Our school holds a special traditional culture exhibition hall on last month. Yesterday, I was lucky enough visit the exhibition hall, where is on the fourth floor in the laboratory building. There are varieties of objects represented Chinese traditional culture displayed in the hall, such as Chinese instruments, the "scholar's four jewels" but different kinds of Chinese drawings. To be honest, I am amazed at the richnesses of Chinese traditional culture. I am pride of being a Chinese. I strong recommend you to pay a visit to the exhibition hall. I am sure they will benefit a lot from it.

Mark Levine, originally from the US, has lived in China for 17 years and  (make)a close bond with the country. 

Before coming to China, Levine heard that China is a country with ethnic groups. like many Americans, he didn't quite get what it's like. "In the United States often people don't understand concept of China as a multi-ethnic country, "Levine said.

Yet,(work) as a teacher at Minzu University of China gives him a better insight than other Americans. He sees (student) from many different ethnic groups in his class, such as Han, Tibetan, Uygur, Miao, Tujia, Bouyei, Zhuang and so on. They not only study together, but also play, eat and shop together after class. It's different what he sees in Western media. "What I see is a commonality (共通性)and common interests, ＂the 74-year-old said.

(learn) more about ethnic groups in China, Levine volunteered at the university's Museum of Ethnic Cultures for many years, studying (it) exhibits. In daily life, he also invites his students to introduce their unique cultures and traditions to him.

As he has learned more about China, he has built a (deep) connection to the country. In his free time as a (music), Levine has written nearly 80 songs about China. The most recent song he wrote is called My China Surprise(《中国让我没想到》). In the song, he says, "My China surprise, you can see it in my eyes. It's the light that shines in them wherever I go. "

Before she passed away from cancer, A. J.

We humans often navigate(导航) using road signs and GPS.Connie Allen, a behavioral ecologist in the U.K., says they navigate over long distances using their incredible memories. 

Allen and her colleagues investigated that idea by testing African elephants' ability to track a very specific smell: urine(尿液). . That urine can contain a lot of chemical clues. 

But first, they needed some urine. So they headed to a spot along Botswana's River and waited. They waited for elephants to urinate. Within 20 minutes, they went and collected these fresh urine samples.

Then they set up camera traps on elephant trails. , they noticed that a majority investigated smells along the trails. The researchers say that smells may serve as signs along the trails.

.And they found that for at least two days, passing elephants trained their trunks on the samples-especially samples from mature adults-another indication that smell might be a strong navigational clue.

Their findings appear in the journal Animal Behaviour. Based on these results, they hope conservationists might be able to use elephant urine to help with their work.

A. Elephants don't, though

B. By catching the elephants along the trails

C. Elephants urinate some 12 to 15 gallons a day

D. Next, they placed those urine samples along the trails

E. Finally, they tested the chemicals of the urine samples

F. After observing the elephants' natural behavior on the paths

G. But she also suggests that maybe the smell is vital to the long movements

Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help?

That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message "Listen to the wind and know that I am near written on it." It now hangs in the four-year-old's bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.

This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!

Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100strangers, some found via Della's blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.

Della pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. "I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and YESSS!" It's Della's party, and she'll give if she wants to.

Within weeks of its launch, ChatGPT started a new global race in artificial intelligence (AI). The chatbot is a part of a fresh wave of generative AI — complicated systems that produce content from text to images — that is set to have a great impact on Big Tech, industries and the future of work in a decade.

As an artificial-intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI, an AI research company, ChatGPT was released in November 2022, which can have conversations, generate poetry, and suggest edits to computer programming code. The second half of its name, GPT, stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Transformers are specialized algorithms (算法), learning to predict not just the next word in a sentence but also the next sentence in a paragraph and the next paragraph in an essay. This is what allows it to stay on topic for long stretches of text.

ChatGPT is trained on a vast number of articles, websites and social-media posts from the Internet as well as real-time conversations with people. It learns to mimic the grammar and structure of the writing and reflects frequently-used phrases. But it isn't always accurate: its sources aren't fact-checked, and it relies on human feedback to improve its accuracy.

OpenAI developed ChatGPT as part of a strategy to build AI software that will help the company turn a profit. In January, Microsoft, its strategic partner, announced a fresh multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI and said it plans to integrate ChatGPT into its Bing search app and other products. Google and Baidu are also pushing to launch similar tools.

ChatGPT has reached 100 million users just two months after launch. Despite its sudden burst in popularity, the technology currently has serious limitations and potential risks that include giving misinformation and breaking laws on intellectual property (知识产权).

In 2014, I was in ballet class when I got a call from the hospital that my dad had experienced a stroke. I rushed to the hospital to join him, and found him buried in a nest of cables, surrounded by a variety of monochromatic, rapidly beeping (making a short, loud sound) assistive machines. They seemed to form a single, massive enclosure around him. Every few moments he would peer up at one of the machines with wide, confused eyes. I became clear that many of the technologies that were meant to be helping and supporting him were scary and inaccessible. During the most difficult moments of his life, the machines multiplied his fear.

I wondered how I could make him feel reassured, safe, and dignified around these devices. At the time, I was a professional dancer and choreographer (编舞者). Dancers, performers and theater artists are all masters at evoking emotions, so I began to think how I might improve machines to help him feel empowered and hopeful rather than afraid. My dad is now in his early 70s and fully recovered. But his story led me to start combining my passions for dance and technology.

I've danced with different robots all around the world, in installations (就职) and live performances. I'm now a Ph. D. candidate in mechanical engineering at Stanford University, where I work on models and interfaces that allow robots to learn new tasks from humans.

As the number of robots in society continues to increase, more people need to be capable of using them. I think of other commonly used technologies like laptops and phones and reflect that a user like my dad actively direct the robot with natural human motions.

I believe the intersection (交叉点) between robotics and human will continue to expand as robots move out of the factory and into the public. I am not sure how soon my dad will have a robot in his house, but I do believe that when it arrives, it will be filled with dance knowledge.

May 18th is International Museum Day. Let's take a look at some of the strangest museums around the world.

Giant Shoe Museum

Located in the famous Pike Place Market of Seattle, the Giant Shoe Museum is a single exhibit wall located on the outside of the Old Seattle Paperworks store and brings a lot of business to the shop as a result. A variety of giant shoes include a size 37 shoe worn by the world's tallest man, a real clown shoe and the world's largest collection of giant shoes.

Washington Banana Museum 

Ann Mitchell Lovell really loves bananas. In fact, she loves them enough to not only run the Washington Banana Museum, which features almost 4,000 items related to the world's best-selling fruit, but to also upload photos of her favorite items from the museum online so those who can't make it to the physical location can still enjoy the virtual Banana Museum.

Roswell UFO Museum 

Visitors can ask as many questions as possible about the Roswell incident of 1947, and know about what was spotted in the sky that fateful night. Exhibits include information on the event, crop circles, other UFO sightings, Area 51, and so on. Regardless of your personal opinion about UFOs, there's no denying that the museum has been quite successful. Since it opened its doors in 1992, it has outgrown two different locations, and now occupies an old movie theater.

Beijing Tap Water Museum 

One of the key ingredients you need to make ramen is water, so when you're done with weird (怪异的) museums in Japan, maybe you should head to China to learn more about tap water, specifically the history of the first water plant in Beijing. Here you can study over 300 items to better familiarize yourself with the 100-year-old history of tap water in China. The best thing about this museum is that any of its drinking fountains can provide you with an enduring souvenir of your trip.
