Dear Aunt Carla，    I'm having a problem with my classmate，Joan，at school．The other day I wrote an email to another classmate，Beth，in which I said something about Joan that perhaps wasn't very nice．Unluckily，when Beth was writing back to me，she sent it to HYPERLINK "mail to：[e-mail]，" [e-mail]， which is Joan's email address!Now Joan is really angry with me and won't talk to me，and Beth is unhappy as well．She has said sorry to me a hundred times already，but the harm is done．I feel bad，because I would never have said those things to Joan's face，but how do I get her to forgive（谅解）me？What should I do？

Remember books？ The paper kind．With pages．In the old days before computers，to get information，people read books and newspapers．Students spent hours and hours in the library，looking for information in the old books for homework． Now students can find anything on the internet in seconds．The library was a place where everyone was quiet． Sing along to music？Never! Watch a movie on phone while they are reading？ Impossible! But now students can watch videos about their research topic as they write a paper．

Before computers， articles were handwritten． If a student made a mistake， he would throw the paper away and start writing all over again． Now？ If a student makes a mistake， he can just remove or cut it． Students type on their computers and edit （编辑） freely． But they should save their writing in time on the computer because it may stop working suddenly． Who wants to lose his hard work forever？

Communication online is easy and fun． While students are writing ， they can discuss with friends in another window ．Did you think they were chatting （聊天） with someone in the real same room？ No! They're chatting with everyone in their own room．

Technology helps us get important information in no time．In areas where bad weather is a problem，we can get warnings from our phone． Our local radio or TV station can give information about where to get help or what to do to keep our family and home safe．

Technology is our friend!

Everyone needs help sometimes． People depend on one another． That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it．

For example， what would we do without a community fire station？ If a home catches on fire，as the Jackson place did last week， it might be burned down and people get hurt..or worse． We re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire， safely． If the fire station hadn't come so fast， the Jacksons might have lost everything．

And what about our local police who protect our families， our homes and valuable things？The police have helped so many families this past year，especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains．

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community． We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary ．We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us， but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors， and nurses in our community hospitals？

Think again about what we eat every day； think again about what we wear every day． We cannot produce them， but we use them all the time． We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running． We need these people in the community． We depend on each other． Let's support each other and help each other． Only in this way can we make our community a better place．

Critical thinking（批判性思维） is trying to improve the way you think． People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims（评估主张）．

Like every other skill， critical thinking takes practice． When a problem comes our way， we need to think critically to decide how to solve it． When we see an advertisement， for example， we should stop and think． Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true， and then people can buy the products． But is what the advertisement says true？ Is it making a claim？ Or does it only interest us？ Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices． In fact， we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see．

Practice makes perfect． While you are growing in critical thinking， you'll become a wiser and more thoughtful person． There are many ways of doing practice． Here are a few．

★ Read about a topic people disagree on． Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject． For each side of the subject， think carefully and evaluate it．

★ When you see or hear a claim， ask questions about it． Who is making the claim and why？

★Evaluate your own thinking． Where and why do you think uncritically？ How can you improve？

Critical thinking should be part of everything we do． It may help you to succeed at work or school ．Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking． Change your thoughts and change your world．

Artificial intelligence （AI） （人工智能） is growing rapidly． We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI． AI is a group of technologies that help machines get， understand and use information to do tasks．

AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention． Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible． For example， AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering． But this attention has also produced a lot of fear． Especially， many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs．

According to a recent study， nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI． In some industries， AI is already doing the work that people used to do， such as assembling （装配） cars， digging the coal and lifting goods． Self﹣driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future．

On the other hand， AI will also create many new jobs for people． More people will be needed to write programmers for AI systems （系统） and they will set up and work on them， too． Meanwhile， jobs that require feelings， excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced （取代） by AI． These includes jobs in fields like teaching， nursing and personal training．

AI is here． It is changing how people live and work in many ways． That makes AI important to watch， not to fear．
