Maggie is a lovely girl. She is only ten years old but she likes reading and thinking. One evening, while Maggie's mom was preparing dinner, Maggie came into the kitchen. She stood beside her mom for a few minutes and then suddenly asked, “ Mom, what is puberty (青春期)?”

When Mom heard the question, she stopped cooking and looked at her daughter with her mouth wide open. She wasn't sure how to answer the question. Mom thought for a few seconds and then she said to Maggie kindly, “Maggie, why not look up the word in the dictionary? After that, we can talk about it. OK?”

Maggie agreed and left the kitchen happily. Half an hour later, she returned with a thick dictionary in her hand. Her mom asked her what the dictionary said.

“Puberty means,” answered Maggie, “the earliest age at which a girl is able to bear children.” “What do you think of that?” her mom asked with a smile.

“I'm not sure really,” Maggie replied seriously. “I have always been able to bear children but I can't bear the old sometimes.”

In English, the word “bear” can have several meanings. In the dictionary, “bear” means “to give birth to a child”, but clearly, Maggie was thinking about its another meaning- to stand something.

Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart” John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name “artificial intelligence” over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.

An unusual goal of Al research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically (逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize human faces, operate self-driving cars and compete in some game systems like playing chess. However, some people consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We need not only bright students but also average (普通的) students. As for average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful Al designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for Al designing.

Scientists hope to create creative and emotional (有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.

In 1987. a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's second largest maker of smartphones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier (供应商) of 5G.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U. S. government ordered a ban (禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U. S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.

“We have never received such a request from the Chinese Government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said. “The ban from the U. S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only £ 4, 000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic (浪漫的) as you imagine.”

Facing the ban of the U. S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment (电信设备) supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.
