7、 strange clothes. Since I have moved here though，I have found this to actually be completely false and I think I would prefer it if they did just wear jeans，so I could do the same!Hamburg is a very big shopping city. Apart from H&M，New Yorker and Mango，I have found a New Look and a new Topshop have
8、recently just opened. These shops are quite popular shops in the UK and sell clothes which are always considered as very fashionable.Another thing I am really struggling with，as well as trying to be fashionable，I am trying to find the right clothes for the weather.

9、 it is nice and sunny but the next minute it is throwing it down with rain! One day it might start off really rainy and cold but by lunch time it is sunny and really hot，so wearing a coat is not practical.In general，however，I think it has also got cold here very quickly and it already feels like the
10、 winter that I am used to. I frequently go out in my winter coat，hat，gloves and scarf while many other people are still only wearing jeans or leather jackets. I dont understand how they do it as I am always freezing. Is it better to blend（使混合）in with fashion or be warm? I think I would rather be war

Running shoes at the time were heavy. They had spikes（鞋钉）on the sole（鞋底）. The spikes tore up the track and slowed do
14、wn runners.To make a lighter shoe，Bill tried the skins of fish. To make a better sole，he wanted to replace the spikes. Bill look through his wife Barbaras jewelry box. He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern. He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles. Nothing worked.
15、Bill was stumped. Then，one Sunday morning，Barbara made Bill waffles（华夫饼）for breakfast. Bill watched her cook. He studied the cross pattern on their old waffle iron.Inspiration（灵感）hit.The pattern on a waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for. The squares were fatter and wider than sharp spikes.
16、 The pattern would help the shoes grip （抓牢） any surface without tearing into it.When Barbara left the house，Bill ran to his lab. He took the liquid chemicals that，when mixed，would harden into the sole of a shoe. He poured the mixture into the waffle iron and the Waffle Trainer was born.Bills company
17、 put the Waffle Trainer on the market in 1974. It was a huge hit. Maybe youve heard of that company called Nike. And today its worth around $100 billion.It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bills life and helped turn Nike into a well-known name. Today，the waffle iron is kept at Nike

Now，there is a new way we get the news: computer-created news readers.Recently，Chinas Xinhua launched （推出） the worlds first AI news presenters with the Chinese
22、search engine Sogou. The news readers created by machine learning technology are based on two real-life newsmen. One is able to present newscasts in English; the other，in Mandarin Chinese.One Xinhuas report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen，which lo

Some people argued that only low-level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others
25、 praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines.Some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations.
