A study points out that parents can take some key steps to raise children well. So, the parent-child relationships are very important. Parents bring warmth to children's lives. They usually show kids love with support (支持). As a child grows older, he finds warmth in the parent-child relation in other ways. This can lead children to do very well in all the fields.
In fact, parents are the children's role models. They can teach children not to depend on their parents or others. They are also very strict with children. That's to say, children must do as they are told. Setting limits (限制) can help children focus on the work. For example,limiting television time can help them finish homework on time.
From early childhood, the home becomes a school. And the dinner table might become the desk after dinner. Parents will educate their children much if the parent-child relation is strong. For example, reading books to them will improve their language skills, playing games with them will help them think and finishing puzzles (智力游戏) with them will improve their cognitive (认知的) skills.
Mum and Dad play different roles in childhood. Mums are their life teachers. They teach children not to be afraid of new environments. They also spend time on simple and fun activities with children. Dads are their growing teachers. Experts think fathers play an important role in children's feelings and development. The father-child relation always helps children learn to express and control their feelings.
1. What can warmth and parents make the children do?

Small things can talk. In ancient times, people often used things to express their feelings. These things could speak louder than words.
In the Drama Understands Red Chambers, Baoyu gives Daiyu his two old handkerchiefs (手帕). He says nothing, but Daiyu understands he cares about her. In the past, couples usually used handkerchiefs to show their love and care.
When Liu Bang thought Han Xin might rebel (谋反), he wanted to kill him. During a meal, Liu Bang suddenly broke his chopsticks (筷子) and looked straight at Han Xin. The broken chopsticks were a sign of attacking. Seeing this, guards (守卫) rushed in and caught Han Xin.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the city of Nanjing fell. Official Shi Kefa was caught by Doudou. However, Shi pushed the fan he was holding to one side. Doudou knew “Meat is no good, and you can live.”, so he put his own fan in front of Shi. It showed he meant “No.”.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was in a war against Xu You. This Xu was coming to help him. He ran out away and lifted his clothes high. You heard second Cao showed his respect to Xu. It was also a sign of a warm welcome. That made Xu feel very happy.
These stories tell us that small things can carry big messages. They are the unspoken language of the heart.

People use AI daily in business, education, and information searching. But sometimes AI may offer information that isn’t real. We call it “AI hallucination (幻觉)”. Often, AI hallucinations are just strange. For example, reporter Satyen K Bordoloi once asked AI to tell him the world record of crossing the English Channel (英吉利海峡) “on foot”—something impossible. But AI replied that someone set the record in 2020 with a time of 14 hours and 51 minutes.
What’s more, some AI hallucinations can cause real problems. In 2023, two lawyers were fined (被罚款) $5,000. They used AI to write a legal paper (法律文书), but they didn’t check if the cases (案例) were real. They just trusted the AI, and that was a big mistake. So why does this happen? Two information science students, Anna Choi and Katelyn, explain that AI works by reading a lot of information, and it tries to find rules in that information. How AI answers questions completely depends on these rules. When it doesn’t have an answer, fails to know what to do, or doesn’t understand the question, it will try to use data (数据) from similar situations to make up some information, so the final answer may not be real or true.
AI can be helpful for research, especially when you’re looking for ideas for starting a topic. However, it’s important to check what it tells you. For example, ask where the information came from.
Remember that we should think for ourselves and not trust AI blindly!

Walking the “cardboard dogs” is even now a fun way of socializing (社交).University students when walking “cardboard dogs” can talk before.
Some people think walking “cardboard dogs” is childish. Li Jing is a dog lover from Northeast Normal University in Jilin Province. She said that what others say is not that important. For her, what matters most is to be happy. She always wants to keep a dog and making a cardboard one is a perfect choice. Fan Xiran is another student from the university. She said that making “cardboard dogs” helps her relax and gives her more chances to communicate with others.
“As social animals, people need face-to-face communication,especially when interpersonal exchanges (人际交往) are more and more online these days. The ‘cardboard dog’ trend may be a great chance for university students to go outdoors and communicate with each other,” said Qu Hongmei, a teacher from Jilin University.

Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages! In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book—The Sounds of Life, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translate.
All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we can hardly pick up and decipher (破译). Elephants for example talk with each other using infra-sound (次声波)—far below our human hearing range. Coral (珊瑚) in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas. This is surprising as coral don’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning, according to the news website Vox. For example, American researchers used AI to translate bats’ 15,000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion (入侵) of personal space, and unwanted relationships.
This technology can not only understand the animals but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the nectar (花蜜) was.
1. How do elephants communicate with each other?
They communicate with sounds that humans________________________________
2. What is surprising about coral’s ability to send sound waves?
