    We'll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to deal with the problems that come our way.

    This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress (强调) the importance of hardworking spirit education (劳动教育) among students of different ages, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council released (颁发) a guideline recently.

     The guideline calls for students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.

     The government has been trying to stress the importance of hardworking spirit education. But this has been overlooked (忽视) in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.

    According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday housework around the house.

    Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of workin9 hard, the guideline says.

    Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.

    As children's first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do housework at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.

The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US. It crossed New York State（州）from Buffalo on Lake Eric to Albany on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.

Over the canal industrial goods (工业产品) could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation's larges city.

The building of the canal was paid for completely by the state of New York. It cost $7,143,789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges (过运河费) were stopped, the state collected $121,461,891.

For a hundred years before the Erie Canal was built, people had been talking about a canal to join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. At that time some people laughingly called it "Clinton's Ditch (沟) ". Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it. He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal, but they were unsuccessful.

Clinton became governor of New York State in 1817, and shortly afterwards, on July 4, 1817, broke ground for the canal in Rome of New York State. The first part of the canal was completed in 1820. As the canal grew, towns along its course developed fast. The length of the canal is 363 miles.

One of the most popular board games in the US is now becoming popular across parts of Asia. Young people from countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Pakistan have taken up the game and are winning Scrabble tournaments (拼字游戏锦标赛).

Scrabble is a board game played with small, square pieces called tiles. There is a letter on each tile. Each tile is worth a certain number of points. When all the tiles are placed on the board, the players add up their points. The player with the most points wins.

However, the latest three youth Scrabble champions (冠军) have all come from Asia. Now, many Asian countries support after-school Scrabble clubs for young people to develop English language skills.

Scrabble became popular in Asia after a world-famous player moved there 20 years ago. NewZealander Nigel Richards is a five-time world Scrabble champion. He is widely considered as the game's greatest player. In 2015 and 2018, he even won

Scrabble's French tournament although he couldn't speak French. The winner of this year's Scrabble youth tournament — Thailand's Tarin Pairor— calls Richards one of his Scrabble heroes. Tarin said, "Everyone wants to be a world champion at least once. Even though I won the world championship, I will never stop playing."

Whether you're in New York or Beijing, getting into the subway usually requires taking out your public transport card or smart phone. But in one Chinese city, subway riders can now completely set their hands free.

Recently, one subway line in Jinan, Shandong Province has become the first in China to adopt 3Dfacial recognition technology(采用3D人脸识别技术). After downloading the required app-the Jinan Metro app, passengers can enter the station just by looking into a screen at the turnstile(旋转栅门). The process takes around two seconds, which is faster than scanning a QR code(扫描二维码). The new technology greatly speeds up entry times. According to a staff member at Jinan Rail Transit Group, about 30 to 40 passengers can pass through the turnstile every minute.

Today facial recognition is more and more present in our- lives. At KFC stores across China, customers can order their meals by scanning their faces in front of a self-serving screen, which has been around since 2017. With the ATMS of banks like the Agricultural Bank of China（农业银行) ,customers can withdraw cash(取现)by scanning their faces, without the need for a bank card or even a mobile phone. At some airports like Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, the security check(安检)process can be completed in about 12 seconds thanks to facial recognition technology.

Soon we will say goodbye to QR codes and get ready to enter the facial recognition era(时代)!
