Lin Xi, a 26-year-old lady engaged in electronic disassembly (拆卸)art has proved with her experience that no effort is in vain.

Lin’s work is to tear apart used electronic products and then present the components in an artistic way. “After being put back together, the one dusty items will become exhibition pieces that remind the owners of their childhood experience, a period of hard work or a deep-rooted memory, ” she says. Initially, Lin has to contact her customers to learn the stories behind each one and the type of presentation they prefer. Then comes the disassembly. The components, after being carefully cleaned, will be laid out on a piece of white paper in the desired order. The final step is to use graphics software, Photoshop, to draw and print a base plate.

Lin gained her popularity on short-video platform Douyin. However, it was not luck that brought Lin her current success. She first tried her hand at livestreaming in 2017 as a performer singing popular songs on Douyin. At the time she was a senior at Beijing Foreign Studies University. After graduation, she went to the UK for further study. During her one-year stay abroad, Lin visited many museums and appreciated exhibitions on different subjects, varying from insects to dols. She was so fascinated by an exhibit of used light bulbs, which gave her the inspiration to disassemble electronics and present the components like a decorative painting. She returned to China in 2019 and taught herself how to use digital design software.

Before officially starting her business, Lin surveyed her followers to see whether they would be interested in buying electronic disassembly art. It is important to know who your target audience is when running social media accounts, she explains. Speaking of the future, she notes that there are no big plans, but she will keep focusing on her daily work.

“Shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life that you’d like to, “ the Smiths once sang. However, research suggests that may not be the case when working as a team.

Researchers have found that when animals temper their personalities because of social rules, the efficiency of a group to undertake risky missions-such as foraging (觅食)for food-is boosted. “We see this phenomenon happening when we mix together a school of fish with wildly different personalities: the very fearless individuals and the very shy individuals tend to control what they would normally be doing when they stick with the rest of the group, ” said Dr Sean Rands, the lead author of the research at the University of Bristol.

Writing in the journal PLoS Computational Biology, the researchers reported how they built a computer model to investigate the impact of social conventions and animals’ personalities on the movement of individuals within a group. The model was based on an assumption in which a group of animals in a safe “home” set out to travel to a food foraging site some distance away.

The results revealed that when no social conventions were in place, their movements were governed by their personalities alone-in other words how fearless or shy they were determined how quickly they left home and arrived at the foraging site. However, when social conventions were introduced, so that the individuals had to keep an eye on each other and adjust their movements accordingly, the impact of personality reduced with less variation in how quickly they reached the destination. The team found where social conventions were present, the group foraged more efficiently than when individuals behaved independently. “We find that if individuals pay attention to the other members of the group, the group will tend to remain at the safe site for longer, but then travel faster towards the foraging site, “ the team wrote.

Rands added that for many social animals, being part of a group can bring huge benefits, and these can outweigh the influence of personality.

8．Why are the Smiths’ words mentioned in paragraph 1?

A．To give an example.

B．To make a comparison.

C．To lead in the topic.

D．To introduce the background.

9．What will individuals do while staying with a group?

A．Adjust their behavior.

B．Take on risky missions.

C．Ignore social rules.

10．What can we infer from the results?

A．Personalities alone determine movements.

B．Individuals prefer to behave independently.

C．Group work increases exposure to potential risks.

D．Social conventions contribute to working efficiency.

11．What is the best title for the text?

A．Be Part of a Group

B．Stay True to Yourself

C．Get Rid of Your Shyness

D．Control Your Personalities

China Daily, February 28th, 2023-MOSS, the first large-scale conversational language model in China, will be made open-source software by the end of March, according to its research and development team.

Named after the artificial intelligence-based computer that controls the space station in the popular Chinese sci-fi film, The Wandering Earth II, MOSS became the first ChatGPT-like software to be released in China. It was made available for public testing on Feb 20. Many people were quick to test the software and share their experiences online. The traffic was so heavy that the platform had to be suspended for an upgrade.

“The plan is to have MOSS interact with humans for a month so as to optimize it. If everything goes well, it will be made open source by the end of March, ” Qiu Xipeng, director of the Natural Language Processing Committee of the Shanghai Computer Society, which is leading the R&D, told ThePaper. cn during the 2023 Global Artificial Intelligence Developers Conference in Shanghai on Sunday.

Making MOSS open-source software can effectively reduce the threshold (门槛)for the development and application of pre-trained language models, thus allowing small and medium-sized enterprises to develop various products, such as smart customer service, smart home and AI lawyers on the basis of it. Qiu said, “MOSS still has a lot of room for improvement, but its appearance proves that the domestic scientific research team has the ability to overcome important technical challenges on the way to developing ChatGPT-like products. ”

“We want to share MOSS and its model codes and development experiences with everyone, and hope that China can be at the forefront of the world in terms of large-scale language models. We look forward to the continued cooperation between the Fudan team and the Shanghai laboratory, through MOSS and subsequent research and exploration, to promote AI inclusiveness and authorize the domestic AI industry as soon as possible, ” he added.

12．What can we learn from paragraph 2?

A．MOSS proved to be perfect.

B．The public testing went smoothly.

C．The test platform was overcrowded.

D．China first released ChatGPT-like software.

13．What does the underlined word “optimize” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Replace.

B．Highlight.

C．Improve.

D．Maintain.

14．What may prevent China developing ChatGPT-like products?

A．Pre-trained language models.

B．Various related smart products.

C．Space for MOSS improvement.

D．Key technical difficulties.

15．Which aspect of the research does the last paragraph focus on?

A．Its vision.

B．Its challenges.

C．Its achievements.

D．Its significance.

47．阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was young, my father was quiet and seldom talked to me, so we were not so close. The times I loved most were the special moments we had together. To this day, I still hold those memories dear. When I had a son, I was always worried that my absence might have an impact on his future life and that I might miss all his milestones since I travelled a lot. I knew how important it was for a boy to have his father near. I decided that if I couldn’t be with my son as often as possible, I would make every effort to create special moments for us.

When my son was five, I was sent to the branch in Shanghai, which meant I had to be away from my family for nearly a year. The hardest time for me was the summer and winter vocations when my son was out of school and families could get together doing something fun. To ease the separation, we kept writing letters to share any precious moments in our life. In one letter home, I promised my son that we would make a lantern together and sign up for the community lantern design competition on the Lantern Festival.

Everywhere I went on business, I would pick up things for our lantern adventure and send them to him. I bought a couple of handbooks on how to DIY a lantern, and I sent those on. I found special bamboo for the frame. I sent him one piece at a time, carefully packed. When I was in Hangzhou, I found the most beautiful silk with gold threads woven through it. Perfect lantern material. I sent it home. I found a golden Chinese knot that could be attached to the bottom of the lantern. I sent that home, along with some auspicious cloud(祥云) paper-cuttings that would serve as splendid decorations. Then I was on my way home.
