(A)
Meet DeepSeek: your smart robot friend
A: I'll ask you a brain-teaser(脑筋急转弯). What has to be broken before you can use it?
B: An egg! Because you must crack its shell to cook or eat it!
You may think this is a talk between two people. But what if "B" is a robot? This is DeepSeek. It's a clever AI chatbot made by a Chinese company.
Like a friendly robot helper, DeepSeek can answer questions, such as "How does a rainbow form?" or "What's a fun weekend plan?" It is super smart—it can write stories, explain Maths problems and even suggest films to watch! For example, if you want to know about dinosaurs, space or the weather, DeepSeek can make learning exciting.
But remember, DeepSeek has its problems. It can only answer questions with information in its database(数据库). It isn't creative, so it can't create new ideas like humans. Sometimes, it might make mistakes or give funny answers, like suggesting "wear a spacesuit" on a snowy day!

(B)(常州溧阳市期末)
Great inventions: from old to new
Chinese people invented many wonderful things that changed the world.
Long long ago, we had the “Four Great Inventions”. They are papermaking, printing, gunpowder and the compass. Papermaking changed the way people wrote. Before paper, it was difficult to keep records(记录). Printing helped people to make many books very quickly and cheaply. Gunpowder was used at festivals and later in mining(采矿业). The compass helped explorers(探险者) find their way on the sea. These inventions first came from China and then spread around the world.
Now, China has “New Four Great Inventions”. They are high-speed train, mobile payment(移动支付), bike sharing and online shopping. They are very popular in our life. The high-speed train is fast, clean and comfortable. It makes travel between cities very easy. With mobile payment, people just use their phones to pay for things. It’s very convenient. Bike sharing makes it easier for people to travel around the city. Online shopping lets people buy almost everything without going out.
From the old four to the new four, Chinese inventions always make our life better.
