【推荐1】Sleep like a giraffe
What’s your favorite sleeping position? On your back? On your side? How about standing up? Unless you happen to be a giraffe, I’d never have thought anyone would choose the last one. But now thanks to a Japanese company, it could actually be a real competitor.
Giraffenap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy with the purpose of improving performance at work. It’s about the size of a phone booth (电话亭) and can even blocks out noise. In an introduction to the nap (小睡) box, the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed in just 20 minutes.
But why does it have to be standing? The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state in which they breathe easily. When they wake up, they can feel the influence of a nap without having to sleep too much. And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy (头晕目眩的). Also, making the box stand upright means that it can save much floor space.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? Of course not. Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀), legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms, legs and head in the box while still remaining upright.
Giraffenap has been made in two different styles—an extremely modern and unusual one named “Spacia” and a wood-covered one named “Forest”. They have been on sale in January 2024, so I hope one day you’ll pick your favorite design and try sleeping standing up—just like giraffes do.
1. What is the main purpose of Giraffenap?
| A．To encourage people to protect wild animals. |
| B．To prevent people from feeling dizzy after taking a nap. |
| C．To let people know giraffes’ ability of napping while standing. |
| D．To improve people’s performance at work after a quick standing nap. |
| A．It enables users to save much money. | B．It prevents users from falling out of bed. |
| C．It allows users to reach a deeper sleep state. | D．It helps users breathe more easily during the nap. |
| A．By explaining how the box supports the body parts. |
| B．By recommending a new way of keeping safe for users. |
| C．By suggesting that falling down is common inside the box. |
| D．By comparing the box with other traditional napping methods. |
| A．Doubtful. | B．Supportive. | C．Unclear. | D．Negative. |
【推荐2】Should we put every job in the hands of machines? Should we develop non-human minds that might finally become smarter than humans and finally replace us? Should we risk losing control of our own future? These questions were asked by many scientists last month in a science meeting.
In most people’s mind, the rapid development of AI is of great help to humans. For example, AI has helped humans develop new medicine and design new materials to help with climate change.
When ChatGPT, a program developed by OpenAI, was first open to the public, a million people used it within a week, and the number rapidly rose to 100 million within two months. It was widely used to do things like writing articles and creating speech articles.
However, some people are starting to worry. Will AI go against humans one day? Will AI take our place and all the people lose their jobs? Will bad people use AI to harm others?
These worries make scientists stop developing AI and start to think about how we can make better use of this technology. Most of them agree that laws should be made to make sure that AI is used in a safe way.
Many governments are already taking action, though differently. For example, the UK, as well as the US, opens its arms for AI without any rules other than present ones because it regards it as a huge market. But Germany is more careful. It puts uses of AI in different areas into different levels of risk. Uses in some areas are not allowed, and companies that break the rules will be punished.
Making laws is the governments’ duty. For us common people, it may be more important to think about what we can do in order to work better with AI.

【推荐1】When Ben was 4 years old, he loved to play Batman (超人) and fly all over the house. One night, when he tried to “fly” from one end of his bed to the other, he fell down on the floor and hurt his arms. His mom put ice on his arms. “Batman,” she said, “we’re going to the emergency room (急诊室).”
When someone was hurt, the best place to go is the nearest hospital emergency room. Also called the ER, it is open 24 hours a day.
When you go into an ER, you should wait for a moment. When it’s your turn, someone will guide you to an examining (检查) room. The doctor will talk to you about your medical problem and examine you. Then the doctor will decide what to do next. For Ben, he needed an X-ray (X光) first. It showed he had a broken arm.
Most kids go home after the doctor knows what the medical problem is and decides how to treat it. And the ER doctor might tell you to “follow up” with your doctor. This means you should do less exercise, rest well and visit your doctor soon so that he can see if you’re doing better and answer questions you may have.
