①ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework.
②Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and e-mails, create recipes, translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.
③However, some schools in the US, Australia and France don’t allow the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools will ban (禁止) students and teachers if they use it.
④A part from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to stop the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to assign more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.
⑤ ▲ This comes from the worries that the tool will make it much easier for students to cheat (作弊) on their schoolwork. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread inaccurate (不准确的) information. “It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术的) and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, the secretary of the New York City Department of Education.
⑥But not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting policies (起草政策) on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to totally ban the tool so far.
⑦Bhaskar Vira, from the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not a wise thing. “We have to know that Al is a tool people will use,” he told the school newspaper of the university. “What we need to do is to change the way of learning, teaching and examing. That way, we can have integrity (诚信) while making good use of the tool”.

【推荐1】When you’re not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the light off? Did I lock the door? With a smart home, you can keep away from all of these worries.
A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices, such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring(线路), mobile phone communication or WiFi over the Internet.
More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to turn on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself. However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system allows its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers (黑客), who may secretly use or change their information in the system.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your fridge. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure — smart home technology will change the way we live and work.

Scientists have found out that the radiation（辐射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm（伤害）of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective（有效的）medicine has been found so far.
Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion（爆炸）in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,

【推荐1】A Swedish company came up with a creative and cheap way to clean up its streets: to hire (雇佣) birds. Crows, especially, have been trained to collect cigarette butts (烟头) off roadways and put them in a machine that rewards the clever birds.
The pilot project called Corvid Cleaning comes from The Keep Sweden Tidy Foundation and aims to lower the cost of street cleaning in the city of Sodertalje.
Founder (创始人) Christian Gunther-Hansen thought crows would be the best choice because they are very clever. “They are easier to teach and there is also a higher chance for them to learn from each other,” he told Swedish news agency TT. “At the same time, they have a lower risk of eating any rubbish by mistake”.
The birds are trained through a step-by-step process (过程) to pick up rubbish and place it into a machine that offers them food.
Tomas Thernstrom, a waste expert for the Sodertalje Municipality, said one of the most interesting things about the project was that crows could be taught to pick up cigarette butts but humans can’t learn not to throw them on the ground in the first place.

| B．Because crows like eating cigarette butts. |
| C．Because there are plenty of crows in Sweden. |

When the people in your family are fighting, you may be feeling sad, ashamed(羞愧的) or even angry. Whatever your feelings are, what you want most is to stop the fight.
When your parents fight, what should you do?
Remember, even people who love each other fight sometimes. That they fight doesn't mean they're going to stay mad for long or that they're going to get a divorce(离婚)．
Just think of the last time you and your brother or sister got into a fight. You didn't really mean all those things you said, did you? In the end, you probably made__up. The same goes for parents.
If you get really upset when your parents fight, you can talk to them about your feelings. Sometimes parents don't realize that their arguing makes kids feel upset. If you tell them how you feel, they'll probably try to stop or at least explain to you why they are arguing.
What will you do if you fight with your parents?
Always remember that your parents don't really want to make things difficult for you. They care about you, but sometimes it's just hard for them to see your point of view easily.
Usually, kids who fight with their parents learn to get along with them in the end. This is especially true if kids talk to their parents about how they feel and what is important to them. Keep in mind, though, that it can take time and a lot of patience. Talking to your parents about your ideas instead of arguing with them will also make them listen to you a little more closely.
1. If the people in your family are fighting, you want most to ________．| A．feel sad | B．stop the fight | C．stay mad | D．get angry |
| A．Tell them your feelings. | B．Go away and stay upset. |
| C．Fight with them together. | D．Make things difficult. |
| A．整理 | B．弥补 | C．讨好 | D．和解 |
| A．Yell at them angrily. | B．Have a talk with them. |
| C．Make them listen to you. | D．Go out from the home. |
| A．talking to your parents about your ideas is very easy |
| B．if you fight with your parents, they will never care about you |
| C．even if your parents love you, you may fight with them at times |
| D．children can learn to get along with parents by fighting |
【推荐1】If you eat junk food, you can't really expect to grow up strong and healthy. But if you eat healthy food, you may do so. So how can we know which food is healthy? Unluckily, a lot of food looks good but it isn't really good, because it contains things that are bad for both your health and the environment (环境). Where are the things from? This is all to do with how people make food: growing it on the farm, processing (加工) it in factories, storing it and making it ready for you to eat.
Here's what happens:
Most farmers use chemicals (化学品) to stop their crops from getting sick. Many of these chemicals are kept in the food you eat. Some people believe that this may make people get illnesses. The chemicals may also pollute water and air, and kill lots of animals.
Waste from farm animals brings a lot of pollution. Some of the waste gets into the water.
Planes used by people to move food and drinks around also pollute the air.
Most things that you drink, like cola, taste good, but something in them, including sugar, may be bad for your health. Sugary drinks make you fat and are bad for your teeth.
What you can do:
If you can, try and get organic (有机的) food. Organic food doesn't harm the environment. Animals kept on organic farms are treated (对待) more kindly than the ones on factory farms.
Eat fresh food whenever you can and cook at home. Don't eat out too much. Cooking can be fun!
1. The underlined word “contains” means “________”.| A．包含 | B．生长 | C．生产 | D．发送 |

It’s always a happy moment to get some pocket (口袋) money.
Make a list
When you get your pocket money, don’t get too happy and impulsive (冲动的). We all have a lot of things that we want.
Help others
Save as much as you can
