What is the future of AI（人工智能）？Will it be a good thing？ We asked students what they think．

	Think of what's happening right now． Some robots are used to kill animals under human orders． So I think Al will be very dangerous for humans． We need to be careful about what we ask machines to do．

Have you ever had dreams about building a robot？Or putting together a spaceship？Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate？Done．All you need is a 3﹣D printer．

The possibilities of 3﹣D printing seem endless （无穷尽的）．All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in．The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass，sugar and even skin!When the user presses （按）﹣print，the 3﹣D printer spreads the materials layer （层） by layer and like magic the object is produced．

The first 3﹣D printer was invented in 1986by American，Charles Hull．But 3﹣D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use．Designers now use 3﹣D printing to create unusual things．The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges．

And doctors have used 3﹣D printing to print human body parts!The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man﹣made ear．But like a lot of new technologies，if 3﹣D printing gets into the wrong hands，it can be dangerous．

In 2011a group of four men in the US used 3﹣D printing to Produce ATM skimmers （提款机盗刷器）．These were placed on an ATM and stole over ＄400，000from users of the ATM．It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3﹣D printer to print a gun．But for better or for worse，3﹣D printing has been put into use．In a few years，you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3﹣D printer!

In the summer between my first year and second year in college，I was invited to be an instructor （辅导员）at a high school camp．On the first day，when we were dancing and playing games，I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin．His shyness made him appear weak．I walked towards him，introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people．He quietly replied，"No，I really don't want to do this．"I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him，either．Actually，the boy didn't need a close talk but a 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．
