Dear sir,

    I ordered a skirt from you last month, but there are some problems with it. First, the color is not as green as it is shown on your website. I understand that the picture does not always show the real color, but it should not be that different. Second, I asked for Size M because it is the size I usually wear. But your Size M is so small that I have to give it to my younger sister.

    I think you should be more serious about your business.

Truly

Susan Rosen

Dear Ms. Rosen,

    Thank you for telling us the problems with your order. We hope we can give you better service. We are sending you another skirt with this letter. It is Size L, and its green color is brighter than the one you had. We hope you like it.

    Our office hours are 9:00 a.m.—5:00 p.m. Please call us if you have any more questions.

Yours truly

Victor Smith

    Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.
    When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars .
    His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some petty books that he had seen at the bookstore.
    He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.
    “I wish you a happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head.
    “You are not from this country? ” said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像)to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time”
    Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man and the other to his wife.
    They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”
    When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.
    “I have bought no books,” said he, “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”
    “My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are some books, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-Year gift”.
    “I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year.”

    “Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.

    National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

    The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.

    ★Start out slowly, don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.

    ★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.

    ★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.

    ★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.

    ★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

    ★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity.

    Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person's life.”

    Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.
    AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced 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 AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) 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 AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.
    AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.
