Here comes a powerful robot! Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask     1     robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of a cat     2     Max. In the story, Max goes through many difficulties to sing among the stars.

This robot     3     is real. Its name is Chat GPT. The US tech company Open AI made this powerful robot. It can     4     with people, write stories, songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most     5     AI writers.

Chat GPT can write things really     6    . You may spend hours writing an article,     7     Chat GPT can write a good one in seconds. Will Chat GPT answer all your questions? No. If you ask a harmful     8    , it will not give you an answer.

However, the things that Chat GPT creates are difficult to tell from those made     9     humans. This brings many troubles. For example, Chat GPT is trained using words from the Internet, so it might also pick up the biases (偏见) about certain things on the Internet. Humans need to     10     such kind of problems. There’s still a long way to go.

【推荐2】My love of making things began when I was a kid. I really became excited     1     inventing after I learned about Thomas Edison.

One day in fourth grade,     2     teacher gave us a project (项目) in class. We had to write to a company and learn about the products. I thought and thought.     3    , I chose the Thomas Edison Company. Soon after, the company sent me a book about the life of Thomas Edison. How I enjoyed reading and rereading about his    4    ! I like the recorded sound and the electric light most. The inventions appeared clearly in my brain.

My dad noticed my interest in inventing and     5     me. He showed me how to     6     my ideas into plans and then into new things     7    . Once, I surprised my dad with a model plane I made. Later, we found a similar model plane in a store. I learned that different inventors often invent similar things. It is not unusual for this to happen. I also learned that not all great ideas work     8    . Failure is a     9     part of the inventing.

As my father and I worked together, I began to     10     that my dad was quite an inventor himself. He was always looking for a better way to do a simple job.

Compass (指南针) It was a great gift to the world from ancient China. Before it was invented, sailors had to depend     1     the stars to find direction (方向). After it was invented, seas were open to travel. Also, many new     2     (place) were discovered because people used the compass.

Gunpowder (火药)   It was a great     3     (invent) in ancient China. The correct way of     4     (make) gunpowder was probably discovered in the     5     (nine) century. At first, it was used for making fireworks(烟火). At the end of the Tang Dynasty, people began to use it in wars.

Paper-making During the Western Han Dynasty, paper was made in some places in China. It was developed in the Eastern Han Dynasty by Cai Lun. He made writing much     6     (easy) than before with the help of paper. Before it was invented, the ancient Chinese used animal bones (骨头) and stones     7     (write) characters(文字). They also wrote     8     on bamboo and wooden sticks.

Printing (印刷术) In the Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng carved (雕刻) characters on pieces of clay (陶土) and wood. Then he put ink on them. After the characters were printed on paper, the pieces of clay or wood could be used again. It was     9     good way at that time. This technology (技术) spread     10     (quick) to Korea, Japan and Europe.

Many people like animals and take them as their pets. Nowadays pet hospitals are very busy. K    1     persons who love animals are needed to work in busy animal hospitals.

Scientists think that pets will p    2     be much smaller because people in the future will live in much smaller spaces. Scientists have been already working on making very small farm animals. The same things might be d    3    to make cats and dogs smaller.

It’s said that some day you might o    4     a lion as a pet. Scientists might have to start turning wild animals into pets. This might be the only way to save them from dying out.

What a    5     a robot for a pet？ This may sound silly, but it could become true. Robot dogs have been made to bark like real dogs. These “pets” might become more and more p    6     in the future, After all robots don’t lost hair or chew on things as real pets do.

Lots of people miss their pets while they are on holiday. One hotel in Minnesota has solved this problem. They lend cats to their guests. It is very possible that in the future you will be able to order a pet as well as room s    7     at a hotel

The fast development of technology has made many changes in our daily life. Some people believe that schools will not be necessary in the near f    1    . They say that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no need for school buildings, classes or teachers. P    2     this will be true one day, but if the world had no schools, I couldn’t imagine how our society would be.

In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new kind of school that is linked (连接) to libraries, museums, science centres, labs and even companies. Companies should c    3     learning programmes for schools. Scientists could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local TV stations could develop programmes about the students who are studying at school. Labs could set up websites to s    4     new technology so that students could see it on the Internet.

Is this a daydream? No. This is beginning to happen in many cities. In those cities, learning can take place at home, at school and in the o    5    . Businesses provide programmes for schools and society. Schools provide computer labs for people with their own computers at home. Everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones and everyone can go on the Internet, and older people use it as much as y    6     ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is fantastic to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as w    7    ; and we will all learn something from the Internet.
