This is based on data. Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every aspect of our lives: our location, shopping habits and interests. All of this is called “big data”. In December, President Xi Jinping called for China to speed up its big data strategy in order to better serve social and economic development and improve peoples lives. He also asked for greater use of big data in areas like education, social security and transportation. The past few years have seen big data being used more often in China. The role it plays in tourism is just one example. Many travelers today like to share their experiences with others on the Internet. All the data that travelers share online is helping the tourism industry get a lot of information. After the data is analyzed, these tour sights can know about travelers needs better. In this way, services will be improved, which is helpful to the development of the whole industry. As a result, travelers can expect better tours in the future. Big data is also an important growth engine for economic development. With an annual growth rate of 30 percent, sales of big data services and products in China will reach 1 trillion yuan yearly by 2020.41. What is “big data”? A. Songs and shopping lists.B.

As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects. Later in 2016, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director found a way to make it into a 3D animated film. The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly, the Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible. China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions-in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girls life and tells The Little Princes story at the same time in a beautiful way. Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society. “The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and its a pity that this good characteristic goes away as time flies,” he says. 46.

Many of Hawaii's people are descendants of immigrants from different parts of Asia. Most of these Asians are of Japanese ancestry. The parents and grandparents of other Hawaiians came from China, the Philippine Islands, and Korea. In addition, there are some Polynesians in Hawaii. Their ancestors came to Hawaii thousands of years before any other people. Hawaii is rich in traditions. Hawaiians are Americans, but they have preserved the ceremonies of their homelands. People from all over Hawaii come to see the Japanese O-bon Festival in memory of dead relatives and friends. This is an important part of the Buddhist religion. The O-bon ceremonies take place in July and August on Oahu, the main island of Hawaii. There is music of drums and flutes in the courtyards of Buddhist temple. Men and women, wearing traditional clothing called kimonos, do the folk dances of their ancestral land. In the evening the people go to the seashore. They place paper lanterns on hundreds of tiny wood boats. These lights lead the souls of the dead across the dark water to rest until the next year. Chinese Hawaiians have their own way of celebrating the past. For the Moon Festival mid-August, Chinese stores sell delicious round cakes filled with meat. On the night of the full moon, families get together in a garden or open-air space to eat these cakes and drink tea. The cakes are the same shape as the bright moon they see in the sky. Then the people remember how their ancestors won a war by sending secret messages to each other in round cakes. The Moon Festival is important because it helps Chinese-Hawaiians to recall the story of their brave ancestors.51. According to the passage, most Asians in Hawaii _.
