Ding Liren likes to watch and listen to the rain quietly. He has just become the world chess champion （ 冠 军 ） .The 30-year-old man is the first Chinese man to become the 17th world chess champion.
Ding comes from Wenzhou， China's "chess city". He started to play chess since he was four years old. His studied law （法律） in college. He reads a lot in his free time. He likes philosophy （哲学） a lot. The chess player sees a great connection between philosophy and chess. They are both abstract （抽象的） .He also likes to play basketball. But when he is playing chess， he has to forget his feelings to be more professional （ 职 业 的 ） .
Ding has another name called Silent Storm. He is a man of few words， but he has unusual skills of calculation （ 计 算 ） .
Someone asked Ding if winning the championship was the happiest moment of his life. He answered："'I love you'doesn't always express that you love
someone very much. To me， the word"happy" is not enough. I need a stronger word for that."
Ding works very hard. Whenever he travels abroad， he brings a pot （锅子） to cook his porridge in."I was too lazy to go out to eat at noon!" he said. Maybe he just wanted to save him some time to practice chess.
My name is Joseph Davranche. My family was very poor.
My father worked very hard. He came home from the office late and made little money.
Every Sunday， we would dress in our best and take our walk. When we saw the big ships return from other countries， my father would always say the same words："What a surprise would be if your uncle Jules came out of one of them？"
My Uncle Jules was the only hope of my family. My father told me about him when I was little. It seemed that he had carelessly spent "a little"money. He wasted all of the inheritance （遗产）. In a poor family， that was crime （ 犯 罪 ） .
He had to go to America on a freighter （ 货 船 ） .
Soon after， my uncle wrote a letter to us. He said he made a little money and he hoped to be able to help the family. At that time， he became a good
man， a kind-hearted man.
Two years later， a second letter came. My uncle told us that his business was good.
He might be away for several years in South America. When he made good fortune ， he would come home. Till then， the whole family would live happily together..
We read this letter again and again. We also showed it everyone. However， we heard nothing from Uncle Jules. On the other hand， my father's hope grew.
What is the right age for kids to have their own smartphones？ Is there a right answer to this？ Maybe there isn't.
Responsibility （责任） . Kids need to be responsible for their things. That is really important. Also， kids need to know to save some money for things they want. If kids don't know how to take care of their things and their money， it might be a good idea for them to wait.
Safety. Do kids travel to or from school by themselves？ Some parents feel better to be able to reach their kids. And if kids can reach them when needed， it gives them the feeling a safety.
Social maturity （社交成熟） .Do kids know how to treat （对待） their friends with kindness and respect （ 尊 重 ） ？Do they know if their personal things go out on the Internet， they can't take them back？ And sometimes we may say something when we are angry. After we say that， we can't
take it back either.
These are three important things to think about before getting a smartphone for kids. They are helpful for kids and their parents to make that decision（决定）. When kids and their parents feel the time is right， then it is the right time.

Kiska was not that lucky. She did not go anywhere. In her lifetime， she had five babies， but all of them died very young.
This made her very sad. If whales live in the wild （ 野 外 ） ， they can live 30 to 50 years. Kiska's final partner in the tank （ 水 箱 ） went back to the United States in 2011. From then one， she was there on her own.
About 4 years ago， a bill （ 议 案 ） passed in Canada. The bill banned （ 禁 止 ） the whole country from raising whales. But it was too late for Kiska. The bill could not protect her because she was already in the tank.

I spent a day with Al a few days ago. I （visit） a place called SenseTime （商汤科技） .Its office space is full of AI technology. We walked around a science and technology exhibition （展览） . I saw many different forms of AI. I even tried to write some programs （ 程 序 ） .It was so much （fun）. It was interesting world of Al!
AI helps us to do things more （quick） and
nicely at home， at school or at work. We pay online in supermarkets. We have robots in airports and many other places. We have ChatGPT language learning. AI may replace （ 取 代 ） people in many workplaces. Many people may lose （them）jobs then. Some reports say our education is （help） us to prepare （准备）for jobs today. But jobs of tomorrow may be different. The report shows the replacement may take a while. And we don't have to （worry） about the number of jobs for now. There is something else for us to worry about.
After a long day， you may want to relax. Scientists made a new device （设备）to give you that feeling!它看起来像一把刷 子 。You can wear it on your arm. It feels like touching （抚摸） a cat. Scientist made it to help us deal with stress（ 应 对 压 力 ） .Studies showed that touching humans or animals allow people to relax. Why is that？ Because touching is an important way to show kindness It makes people act friendly.
The device has a special system （ 系 统 ） .The system can tell the users'stress levels. Some people want to use the device in the armrest （扶手） of the seat in the cinema. 当你在看电影的时候，它在工作。
Your stress level may be different as the story goes.
It can feel the stress and make it go down.
If people don't have the device, they can just put their right hand on the left side of the chest（胸口）. They can do this for 20 seconds. Just feel it and then they may be able to relax a little.
Some young people like playing with bead bracelets （手串） According to Science and Technology Daily, touching beads and listening to the sound of beads can let their brain relax. This can make them feel peaceful.
