When it comes to warm-weather activities that are good for your health, you probably think of walking, hiking or running. But there’s another activity — gardening.
A busy day in the garden can be a good form of exercise. It is helpful for your physical health. People breathe deeper when they are outside. As people breathe deeper, the oxygen (氧气) level in their blood slowly increases, making them feel refreshed.
Spending time outdoors has been shown to help lift spirits and lower levels of stress (压力). After a working day in the hospital, I would spend an hour or so in my garden. I find that pulling weeds (杂草) can let me feel calm after a long day. It provides me with the chance to slow down, plan or work out a problem in my mind.
Gardening can also bring people together and make social connections stronger. The gardening community is rich with people willing to share their knowledge, time and sometimes plants with new gardeners. Many gardening friendships begin with celebrating a success or regretting a gardening mistake. The friendships that I’ve made have been the best gift that gardening has given me. During the spring, my friends and neighbors plan our vegetable gardens together. We discuss what works well or needs to be improved from last year. In summer, we share flowers with each other. In the fall, we host a big party to enjoy fruit and vegetables together. These activities improve the joy we get out of the garden and bring us closer together.

B
You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart? Meet Laura, a robot in the National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8-meter-tall legless robot called EveR 6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance.
Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a computer system that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job.
___▲___. For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even make new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use.
Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam (交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problem of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI.

Have you ever heard of the word “kidult”? It means an adult(成年人) who buys children’s toys to play with. Take Anna Jones, for example.

Teenagers today have lots of free time, and choosing different kinds of leisure activities is very important for their life. These activities not only make their free time meaningful but also help them grow in many ways.
First, different activities help teenagers relax and reduce stress. School life can be busy with homework and exams. Doing things like reading novels, listening to music, practicing yoga, or going hiking lets them forget worries and calm down. Yoga, a popular leisure choice, is great for both physical and mental relaxation. Second, trying different activities helps them learn new skills and gain a sense of achievement. For example, calligraphy teaches patience(耐心) and attention to details, painting develops creativity, skiing trains courage, playing team sports like basketball builds teamwork, and even programming (a cool tech hobby) sharpens logical thinking. When learning these, teenagers shouldn’t give up easily—(A) persistence brings more gains. Third, diverse(多样化的) leisure activities help teenagers make more friends. Joining clubs to collect stamps, exchange postcards, or play sports with others lets them meet people with similar interests, which makes their social life richer. Finally, doing different things avoids them being addicted(沉迷的) to one activity, like playing phone games too much. (B) Going on an outing with friends or trying new hobbies helps keep a healthy balance between study and play.
In short, different kinds of leisure activities make teenagers’ life colourful and healthy. They should try more activities like calligraphy, skiing, or yoga to explore their interests, avoid giving up easily, and grow into better people.
