The rapid development of new industries has given rise to a range of new occupations, which will brighten up our country’s employment prospects.
Li Qing, a 29-year-old resident in Fengjie, Chongqing, is an online marketer.Betting on the huge development potential of the agriculture, Li gave up her job as a white-collar worker in Beijing and moved back to her hometown to be an online marketer.She opened a store on an online sales platform, selling mushrooms, potatoes and rice.
Today, many farms in the country’s hinterland (内地) are developing fast, but they need more accessible channels to sell their products.“Over the past three years, our total sales volume has grown to more than 100 million yuan, leading to income growth for more than 1,000 rural families,” Li said.“It’s a business opportunity for me and also a good chance to help farmers earn more money.”
Jin Yi, in his 20s, is a new member of AI trainers.Just like a child learning to walk, AI needs trainers to constantly remind it of the right methods and human beings’ mindset.Through numerous data accumulation and practice, AI is able to recognize human beings’ languages.
In recent years, AI trainers have sprouted up across China as a result of the rapid development of new economic models (模式).“It’s estimated that there is a shortage of about 5 million skilled workers in the AI industry.Shanghai needs about 400,000 AI workers alone, but there are only around 40,000 students majoring in AI at colleges,” said Qiu Xin, Party Secretary of Fudan University.
“I believe our industry will see greater development in the future, along with the advancement of AI.I hope more graduates will join the industry and contribute to the development of AI,” Jin said.
In addition to creating more jobs, new technologies will help transform traditional industries, which will help create more new and higher-paying jobs in the coming years, said Li Chang’an, a professor at the Academy of China Open Economy Studies of the University of International Business and Economics.

After staying at home and taking care of her baby for nearly two years, Rebecca found it hard to make a decision between accepting an attractive offer from her former employer and going on looking after her son Tony at home.She talked, with her husband David, about sending Tony to a childcare center.David gave it a careful thought and decided to leave his job for a year to take care of Tony before he could be sent to a kindergarten, promising to be a super Dad and house husband.It was good news for Rebecca but she knew her husband too well.It would take David some time to get used to finicky (细致的) jobs of taking care of Tony.So she told David she wanted hourly updates on how Tony was handling his day away from Mom.
David was adapting quickly.He texted updates throughout the day, getting hourly instructions from Rebecca.It seemed that David was enjoying his new role and Tony liked the company of Dad, although they often got the home messy.What Rebecca didn’t expect is that David became famous on social media as Super Dad, because people liked watching the videos he posted.
One day, he sent his usual text updates and included a photo of Tony in his car seat during their trip to Walgreens.Rebecca’s reply was to correct Tony’s position in the car seat.And she reminded David that the straps (肩带) were too loose and the chest clip was too low.David laughed at his nagging (絮叨的) wife and rolled his eyes before tightening the car seat and fixing the chest clip.Fifteen minutes later, Rebecca’s phone rang with a call from her husband, “Honey, we had a car accident.We are fine, but the car is going to be totaled (彻底毁坏).”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Less than three miles from their house, David told Rebecca, a woman had pulled into traffic to turn left.
Rebecca was so thankful that her husband took the extra one minute to put Tony in his car seat safely.

Where Does SUPERMAN Get Changed These Days? I was watching a superhero film the other day and a thought occurred to me:where does Superman get changed these days? In the comics and earlier films, Clark Kent would pop into a phone box to change into his Superman costume.But these days, phone boxes are hard to find.The main reason for this is simply that we don’t need them anymore.Almost everyone these days carries a mobile phone with them.It is certainly more convenient to take out a mobile and make a call at the touch of a button than to press a series of long numbers on a telephone.And anyone who happens to leave their mobile phone at home will still have no use for a phone box.Why? Because they are unlikely to remember the number they want to call — that’s something that our mobile phones do for us these days.And even if we could remember a number and needed to call it urgently, it would still be more convenient to borrow a mobile phone from someone else than walk around looking for a phone box.So, the phone box is becoming a thing of the past.Poor Clark Kent will have to find somewhere else to change!

The rapid development of new industries has given rise to a range of
new occupations, which will brighten up our country’s employment
prospects.
Li Qing, a 29-year-old resident in Fengjie, Chongqing, is an
online marketer.Betting on the huge development potential of the
agriculture, Li gave up her job as a white-collar worker in Beijing and
moved back to her hometown to be an online marketer.She opened a store
on an online sales platform, selling mushrooms, potatoes and rice.
Today, many farms in the country’s hinterland (内地) are
developing fast, but they need more accessible channels to sell their
products.“Over the past three years, our total sales volume has grown
to more than 100 million yuan, leading to income growth for more than
1,000 rural families,” Li said.“It’s a business opportunity for me
and also a good chance to help farmers earn more money.”
Jin Yi, in his 20s, is a new member of AI trainers.Just like a child
learning to walk, AI needs trainers to constantly remind it of the right
methods and human beings’ mindset.Through numerous data accumulation and practice, AI is able to recognize human beings’ languages.
In recent years, AI trainers have sprouted up across China as a result
of the rapid development of new economic models (模式).“It’s
estimated that there is a shortage of about 5 million skilled workers in the
AI industry.Shanghai needs about 400,000 AI workers alone, but there
are only around 40,000 students majoring in AI at colleges,” said Qiu
Xin, Party Secretary of Fudan University.
“I believe our industry will see greater development in the future,
along with the advancement of AI. I hope more graduates will join the
industry and contribute to the development of AI,” Jin said.
In addition to creating more jobs, new technologies will help
transform traditional industries, which will help create more new and
higher-paying jobs in the coming years, said Li Chang’an, a professor
at the Academy of China Open Economy Studies of the University of
International Business and Economics.

I believe joining ASB was one of the best decisions of my eighth-
grade year, and being a part of the journalism committee was a
wonderful experience.After the first meeting, I had a strong 5 that
ASB was going to be a thrill.
The committee was a selected 6 of three students, two of whom were new, including me.So I had to take a 7 course in
journalism.Though it sounds challenging, it is easy as long as you use
your time 8 .
My first 9 was on ASB’s first event, Spirit Week.I quickly
learned that these stories take quite some time and 10 extra time
outside of school to be well written.Though I played on a travel hockey
(曲棍球) team and had several practices and 11 throughout the
week and weekend, some advice I should have taken more seriously
was 12 first, fun and games later.I had trouble 13 a consistent
schedule throughout the school year, making it 14 to create
articles, finish homework, and travel to practices and games.I know
now that school should and always be the number one priority (优先事
项).
My three years at McAuliffe are 15 an end, and though it was
quite an experience with online school, masks and 16 schedules, it
was an exciting and wild ride, 17 me well for the future.
I 18 high school will be quite the experience, with sports,
classes and clubs.It will be exciting because there are so many new things
to 19 , as well as meeting new friends.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
After staying at home and taking care of her baby for nearly two
years, Rebecca found it hard to make a decision between accepting an
attractive offer from her former employer and going on looking after her
son Tony at home.She talked, with her husband David, about sending
Tony to a childcare center.David gave it a careful thought and decided to
leave his job for a year to take care of Tony before he could be sent to a kindergarten,promising to be a super Dad and house husband.It was
good news for Rebecca but she knew her husband too well.It would take David some time to get used to finicky (细致的) jobs of taking care of Tony.So she told David she wanted hourly updates on how Tony was handling his day away from Mom.
David was adapting quickly.He texted updates throughout the day,
getting hourly instructions from Rebecca.It seemed that David was
enjoying his new role and Tony liked the company of Dad, although they often got the home messy.What Rebecca didn’t expect is that David became famous on social media as Super Dad, because people liked watching the videos he posted.
One day, he sent his usual text updates and included a photo of Tony
in his car seat during their trip to Walgreens.Rebecca’s reply was to
correct Tony’s position in the car seat.And she reminded David that the
straps (肩带) were too loose and the chest clip was too low.David
laughed at his nagging (絮叨的) wife and rolled his eyes before
tightening the car seat and fixing the chest clip.Fifteen minutes later,
Rebecca’s phone rang with a call from her husband, “Honey, we had
a car accident.We are fine, but the car is going to be totaled (彻底毁
坏).”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
Less than three miles from their house, David told Rebecca, a
woman had pulled into traffic to turn left.
Rebecca was so thankful that her husband took the extra one
minute to put Tony in his car seat safely.
参考范文:
Less than three miles from their house, David told Rebecca, a
woman had pulled into traffic to turn left.David hadn’t had enough time
to stop.He tried to stop the car at nearly 50 miles an hour before knocking
into the front passenger side door of her SUV. The proper use of the car
seat saved baby Tony’s life.Even with the impact of the two cars, Tony
was safe and sound.He was even able to continue with his sleep and then
spend the next two hours playing with nurses in a nearby hospital.David
wasn’t so lucky.He had his foot broken in three places and got three
dislocated toes.
Rebecca was so thankful that her husband took the extra one minute
to put Tony in his car seat safely.She couldn’t imagine how different the
outcome could have been.David had never expected there could be any
good having a nagging wife.He posted pictures of his car on social media
to educate people about the importance of proper use of car seats.He
hoped his car would be a reminder of the safety of babies in cars to other
parents.David, the Super Dad, got more likes from his fans.
