If you have a question, you may want to get a quick answer online. Some technology companies are working to make this come true by developing chatbots. They are computer programmes that can communicate with people by phone, on messaging apps or websites.

Chatbots can look up information, answer frequently（经常地） asked questions and collect information from users. They can also be used for online shopping to help people decide what to buy.

This means that open chatbots can answer a wider range（范围） of questions, compared with closed chatbots.

The long-awaited Shenzhen Marathon（马拉松） finally came back after a three-year hiatus. 20, 000 runners hit the road on February 20.   26   -If you are interested in it, here is some good advice for you to follow.

First of all, training for a marathon requires careful preparation.   27   No one can say which brand（品牌） will work best for you, so you have to depend on the feel of each pair on your feet. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit.   28   As always, don't forget to do warming up at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.

More importantly, runners should increase the length of running step by step. During the first week, do not think about how long you can run, but just run five minutes longer each day Relaxation is also important.   29   During the next week, set a goal of at least 1. 5 kilometers every day. With each day, increase the distance by l kilometer. After two weeks, you might probably get used to the amount of running every day. This means that you are ready for a goal of improving distance and time. You can start timing yourself.   30
