It's a beautiful fall day. Before we camp near the river, the children dashed along the water's edge, leaping off the bank into the slow current, pushing through the mud.

Sam Altman, CEO of the San Francisco startup OpenAI that developed ChatGPT, his company's chatbot tool, on Tuesday urged US lawmakers to regulate artificial intelligence "We think that regulatory intervention(干预) by governments will be critical to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models. My worst fears are that we, the field, the technology industry cause significant harm to the world. " Altman said.
"I think if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong, and we want to be vocal about that, "Altman added. "We want to work with the government to prevent that from happening
The 38-year-old Stanford University dropout said the potential for AI to be used to influence voters is among" my areas of greatest concern", especially because "we're going to face an election next year and these models are getting better". He said his company's technology may destroy some jobs but also create new ones and that it will be important for government to figure out how we want to reduce that". Altman said the government could regulate the industry by creating an agency that issues licenses for the creation of large-scale AI models, safety regulations and tests that AI models must pass before being released to the public.
The rapid development of ChatGPT with an estimated 100 million users within two months has sparked an industry race, with Microsoft, an investor in OpenAI, enabling ChatGPT in the Windows operating system and Google adding its own so-called generative AI systems including one called Bard, to its app. The latest forms of AI also have drawn criticism from some of tech's biggest names for their potential to disrupt(扰乱)millions of jobs and spread misinformation.
Altman said OpenAI pretests and constantly updates its tools to ensure safety and that making them widely available to the public actually helps the company identify and mitigate risks.
28. According to Altman, why should the government regulate AI?
A. To accelerate industry race . B. To provide job opportunities.
C. To avoid influencing voters. D. To prevent its potential harm.
29. What does the underlined word "mitigate" mean in paragraph 3?
A. Remove B. Pose C. Reduce D. Adapt

A. The birth of Bard B. 100 million users
C. The spread of misinformation D. An industry race
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Government involved in AI risk B. Strict regulations urged on AI
C. OpenAI updated for safety D. Jobs destroyed by ChatGPI

I wanted to set myself the writing challenge of citing some of the many positive things about having a baby. It's addressed to one person, but I hope that those who find themselves at a similar crossroads get help from it.
To my friend A,
All you ever seem to hear about parenthood is negative. I do not feel this. You create a new life in that child, and with that baby, you get a new life, too. When I became a mother, my own mother's embrace, and my father's, not to mention my extended family's, have kept me going.
We are used to hearing about how motherhood limits your life, less so about how it can expand it. I have always believed that life is fundamentally about human relationships, and having a baby has enhanced mine. Becoming a mother—and giving birth—has enhanced my feelings of solidarity with other women. Parenting has also allowed me to experience childhood again. I have always wanted to give someone else a childhood. My wide-eyed little boy is at the stage where he is simply in love with the world, and that love is thrillingly unconditional. It is a privilege to witness, and it makes me determined to maintain it for him as much as I am able to, because his laugh is the best sound that I have ever heard.
A note about sleep: you will be OK-you've had enough wild nights to know you can cope. And you can get your body back, whatever that might mean to you. As for your career, it's normal to worry. I speak only for myself when I say that I wish I had spent less time worrying beforehand about how I would write. I have far less time, now, but I'm still writing. Even a paragraph a day adds up to a novel, eventually. There is so much untapped joy and love there waiting for you, and I hope I've given you a small glimpse of some of it to hold on to.
32. Who might be the intended audience for this article?
A. Self-centered parents.
B. Those fearing to have a baby.
C. Broken-hearted friends.
D. Those avoiding marriage.
33. How does the author mainly make his arguments convincing?
A. By explaining ideas. B. By quoting sayings.
C. By comparing facts. D. By concluding opinions.
34. Why does the writer give examples of her writing in the last paragraph?
A. To show how successful she was as a writer.
B. To note that where there is a will there is a way.
C. To tell her friend that giving birth is a piece of cake.
D. To persuade her friend not to worry about her career.
35. Which column may the article be chosen from?
A. Opinion. B. Headline. C. Health. D. Culture.

Personal Development For Teens
Teenagers may face many challenges unique to them. Below are some steps to help you evolve and be a better person in your teens.
Learn new skill
Sometimes, a side-skill you have gained along the way turns out the very thing that creates an opportunity for success. 36 ___________You shouldn't be forced to determine your future based on your grades and choices in high school, so learning new skills will definitely come in handy later.
Try to socialize more
37_____________ Wherever you go and whatever you do, the ability to blend in and communicate with others can save you in tough times. Socializing, making friends, and forming healthy relationships can help you learn things you could never find out on your own.
Have a better lifestyle.
Your lifestyle forms your character, and the way you live defines who you are. 38_________ On the other hand, having an unhealthy lifestyle may disturb you, put you under stress, and eventually harm you in the most unbelievable ways.
Take care of your health
Without health, it is almost impossible to enjoy life to its fullest. Money, grades, or events are replaceable; your health is not. And while it is very important to maintain good physical health, we cannot forget about our mental health. 39_______________
Embrace positivity
Try to avoid people who ruin everything with negativity and befriend those who give you positive vibes(感应). 40____________ How can you improve your yourself if your surroundings keep telling you that changing for the better is useless? Negative people give up quickly because they can never see the light in the darkness.
Every teenager should be taught and reminded of ways to improve themselves so that they can see a clearer picture of their future.
A. Grasping new skills is an easy job.
B. You need people who make you feel good about life.
C. Force yourself to socialize—even if you don't want to.
D. Proper communication is crucial if you want to be a better person.
E. Our mind is just as important, and we should give it the same amount of attention.
F. Also, when you are in your teens, you hardly know what you want to do with your life.
G. When you're at peace with how you live your days, you can focus on improving yourself.

Have you ever heard of and seen Canadian geese? Do you know that they 41 fresh grass and seeds?
Canadian geese have a good 42 for their politeness. They always bow down to you whenever you walk by. However, I have recently found that they can sometimes be 43 to their peers, especially on occasions when they quarrel for food-yes, these 44 gentlemen do quarrel, just for something to eat
Yesterday I witnessed two Canadian Geese arguing 45 for a clump(草丛) of beautiful fresh grass. The clump was 46 right in the middle of them, while the two were shouting noisily, stretching their necks as long as they could to look aggressively at each other. It's 47 to witness the "impolite" side of Canadian geese. Hence, I couldn't help 48 my morning walk, standing still to watch these "gentlemen" quarreling. Interestingly, after a short while, a truck roared past their feast, disturbing their 49 conversation. The two geese were equally 50 by the massive "monster", thus giving up their conversation.
Would they start quarreling again? I stood still, 51 the ridiculous question and waited. Beyond my expectation, right after the truck's passing by, the two geese immediately lost their 52 for quarreling as if they had forgotten all about what had happened. Even the two turned around and left the 53 in opposite directions as if nothing had happened. They left only me there, imagining what might have happened without the 54.
They got along harmoniously again. Sometimes it's not that bad to be 55.

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。
Mrs. Peabody was a serious old woman the kids called psychic (通灵者) because she magically knew which students had accomplished the real assignment and which had not.
She once gave the class a writing assignment. "Write an essay about summer vacation. "she said. "Be as creative as you can. "
Well, that night Jim sat at his desk at home and stared unhappily at a blank sheet of paper. He didn't want to write a stupid essay about his summer vacation. Boring. So he gave up on the assignment but wrote what he wanted to—not an essay at all but a science fiction. It was about a distant planet that didn't have summer—it was spring all the time. And it didn't have vacations either. The aliens on the planet worked 24 hours a day.
The next morning he handed in the story but that night he lay awake until three a. m. , thinking: Why did I do that? I totally ignored the assignment. Maybe it'd take Mrs. Peabody a few days to grade the essays. I'd beg her for a chance to write another one, the sort she wanted.
But when he got to class the next morning it turned out that Mrs. Peabody had read and graded the essays. And when he saw the way she glanced at him with a strange look in her sten, psychic eyes, he wished he'd stayed home sick. I'm in trouble, Jim thought, blushing already, betrayed by his freckles (雀斑). Staring at the floor. Mrs. Peabody continued, "Almost everyone in class wrote an essay about his or her summer vacation . Almost everyone. "This is bad, Jim thought. I'm getting an F, I know it. "But, " the teacher said, "One student decided he didn't feel like doing that. " Jim glanced up long enough to see her eyes focused on him. This is worse than an F. . . I'm in note-to-the-parents territory now.
Then Jim heard his name called.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Jim finished reading his story, a smile spread across Mrs. Peabody's face.
