“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way to greet other people. But when a person says “How are you?”, they might expect to hear fine in reply, even if the other person isn’t actually fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common ways of saying “Hello” and “Hi”.

Sometimes people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” the other person might be thinking, “No, I don’t agree. I think you are wrong.” This doesn’t sound very polite, so they might say, “I’m not so sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.

It’s interesting when people want to finish talking. For example, when someone wants to finish talking with another person on the phone, they may say “I have to go now.” Sometimes they might give an excuse, such as “Someone is at the door” or “I left something on the stove (炉子)”. The excuse might be real, or it might not. It’s a polite way to stop a conversation and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings. People don’t always say exactly what they are thinking. That’s just part of the game of language.

58. What do you usually say to greet other people?

______________________________________

59. What is a polite way to say “I don’t agree”?

60. Do you always say exactly what you are thinking? Why or why not?

It’s highly possible that robots will be used to help human teachers in the near future. That’s according to a study by scientists from universities in the USA, Japan and Europe. The study has looked up more than 100 published articles, which have shown robots to be effective (有效) in increasing learning results.

Because of pressures on teaching budgets (预算), and calls for more personalized teaching, scientists have started to build robots for the classroom-not the robots used to learn about technology and math, but social robots that can actually teach. The study shows robots are skilled in teaching certain subjects, such as vocabulary and numbers.

Robots can free up time for teachers, allowing them to focus on what people still do best.

Recent developments in China may provide us with a glimpse (一瞥) of the future.

The Hong Kong-based English language newspaper, South China Morning Post, has reported some kindergartens (幼儿园) across China have used AI robots to help interact with their pupils.

The AI robots interact with the young children by playing games with them, singing, dancing, reading stories, carrying out conversations and even doing math.

Since 2016, the AI robots have been used in about 200 kindergartens across China, the newspaper reported.

So can we expect to see robots helping us at school? How soon will it be before you see a robot in a classroom near you?

53. How many kindergartens have the AI robots been used in across China since 2016?

_____________________________________________________________________

54. According to the study, what subjects are robots good at teaching?

_____________________________________________________________________

55. Do you think robots will take place of (代替) teachers in the classroom in the future? Why or why not?

Why do some people seem to be naturally happier than others?

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have known the answer according to their recent study. Nine hundred twins took part in the study and had their happiness levels measured. The result shows that our genes(基因), in fact, control half of the personality traits(特点) that make us happy. And the other half is linked with lifestyles, careers and relationships. That is to say, individual differences in happiness are based on genetic differences between people.

"All human beings naturally desire happiness. We have found that happiness is partly rooted in genes," said Dr Alexander Weiss, the leader of the research. "This study is both a milestone and a new beginning: A milestone because we are now sure that there is a genetic side of happiness and a new beginning because the happy genes have just been found."

However, the researchers warn that genes are not the whole story. The environment can also affect our happiness levels. In fact, a great deal of our happiness is directly connected with  whatever is happening in our lives. Thus finding the right matters affecting us is the correct thing.

To become truly happy, we need to understand our important needs perfectly for if we fail to satisfy our needs, then unhappiness might happen. Besides, doing simple things, such as keeping a journal and writing down three things that we are thankful for every day, can increase our long-term happiness. Will you try it tonight?

53. What plays the most important role in making us happy?

54. What tip will you give to the people who are easily unhappy?

55. Some people think wealth seems to bring all happiness in life Do you agree with this point of view? Why or why not?
