【推荐2】Birdwatching is becoming more and more popular in many parts of the world.

Birdwatchers enjoy looking for and listening to different kinds of birds. To watch birds, all you need is a pair of binoculars, a field guide and love for birds.

If you are just starting birdwatching, buy one of the cheaper pairs of binoculars. You can choose better ones when your needs and skills grow. A field guide helps you learn about the birds’ appearances, calls and habits before birdwatching.

When you are ready, it’s best to go to the wild with someone who is more experienced. You can join a birdwatching group to learn about some beginning skills. A local bird club is ideal.

Start birdwatching in the morning, when birds are searching for food. Most of the time, you will hear bird calls from all around you, but will not see any birds easily. Look for movement in trees, and bring your binoculars to your eyes.

The most important work for a birdwatcher is to identify the birds he/she sees. A bird’s shape, size, colour and habits can help a birdwatcher identify it. When you identify a bird, don’t forget to take notes about it on your notebook.

To find more and different birds, you may wish to plan trips to birds' different living areas: forests, lakes, rivers, wetlands, etc.

When watching the birds, you should always keep in mind: respect wildlife and protect its living areas.

【推荐3】Superfast Writing Robot Tech company has made a powerful robot that can write novels.

Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.

This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it to generate (生成) human-like texts. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing range (范围) of a real person!

People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history papers, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even got advice on how to interact (互动) with people at a party, reported The Atlantic.

The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of difficult matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution. But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer. ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. The materials they create are difficult to distinguish (区分) from those made by humans. This causes many ethical (道德的) issues, such as the issue of copyright (版权) and the real meaning of art. Since the system is largely trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases and stereotypes (刻板印象) about certain groups. These are all the things that depend on humans to solve.

1. The writer uses “the story of the cat” as an example to ________.

A．show what creative work ChatGPT can do

B．introduce a cat that wants to go to space

C．introduce a series of bedtime books

D．show how many stories ChatGPT can create

2. ChatGPT can do the following things except ________.

A．making up human-like texts	B．singing songs to people
C．writing songs，poems and even jokes	D．producing a good article in seconds

3. The underlined word “biases” in Para.5 means “________”.

A．印象

B．傲慢

C．意见

D．偏见

4. Which is RIGHT according to the passage?

A．US company OpenAI developed ChatGPT to generate animal-like texts.

B．Nobody asked ChatGPT for help about how to interact with people at a party.

C．ChatGPT can spend seconds writing a good article about the theory of evolution.

D．ChatGPT is so perfect that there is nothing wrong with it.

5. The last paragraph is mainly about ________.

A．how people will feel about writing in the future
