8、gretful.Ive never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, its almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood.

16、refully before action.CAs an Asian country, Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized, with English among the countrys four official languages, but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise. Quite different from English we know, the
17、 sign read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “No entry”, and Here can charge phone instead of Charge phone here.

22、me magazine, “To actively urge us to give up a language that speaks to the very heart of who we are, thats so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chinese, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is shortsighted, surely.”28 Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A It

30、ard to separate the good these companies do in the world-connecting old friends and giving space for people to share their ideas-from the bad.In the meantime, stopping using technology remains problematic. In The World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech, Franklin Foer argues that tech
