When he left the hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA. But when he was there, he did things in a different way. For example, he didn't like the doctors' white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn't like Adams because he was too different.

But Adams believed that people in hospital need more than medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital and often dressed up like a clown to make the children laugh. When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called "The Gesundheit Institute", together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.

Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film Patch Adams, Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, "Adams is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who is a friend. I enjoyed playing him."

After some days, he decided to see a doctor. "I just can't go to sleep at night. What should I do? Could you please help me?" "I have a suggestion," said the doctor. "Try counting numbers. By the time you reach one thousand, you'll be asleep. I'm sure of it."

The next day the man returned to the doctor's office. "Well," said the doctor, "How are you today? Did you try my suggestion?"

The man still looked tired. "Yes," he said, "I tried counting one, two, three-up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty-nine. I began to feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some tea so that I could go on counting up to one thousand. But then I still couldn't fall asleep."

Many people think that we'll all have microchips one day. There are all kinds of things that a microchip could do. It could be useful for simple things. You might not need paper money, because you could use your microchip to buy things. A microchip might be able to do more important things. If you fell ill suddenly and went to the hospital, doctors could read your microchip and learn all of your health history.

Many people dislike the idea of a microchip in their body. They have a lot of worries. Is it safe? Could a microchip make you sick? People are also worried about personal freedom (自由). This is probably the biggest reason why so many people don't agree (同意) with the idea of the microchips. Nobody has microchips in their body yet.

Recently, an AI tool for students to study appeared. It connects modern technology with education perfectly. To our surprise, the person who invented this tool is a 13-year-old student, Qiu Yumo from Guangdong.

Qiu has learned programming (编程) since she was 6. In 2023, she started a program with AI to make tools. It's a useful online AI learning tool for students, called AI Button. "At first, I just wanted a tool to help with my studies. Then it drew attention from more people," Qiu said about her idea. "My classmates and I want to have a learning friend to help us remember the key information. When we don't know something, we can also ask for help at any time."

Students only need to put what they have studied into AI Button. Then AI will quickly find key points, ask questions, and answer students' questions as well. "This AI is like a teacher because it meets students' needs," Qiu said.

Many students loved Qiu's AI Button. They wanted to join her to make it better. "Now I have a small team of students from different schools. From my own experience, I hope it can make more students be interested in innovative technology (科技创新)." Her dream will surely come true in the near future.
