5 . College and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT, an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts. It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all. If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks, why spend so much time learning writing in school?
In fact, learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. It involves much more. For one thing, it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning — a skill that is useful for everyone, not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work.
Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your words. It puts you in relation to someone you may not know, someone who may even not exist. When you learn to write, you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context. Even ordinary assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects.
Writing is never simply self-expression. It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose. In some cases, like a love letter, a writer knows their audience very well. In others, the audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are. Writers, then, should give up trying to address the public at large, but should imagine that a friend, though not the closest friend, is listening to our talk.
When this act of imagination is done well, a reader can feel deeply understood, as if a stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves. That’s how I felt reading “Difference Maker” — an essay about parenthood. While our situations were unique, naming the problem provided a deeper understanding.
It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the writing tasks that students learn in school. But we can’t allow ourselves to lose the capacity to empathize (共情) with distant strangers at just the moment when we’re more able than ever to communicate with them.

6 . How to Do Well in Science Class
Doing well in science depends on developing useful study skills and learning to participate (参与) in class.
Read the required material. When your teacher requires reading from a textbook or a website, take time to read it before you come to class. If you don’t have time to read it well, it’s a good idea to look quickly at it so that you have an idea of what it’s about.
Take clear and organized notes. The notes you take in class will help you know what to study between classes.
Reread your notes after class. If there’s anything in your notes that confuses you, or which you feel might be wrong, check with your teacher or a classmate to ensure you have the right information.
| A．Be prepared for the laboratory experiment. |

| E．Rereading can help you to rewrite your notes in a better way. |
| F．Don’t try to write down everything that the teacher says. |
| G．It also helps you be prepared to answer questions and have discussions. |
7 . Students at a university in Anhui Province will probably not receive their diplomas (毕业文凭) if they fail a fitness test.
However, it is not a one-time test like gaokao. Students who fail the tests of graduation will be given another chance. He can take the test for a second time.
Do you think it is the only university doing so? No! If students want to enter Tsinghua University, they also have to be able to swim.
Tsinghua University will ask the students to learn swimming and will organize a swimming test for all new students in September. If students fail to swim as long as at least 50 metres, they will have to take the swimming course throughout their studies. And of course, students are also reminded to learn and practise swimming safely. They will be able to swim by the time they graduate, or the university won’t give them diplomas.
| A．Or they will prepare to learn swimming. |
| B．But they must do a warm-up before the test. |
| C．University students are encouraged to do more exercise after class. |
| D．It does no harm to people at all and is the correct sport for students. |
| E．And if they fail again, they will have to take the test even after graduation. |
| F．Although swimming is an overall activity, it may cause some problems. |
| G．The test has running, standing long jump and some other sports activities. |
8 . If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade. Even though revising things you already learned might seem boring, you’ll feel a lot more comfortable with the material.
Study in 1-hour blocks.
Keep your study time shorter so you don’t get tired. Set aside (留出) an hour for each of your subjects so you have time to revise them.
Step away for a few minutes every hour so you don’t feel overworked. Since studying takes up a lot of energy and brainpower, schedule in 5-10 minutes every hour where you just relax. Avoid working through the breaks.

9 . Tips for Keeping Awake in Class
If you want to keep awake during class, sleep the night before your class. Students who doze (打瞌睡) in class often missed sleep the night before. Getting enough sleep is your first line of defense when it comes to staying awake in class.
Another way is to take a shower before class.
| A．Having a warm meal also works. |
| B．This will increase your oxygen intake. |
| C．Read your favourite books before sleep. |
