Sasha Masakowski remembers being six years old, seated at the piano next to her father-the well-known jazz guitarist Steve Masakowski.
“He'd play harmonies（和声） in the background on the guitar, and he'd encourage me to improvise（即兴演奏）,” Sasha recalls. “He'd tell me to play something using just the white keys or just the black keys and I'd make up music.” She says she was a little composer playing along with her dad in their New Orleans home. “I love those memories.” she adds.
As Sasha got older, though, her interest in jazz began to flag. Sasha went to a local arts high school and focused on musical theater. Steve admits to hoping his daughter would develop a love for jazz.
The father's expectation was eventually met when the daughter rediscovered jazz music. Sasha says she admired a guy in the jazz department from afar until the day they met. The first thing he said was “I'm such a big fan of your dad's!” She says the experience helped her realize that her father and his music were, in fact, cool. Finally, Sasha decided to study jazz instead of musical theater at the University of New Orleans, where her father headed the Jazz Studies Program.
Now, Sasha and Steve love playing together and they treasure the common language jazz gives them. Both compose music, but while her father is more focused on traditional jazz and teaching. Sasha likes to produce music with more electronic trends than Steve's. Despite different interests, Steve's pride in his daughter is clear. Today, Sasha is known for her musicality and her ability to improvise. “Improvising scares a lot of singers, but for me I feel like a little composer again at the piano next to my dad. I love it in large part because of him,” Sasha says.

Although baby dolls are usually targeted at children, the toys have been inspiring the imaginations of an older age group as well. One assisted living home company has brought dolls which sound like and look like tiny humans to live with the elderly people with Alzheimer's（老年痴呆症） as a way to help improve their health.
The dolls bring joy to the patients' days and help them remember what it means to look after and care for someone. One unexpected effect of the toys is that many patients have even been able to abate their anxiety medication as they focus on looking after the dolls.
During Cuddle（拥抱） Therapy, they cuddle, hold, rock, and tend to them, looking after the dolls as they were babies. While it has been shown that caring for the dolls greatly alleviates（减轻） the senior citizen's sadness and anxiety, it also allows them to express love and recreate a sense of connection to their environment and the world.
Although Cuddle Therapy isn't the most high-tech solution, patients have a strong emotional response and show signs of improvement when it comes to their mental health. Executive Director at Poet's Walk Warrenton, Terra Brown said, “Among the various forms of recreation therapy that our caregivers provide, we have found Cuddle Therapy is one of the simplest and most effective. It is also one of the most successful as it gives our residents a sense of purpose that they long for.” The therapy is offered in four U. S. states. April Hannewald's mother is a patient at Poet's Walk Memory Care Community in Nevada, and because of Cuddle Therapy, she's become re-energized and feels a greater sense of purpose. “My mother is not very verbal any more, but when I'm pushing her around in a wheelchair, she immediately starts talking in full sentences when we pass the baby dolls,” saying things like these, “Oh look! What are the babies doing?” Hannewald said.
28. What is the feature of the dolls brought by that assisted living home company?
A. They can take any shape. B. They can do various things.
C. They can make sounds of various animals. D. They're like real human babies in appearance.
29. What does the underlined word “abate” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Reduce. B. Double. C. Repeat. D. Check.
30. During Cuddle Therapy, what can dolls do?
A. They can remind the elderly patients of their childhood.
B. They can take care of the elderly patients when necessary.
C. They can help improve the elderly patients' mental condition.
D. They can replace the elderly patients' family and stay with them.
31. Why is April Hannewald's mother mentioned?
A. To explain how to use the dolls. B. To show the dolls are very popular.
C. To show the dolls are really helpful. D. To explain why people buy the dolls.
D
Schools in the US and elsewhere are announcing bans（禁令） on the recently released AI —powered ChatGPT out of fear that students could use the technology to complete their assignments. However, bans may be practically impossible given how difficult it is to detect when text is composed by ChatGPT. Is it time to rethink how students are taught and evaluated?
Educators are starting to question what it means to assess student learning if an Al can write an essay or paper similar to, or even better than, a student would - and the teacher can't tell the difference. Many teachers believe the time-honored learning tradition will be destroyed from the ground up by Chat GPT. The Los Angeles Unified School District in California first blocked the use of ChatGPT on networks and devices in December 2022
However, removing technology from the classroom can mean undesirable consequences, such as creating more difficulties for students with disabilities, says Trust. Additionally, banning the use of ChatGPT on school networks and devices can't stop students from using ChatGPT at home and in libraries.
It is also unclear if anti-cheating software can reliably detect Al-assisted writing OpenAl is working to develop a digital watermark that can help teachers and academics spot students who are using ChatGPT to write essays. Open AI's attempts to watermark Al text. however, hit limits.
Instead of worrying about how ChatGPT could enable cheating, educators should ask what motivates students to cheat in the first place and work on developing relationships of trust, says Jesse Stommel at the University of Denver in Colorado
“Talk to students really frankly about what ChatGPT's capable of, what it's not,” says Stommel. “Have students use it to write an essay about Jane Austen and gender dynamics, and then have them read that essay and peer review（同行评价） it and think about what ChatGPT gets right and wrong.”
32. What does the author suggest schools do?
A. Adjust teaching and assessment. B. Meet different demands from students.
C. Ban the use of ChatGPT in classrooms. D. Break with the traditional teaching method.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Dark future of ChatGPT. B. Educators' worries about ChatGPT.
C. Crisis of traditional learning. D. Difficulty in telling Al's writing.
34. What is the author's attitude toward OpenAI's watermark technology?
A. Amused. B. Hopeful. C. Shocked. D. Doubtful.
35. What can be inferred from Jesse Stommel?
A. Al helps students tell right and wrong.
B. Students should write about famous writers.
C. Educators should guide students to use Al properly.
D. The trust between teachers and students is hard to form

Simple ways to reduce your everyday waste
We all want to reduce our personal footprints, and a big part of this is reducing the amount of waste we produce at home. Here, we bring you four strategies for reducing waste in commonly wasteful areas of your life. 36
Is it repairable?
A high repairability score means significantly less waste. Whether a household item is fixable often translates to whether it ends up in a garbage can. 37 That's why France now requires electronic products, such as smartphones and laptops, to have a label indicating a repairability score. Globally, the right-to-repair movement has been increasingly gaining in popularity, as more people want to be able to service their own products, instead of always having to buy new ones.
38
After noticing that good dining hall food was ending up in garbage cans every day, a group of students at the University of Maryland, College Park, created the Food Recovery Network, a nationwide student movement collecting surplus（剩余的）cafeteria food and donating it to hunger-fighting nonprofits. You can learn more about their work and join the movement at foodrecoverynet work org.
Fluff（绒毛） flies again.
Have a down comforter（羽绒被） or a down coat that's reached the end of its life? 39 In recent years, an increasing number of companies have started gathering feathers for new products from reclaimed bedding and clothes Put your leaves to good use.
40 When left on the ground, the leaves of a tree serve as shelter and food for beneficial insects and other wildlife, contributing to a balanced ecosystem. Fallen leaves also make for great fertilizer（肥料）; cut them into pieces and add them to the compost（堆肥） container to feed your garden later.
A. Recycle extra food.
B. Buy food wisely.
C. Fixing your stuff is a great way to reduce e-waste.
D. There are plenty of benefits to making use of fallen leaves.
E. Find out whether local businesses are collecting them for recycling.
F. They include electronics, food, bedding and clothes, and the garden.
G. Wet leaves, which tend to burn slowly, give off more smoke than dry leaves do

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。
“Here you go,” Melanie said, handing Ava a pink envelope.
“Thanks.” Ava said. “But what is it?”
“An invitation to my pool party. It's Saturday at two. There will be a lot of fun things to do. You are going to love it so much. Do come, please.” Melanie kept talking but Ava wasn't listening.
The words “pool party” echoed（回响） through her mind. Ava had a secret she didn't even tell her best friend Melanie — Ava couldn't swim. Every time she tried to learn, she'd wind up with water up her nose and she'd be out of the pool as quickly as possible.
“You're coming, right?” Melanie said
“Huh?” Ava jumped.
“Do you think you could come a little early? I could use your help inflating（使充气） the floating basketball hoops（篮筐） and the ball. And I will need you to help me set the tables.”
Ava didn't know what to say. Melanie was one of her best friends. She couldn't miss her party. But she didn't want the whole school to find out she couldn't swim. That would be too embarrassing. “I think I might be busy this Saturday,” Ava said, lowering her head. She saw the disappointment on Melanie's face. “Maybe I could stop by for a little while, but I definitely wouldn't have time to swim.”
Ava spent the rest of the school day trying to avoid Melanie's questions about what she had to do on Saturday and why she couldn't stay for the whole party. Ava felt awful. That night she asked her parents to ground her or make other plans so she couldn't go to Melanie's party.
“Ava, this is silly,” her mother said. “Melanie is your best friend. She won't care that you can't swim.” Ava wasn't so sure.
“Just be honest with Melanie. She will understand you,” her father said.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When Saturday arrived, Ava's parents drove her to the party right on time. _______________________________

Dear Jack,
I’m more than pleased to know that you are eager to learn Chinese. Confucius Institute may be a good choice, which is intended for the Chinese learners who are not native.
Confucius Institute provides various interesting subjects. You will learn Chinese history and traditional culture as well as Chinese writing. Also, you have more chances to talk with classmates in Chinese. Besides, teachers will introduce some Chinese traditional festivals, such as the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Day and Mid-Autumn Day. Some relevant activities will be held during different festivals, such as making dumplings or eating zongzi, where you can not only enjoy delicious meals but also have a good knowledge of Chinese life.
I hope you will find my recommendation helpful and attractive.
Yours,
Li Hua

When Saturday arrived, Ava’s parents drove her to the party right on time. They had even convinced her to wear her bathing suit under her clothes. “You don’t have to go in the water, but you might get wet,” her mother insisted. Melanie ran up to Ava the moment she stepped out of the car. “You made it! The party would have been ruined if you weren’t here,” Melanie said excitedly. Ava felt very bad. “Melanie is a good friend and she deserves the truth,” she thought.
Ava decided to tell the truth. “Mel, I have to tell you something. I didn’t really have other plans. I was just afraid to tell you that I can’t swim,” Ava said sincerely, looking her friend in the eye. However, to Ava’s surprise, Melanie laughed and said, “Perfect! We won’t have to fight over who will be the judge of the pool games. No one ever wants to get out of the water to do it.” Ava’s face lit up. “I could do that. It sounds like fun,” Ava said excitedly. “It will be,” Melanie said, putting her arm through Ava’s and heading toward the pool.

W: Come on! Let’s get it changed. I’m thinking of a modern style.

M: Have you heard the new song by Ed Sheeran? I love it. I hope I can be at his concert someday.

W: Max, you’ve visited my office twice this month. Let’s talk about your behavior in class. I don’t want you to have to come here again and miss more lessons.
M: I know. I wasn’t trying to raise my voice in class, Ms. Molson. But it was difficult to manage my anger. (6)

W: That sounds nice. We haven’t got a right person to replace you by now. So it is making my job twice as hard.
