While I was driving home, a vehicle struck my new car from behind, with a blow that sent me into the busy road. I fought hard to open my eyes for a second, but I lost consciousness (知觉).After I was taken to hospital, the doctors told me I wasnt going to be able to move anything from my neck down.I had lost the use of almost every muscle and was very weak.But at the rehab centre (康复中心), I saw a glimpse of hope and was inspired by other patients with injuries like mine.The first year was slow and I didnt see much progress. My head felt like a heavy ball and I couldnt hold it up, and my blood pressure would drop all the time.And while the idea of walking or even standing was out of the question, I sure did try.Six months later, I was finally given the green light to return home.However, thats when the reality of the situation became clear to me.I realized that my life was so different. I was unable to use a phone, and unable to feed or wash myself.I couldnt grip on to anything, a fork or spoon was too heavy to pick up.I had to learn to be patient with myself, and to enjoy every moment going forward.I was determined to walk again, so giving up was no longer a choice.I fought hard on my recovery and still do to this day. Im now moving my legs and arms on my own, doing things like working out, swimming, and yoga.All of this is proving my doctors wrong, and is turning the page from the impossible to the possible.My faith (信念), supportive family, friends, and team encourage me to continue to work harder.I believe that this difficulty is an opportunity to grow, become stronger, and keep on fighting to hopefully inspire others not to give up.I learned one lesson from my car accident: Never give up on faith, and never give up on hope.26.

Now, its time for us to express our nostalgia for this great writer.On Dec 14, 2017, the famous Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong passed away in Taiwan.Born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Yu studied in Sichuan when he was young. At that time, he had showed great interest in Chinese poems and spent a lot of his free time trying writing poems himself. Then he managed to publish his first poem at the age of 20. A year later, Yu and his family moved to Taiwan. He lived and worked there until his death.Nostalgia (乡愁) is Yus masterpiece in which he expresses his homesickness for the Chinese mainland when he was in Taiwan.Published in 1971, the poem remains highly popular among Chinese speakers worldwide. Even those who know little about literature (文学) are familiar with lines from the poem. The poem is included in Chinese high school textbooks.Besides his achievements in poetry, Yu was also a successful essay writer, critic and translator.He once translated English poet Siegfried Sassoons poem In Me, Past, Present, Future Meet into Chinese. It is regarded as an accurate and powerful translation, in which the most famous line is “心有猛虎，细嗅蔷薇” for “In me the tiger sniffs the rose”.Yu spent his whole life writing. “The reason why I stick to writing till today comes down to my passion for the Chinese language,” he once said in a 2015 interview. He then added that this passion was strengthened by his love for his mother and his motherland. Now, lets appreciate the poem Nostalgia.NostalgiaWhen I was young,Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp,Me on this side,Mother was on the other side.When I grew up,Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket,Me on this side,Bride on the other side.But later on,Nostalgia was a low grave,Me on the outside,Mother on the inside.And at present,Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait,Me on this side,Mainland on the other side.31.

But even more oddly, there is no cashier at all. So what has happened to this store?Well, you may have entered Tao Caf, a cashless store created by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. In July, the public got to see the store for the first time at Alibabas Taobao Maker Festival in Hangzhou.The 200-square-meter store sells drinks, fast food and snacks. It can hold up to 50 shoppers at a time. To enter and shop, people only need a smartphone with a Taobao app and an Alipay account (账户).By scanning their Taobao QR code (二维码), shoppers are followed with cameras for facial recognition. The store has also digitalized (数字化) all goods and their placement on the shelves. So when shoppers pick up goods, the system will be able to “watch” and “remember” their selection.When shoppers are ready to leave, they dont wait in line to pay. Instead, they go through two checkout doors. Then the bills will be paid with a Taobao account connected to Alipay.According to Alibaba, the checkout machines can recognize goods even when shoppers put them in pockets or bags. So it is almost impossible to steal things from the store.Tao Caf is not the only cashless store in China. A 24-hour convenience store with no staff called BingoBox opened in Shanghai in June. To enter the store, shoppers scan a QR code on WeChat or Alipay. But unlike the Tao Caf, they have to scan another QR code to leave the BingoBox.36.
