1 . Teachers worried about students turning in essays written by a popular artificial intelligence chatbot now have a new tool of their own.
Edward Tian, a computer science major at Princeton University, has built an App called GPTZero to detect whether a text is written by Chat GPT, which is a popular chatbot that has caused fears over its possibility for immoral uses in American academic circles. His motivation to create the computer program was to fight what he sees as an increase in AI plagiarism (剽窃). Since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, there have been reports of students using the language model to pass off AI-written assignments as their own. Many teachers have reached out to him after he released GPTZero, telling him about the positive results they’ve seen from testing it.
To determine whether an essay is written by a computer program, GPTZero uses two indicators: “confusion” and “burstiness (突发性)”. The first indicator measures the complexity of text; if GPTZero is confused by the text, then it has a high complexity and it’s more likely to be human-written. However, if the text is more familiar to GPTZero — because it’s been trained on such data — then it will have low complexity and therefore is more likely to be AI-generated. Besides, the second indicator compares the variations of sentences. Humans tend to write with greater burstiness, for example, with some longer or complex sentences alongside shorter ones. AI sentences tend to be more uniform.
In a demonstration video, Tian compared the App’s analysis of a story in The New Yorker and a Linked In post written by ChatGPT. It successfully distinguished writing between human and AI. However, GPTZero isn’t foolproof, as some users have reported when putting it to the test. He said he’s still working to improve the model’s accuracy.
Tian is not opposed to the use of AI tools like ChatGPT. GPTZero is “not meant to be a tool to stop these technologies from being used,” he said. “But with any new technologies, we need to be able to adopt it responsibly and we need to have protections.”

2 . In a world where technology is king, hardly does a day go by without the launch of some “world-changing” product in the field of alternate reality.
Many people confuse augmented reality (AR) with virtual reality (VR) and understandably so. Both AR and VR offer alternate or altered reality experiences and as a result, it is easy for users to be attracted and wonder what is real and what is not.
However, AR and VR can be quite different in many ways.
AR, however, does not change the entire landscape of what users see. In fact, it adds to reality with digital images. While AR may be less immersive than VR, the success of games which use AR is proof that it can be just as or even more entertaining than VR games.
VR and AR are both powerful technologies which are still relatively new to many consumers.
A.VR can be interactive or non-interactive. |
B.The main difference lies in the mode of delivery. |
C.In short, at the heart of VR and AR are two very similar technologies. |
D.However, they have already begun to shake things up in the gaming world. |
E.They would see computer made images as an overlay to what they see in real life. |
F.Moreover, since AR does not require the use of goggles or helmets, it is more accessible. |
G.It is also getting increasingly difficult to keep up with the “R” s that have come into existence. |
6 . “Man is by nature a social animal,” the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote more than 2,000years ago. From the time you enter this world, you start communicating. Your first cry is your first attempt at verbal (口头的) communication. And as you start growing, you find newer ways of communication. You learn to form words and sentences to communicate.
Verbal communication means effectively presenting your thoughts verbally.
Verbal communication is a broad topic. There are various elements that help us organize our thoughts around it. They include the tone, speed, and volume of your speech.
A variety of challenges may arise in verbal communication. Although difficulties with verbal communication can’t be entirely avoided, it is possible to increase your chances of communicating successfully. Consider the message you wish to communicate before speaking and communicate with respect for the recipient’s point of view.
A.Pay attention to what you say and how you say it. |
B.Its relevant skills are essential in the world of business. |
C.Verbal communication can be classified into two main types. |
D.This is the beginning of the real sense of verbal communication. |
E.Language barriers are a major cause of confusion in verbal communication. |
F.Everyone has a unique style of communicating and understanding messages. |
G.Additionally, grammar and vocabulary are critical aspects of verbal communication. |
My best friend, Cocoa, and I live in a senior-citizen apartment complex in a lovely small town. Cocoa is a ten-year-old poodle(卷毛狗) and I am a sixty-nine-year-old lady, so you can see we both qualify as senior citizens.
Years ago, I promised myself that when I retired I would get a chocolate poodle to share my golden years. From the very beginning, Cocoa has always been exceptionally well-behaved. I never have to tell him anything more than once. He is extremely neat—when taking toys from his box to play, he always puts them back when he is finished. I have been accused of being obsessively neat, and sometimes I wonder if he mimics me or if he was born that way, too.
He is a wonderful companion. When I throw a ball for him, he picks it up in his mouth and gives it back to me. He does many amusing things that make me laugh, and when that happens, he is so delighted that he just keeps it up. I enjoy his company very much.
But almost two years ago, Cocoa did something that challenged comprehension. Was it a miracle or a coincidence? It is certainly a mystery.
One afternoon, Cocoa started acting strangely. I was sitting on the floor playing with him when he started pawing and sniffing at the right side of my chest. He had never done anything like this before, and I told him, “No.” Usually, one “no” is sufficient, but not that day. He stopped briefly, then suddenly ran toward me from the other side of the room, throwing his entire weight—eighteen pounds—at the right side of my chest. He crashed into me and I yelled in pain. It hurt more than I thought it would have.
Soon after this, I felt a lump (肿瘤). I went to the doctors, and after X-rays, tests and lab work were done, they told me I had cancer.

Grandma was not a writer, but she did write books. She not only wrote them but also illustrated them with beautiful pictures. The handwritten pages were carefully bound together with thread. The books were not intended to be published. They were specially written for her grandchildren. We refer to the books as the rabbit series. For me, it’s Rabbit Abbey and for my younger brother and younger sister Rabbit Tony and Rabbit Candy.
My first rabbit book was Rabbit Abbey Went to Kindergarten, which Grandma read to me while pointing to the illustrations when I was three years old. I was too young to remember everything clearly so I reread it when I was older to remember the content of the book and understand how it helped to get me prepared to r kindergarten and adapt to it. Mom said I was the only kid who didn’t try on the first day of kindergarten. I seemed to have enjoyed myself and I even tried to comfort other kids.
As I grew older, I read Grandma’s Rabbit Abbey Went to Primary School, Rabbit Abbey Went to Junior High and Rabbit Abbey Went to Senior High, all of which looked like children’s books but I always expected a Rabbit Abbey book before I stepped into a new stage of my life. It was about preparation to adapt but it became more of a sense of ceremony as I grew up.
At Senior High, I had great academic performance and was determined to go to college after graduation. I guessed Grandma in us I have started her Rabbit Abbey Went to College and wondered that it would be like. Would Rabbit Abbey make great friends? Would he fall in love? Or...
