中国第一个人工智能食堂
Do you often eat out for breakfast or other meals? It’s said that China’s first AI canteen (人工智能食堂) without any waiter or cook opened in Shanghai. The canteen has all the eight great foods of China, and more than 30 kinds of breakfast for people to choose. The robots in the canteen are so smart that they can make lots of delicious food. After cooking, the robots put the food into boxes. People can eat the food there and they can also take the food away.
How to pay for the food in the AI canteen? What people have to do is to place their food on a smart desk and the computer will tell them the price of the meal. People can pay for it in many ways, such as bank cards, QR codes (二维码) and cash.
At the canteen’s food areas, people can find different kinds of foods for their meals. For example, if people like spicy food, they can go to the Sichuan food area. If people like sweet food, they can go to the Guangdong food area. Many people who work nearby say that ▲ because of the AI canteen. They can enjoy the tasty food and then have a break before going back to work. So more and more people like to go to the AI canteen for meals.

时文阅读—讲好中国故事 传统节气——小满
In China, there are 24 solar terms. Xiaoman is the eighth one. Its name means “a little full” in Chinese. During this solar term, we begin to find small changes in the environment. In the south of China, we can find the rising water levels because of more rainy days. Around the Jiangnan area, we can also see the flowering of plants. In the north of China, Xiaoman is an important time for the spring-planted crops. The crops are growing and almost ready for harvest. So, this solar term is important to farmers.
In ancient times, people held different activities during Xiaoman. On the day of Xiaoman, farmers gathered around and rode on the waterwheels. Waterwheels were one of the most important tools for them to bring water to the fields. Also, farmers put water into their fields in the hope of a good harvest. What’s more, people believed that Xiaoman was the birthday of Canshen. They would take good care of silkworms and cocoons to show their respect for Canshen.
Eating wild vegetables is also a tradition during Xiaoman. Bitter greens are the earliest wild vegetables. Chinese people like them. They are not tasty and a little bitter. So, it is not usual for people to plant them in their own fields. But they can help our bodies in many ways.
Xiaoman is a time with many traditions. We can enjoy both something good in nature and something simple in life. There are also great meanings behind Xiaoman. Just as the name suggests, things are almost full but not quite yet. The best life comes from finding happiness with little things, just like a moon not fully round. Besides, it also tells us to pay attention to environmental changes and follow the rules of nature.
