1．Last week，Google held a conference where the company announced what it had planned for the coming months.This year the company talked about combining mobile and search products with new services，better known as apps.
Google Assistant
Google Assistant is a service designed to help users get things done.Using advanced technology，it can communicate as if it were a real person.For example，someone is standing in front of a sculpture and asks Google Assistant， "Who is the artist？" The service would know where the person asking the question is and what he or she is talking about，providing the name of the sculpture's artist as the answer.
The service can also search a user s photographs and videos.The user can ask to "search my photos for hugs." Google Assistant then provides all of the images of individuals hugging.
Allo
Google is launching a new messaging app called Allo.The app uses your phone number so it is easy to connect with your friends.Within Allo，users can send text messages，photos，stickers and emoji images，Users can add photos and draw on photos within Allo，Google Assistant is available within Allo.Users can ask Google Assistant questions and get answers within the Allo app.For example，a user can ask， "When is my next appointment today？" and get the answer without leaving Allo.
Duo
Duo is Google's new video chat app.Duo is similar to Apple's FaceTime，but available only as video and only on mobile devices.
Duo can adjust the quality of a video based on the strength of the Internet signal.If the user has a weak Internet connection，the video will adjust to a lower quality so the chat can continue.

2．When Marine Hayashi first arrived at American University in 2013，she was a little afraid. "I got homesick and I cried almost every day when I was in freshman year.And also，since English is my second language，I worked very hard."
Hayashi is originally from Hokkaido in the north of Japan.After three years at an international high school，she decided to attend a university in the U.S..Also，both of her parents earned graduate degrees from universities in the U.S..

3．The ice used at the World Ice Art Championships in Fairbanks，Alaska，is often referred to as the"Arctic diamond，" and for good reason.Thick，clear and shining with a slight amount of aquamarine （海藍(lán)色），its qualities have drawn the attention of ice sculptors from around the world who make the annual journey to east-central Alaska to test their skills carving it into complex swordfish，dragons，polar bears and anything else that starts the imagination.
The high-quality ice comes from a pond near North Pole，Alaska，located just southeast of Tanana Valley State Fairgrounds，where the annual competition is held.On average，volunteers from Ice Alaska，the organization responsible for performing the championships，harvest more than 4 million pounds of ice in preparation for the event，which has been taking place since 1990 and is one of the largest events of its kind in the world.Last year alone，more than 11.000 people came to watch as nearly 100 artists sawed and cut blocks of ice into gallery-worthy masterpieces.
"The ice is so clear that you can read newspaper through a 30- inch thick ice block，" says Heather Brice，a local ice sculptor and world championship winner.
While ice is the star of the show during the multi- week event （this year's is scheduled for February 15 through March 31），the creativity and talent of the artists promote it from a giant ice cube to a crown jewel.Many of the sculptors have built their careers around ice carving，including Brice and her husband Steve，who have won 26 awards at the world championships.
They are also the artists responsible for the sculptures at the year round，25-degree Aurora Ice Museum，located 60 miles outside Fairbanks.When they're not competing or working on commissioned （委托的） pieces，they run a successful online shop that sells ice carving tools of their own design.
