19、nal holidays. On May 1, there were constant traffic jams on highways leading out of the several metropolises, the - 5 -longest, according to reports, was 55 kilometers.

21、 in highway construction, and when there are too many birds the nest will naturally become crowded.Growing tourism also leads to the jams. At the 2014 global summit of the World Travel and Tourism Council, which ended last week, it was reported that Chinese people spent almost 3 trillion yuan on tou

22、rism in 2013, which took up more than 90 percent of hotel income and more than 80 percent of air and railway use.Worse, Chinese have to travel during the same periods.

23、 Oct 1 to 7, the so-called Golden Week, almost every tourist site will be full of visitors.

As traffic jams during the holidays are predictable, they could develop more public trans

24、port and strengthen legal supervision to ensure that every employee enjoys their entitlement to a paid vacation or offer free passes on other days to encourage people to travel on days other than public holidays. The measures might not prevent traffic jams, but they may at least ease the jams.24. Ho

The companys “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the products location in the store

33、. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns.

40、jor Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou.
