There was a kingdom long, long ago. It was ruled by king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.

There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.

One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. "I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle," the king said. Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. "Make this line shorter without erasing(清除) any part of it," the king challenged.

People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their noses to the ground and scratched their heads.

"How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it?" the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt(泥土)over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked, and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.

A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour(面粉).

Your Majesty, "the baker said to the king, I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it." Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king's line. The line the baker made was longer than the king's line.

Now, good king, "the baker smiled, "your line is shorter.

The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. "You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice.

The baker was excited. Now he could sell his breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.

Brooke wanted a dollhouse and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old girl asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voice — activated home assistant powered by AI (人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices (设备) in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!

Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Home Pod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?

    ▲   You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, or driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.

But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing that worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for "Alexa" or "OK Google" or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to shopping habits? And what if someone hacks (入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.

What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?

Since the novel coronavirus outbreak, many families have been told to stay safe inside their homes. This may have been nice at first, but now you are probably bored.       

One important thing, of course, is to keep active. While it can be tempting (诱人的) to sit down all day, make sure you get up to get your blood flowing.

       Coding (编程), drawing, playing a new instrument – the options are endless. You can browse (浏览) the thousands of how — to videos online to learn just about anything. Who needs to take extra classes when you can just watch videos and learn for free?

If you don't trust food delivery during this time, you'll need to cook your own food.       It's a great time to practice preparing a meal for your parents. You can try your hand at folding the perfect dumplings, prepare a variety of meat and vegetables for homemade hot pot, or make use of your oven and bake yourself a pizza or some cookies.

Nowadays the virus outbreak is a serious matter.       Internet users have been flooding online with memes about the virus. For example, the lack of surgical masks has also produced some interesting innovations (创新) with ways to cover your mouth and nose: fruit, plastic containers and bags have all been used as mask replacements (替代物). Some young people even airbrush (修图) masks on WeChat avatars (头像). Seeing pictures of these unique masks is sure to make you laugh.

It's true that staying at home will breed boredom sometimes, but it's also an opportunity to try new things. You now have more time to do all the things you were too busy to get started before.
