Our school has recently introduced digital school cards, which have quickly become an essential part of campus life. These cards, similar in size to regular ID cards, are equipped with advanced technology and multiple functions.
First, they serve as efficient library cards. Students can use them to borrow and return books through self-service machines in the library. The system also sends reminders about due dates via the school app, helping students avoid late fees.
In the cafeteria, the cards simplify the payment process. Students just need to hold their cards near the payment terminal, and the cost of their meals is automatically deducted from their online accounts. Parents can monitor their children's spending by using the school app and even add money to the accounts remotely.
Safety is enhanced with the GPS tracker in each card. During school trips, teachers can locate students in real-time through a special app. In case of an emergency, students can press a button on the card to send a distress signal to the school security office.
The cards also improve the attendance system. When students enter classrooms, sensors automatically detect the cards, recording their arrival times. This helps teachers manage classes more effectively.
Although most students welcome the new cards, some worry about technical problems or losing them. The school has promised free replacements and technical support. “These digital cards make school life safer and more convenient,” said Principal Li. “We believe they will bring positive changes to our school.”

In the digital age, digital fitness has emerged as a trend among young individuals, reshaping the way they approach health and exercise. Smart watches equipped with advanced sensors and a plethora of(海量的) fitness apps have made it not only 1 but also convenient to monitor various aspects of physical well-being. These devices can accurately record daily steps, measure the distance of a run, and even analyze the quality of sleep, providing users with comprehensive data about their health. What's more, some sophisticated apps can generate personalized workout plans, taking into account factors like. age, fitness level, and specific goals, whether it's shedding pounds, building muscle, or enhancing endurance.
Nevertheless, the excessive reliance on digital fitness devices has given rise to several 2 . Many users become overly fixated on numerical data, such as step counts and calorie burn. For instance, a student might rush to complete 10,000 steps a day regardless of how their body feels, turning exercise into a mechanical task rather than an enjoyable activity. As a result, they often overlook the 3 that exercise should bring, and feel disappointed or stressed when they fail to meet the set targets. Additionally, the constant need to check fitness data on screens not only strains the eyes but also disrupts the rhythm of daily life.
Privacy is another significant concern. Fitness devices gather a vast amount of personal information, from basic health metrics to precise location data. There is a real risk of data 4 , as hackers may attempt to access this sensitive information. Once leaked, such data could be misused, leading to some 5 , like identity theft or unauthorized access to personal health records.
To make the most of digital fitness while minimizing its drawbacks, users should strive to strike a 6 between relying on data and listening to their bodies. They can view the data as a helpful guide rather than an absolute standard. Meanwhile, choosing well-known brands with strong data security measures, regularly updating software, and being cautious about granting app permissions are all effective ways to 7 privacy risks. By adopting these strategies, digital fitness can truly become a valuable asset in maintaining good health.

Artificial Intelligence, known as AI, is no longer a far-off concept but an integral part of our daily lives. Its presence is felt in various aspects, bringing both convenience and transformation.
In the transportation sector, AI has made remarkable progress. Self-driving cars, powered by AI technology, are being tested and developed around the world. These cars use an array of sensors, cameras, and complex algorithms to perceive the surrounding environment, make driving decisions, and navigate roads. They have the potential to reduce traffic accidents caused by human errors, such as distracted driving or speeding. For example, in some pilot projects, self-driving shuttles are already operating in certain areas, providing a more efficient and safer transportation option for short-distance travel.
The healthcare field also benefits significantly from AI. AI-driven diagnostic tools can analyse medical images like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans with high precision. They can detect early signs of diseases, such as cancerous tumours(癌性肿瘤) or heart problems, which might be overlooked by human eyes. Some AI systems can even predict the likelihood of a patient developing certain diseases based on their genetic data, lifestyle, and medical history. This helps doctors make more informed treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.
In our homes, smart devices equipped with AI offer a more comfortable and convenient living experience. Smart speakers, for instance, can understand voice commands. We can ask them to play music, check the weather, set reminders, or control other smart home appliances like lights and thermostats. Smart security systems with A- based facial recognition technology enhance home safety by identifying authorised and unauthorised individuals.
However, the increasing use of AI also raises concerns. One major worry is privacy.AI systems often collect a large amount of personal data to function effectively, and there are risks of this data being misused or leaked. Another concern is job displacement. As AI automates certain tasks, some jobs that involve repetitive or routine work may be at risk of being replaced by machines.

1. What technology powers self-driving cars
