Celebrate Farming with LEAF Open Farm Sunday 2023

How many people have passed your farm, seen your pigs and wondered what happens behind the farm gate? There is a genuine interest across society to learn about where food comes from, what the work farmers do and how the countryside is managed.

To be honest. I’ve been missing the online shopping experience in China since I moved to the US four years ago. So when I noticed Shein becoming mainstream in the US over the past few years, I though, Great! I finally have a Taohao replacement! So I went on my first Shein journey in August 2022.

But somewhere along the way, I started questioning why I enjoy this particular kind of shopping, and also what it means for an e-commerce platform to offer endless deals.

To be fair, there are Shein purchases that I’ve really enjoyed, like a $2 nylon watchband that feels better than my original Apple Watch band. I also think people should be able to choose quantity and price over quality, because the idea of demanding that people only buy premium products feels unrealistic.

But as it turns out, I’ve finally started to see through the illusion (错觉) of Shein-like platforms. To get these occasional incredible deals, you are encouraged to shop much more than is necessary or even reasonable. This illusion has worked for a long time and for a lot of people, including me! But it’s become harder and harder to ignore the environmental consequences of my purchases, and the ways in which platforms trick people into buying more and more.

And I don’t think I’m the only one experiencing that awakening. Broadly speaking, I think society is slowly but surely shifting toward recognizing the climate impact of mass-produced cheap goods. While these conversations have yet to happen as widely and furiously in China, companies like Taobao and Shein will inevitably have to answer the question of whether their business model is sustainable for everyone—or only for themselves. So where are they beading from here? There’s certainly a lot of soul-searching for the industry to do.

And I’m doing some soul-searching of my own.

24. Why does the author mention a “$2 nylon watchband”?

A. To compare it with her original band.

B. To persuade readers to buy it.

C. To show her satisfaction with Shein.

D. To show its cheapness.

25. What does the underlined word “premium” mean in the third paragraph?

A. High-quantity. B. Expensive.

C. High-quality. D. Original.

26. What do the customers tend to do with the illusion of Shein-like platforms?

A. They get incredible products on sale.

B. They often buy much more than what they need.

C. They ignore the environmental impacts.

D. They are tricked into buying more and more reasonable products.

27. What is a consequence of endless deals in e-commerce platforms?

A. Environmental harm. B. Price reduction.

C. Energy shortage. D. Worldwide starvation.

The memory of elephants is the stuff of lore (传说), and now it seems they can recall the smell of a relative even after a decade apart.

When Franziska Hörner at the University of Wuppertal in Germany and her colleagues heard about planned reunions between two mother-daughter pairs at zoos in Germany, the took advantage of the chance to test the elephants’ memories. One pair had been separated for two years, while the other had spent 12 years apart.

Hörner collected faecal (排泄物的) samples from these African elephants and others at German zoos, hauling the stinking 10-to-15-kilogram samples around in her tiny car.

Her team presented these samples one at a time to the four elephants in advance of their reunions with family members. When they encountered faeces from unrelated elephants, cither those in the same zoo or unfamiliar animals, they sniffed and walked away.

But when presented with a sample from the mother or daughter they were due to be reunited with, the female elephants repeatedly sniffed the samples and showed a variety of reactions, from making sounds to flapping their ears.

Such reactions may be linked to positive emotions, the researchers say. “That was amazing and really intense,” says Hörner. “We were sure they do remember, and they know exactly what they are smelling there.”

The sample size was small, but it would be cruel to do similar tests on elephants that weren’t being reunited, says Hörner.

“I am not surprised that elephants have memories, especially in social contexts, that last a long time,” says Joshua Plotnik at Hunter College in New York, who wasn’t involved with the work. Elephants live in groups that split up and come back together over long periods of time.

But Plotnik says the experiment may not be a true test of memory. There may be scent cues (线索，提示) common to all relatives that can trigger recognition not linked to memory, he says, and presenting the elephants with other smells would help make sense of their responses.

28. Why did Hörner collect faecal samples from elephants at German zoos?

A. To figure out mother and daughter elephants.

B. To haul samples in the tiny car.

C. To help elephants reunite with their family.

D. To test elephants’ memories.

29. How did the elephants react when presented with samples from family members?

A. They sniffed and walked away.

B. They responded actively.

C. They recognized their family members.

D. They showed no reactions.

30. What’s the shortcoming of this experiment according to Hörner?

A. There is no experimental preparation.

B. Samples are of different age level.

C. The experiment is immoral.

D. There are only four samples.

31. What does Plotnik suggest?

A. Drawing a conclusion according to the findings.

B. Making use of the findings.

C. Conducting further research.

D. Clarifying the purpose of the study.

Recently, the artificial intelligence app ChatGPT has been making headlines in the higher education media and beyond. Some have taken an alarmist approach, such as a recent Atlantic piece titled “The College Essay Is Dead.” Others have been more optimistic, examining the limitations of the app as well as offering suggestions for how it can inform student learning and writing. Below is an FAQ about ChatGPT.

Q: How can I design assignments to discourage use of ChatGPT?

A: One important strategy for preventing use of ChatGPT or other similar technologies is to create assignments that require students to show stages of their work (outlines, rough drafts, etc.).

Ask students to refer to course materials and discussions, which would be impossible for ChatGPT to access and would also promote valuable integration skills.

Ask students to engage in and submit a reflection about what they have learned from completing the assignment. Sample tips include: a) Discuss the most challenging and most rewarding aspects of your project. b) What was the most surprising thing you learned in the course of this project? c) If you had the chance to do it again, what one thing would you have done differently on this project?

Teach citation skills and research skills, including expression of original thought.

It is worth considering why you assign writing in your classes and discussing that clearly with students. For most professors, writing represents a form of thinking. But for some students, writing is simply a product, a collection of words repeated back to the teacher. According to John Warner, a blogger and author of two books on writing, “If you can create an atmosphere where students are invested in learning, they are not going to copy, and they are not going to dodge the work. But the work has to be worth doing on some level, beyond getting the grade.”

Q: How can I use ChatGPT in the writing process?

A: These types of apps are not going away and will no doubt rise sharply in the future, so encouraging students to use them productively could be seen as an important contribution to information competence.

32. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. College essay is dead because of ChatGPT.

B. ChatGPT offers suggestions only for students.

C. There is no limitations to this app.

D. ChatGPT is a hot issue in certain fields.

33. Which of the following assignment may NOT discourage use of ChatGPT?

A. Write an essay by referring to course materials.

B. Write an essay about group discussion.

C. Hand in homework with specific steps.

D. Attach your paper with citations.

34. What does John Warner say about teaching?

A. Making sure students are actively engaged.

B. Creating a happy atmosphere for students.

C. Teaching students how to think wisely.

D. Making learning an investment for students.

35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. ChatGPT: A Smart Artificial Intelligence App

B. CharGPT: A Useful Tool foe Student Learning and Writing

C. ChatGPT: Assignments Created foe Students

D. ChanGPT: A Double-edged Sword for Teaching and Learning

Katie was six years old. She was part of a big family. She lived with her mom, dad and three older brothers. Her older brothers all played sports. They rode their bikes around town. Katie wanted to be just like them when she got binger.

One summer day, the boys all decided to go swimming at the neighborhood pool. Katie wanted to go, too.

“But we’re riding our bikes.” said Tom. He was the oldest.

“You’re too slow because you still have training wheels,” added Mike, the next oldest.

“Boys, I want you to take Katie swimming with you,” said Dad. “It will be fun.”

The third brother, David, sighed. “Fine,” he said. “But you’ll have to peddle fast.”

All four children put on the helmets and got on their bikes. The boys rode fast. Katie did her best to keep up, but her brothers were right. She was slower than they were. Soon she fell behind.

“Wait for me!” Katie cried. But her brothers were so far ahead that they didn’t hear her. Katie wasn’t going to give up. She pumped her legs up and down hard, and soon she arrived at the pool. Her brothers were waiting at the gate.

“Let’s got!” said Tom. He paid the entrance fee, and they all went inside to put their beach towels on the chairs they liked best. The boys splashed around in the shallow end of pool with Katie. They feel bad about leaving her behind and wanted to make sure she had fun. But soon the boys noticed that their friends were all in line at the diving board.

Dear fellow students,

In a hid to make the world know China and China walk up to the world. I am calling upon all of you to spread Chinese culture in English. The reasons are as follows.

Chinese culture, which enjoys a long history and covers a wide range of topics, will highlight our identity as Chinese people. In addition, spreading our culture in English will get across to foreigners our spectacular civilization. Hence, we are supposed to take an active part in culture exchange activities and tell the story of China in English, which are beneficial to fostering friendship with countries around the world.

Let’s take action right now! I'm definitely convinced our efforts will make a difference.
