3 . 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.

1. What is teachers’ concern about ChatGPT?

A．It’s a challenge to apply it to teaching.	B．It’s hard to grade a paper written by it.
C．It limits students’ imagination and creativity.	D．It questions the necessity of teaching writing.

2. What does the author think of learning to write?

A．It helps with logical thinking.	B．It is a basic skill for everyone.
C．It focuses on correct expression.	D．It is closely related to social skills.

3. What makes writing effective according to the text?

A．Expressing oneself.	B．Targeting intended readers.
C．Conveying imaginative ideas.	D．Creating attractive characters.

4. What may be a suitable title for the text?

A．What AI Can’t Teach the Writing Students	B．ChatGPT Writing VS Traditional Writing
C．Never Lose the Capacity for Empathy	D．What Is the Future for AI Writing

4 . Students at a university in Anhui Province will probably not receive their diplomas (毕业文凭) if they fail a fitness test.     1     This rule has caused hot discussion. According to the plan, the new rule will come into force soon. And if students fail to pass the fitness tests, they won’t get their diplomas.

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.     2

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.

    4     But some just stay in the classroom all day long. Few students take exercise even if they are free. They need to do some exercise to keep themselves healthy. Swimming is also a survival skill.     5     Any student who wants to enter Tsinghua University, remember, swimming is your necessary skill.

5 . 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.    1    

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.    2     In this way, you don’t get information mixed up between classes.

    3    

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.

Schedule time to study every day.

Try to set aside a regular time to go over notes for class.    4     So, you’re able to focus a little better. If you can, try to plan the same time every day so you can get into a regular routine (惯例).

6 . Here are five common mistakes distance learners make.

Choosing the wrong school.     1     “Diploma mill” schools charge unsuspecting students thousands of dollars for worthless degrees, whereas trustworthy schools are able to give their students diploma they are proud of. Before you enroll in an online school, do some research to find out what type of program, resource and support will be provided.

Putting off things. Many students never finish their degrees because they lack the self-discipline and motivation to sit down and get their work done on a daily basis.     2     Many students have found it beneficial to create a deadline for receiving their degrees and set small monthly, weekly, and daily goals that will allow them to reach that deadline.

Failing to connect with their peers and professors.     3     Building meaningful relationships with your peers and professors can allow you to learn more, stay motivated, and have a way to express your own understanding of the subject matter. So stay connected through message boards, chat rooms, email, and other virtual resources.

Scaring potential employers. More and more people are recognizing the validity (有效性) of online education.     4     Some potential employers may see warning signs if you announce that you have earned your degree through the Internet. Even if you attend a famous school, avoid calling attention to the fact that your studies are done online.

    5     There’s a lot of online material available to help out students. Make sure you know where you can get the help you need. Be aware of the general resources such as virtual dictionaries, online books, and resources that relate to your specialized subject matter.

A．Paying too much.

B．Paying no attention to online resources.

C．However, be aware that it is not completely accepted by all people.

D．Many students attend an online course feeling as if it is very easy.

E．Selecting the right school is the biggest difficulty that distance learners face.

F．If you often put off your work, set some specific goals for yourself and stick to them.

G．One of the most rewarding experiences in education is learning through teamwork.

7 . Lifelong learning and the Future of Work: Challenges and Opportunities

Our world is undergoing dramatic and transformative change technological, organizational, and climatic presenting new challenges to the future of work. These global trends are having a significant impact on skills.    1    . That is because skills acquired today may quickly become obsolete (淘汰的).

The concept of lifelong learning has been around for decades and the ILO (International Labour Organization) has adopted numerous normative instruments and policies related to lifelong learning.    2    . In the old days, we could say let’s go to school, get qualified for a job, enter the labour market and that’s the job of learning done. Now, people need to learn how to learn because learning is going to be a feature of the transitions they are going to go through throughout their lives.

Lifelong learning affects us all.     3     , from early childhood and basic education to adult learning and upskilling to take advantage of change. It is a global concept applying to developed and developing economies. And it requires the active engagement and support of governments, employers and workers.

    4    ? There’s no one size fits all strategy. But there are things we can do. Develop foundational and core work skills. Improve vocational guidance and labour market data. Recognize both formal and informal skills learning. Improve coordination and ensure equitable (公平的) access to learning.

Ultimately, lifelong learning is the key for people to be able to benefit from new ways of working.    5    .

A．Do I need to be active in lifelong learning

B．Many of today’s skills won’t match tomorrow’s jobs

C．How do we adapt lifelong learning to our new reality

D．It is central to managing the transitions we face over the life cycle

E．And it will light the path on our journey to a brighter future at work

F．It is easy to say that people need to keep learning throughout their careers

G．But the transformative change happening now is reshaping its definitions and giving it new importance

10 . I’m Li Ying. I like to set goals for myself. I’m a “go-getter” — when I set out to do something, I do my best to achieve it.

Senior secondary school is a new start. Studying is definitely a big part of my life. I tend to set a goal for every subject at the beginning of each term. My aim is to do well in every subject this term. Biology is my favorite subject, and my target is to prepare myself for my degree in biology at university. I am always attentive in all classes and think actively, so that I can have more free time to do other things that I am interested in after school.

I like reading books of all kinds. I have a top 10 reading list and I try to keep it updated. Meanwhile, I’m an active member of my school’s long-distance running team and volunteering club. It always makes me excited to work hard and achieve a team goal together.

To achieve all I want, I must use my time well. At school, I do my homework when I have spare time. After school, I try to use any possible time to revise the things I have learnt during the day. For example, it usually takes me 20 minutes to get home by bus. I often use the time to review English words. As the popular saying goes, “Every minute counts!”

Set a goal and get ahead!
