1 . 阅读下面的访谈材料，将记者提问的五个问题与音乐家Jake的答复A—E进行匹配。

1     How did you begin playing?     2     Was there a time when music helped you?     3     What don’t many people know about you?     4     What do you love about making music?     5     What’s your advice for kids?

A. Listening to music is great, but it is creative to make your own music. As you do it, you use your body and your mind at the same time. B. Only my friends know that I was very, very shy before I was a teenager. Even in high school, performing in front of crowds, I refused to use a microphone (麦克风) because I didn’t want to talk into it. I’d stay in the background while everybody was in front, singing. C. I think we should be thankful and kind. And having a passion (热情) in life is so important. When you find something you love doing and want to become better at it, remember these three things: 1. Study. 2. Practice. 3. Make healthy choices. D. My mom taught me to play the ukulele (一种四弦乐器) when I was four. I would play all the time. Sometimes my parents had to take it away from me so I would do homework or eat dinner! E. Relations between my parents became difficult when I was in the fifth grade. It was hard to deal with those feelings. Music was good for me because I could put my feelings into the music. You have to have a way to control your feelings. But the most important thing is to have someone you can talk to.

John: Hello, ChatGPT! I’m John. What can you do to help people? For example, improve their English?
ChatGPT: As an AI(人工智能) language model, I can do many things to help people improve their English. I can offer advice on grammar and vocabulary, help with pronunciation and provide feedback(反馈) on written or spoken English. What’s more, I can take part in conversation with people in English which can help them practice their language skills interestingly and naturally. Would you like me to help you with any problems of your English?
John: No, not at the moment. That sounds even more powerful than some English teachers. So do you think you’ll replace(替代) some human beings in some areas, such as English teachers, news reporters or people who do customer service work?
ChatGPT: No. I don’t think I can replace them completely. Though I can provide useful help in many areas, I am still a machine and there are things only human beings can do. English teaching, news reporting and serving are far more than skills. They are also about feelings, thoughts, cultures and so on. However, I believe that I can be a valuable tool to support and improve the work of human beings in these fields. By working together, better results can be achieved to those we serve.
John: Great. I like your ideas. So my next question is, what advice would you give to human beings in order to be better prepared for the future?
ChatGPT: Good question, John. Here are a few pieces of advice for people to think about. First, develop thinking ability. In a word, instead of copying others’ ideas, you should have your own thoughts. Next, learn to work together with machines. Don’t be afraid of AI, it’s important to know how to work together with machines to improve your own abilities. Then, develop skills only human beings have, like creativity, and empathy(共情). Fourth, keep learning and changing. The world is changing fast and it’s important to stay up to date with the latest development s in technology and other fields. I hope these tips are helpful, John.
