Roborock Q5+    iLifeV3s Pro Robot    Eufy RoboVae 11S    iRobot Roomba S9+   Samsung Jet Bot Al+

Roborock Q5+

Roborock’s midrange model overcomes most of the limitations of robot vacuums. It’s easy to clean, maps rooms flawlessly, and goes far on a charge. It doesn’t sense when its bin is full but can follow voice commands.

Price:$500. roborock.com

iLifeV3s Pro Robot

A budget alternative, this machine “outperformed much more expensive vacuums.” You control it with a remote, not an app. But it’s thorough, avoids obstacles, and has no brushes that would require regular cleaning to remove fur and hair.

Price: $165, iliferobot.com

Eufy RoboVac 11S

This budget option is “surprisingly thorough.” It cleans more randomly because it doesn’t map your space and it doesn’t empty its own bin. But it’s quieter than its smart rivals and “a great value for light everyday maintenance.”

Price: $140. eufy.com

iRobot Roomba S9+

Roomba’s top-end model can’t match the cleaning power of a traditional vacuum, but it has few robotic rivals on that score. Another plus: The bin is automatically emptied into a disposable bag in the docking station.

Price: $799, irobot.com

Source: Consumer Reports

Samsung Jet Bot AI+

Though this pricey vacuum delivers “below average” cleaning performance, it’s good-looking, gentle on furniture, and is “packed full of features.” It can even double as a patrolling security camera that will live-stream to your phone.

Price: $1,300, samsung.com

At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their pocket money on unimportant things like candy and toys, Jose was busy saving money for more necessary things. To try to get his peers to do the same, the youngster from Peru came up with the new idea of an eco-bank, which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially intelligent - while also helping the environment.

Founded in 2012, the Bartselana Student Bank is the world's first cooperative bank for kids. Possible members have to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank partners are required to bank at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis. The waste is sold to local recycling companies. The funds received are placed in the individual's account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then take out his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger goal.

The youngster's determination paid off, and by 2013, the Bartselana Student Bank had over 200 members. Things have only improved since. Today, the eco-bank is proud of ten educational centers. They are designed to teach over 3,000 teenagers to become economically independent, invest(投资) wisely, and help the environment. Now the Bartselana Student Bank began accepting applications from kids all across Peru. Not surprisingly, Jose's efforts have earned the youngster several national and international awards, which won him about $ 5,500.

“Jose's eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate effect, both in thought and practice. The system clearly shows that the planet's common resources are limited and that we must recycle the products we no longer use,” a judge said. “It creates viewpoint of consumption(消费).

二、未知

Ask ChatGPT to write a five-paragraph essay on the symbolism of “The Great Gatsby” and it will produce a response within seconds. Plug in an algebra equation(代数方程式)and it can solve it almost instantly and even explain its process.

That’s not all. The capabilities of the artificial intelligence chatbot tool, launched in November 2022 by San Francisco-based startup OpenAI are vast. It can fix spelling and grammar errors, give feedback on writing, write poems and songs, create lesson plans for teachers and much more. It does it all in human-sounding text and with high efficiency.

But its presence has received mixed responses. Due to the probability for plagiarism and cheating. New York City Public Schools, the largest school district in the U.S... announced in early January 2023 that it was banning ChatGPT across all district devices and networks. Educators are concerned the application will fundamentally change how writing is taught and will impact students’ abilities to craft ideas on their own.

Some, on the contrary, say they are excited about its potential to advance learning for some students and become a valuable tool in education. Those teachers are envisioning ways to adapt their teaching to incorporate it in their lessons. Kelly Gibson, an English teacher in rural Oregon, is having her students analyze essays written by ChatGPT and find ways that they can be improved.

“It’s definitely scary. I understand the desire to panic.” says Torrey Trust, associate professor of learning technology at the University of Massachusetts. “Teachers and students should see ChatGPT as a helpful tool, much like a calculator might be in math class, but it cannot do a teacher’s job. It’s there to help teachers reach their learning aims. Whether it’s ChatGPT or another technology down the road, AI isn’t going away and, if anything, is likely to be more of a part of classrooms.

8．What does the author most likely to tell in the first paragraph?

A．The tool is quick off the mark.

B．The tool is smarter than people.

C．The tool stores amounts of information.

D．The tool excels at writing and calculating.

9．Why did New York City Public Schools forbid ChatGPT across all district devices and networks?

A．Because of the quick calculation of the monthly cost.

B．Because of the probability of the cheating in the study.

C．Because of the application of changing the writing habits.

D．Because of the complicated responses of its present usage.

10．How does Torrey Trust view ChatGPT?

A．Skeptical. B．Indifferent. C．Objective. D．Sensitive.

11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Almighty chatGPT. B．Powerful OpenAI.

C．Confusing OpenAL D．Controversial ChatGPT.

A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.

In the study, researchers used various experiments to measure connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then asked people at random to do one or the other. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better.

“People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone than by email, and they did not feel more awkward,” study co-author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement.

In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by texting.

Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “exchange information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person.”

Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the exact effects of the message.” she explains. “Each party is more present, and therefore, able to measure the meaning behind the content without reflecting on the endless possible meanings behind words.”

12．How was the study carried out?

A．By analyzing data. B．By interviewing experts.

C．By doing experiments. D．By doing online research.

13．What did people expect before making a phone call in the experiment?

A．Email would help them form a stronger bond.

B．Hearing someone’s voice would be awkward.

C．A stronger bond would be formed on the phone.

D．Hearing someone’s voice made the experience better.

14．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．Texting helps to exchange information exactly.

B．People can keep the message under control by texting.

C．Romanoff doesn’t agree with the result of the study.

D．Calling makes it easier to get the exact message.

15．What does the text focus on?

A．Speeech forms stronger social bonds than texting.

B．Making a phone call is significantly convenient.

C．Calling and texting become obviously different.

D．Introduction leads to the result of a new study.

Surfing is a thrilling sport that requires a great deal of skill, strength, calm and determination. For teenagers, riding the waves can make their blood racing and is an addictive experience. This is the story of one teenager’s unforgettable adventure while surfing. Alex is a 16-year-old boy who grew up in a small coastal town. He is an enthusiastic surfer and spent most of his free time riding the waves. One, sunny morning, he headed out to the beach to catch some waves.

As he arrived at the beach, the sun was shining, and the waves were perfect. He grabbed his surfboard and paddled(用桨划)out into the water. He spent the next few hours surfing, and as the sun began to set, he decided to catch one more wave before heading back to shore.

Alex spotted a huge wave on the horizon and knew he had to ride it. He paddled as fast as he could, feeling the water beneath him push him forward. As he reached the top of the wave, he stood up on his board and felt the wind rush past him. The wave was huge, and Alex felt a rush of excitement as he rode it towards the shore.

But as he approached the shore, he noticed something unusual. The water was moving violently, and he could hear a strange noise coming from beneath him. Suddenly, the wave crashed down on him, and he was thrown from his board. He hit the water hard and was pulled under by the current.

Alex struggled to reach the surface but found himself trapped in a powerful current. The current was pulling him out to sea, and he could feel himself getting further and further away from the shore. Panic set in, and he began to fear for his life.
