Dear daddy! How’s everything going? It’s been so many days since you went to Wuhan. Do you still remember the day before you left? I remember I saw the luggage (行李) in your bedroom. I asked you, “Are you going to leave on business?” You smiled and put your hand on my head, saying, “I’m just tidying up some clothes.”
Later that night, I learned that you and mom had asked to be sent to Wuhan and were waiting for a phone call. (A) At that moment, I hoped neither of you would get the call. However, your phone still rang. I almost cried out in fear as if I were going to Wuhan myself.
The next morning, I got up early. During breakfast, (B) you smiled and asked me if I would miss you. I pretended (假装) it was no big deal and said, “I can text you whenever I miss you.”
When you were leaving, I waved (挥手) to you until I couldn’t see you anymore. Tears flowed down my face. I later realized it was Lantern Festival. I wrote down “Bon voyage” and “Waiting for you to come back” in my notebook. I knew the people of Wuhan needed you more than I did. At night, mom sent me some photos of you and the rest of the medical team. I immediately found you in the photos. I pointed you out and yelled, “Hey, this is my daddy!” I was so proud of you!
After you left, I paid more attention to the battle against the novel coronavirus. (C)I wondered whether you would take good care of yourself. Daddy, remember to exercise and get enough rest.
We all miss you every day. I love you, my superhero, forever and ever.

A special copyright (版权) case has recently drawn attention because it is related to (和….有关的) artificial intelligence (AI). A court (法庭) in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent's AI enjoys copyright protection. 1.
This is the first case in China that has provided copyright protection to work done by AI. But what does it indicate (表明)? 2.
Probably not. AI is not yet able to write creative stories. The news report mentioned above is mainly about data. 3. Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters (灾害), which mainly require basic facts such as "where" and "when". As Forbes wrote, instead of losing their jobs, journalists can make their work more efficient (高效的) by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less on numbers.
4. For example, Wayne MeGregor, a British choreographer (编舞), is famous for using AI to create new dances. For him, AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements. MeGregor is not worried that AI might replace human artists. " 5."
"It's time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative," according to Forbes. Instead. we should focus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.
A.AI can't judge (判断) the quality (质量) of the choreography
B.AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields.
C.Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future?
D.A website broke the law because it used the article without permission (允许).
E.Since AI is good at processing data, it is often used to write financial (金融的) reports.
People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.
Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them; Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time.
Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter how old you are. So I think people should read books.
