Early one morning, I saw romance(浪漫) in a place where I least expected to find it- a nursing home.
A few days earlier, an elderly couple came to the home. 1there wasn't a double room available, they separated the couple. The gentleman, Mr West, was placed in a bed beside my father. His wife, Mrs West,2a room with other women.
When I went to see my3that morning, I met Mr West. Three employees (员工) were working with him. He hadn't4for several days. While one nurse was trying to get him to open his mouth,5nurse was trying to ask him to drink something. The third nurse was standing nearby with a cup of6Mr West refused to open his mouth.
7, he said something about his wife. "Go get Mrs West," the nurse said. "Maybe Mr West will eat for her."
A few minutes later, a8lady was wheeled into the room. Mr West9 brightly. I couldn't take my eyes off the couple. The love10them was obvious (明显的), as Mrs West patted Mr West's hand.
With a soft11Mrs West encouraged Mr West to eat. To everyone's 12 , Mr West opened his mouth and began to enjoy the food. While the nurses fed him, he stared at his wife with a smile on his face. Mrs west began humming a tune(哼调子) to him.
Tears filled my eyes. I discovered that romance doesn't13exist when we're young and in love. Romance lasts a14and grows stronger with age.
Today, Mr and Mrs West live together in a place where there are no nursing homes or wheelchairs. There are no tears in their eyes or rooms dividing15.
"I feel great!" said Wang Yaping when she came out of the Tiangong space station, waving back to Earth.
On November 7, the 41-year-old made history. She became China's first female space walker! Wang, together with astronaut Zhai Zhigang, completed a 6. 5-hour spacewalk. They tested the safety of their spacesuits. These spacesuits were made by China.
Since 1984, only 16 women (including Wang) around the world have ever done spacewalks, according to Global Times. But female spacewalkers are very important to space exploration (探索), said Yang Yuguang, vice chair of the Space Transportation Committee of the International
Astronautical Federation.
Yang said that humans may live on other planets someday. If we don't let women take part in this, our efforts would be incomplete. We need to study how female bodies adjust (调整) to the space environment. That's why Wang's spacewalk is important, Yang told Global Times.
German pianist Ludwig van Beethoven is famous for his nine symphonies (交响乐). Before he died in 1827, he began a new symphony, but never finished it. He left behind only a few handwritten notes with his ideas.
Computer scientists and musicians have now used artificial intelligence(AI 人工智能) to finish his 10th symphony.
A team of computer scientists at Play form Al taught a computer Beethoven's style. The computer then completed the symphony using the information in his notes.
First, they gave the computer music by Bach and Mozart. Beethoven grew up listening to them. "We trained our AI as if it was somebody living in the 18th century," said lead researcher Ahmed Elgammal.
Then they gave the AI Beethoven's nine complete symphonies. The AI could then look for patterns and finish the music in Beethoven's style. Does it sound like Beethoven's work? You can decide for yourself by scanning(扫描) the QR code below and listening to it!

One day, I watched my little girl playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone; in the other a toy broom(扫帚). I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary (假装的) friend on the phone. I'll never forget the words she said, even though she was just imagining.
She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She doesn't listen to a word I say or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll. It was clear that she was there to sit alone and think.
My daughter went on with her own "conversation" as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up. I just don't know what to do with her anymore! She never lets me do the things that I just have to do! I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play - don't you know what I mean?"
That day, I thought a lot about making some changes in my life as I listened to her words.
Now I have changed because I learned to see the world in a different light, through my little darling's eyes.
I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her kind mother.
British people love walking. Rambling(漫步), or going on long walks in the country, is one of their(popular) hobbies. All over the country you can find special paths (小径) called footpaths. Everyone can walk on them, even when they are on private land.
If you are rambling on other (people) lands, then it is important for you to know how to behave. The Country Code will(special) tell you how. Some of them are:
— Be careful not to start a fire.
— Don't leave(you) rubbish anywhere in the countryside.
—If you use a gate, close it afterward. If you don't close I,(animal) could get out,
—(Second) people can't use the gate at the same time because it is small.
— Don't make too much (noisy).
