1 . Long long ago, there was a man and his wife who worked for a wise man. One day, the wise man pointed to a big box in his living room and said, “There’s only one thing you mustn’t do: Don’t open the __________.” After saying this, he left home.   

The woman said to her husband, “There must be __________ expensive in the box. Let’s open it, shall we?” Her husband didn’t want to __________ it, but the woman wouldn’t give up.

A few days later, the woman made a decision to find out what was in the box. Before her husband could stop her, she opened the box and __________ it, expecting something expensive in it. However, there was nothing in the box. She was very __________. She tried hard to close the box, __________ she couldn’t do that.

That evening, the wise man __________ back. When he got home, he found that the box was open. He was very angry and he asked the woman and her __________ to leave his home at once. “But there was nothing __________ the box,” the woman said. “We haven’t taken anything at all.” The wise man shouted, “The box is not important. Now I know that I can’t believe in you. That’s what is __________!”

4 . ChatGPT has quickly become popular around the world because of its advanced conversational abilities. It can answer questions, do translations, give the main idea of articles and even write codes (代码) for a computer program. It is as good as a human inside a computer.

ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when people hand it some articles and it makes a well-made report. That could, however, mean job losses. After all, if a computer program can write codes, then it would make a programmer lose his job.

That may be a worry, but it is still too early to worry about that. ChatGPT has more advanced learning features, but it still follows the same technological way. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to turn words into a language from an ocean of data, but it's still not that creative. AI can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures that it has seen. It can also write books about the future, but the books will be based on articles about the future that it has read.

In comparison, a human brain imagines the future and then tries hard to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can't imagine a world of space as humans can.

So there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of chances for humans to win over AI.
