Thanks to a translation by Jane Gesme, this international bestseller in English is on sale now.

Reading Schacht’s book is like ping-ponging between worrying about your daredevil (胆大妄为的) son and being proud of your older brother. At parts, I was really frightened for his safety. In order to eat. he worked any job he could find -sailor.  waiter, gold miner, model. He mostly slept in hammocks (吊床) on the street or else in his tent. He hitchhiked（搭车) everywhere，even across oceans as he found jobs on sailing boats in return for food and a bed.

However, Schacht’s book does not doubt people. He believes that many people in the world are kind, helpful and curious. This friendliness probably saved his life many times.

Though not perfect for everyone. Schacht’s ways of traveling force him to look for help from others. He meets a Canadian living on a boat in Colombia, who used to be an excellent cook. Schacht needs to learn how to cook in order to get a job on a ship to Panama. In these high-stress moments, Schacht only has a little time to find a way to his next destination ( 目 的 地 ). The relationships he makes along the way are life-changing. As he learns. “In most situations it is quite easy to help someone move forward when they would not have done it alone.”

From sailing across the equator (赤道) to speaking bad Korean in Gyeongju Schacht takes us around the world in surprising detail. Like Schacht, we are also thankful for the journey. We feel even more pleased that Schacht chose to share it with the world.

Would you pay thousands of dollars for a painting with a face so unclear that you're not even sure it's a face? What if the artist was a computer?

A piece of artwork created mainly by a computer programme has been sold a the price $432,500—about ten times more than people expected. This painting named Edmond de Belamy, was created by artificial intelligence (AI). This means the computer now doesn't just follow us, but makes some decisions and "thinks itself".

15,000 real paintings were used by some French students to train the computer programme with two parts.

One part tries to create paintings that look real, while the other part decides if it is good. If the painting doesn't look real enough, the first part will change its decisions until it comes up with a better work.

This is not the first AI artwork just the first piece on sale. In fact, many people are not impressed with the painting. "The work isn't interesting or creative," says Robbie Barrat, who helped create the painting but doesn't like the idea of selling it. He thinks it's too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing.

In some other people's opinion, however, AI art is already very unusual. They hope it will be more common in the future.

Still, people who look down upon AI art shouldn't worry. Just as an AI artist, Theo Triantafyllidis says, he usually thinks of AI as a tool and not the artist. Even the best AI today is somewhere between a stupid child and a smart pet. It will grow up.

7．Edmond de Belamy was mainly created by ________.

A．a computer programme B．some French students

C．several unknown artists D．a man called Edmond

8．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A．What the computer programme can do.

B．Whom the computer programme was trained by.

C．Why the painting Edmond de Belamy was created.

D．How French students train the computer programme.

9．The writer mentions Robbie Barrat in Paragraph 5 to show ________.

A．many people are impressed with the painting

B．lots of people took part in creating the painting

C．some people didn't expect the painting to be sold

D．most people thanked Robbie Barrat for his help with the painting

10．What does the writer probably think of AI?

A．It creates better art than humans.

B．It hasn't developed well enough

C．It will make many artists lose their jobs.

D．It will always be a tool used only by human artists.

Delia was a young pianist with a kind, generous nature. Her husband Joe was a young painter who is honest and hardworking. They lived in a small flat after they got married.

Each of them was taking lessons. Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but… when you love your art, nothing is too much.

And soon the money began to run out and they couldn't afford the lessons any more. Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man's daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano and he was going to pay her 50 dollars an hour.

"Delia," Joe said, "I'd be much happier if you go on with your lessons." Delia said that it didn't matter. She said, "When I've earned some money, I'll start again. When you love your art, nothing is too much." But Joe decided that he was also going to stop his lessons and paint pictures and try to sell them.

A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took 200 dollars from his pocket. Delia laughed and asked him where he'd got it from. "A man from Vermont bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!" So the two of them were happy for a while. They didn't have to worry any more about finding the money to buy food and pay the bills. They missed their lessons, but that didn't seem to matter.

Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia's hand was covered in a bandage (绷带). He asked her what had happened and if she was all right. "Oh," said Delia. "My student, Sally asked me to make some coffee for her. So I did and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand. But she went straight to the medicine shop and got this bandage for me."

Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. "Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?" he asked. She tried not to tell him, but then the tears began. "Oh Joe, I couldn't get students so I got a job as a waitress in a restaurant. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can't work any more. I'm sorry, Joe, but we'll still have money from the man in Vermont, won't we?"

Joe looked at her. "There's no man in Vermont," he said. "I haven't sold any paintings. I've been working in a medicine shop, and today someone came from the restaurant to buy bandages for a woman who'd burned her hand. So when I saw you—well, I guessed."

They both laughed. "So we've told each other lies," said Joe. "But when you love your art... "Delia put her fingers to his lips. "No, Joe," she said. "When you love someone, nothing is too much."
