers at present. It will need to do the work of 5 workers if it is used for a large-scale harvesting. In addition, the robot can now only be used on flat ground, not on rough (崎岖不平的) surfaces such as mountains. It may take five more years to realize these goals, Wu told China News.
Tea planting and processing are also changed to become “smarter”. For example, there are special lamps that can attract pests (害虫) but will not hurt other “friendly” insects. This machine works for 24 hours, using color board and lights to draw pests in day and night and then kill them with an electric grid (电网).
In terms of tea roasting (炒制), although machine-roasted tea is used widely, many tea lovers argue that this method will make the tea not have the same taste with the tea made by hand-roasting. Researchers at Zhejiang University are trying to find out the tiny differences between the two methods to improve machine performance. They’re researching AI technologies to help them gain necessary information and make adjustments (调整) to roasting methods and temperatures in time.
When tea meets new technology
Thanks to the researchers’ hard work for 11 , a small tea-picking robot made its first 12 in public to help human workers harvest West Lake Longjing tea.

Be a child, watch cartoons
One of the most common advice for language learners is to watch films and shows in the language they are learning. But to the beginners, it’s difficult to understand without the help of subtitles (字幕). They can watch children’s cartoons instead. These cartoons are often made up of basic expressions and words. Moreover, cartoons usually come with clearer and slower pronunciation, which will help learners understand without subtitles.
Let the words flow
One has the risk of making mistakes when trying to practise in public or with local people, so start small instead. Speak to your pet or an object around the house. Tell them about your day or describe how you feel.
The goal is to get used to sounding the letters and getting the words out. As you grow more confident, come up to the waiter at a real French restaurant (or whatever language you may be working on) or a local person.
A foreign stamp
A good method to test your writing skills is to keep a penfriend. Ideally, find someone who is fluent (流利的) in the language you are learning. And he is also learning your language. Through the exchange of letters, you get to practise your writing skills. What’s more, everyone gets a friend.

You might have a friend or a classmate who remembers every single detail. How can they make it A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed. However, actually there are plenty of things that you can do to improve your memory.
Take an interest
We all have the same opinion that we can easily remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. It’s not hard to explain why schoolboys remember football results without difficulty, but make a great effort to remember dates from history lessons! One way to “make” yourself more interested is to ask questions —the more, the better!
Organize things in groups
Researchers have found that information organized in groups can be easy to remember. You can use this by organizing the materials you are studying. Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook reading to help group the information. Then when you learn more about that subject, you understand that better. Be sure things are clear in your mind. If not, ask questions until you understand!
What’s more, when you’re learning new materials, take the time to think about the relationship between the present information and what you’ve already known. Then it helps you remember information.
Take physical exercise
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress which is very bad for the memory.
So the next time you're learning new information, you can use the methods above. I’m sure that you will improve your memory and get more out of it.
41 to Improve Your Memory
42 Some people were 43 with a good memory, and a bad memory is 44 to be changed, but we can do a lot of things to improve our memory.
Main body Taking an interest We all 45 that it’s easy to remember the things you are interested in.
46 things in groups Organize information in groups to remember knowledge 47 . 48 the relationship between new materials and your knowledge.

Nowadays, OpenAI company’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent (智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water!
Why does a computer program need so much water In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI super-computing centers lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centers can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.
Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources!

UNESCO is building the world’s first virtual museum of stolen cultural artifacts (文物). Their aim is to raise public awareness of culture heritage (遗产) protection.
“Behind every stolen work lies a piece of history,” said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. “We want to place these works back in the spotlight so that more people can notice them.”
The virtual museum works as an educational tool. It will offer visitors 3D images of stolen artifacts. There will also be detailed information about their history.
The project will be designed by Francis Kere. The architect won the famous Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2022. For the museum, he has designed a virtual globe with a spiral (螺旋的) central structure.
When it is opened in 2025, the museum will present 600 pieces of artifacts. One of the most important items is a 3rd-century alabaster stone inscription. It was taken from Awwam temple in Yemen. Visitors will also be able to see an ivory relief from the 7th century BC. The work of a lion attacking a man was stolen from, the Baghdad Museum. A green stone mask looted from the Maya site of Rio Azul will also be on display.
“These are objects that once existed, but we don’t know where they are,” said Ernesto Ottone. He is UNESCO’s assistant director’ general for culture. “We will exhibit them in a space where we can really tell the story and the context behind them.”
“No one has imagined a museum like this,” Azoulay said. “The presentation of each artwork is a deep dive (深入研究) into its universe, its culture, and the society that produced it,” she added.
A Virtual Visit to Stolen Art

The drum was mentioned in Chinese history in the Pottery Age. The Zhou dynasty set up the drum music institution that was responsible (负责的) for the management of officers known as “drum men” and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in ancient Chinese practices such as sacrifice (祭祀), military (军事), labor (劳动) and other activities.
In ancient China, agriculture was the main form of production and drums were considered indispensable (不可或缺的) for a good harvest. Since the sound of drums echoes that of thunder, it was believed that playing drums could attract rain. So the instrument was used to pray for good weather and to “communicate” with them.
Drums also played a part in the war. Because of a strong resonance effect (共振作用), the drum’s sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies. So the drum was used as a military booster for a long time.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, the society was developing fast and drums were widely used. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing, lion dance, festival gathering and labor competition were all together with the beats of drums. The sound of drums became synonymous (同义的) with celebrations, filling hearts with joy.
Different types of Chinese drums exist today. For example, “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for peace and prosperity while “Ansai Waist Drum” is meant to show the spirit of the Loess Plateau (黄土高原) and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China. Kaifeng has “Pan Drum”, and Luochuan of Shaanxi Province is known for its “Bie Drum”.There are also some cheerful and time-honored drum dances such as “Fengyang Flower Drum” in Anhui Province and “Fishing Basket Flower Drum” in Jiangsu Province.
In a word, drum culture reflects (反映) the stability (安定) and prosperity (繁荣) of Chinese society. For thousands of years, Chinese people have always been expecting peace and satisfaction.

Seeing them in the wild, you might be surprised at first because they look like giant guinea pigs, which are in fact one of their closest relatives. Capybaras’ bodies are covered in reddish-brown fur. When swimming around, thanks to their small eyes, noses and hairless cars which are high on their heads, they’re able to see the above-water things around them.

January 20, 2025, a Chinese tech company named DeepSeek made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can work out math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as Open AI’s GPT 4.0, but it costs much less to build. The team spent only $5.58 million (1/70 of Open AI’s cost) and used 2,048 computer chips for two months. This shows that good ideas can beat big money.
DeepSeek-R1 learns by trying many times and getting better, like how students practice maths. Other AIs need lots of prepared examples, but R1 improves by itself. For example, in a global math test, it got 79.8% right, slightly higher than Open AI’s model. A simple version of R1 can even run on low-cost computers, helping schools and small companies.
DeepSeek-R1 is free to use and change. On its first day online, more than 19, 000 programmers worldwide started projects to study it. A German scientist said experiments with R1 cost $10 instead of $300 with other AIs. Even Meta (a famous U.S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.”
U.S. tech companies are worried. Meta plans to spend $65 billion more on AI research. Experts say China is catching up fast. A report in Nature magazine called R1 a “big step forward”, proving that smart ideas beat expensive tools.
As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use. With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money.”
Chinese AI Model DeepSeek-R1 1 the World

Spring is the season to harvest West Lake Longjing tea, which is now picked by not only human workers but also “metal workers”—tea-picking robots!
At the end of March, Hangzhou welcomed its best period of large-scale (大规模) harvesting of West Lake Longjing tea. In one tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot invented by Zhejiang Sci-tech University first appeared in public after five years of research and development.
With a pull and a suck (吸), the robotic arm separates the leaves from the trees and then puts them into a storage box quickly. “The robot learned its skills through a specially designed model that offers it a large amount of information of tea leaves,” said Chen Jianneng, one of the researchers. This allows the robot to recognize tea leaves by itself with a success rate (成功率) of over 90 percent, Chen added.
Yet, the robot’s picking system needs improving before it can be more widely used. According to Professor Wu Chuanyu, leader of the research team, the robot can only take on the work of 1.5 workers at present. It will need to do the work of 5 workers if it is used for a large-scale harvesting. In addition, the robot can now only be used on flat ground, not on rough (崎岖不平的) surfaces such as mountains. It may take five more years to realize these goals, Wu told China News.
Tea planting and processing are also changed to become “smarter”. For example, there are special lamps that can attract pests (害虫) but will not hurt other “friendly” insects. This machine works for 24 hours, using color board and lights to draw pests in day and night and then kill them with an electric grid (电网).
In terms of tea roasting (炒制), although machine-roasted tea is used widely, many tea lovers argue that this method will make the tea not have the same taste with the tea made by hand-roasting. Researchers at Zhejiang University are trying to find out the tiny differences between the two methods to improve machine performance. They’re researching AI technologies to help them gain necessary information and make adjustments (调整) to roasting methods and temperatures in time.
When tea meets new technology
Thanks to the researchers’ hard work for 11 , a small tea-picking robot made its first 12 in public to help human workers harvest West Lake Longjing tea.

What forms of transportation would you prefer when you travel, planes, train or cars All of the above will be improved with 5G technology.
Gacha, the word’s first all-weather robot bus in Finland, is a good example. Telecoms company Nokia has set 5G transmitters (信号发射器) in 15 lampposts(路灯柱) along 1-km route. These transmitters are then used to control buses, making them driverless and work perfectly even under difficult conditions—in the dark as well as rain, snow or mud.
There are also 5G roads. These roads have 5G transmitters and cameras. They can provide many services. For example, the roads can tell electric car drivers where the nearest charging station (充电站) is.
In Seoul, a smart management system is being used in one of the city’s underground stations. This system has many smart features, including a 3D map, sensors (传感器) and modern camera system that make station more efficient and safer.
Even airplanes will become smart in the near future. Airbus, one of the world’s biggest airplane makers, is working on new airplanes that will have many sensors and 5G transmitters.

You might have a friend or a classmate who remembers every single detail. How can they make it A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed. However, actually there are plenty of things that you can do to improve your memory.
Take an interest
We all have the same opinion that we can easily remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. It’s not hard to explain why schoolboys remember football results without difficulty, but make a great effort to remember dates from history lessons! One way to “make” yourself more interested is to ask questions —the more, the better!
Organize things in groups
Researchers have found that information organized in groups can be easy to remember. You can use this by organizing the materials you are studying. Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook reading to help group the information. Then when you learn more about that subject, you understand that better. Be sure things are clear in your mind. If not, ask questions until you understand!
What’s more, when you’re learning new materials, take the time to think about the relationship between the present information and what you’ve already known. Then it helps you remember information.
Take physical exercise
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise also reduces stress which is very bad for the memory.
So the next time you're learning new information, you can use the methods above. I’m sure that you will improve your memory and get more out of it.

Nowadays, OpenAI company’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent (智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water!
Why does a computer program need so much water In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI super-computing centers lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centers can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.
Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources!
How “thirsty” are AI systems
Around the world, intelligent products are 51 heatedly. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may 52 many people.
The 53 for using much water When an AI system learns to 54 like a man, it needs electricity and produces heat. As a result water is used to keep computers cool.
A recent report by Microsoft From 2021 to 2022, the amount of the water used in cooling machines kept 55 . The training of the AI system is the cause of it.
The analysis (分析) The amount of used water is ◇ connected with 56 AI super-computing centers are built. ◇affected by the high 57 of these places. ◇not 58 all year around and changes with seasons.
Advice ◆ Consider it as a 59 . ◆ Save Earth’s water resources by having more 60 with humans.

A Virtual Visit to Stolen Art
Virtual (虚拟的) museums are nothing new these days.
Technology has allowed people to take trips to some of the world’s greatest museums on their couch. Now how about a virtual visit to stolen art
UNESCO is building the world’s first virtual museum of stolen cultural artifacts (文物). Their aim is to raise public awareness of culture heritage (遗产) protection.
“Behind every stolen work lies a piece of history,” said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. “We want to place these works back in the spotlight so that more people can notice them.”
The virtual museum works as an educational tool. It will offer visitors 3D images of stolen artifacts. There will also be detailed information about their history.
The project will be designed by Francis Kere. The architect won the famous Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2022. For the museum, he has designed a virtual globe with a spiral (螺旋的) central structure.
When it is opened in 2025, the museum will present 600 pieces of artifacts. One of the most important items is a 3rd-century alabaster stone inscription. It was taken from Awwam temple in Yemen. Visitors will also be able to see an ivory relief from the 7th century BC. The work of a lion attacking a man was stolen from, the Baghdad Museum. A green stone mask looted from the Maya site of Rio Azul will also be on display.
“These are objects that once existed, but we don’t know where they are,” said Ernesto Ottone. He is UNESCO’s assistant director’ general for culture. “We will exhibit them in a space where we can really tell the story and the context behind them.”
“No one has imagined a museum like this,” Azoulay said. “The presentation of each artwork is a deep dive (深入研究) into its universe, its culture, and the society that produced it,” she added.

The drum has existed in Chinese civilization for thousands of years and has a deep spiritual meaning which is more than a kind of musical instrument. Confucius regarded the “Drum Dance” highly. It is also the origin of the Chinese phrase “guwu” which means “embolden” (大胆) in English.
The drum was mentioned in Chinese history in the Pottery Age. The Zhou dynasty set up the drum music institution that was responsible (负责的) for the management of officers known as “drum men” and developed a complete drum music system. From then on, drums came to be used in ancient Chinese practices such as sacrifice (祭祀), military (军事), labor (劳动) and other activities.
In ancient China, agriculture was the main form of production and drums were considered indispensable (不可或缺的) for a good harvest. Since the sound of drums echoes that of thunder, it was believed that playing drums could attract rain. So the instrument was used to pray for good weather and to “communicate” with them.
Drums also played a part in the war. Because of a strong resonance effect (共振作用), the drum’s sound could go very far while increasing fear in the heart of the enemies. So the drum was used as a military booster for a long time.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, the society was developing fast and drums were widely used. The national band, drama, folk art, song and dance, boat racing, lion dance, festival gathering and labor competition were all together with the beats of drums. The sound of drums became synonymous (同义的) with celebrations, filling hearts with joy.
Different types of Chinese drums exist today. For example, “Taiping Drum” is used to express hope for peace and prosperity while “Ansai Waist Drum” is meant to show the spirit of the Loess Plateau (黄土高原) and the heroic character of farmers in Northwest China. Kaifeng has “Pan Drum”, and Luochuan of Shaanxi Province is known for its “Bie Drum”.There are also some cheerful and time-honored drum dances such as “Fengyang Flower Drum” in Anhui Province and “Fishing Basket Flower Drum” in Jiangsu Province.
In a word, drum culture reflects (反映) the stability (安定) and prosperity (繁荣) of Chinese society. For thousands of years, Chinese people have always been expecting peace and satisfaction.
