18．①Chemistry is everywhere in our daily life. Sometimes it's easy to see. At other times, it can be very hard to see the everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch has some chemicals(化学物质) in it.
②Chemistry helps to make products for use. Something as simple as toothpaste has at least three chemicals that keep your teeth clean. Other things in your daily life are created by chemistry, such as hair products and soap. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes.
③Chemistry also helps us understand the world around us. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach(漂白剂) can't be mixed with vinegar(醋), because the mixture can produce harmful gas.
④Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is the reason why cooked food often tastes different from uncooked food. Too much or too little of any chemical material makes a difference to the result of baking(烘焙). For example, the cake can be too soft or too hard.
⑤Chemistry isn't something that just lives in a laboratory; it's something that you meet hundreds of times in life. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the life.

19．　　Recently I had a trip to Sydney with my parents. We visited the Wildlife Park.
　　The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals. Some are native to Australia and can only be found there. There are more than 500 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas(考拉) and crocodiles(鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo.
　　We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We could touch and feel them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的). Although we couldn't carry koalas, I could take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir(纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.
　　The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are very big and scary with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.
　　There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species of birds. I saw an old parrot. It could "talk" and made a great impression on me.
　　I enjoy the trip very much. There was so much to see.

20．　　Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) is the ability of a computer programme or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence" over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.
　　An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programmes. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically. At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognise human faces, operate self﹣driving cars and compete in some game systems like playing chess. However, some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.
　　Maths is the basic language of AI. If students are good at maths, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers(设计者) in the future. We need not only bright students, but also average(普通的) students. As for average students, if they get enough maths skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.
Scientists hope to create creative(有创造力的) and emotional(有感情的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.
