1 . ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-driven chatbot (聊天机器人) programme that responds to user prompts, has gone viral in social networks in recent weeks. Its ___________ is such that within days of its launch, OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind the chatbot, announced that 1 million people had used. In comparison, Facebook and Spotify took months to achieve that ___________of engagement (受人关注) . The attraction is obvious: ChatGPT can produce jokes, essays and computer code from a short writing prompt.

There’s nothing ___________ in software that produces fluent and logical writing. ChatGPT’s predecessor (前身), the Generative Pretrained Transformer 3 (GPT-3), could do that too. Both were trained on an unimaginably large amount of data to answer questions in a/an ___________ way. But ChatGPT has been updated by being given the data on human “conversations”, which significantly ___________ the truthfulness and informativeness(信息准确性) of its answers.

___________, ChatGPT still produces answers that seem reasonable but are incorrect or nonsensical (无意义的). Even the chatbot itself says, “My responses are not intended to be considered as ___________.” This might be a big problem on the Internet, as many web platforms (平台) ___________ the ability to protect themselves against a flood of AI-generated content (AI生成的内容). Such websites as Stack Overflow, where users can find answers to programming-related questions, had to ban ChatGPT-produced posts, as its human moderators (管理员) could not ___________ the volume (大量) of incredible but wrong replies. It is ______________ to give out tools that could be used to produce fake news and messages.

Using ChatGPT too much raises the question of whether content produced by it can be truly trusted. A human author is ______________ their own work but AI is not. Artificial intelligence is not artificial ______________: ChatGPT does not know what it is doing; it is unable to say how or why it produced a response; it doesn’t have human experience, and cannot tell if it is ______________. While OpenAI has safeguards to refuse inappropriate requests, such as to tell users how to commit crimes (犯罪), these can be bypassed. AI’s potential for harm should not be ______________. In the wrong hands, it could be a weapon to harm people and society.

No one knows what will happen to such technologies if the software engineers of the future will themselves be software programs. “Human supervision (监督) and ______________ are required,” OpenAI’s researchers have warned.

2 . When colds and flu hit, many people automatically turn to over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to push through and treat their symptoms. Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, 26,735 people went to the emergency room for adverse (不利的) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines.

When two or more drugs are used together, their interactions can sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects. Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use.

It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses (剂量重复). Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients. A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient.

While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold and flu medicines, some groups — including older adults, children and pregnant women — may be at greater risk. Older people who are using prescribed drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions. The aging body is not as expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines.

The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicines to children under age 4. Because of a variety of factors, young children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death.

4 . “Oh, no! You’re moving?” Such was my neighbor’s concern when she saw household items appearing on my lawn (草坪) and __________ my driveway.

“Nope. Just cleaning house!” I called back, smiling.

This yard sale had been the result of six months of __________ . I had searched every __________ and overflowing closet and cupboard — crazy about my seeking to find items to sell.

I met loads of __________ and friendly people. The Mirror Lady was thrilled to buy the antique mirror from my first apartment for her daughter’s first apartment; and the Futon Girl, a college sophomore, said my futon (沙发床) and frame were __________ for her dorm room.

And how can I __________ the Camera Man? Bending absorbedly over the “technology” table, he spotted my husband’s faded camera bag from the early 80s. Zippered compartments (隔包) __________ a broken camera and a few old lenses (镜头). “Wow!” he said, as he picked it up and made me a(n) __________ . I asked what he was going to do with it. “It’s just cool — I have a shelf at home for cool fashionable technology.” So __________ he bought it so he could look at it. As he walked down the driveway with the dusty bag ____________ over his shoulder, for a second I ____________ my journalist husband doing the same, heading out to ____________ a story. That made me feel ____________.

All yard sales lasted two days. As hard as it can be to let things ____________ , the true value of those things is to ____________ you of a place you lived in, a special time in your life, or a loved one in your heart.

5 . On today’s blog post, I’ll talk about my favorite magazines. I love reading books and magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about health y living, daily life, etc.

Women’s Health

Women’s Health has a unique content. You can find various interesting information about healthy living or exercises you can do at home. I also love their writers because they explain every topic so simply that you can even understand biological articles.

Healthy Food Guide

I totally recommend it to everyone because it has lots of useful information about being healthy during your daily life. In this magazine, you can find articles about foods you often eat but don’t have much idea what they contain or if they’re healthy. If you are searching for new diets, this magazine gives you all the information.

Time Out

Time Out is a well-known magazine and it’s free in my city. Every time I see a Time Out magazine, I get it because it has lots of useful tips. I got Time Out London when I was in London, and I discovered new restaurants, galleries, museums and events. This magazine has various information about the city life. For example, it gives you the events that are happening near you. It gives you tips for the railway stations and other transportation choices.

La Cucina Italiana

If you love cooking Italian food, this magazine is for you! It has lots of recipes and also restaurant reviews. You can also find popular restaurants near you in this magazine. I’ve also read articles by famous chefs from my city.

6 . The village super league, or “Cun Chao” in Chinese, is a soccer game among different villages in Rongjiang County, Southwest China’s Guizhou Province, and it is so down-to-earth but popular that it has attracted not only the attention of football legend Michael Owen, but also millions of Chinese netizens (网民), who are paying attention to this non-professional football league.

The players come from a variety of backgrounds. They are vendors, drivers, students, carpenters, tilers, former butchers and brick factory workers. Their ages range from 15 to over 40 years old. At the game site, representatives wearing various traditional national costumes play national musical. instruments and enter the arena (竞技场) with the players, and perform songs and dances.

“This kind of football game is natural and with ‘pureness’ and it is driven by the enthusiasm of the ordinary people not the economic benefits. The game is providing not only values of sports, but also a way of socialising with low costs,” an expert noted. “This kind of atmosphere is very rarely seen and is treasured, especially for people in urban areas who are getting increasingly busy and under great work pressure, and when they look at the fun, relaxing and down-to-earth way of life in the countryside, they will naturally be interested,” experts said. There is at least one good impact brought by “Cun Chao” to Chinese soccer—to make more people see the pureness of joy brought by the sport and encourage them to play soccer.

Today, more and more grassroots sports events are held in the mountains and are using sports as a medium to showcase the unique charm of the local area, reflecting a vibrant lifestyle filled with agricultural activities and rural fun.

9 . In the United States, most of our electricity comes from power plants(发电厂) that burn coal and oil.

There are two big problems with using these things for electricity. First. their supply is limited(有限的). Second, burning them causes pollution. So to make sure we always have power and to keep our planet clean, we must find other ways to make electricity.

Some people think that wind power is our best choice. First, there will always be more wind. Also, wind power does not pollute the environment. Best of all, we don’t have to search for wind.

Today, less than 1 percent of our electricity comes from wind. But scientists have been developing better wind machines. As a result, wind power is getting more popular in this country.

Yet wind power may not keep growing so quickly in years to come. Why not? Many wind turbines(风力涡轮机)are needed to make much electricity. So wind-power companies try to build wind farms but are competing(竞争)with other uses for the land. A wind farm is a group of turbines placed close together in an area with frequent winds.

In places where companies try to build wind farms, people think that lines of turbines are ugly. Noise from turbines often troubles people. Also, turbines kill birds that fly into them.

Wind-power supporters disagree. They think the sight of wind turbines is lovely. They point out that people have gotten used to living near noisy highways. They say ways can be found to keep birds away from turbines.

In today’s world, we need clean and unlimited power sources more than ever. Unless a better power source comes along, people may just have to accept wind power as a part of their lives.

10 . About a year ago, my department invited me to submit a 5-minute video clip about my research laboratory to be screened at a secondary-school summer camp. With many ________ under my belt (已获得的) after five years as a main investigator, I was quite ________ about getting this ________.

Three seconds into ________ myself on my phone in my office, I realized that I had been too ________. I had to press ‘Pause’ ________ I couldn’t help looking around the room.

Admitting that my acting career had ________ a wall, I decided to ________ to a directing role and asked my graduate students to help me to film and present the video.

The 5-minute clip ________ taking 2 hours to finish, but it was so well received by the audience that it ________ me to create an account on Bilibili, one of the leading video-sharing websites in China. I got my lab to ________ making short films in Chinese on the main topics of our ________, which include digital fabrication (数字制造) in architecture and adaptive structures that can respond to stimuli (刺激物).
