—No.Only ________ hard working.

My great-grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother are teachers, and so are all my family. My mother had a fixed idea that I would become a teacher, too. Although I respected her and was indeed skilled at teaching something to my little cousins, I didn't agree that I should naturally follow in my mother's footsteps.

When I was a teenager, my mother happened to take me to a hospital which was run by one of her friends. It was the first time I had seen a busy medical environment in real life in person. Finding that I was curious about treating patients, my mother's friend Dr. Lee offered me an opportunity to shadow him (跟他实地参观) for a day. I eagerly accepted his offer! Observing the doctors and nurses in action, I felt a mix of anxiety and excitement. Seeing the healing (治愈) process and the impact of medical care on patients was a profoundly moving experience. I figured being a doctor would be the most rewarding career in the world. From that day, a thought formed in my mind that I wanted to become a doctor, but I doubted whether my mother would support me. After all, it was a completely different path from what she had planned for me. Therefore, I kept the thought to myself, because I knew she would still insist on holding onto her previous idea.

Anyway, besides discussing with my mother about teaching, I would often visit Dr. Lee's hospital. Gradually, I got familiar with the medical equipment and procedures, and I learned a lot about healthcare, such as how to take vital signs (测生命体征), how to assist in minor surgeries, and so on. But what I had learned in the hospital just left me wanting more, so I decided to go to college to become a professional doctor.

Know your own culture

One of the best ways to understand other people's cultures is to first consider your own. Most of us don't realize that our customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else. Don't think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else's to be strange.

Learn about a different culture

Maybe you've recently met someone from a different culture, or you're curious about how different people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.

Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation:. Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.

A. Respect other cultures.

B. Appreciate the differences.

C. Ask questions if your friends are open to it.

D. In this way, you may find it hard to know your own culture.

E. Otherwise, it's hard to approach those differences with respect.

F. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself.

G. These will help you get an insider's view on a different culture.

As children's free time and imaginations become more and more tightly joined to the social media, we need to understand that uncontrolled access to the Internet comes at a cost. This spring, I visited with a group of high school students in Connecticut to have a conversation about the role that social media plays in their daily lives and in their mental health. More children today report feeling depressed, lonely, and disconnected than ever before.

There are countless problems with children and teenagers using social media. But the high schoolers with whom I met alerted me to a hidden result of teenagers' growing addiction to social media: the death of exploration and discovery. Algorithmic recommendations now do the work of discovering and pursuing interests, finding community, and learning about the world. Kids today are, simply put, not learning how to be curious, critical adults—and they don't seem to know what they've lost.

We all know the journeys in life matter just as much as the destinations. It is the sweat to get the outcome that makes the outcome more fulfilling and satisfying.

What the kids I spoke to did not know is that these algorithms have been designed in a way that unavoidably makes and keeps users unhappy. Social media companies know that content that generates negative feelings holds our attention longer than that which makes us feel good. If you are a teenager feeling bad about yourself, your social media feed will keep delivering you videos and pictures that are likely to produce negative feelings.

We should take some measures. Teenagers and kids are to be inspired to determine if we will really be happier as a species when machines and algorithms do all the work for us, or if fulfillment only comes when humans actually do the work, searching and discovering, of being human.

To share the joy of its success at the chicken farm in Chishui, Guizhou province, the Tencent Cloud Artificial Intelligence Class(TCAIC) — a program set up by the university and tech giant Tencent — offered the free soup to all teachers and students at the university's cafeteria. As Spring Festival is on the way, the students in class said they decided to have the cafeteria turn these black-boned birds into "AI chicken soup" before the holiday to give teachers and students a taste of technology.

In the last eight months, about a dozen students from the class have devoted themselves to developing an intelligent farming system for the Silkie chickens in Chishui. Students learned from their previous experience in developing an AI goose type in Shantou, Guangdong, in 2022. Previously, they successfully improved the overall survival rate of the Lion-Head goose (African goose) by 30 percent because they made use of technologies such as "goose body recognition". Based on this success, the students risked the Silkie chicken farm in Chishui.

Using deep learning and computer vision technologies, they successfully identified 250,000 Silkie chickens to create a completed database. The result was the world's first intelligent Silkie chicken farming system, which increased the farm's output by 30 percent.

"This farming system combines the old tradition of free-range (自由放养的) farming and modern technology. It contributed to the production of high-quality Silkie chickens through the use of cloud technology," said Feng Yuhong, the Tencent class adviser. Zhang Xiaohong, the university's vice-president, also announced that the project not only marks a significant advancement in the application of AI in agriculture, but also enables students to deepen their understanding of technology and develop their practical skills.

From farming stock, Mary first went to work with her father at the age of 10. Profits from his coffee crop covered her school fees. She married into coffee too, with her husband giving her 100 trees as a wedding present. But Mary's since planted more than 300 herself and joined a women's cooperative. "The aim was to reduce the dependence of women on men in coffee." Mary says, though husbands are allowed to join too—as they tend to own the coffee plantations and support their wives. "More women have started to plant their own coffee." she says.

Mary rises early every day to pick the coffee cherries. "It's hard work but when you concentrate it can become easy." says Mary. After gathering the ripe fruit, she puts it in a bucket of water to weed out the unhealthy cherries. The beans are then fermented (发酵) in water for at least two days before being laid out to dry in direct sunlight. Once dried, the beans are gathered up and later collected by Endiro Coffee, a social enterprise working with women-led, organic farms. The coffee is later milled, roasted and ground, ready for use.

It hasn't been an easy journey for the Bududa farmers, who've faced annual landslides for the past 15 years. In 2018, Mary's mother's house was destroyed and she lost some of her coffee plantations. She dreams of living in a solidly built house with water nearby, so she doesn't have to trek (跋涉) a long way to fetch it－but these will take time to save for. "I've worked a lot and I don't want to stop, but I want my money to work for me." she says.
