Qingqing: Huahua, did you know? Cloud Gate Dance Theatre is also having an outdoor performance this summer at the plaza in front of the National Theater and Concert Hall.
Huahua: Wow, really? Watching Cloud Gate perform in the plaza must feel amazing.
Qingqing: Yeah, and it’s free. Everyone can bring a picnic mat and watch.
Huahua: I’ve always wanted to see Cloud Gate perform. I heard their dances are full of meaning, and the dancers’ movements are beautiful.
Qingqing: I went once with a friend — watching the performance with tens of thousands of people under the night sky felt great. The event draws a big crowd every year, so you might need to arrive early to get a good spot.
Huahua: Thanks for the reminder. Can I bring some fruit and drinks to have a picnic while watching?
Qingqing: It should be fine, but it’s safer to ask the staff on the day of the event.
Huahua: Great. I’m looking forward to being part of this once-a-year arts event.

Alan Turing, celebrated as the “father of computer science,” was a brilliant mathematician and scientist. Born in London in 1912, Turing showed exceptional talent in mathematics and science from a young age. At 16, he understood Albert Einstein’s work without difficulty. This intelligence carried him through studies at Cambridge University and later at Princeton University in the US, where he further explored complex mathematical theories. In 1936, Turing introduced the concept of the Turing machine, a theoretical device for solving mathematical problems. He described it as having an infinite tape on which symbols could be read, interpreted, and modified. With simple
Denmark’s state-run postal service, PostNord, announced that it would cease letter deliveries at the end of 2025 due to the impact of digitalization. As 95% of its residents now use the Digital Post service, Denmark has seen a 90% decline in letter volumes since 2000, from 1.4 billion to 110 million last year. On top of that, the Postal Act of 2024 removes the government’s obligation to provide universal mail service and puts an end to postal exemptions from value-added tax, raising the cost of a single letter to 29 Danish krone (US$4.20). As a result, PostNord is switching
