【推荐2】①In the past ten years, AI-driving（人工智能驾驶）has achieved an important milestone in development（发展）. The first AI-driving bus went on a road test in Shenzhen in 2017. Changsha became the first city in China to use AI-driving taxis in 2020. And now, you can even take an AI-driving taxi in Chongqing.
②In an AI-driving car, AI plays the driver’s role. A special tool is put at the front and sides of the car to get information from the road, and then send it to the central part to make decisions and drive the car.
③AI could be a “better driver” than humans because its reaction（反应）time is much shorter than humans’. Also, unlike humans, AI never gets tired after long-time driving so there is no fear（担心）of this problem. Besides, when two humans drive too close on a road and one has to slow down to avoid（避免）an accident, both would like the other to do so, and this is a big problem because they cannot talk to each other. However, that problem will not happen to two AI-driving cars because they could “talk” through the cloud and decide which one should slow down.
④However, there are more unknown things on real roads. For example, there is a chance that bad people may get into the car and drive it fast.
⑤The biggest problem for AI is not about learning to remember road signs, but about whether（是否）it can have a good reaction in sudden and unexpected situations（突发情况）. People still worry about some safety problems that we didn’t even think about, but after more road tests, it is going to do better.
⑥Although there are still some problems that need to be solved, we can already see AI-driving cars on the road. We believe they are going to be widely used one day. We can just keep waiting and hope to meet them in the near future.
1. AI could be a better driver than humans because it ________.①can react in a shorter time ②has fear of nothing
③never gets tired ④can drive better in unexpected situations
⑤can “talk” through the cloud to avoid accidents
| A．①②③ | B．①③⑤ | C．①④⑤ | D．②③④ |
| A．Changsha is the first city in China to test the AI-driving bus on the road. |
| B．AI never gets tired after long-time driving but people do. |
| C．Bad people can easily get into an AI-driving car and drive fast. |
| D．The AI-driving car may not react well if it meets a horse crossing the road. |
| A．To ask people to buy AI-driving cars in the future. |
| B．To tell people the use of AI in driving cars. |
| C．To show that AI-driving cars have a bright future. |
| D．To find out the danger of AI-driving cars on real roads. |

【推荐3】Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express (表达) yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree (有分歧) on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

【推荐1】Shenzhou XV astronauts have been flying with the Tiangong space station for more than two months. They have carried out their first spacewalk.
On February 9 Thursday, Fei Junlong and ZhangLu finished a seven—hour space walk. They returned to the station the next morning. At that time, the third, Deng Qingming stayed inside to provide（提供）service and some work. During it, Fei and Zhang finished several tasks（任务）. This was the first space walk since the station started work at the end of 2022.
What’s more, they have started to install equipment（安装设备）outside the station. It’s reported that Fei and Zhang made a lot of movements（动作）around all the stations’ three main parts during the space walk. In fact, it’s also a kind of danger, because they might face many risks.
This was the first spacewalk for Fei and Zhang. It asked them to make many moves while wearing heavy space clothes. Although it was never easy, they were very glad to finish it successfully.
1. When did Fei and Zhang get back into the space station?| A．On Wednesday. | B．On Thursday. | C．On Friday. | D．On Saturday. |
| A．Space walk. | B．Service. | C．Work. | D．Space station. |

【推荐2】On Dec. 9, three Chinese astronauts gave a science lecture 400 kilometers above Earth! Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu who are working aboard the Tiangong space station, showed our students a glimpse of their life there. They also did some fun science experiments. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Use it or lose it
The human body grows with the pull of Earth’s gravity（重力）. But in space, our bones and muscles（肌肉） don’t need to support our body’s weight. This will cause bone and muscle loss. It’s reported that astronauts can lose up to 20% of their muscles after just a couple of weeks. That is dangerous for astronauts because they will be too weak to work.
Astronauts have different ways to prevent this. During the lecture, Zhai introduced a special uniform Ye was wearing. It’s called a “penguin suit”. There are many elastic bands（弹力带） inside the suit. Wearing it, astronauts use their muscles to stretch（拉伸） the bands. This keeps their muscles strong. Wang also showed students how she walked on a treadmill（跑步机） and rode a bicycle. Astronauts exercise with these tools every day to prevent muscle loss.
Space water is different
Water in space acts differently from water on Earth in other ways. For example, water will not flow（流动） downward if you try to pour it into a cup. That’s why astronauts usually drink water through straws（吸管） in sealed（密封的）bags. If astronauts cry, the tears will stay on their eyeballs instead of falling down. They have to wipe（擦拭） them away！
During another experiment, Wang made a water film（膜）. Then she added more water drops onto the film to make it a water ball. This can never happen on Earth.

【推荐3】Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard(搭乘) the Shenzhou XIII on October 16th, 2021.
The 4-year-old Wang became the first female(女性的) astronaut to enter Tiangong space station. During their six-month stay, Wang, with her two partners, will do experiments(实验) and set up robotic arms. Wang will also do the first spacewalk by a Chinese woman.
Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?” In order to achieve her dream, Wang pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men. “The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning(旋转的) machine,” said Wang. “If you can’t bear(承受) it, you can press it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.”
That strong spirit(精神) finally made her dream come true. Retired(退役) NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman sent a greeting to Wang before the Shenzhou XII trip. Coleman said, “When you look out the window and see the stars and the Earth, billions of women will be looking out that window with you.”
Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big.
