I'm worried about your future. "
"What are you worried about? Susan and Rose also failed, but they went skating as usual. "
"My girl, you can't think so." Looking at Alice, her mother said lovingly, "There is a 2 in our hometown. I hope you can listen to it carefully. "

Seeing the dirty-faced cat, the clean-faced one thought its own face was also dirty, so it quickly ran to the riverside and washed its face. The dirty-faced cat saw the clean-faced one, thinking its own face was clean as well, so it walked happily in the street. "
"Alice, 5 can be your mirror (镜子). Only you are your own mirror. Some of the kids are not strict (严格的) with themselves. If you take them to be your mirror, even a 6 person may become foolish." Hearing this, Alice was ashamed and went into her room.
After that, Alice often took herself 7 a mirror to be strict with herself. "I am special, so I needn't be as common as others. " This is 8 Alice was successful in her career (事业) later.

US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, "Poetry (诗歌) is one place where people can speak their original (独创的) human mind. "
To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year.
The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if (似乎) we'd written the poem ourselves.
But in the age of artificial intelligence (人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren't written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems.
In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called "bot or not", where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TEDx Sydney, Schwartz said that all over the years, some of the website's poems were able to fool (欺骗) 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.
By creating the website, Schwartz hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines – and be able to tell what makes us human.
"The human mind is not a cold, hard fact," Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn't be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could.
What would you do if you felt anxious (焦虑的)? Would you feel better if someone else could share his or her experiences with you? In the United States, two teenage girls set up a mental health camp called "Healing (治愈) Hearts" to help people deal with anxiety.
The idea of creating the camp came from Dinah Martinez, 17, and her schoolmate Janet Martinez, 18. Both girls suffered from anxiety.
Dinah Martinez always did well in school. "But then I just started to collapse (崩溃)," Dinah Martinez said. She stopped talking to her friends, stopped going to school for three weeks and stayed at home.
Janet Martinez was anxious in elementary school. Things got even worse in junior high. "It was a lot of pressure (压力) I put on myself. I would wake up in the morning and it was like my heart was racing," she said.
The girls' camp idea got support from Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) in the US. The organization awarded them $ 5,000 to put on the camp for other teenage girls.
"The 'Healing Hearts' camp was created to help deal with anxiety, especially with girls in high school because that's when they are the most vulnerable (脆弱的),"Janet Martinez said.
On the first day of the camp, 10 girls were there. Experts at the camp talked about anxiety. They helped girls who were experiencing anxiety. The girls learned how to calm themselves when they are anxious. They learned about calming methods like deep breathing and guided mediation (调节).
"It's good to know that someone else is going through the same thing as me and we can both help each other out," Dinah Martinez said.

For the rest of the day, a breath of fresh air seemed to blow through the house. Something b than sunshine brightened the quiet rooms. When the girls met, their pale faces broke into s, they hugged each other and whispered, "Mother is coming, mother is coming!"
The snow continued to fall all day. The hours passed very s. The doctor came and told them to hope for a c in Beth's condition, for better or worse, at about midnight. Hanna lay down on the sofa and fell fast a. Mr Laurence walked up and down the parlor (会客厅), looking w. Laurie lay on the rug and looked into the fire.
The girls didn't sleep at all that night. The house was very q, but outside the wind was whistling in the trees. Just after midnight, Laurie went out to the station to pick up Mrs March while it was s hard. Two hours later, Jo was looking out of the window of Beth's room when she heard a noise. She looked around. Meg was sitting on the floor with her h over her face. Hannah was still asleep.
