In 2014, I was in ballet class when I gt a call frm the hspital that my dad had experienced a strke. I rushed t the hspital t jin him, and fund him buried in a nest f cables, surrunded by a variety f mnchrmatic, rapidly beeping (making a shrt, lud sund) assistive machines. They seemed t frm a single, massive enclsure arund him. Every few mments he wuld peer up at ne f the machines with wide, cnfused eyes. I became clear that many f the technlgies that were meant t be helping and supprting him were scary and inaccessible. During the mst difficult mments f his life, the machines multiplied his fear.
I wndered hw I culd make him feel reassured, safe, and dignified arund these devices. At the time, I was a prfessinal dancer and chregrapher (编舞者). Dancers, perfrmers and theater artists are all masters at evking emtins, s I began t think hw I might imprve machines t help him feel empwered and hpeful rather than afraid. My dad is nw in his early 70s and fully recvered. But his stry led me t start cmbining my passins fr dance and technlgy.
I’ve danced with different rbts all arund the wrld, in installatins (就职) and live perfrmances. I’m nw a Ph. D．candidate in mechanical engineering at Stanfrd University, where I wrk n mdels and interfaces that allw rbts t learn new tasks frm humans.
As the number f rbts in sciety cntinues t increase, mre peple need t be capable f using them. I think f ther cmmnly used technlgies like laptps and phnes and reflect that a user like my dad actively direct the rbt with natural human mtins.
I believe the intersectin (交叉点) between rbtics and human will cntinue t expand as rbts mve ut f the factry and int the public. I am nt sure hw sn my dad will have a rbt in his huse, but I d believe that when it arrives, it will be filled with dance knwledge.

Within weeks f its launch, ChatGPT started a new glbal race in artificial intelligence (AI). The chatbt is a part f a fresh wave f generative AI — cmplicated systems that prduce cntent frm text t images — that is set t have a great impact n Big Tech, industries and the future f wrk in a decade.
As an artificial-intelligence chatbt develped by OpenAI, an AI research cmpany, ChatGPT was released in Nvember 2022, which can have cnversatins, generate petry, and suggest edits t cmputer prgramming cde. The secnd half f its name, GPT, stands fr Generative Pre-trained Transfrmer. Transfrmers are specialized algrithms (算法), learning t predict nt just the next wrd in a sentence but als the next sentence in a paragraph and the next paragraph in an essay. This is what allws it t stay n tpic fr lng stretches f text.
ChatGPT is trained n a vast number f articles, websites and scial-media psts frm the Internet as well as real-time cnversatins with peple. It learns t mimic the grammar and structure f the writing and reflects frequently-used phrases. But it isn’t always accurate: its surces aren’t fact-checked, and it relies n human feedback t imprve its accuracy.
OpenAI develped ChatGPT as part f a strategy t build AI sftware that will help the cmpany turn a prfit. In January, Micrsft, its strategic partner, annunced a fresh multibillin-dllar investment in OpenAI and said it plans t integrate ChatGPT int its Bing search app and ther prducts. Ggle and Baidu are als pushing t launch similar tls.
ChatGPT has reached 100 millin users just tw mnths after launch. Despite its sudden burst in ppularity, the technlgy currently has serius limitatins and ptential risks that include giving misinfrmatin and breaking laws n intellectual prperty (知识产权).
28．What is ChatGPT able t d?
A．Prduce texts.B．Create pictures.
C．Develp rbts.D．Perfrm peratins.
29．What des the underlined wrd “mimic” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Define.B．Intrduce.C．Cpy.D．Ignre.
30．What is OpenAI’s main purpse f develping ChatGPT?
A．T build cmpany image.B．T imprve wrk efficiency.
C．T ffer translatin service.D．T make mre mney.
31．Which statement might the authr agree with?
A．AI will dminate human life.B．ChatGPT shuld be used prperly.
C．AI is unlikely t pse risks t peple.D．ChatGPT shuld be extended t every field.

In 2014, I was in ballet class when I gt a call frm the hspital that my dad had experienced a strke. I rushed t the hspital t jin him, and fund him buried in a nest f cables, surrunded by a variety f mnchrmatic, rapidly beeping (making a shrt, lud sund) assistive machines. They seemed t frm a single, massive enclsure arund him. Every few mments he wuld peer up at ne f the machines with wide, cnfused eyes. I became clear that many f the technlgies that were meant t be helping and supprting him were scary and inaccessible. During the mst difficult mments f his life, the machines multiplied his fear.
I wndered hw I culd make him feel reassured, safe, and dignified arund these devices. At the time, I was a prfessinal dancer and chregrapher (编舞者). Dancers, perfrmers and theater artists are all masters at evking emtins, s I began t think hw I might imprve machines t help him feel empwered and hpeful rather than afraid. My dad is nw in his early 70s and fully recvered. But his stry led me t start cmbining my passins fr dance and technlgy.
I’ve danced with different rbts all arund the wrld, in installatins (就职) and live perfrmances. I’m nw a Ph. D．candidate in mechanical engineering at Stanfrd University, where I wrk n mdels and interfaces that allw rbts t learn new tasks frm humans.

I believe the intersectin (交叉点) between rbtics and human will cntinue t expand as rbts mve ut f the factry and int the public. I am nt sure hw sn my dad will have a rbt in his huse, but I d believe that when it arrives, it will be filled with dance knwledge.

Within weeks f its launch, ChatGPT started a new glbal race in artificial intelligence (AI). The chatbt is a part f a fresh wave f generative AI — cmplicated systems that prduce cntent frm text t images — that is set t have a great impact n Big Tech, industries and the future f wrk in a decade.
As an artificial-intelligence chatbt develped by OpenAI, an AI research cmpany, ChatGPT was released in Nvember 2022, which can have cnversatins, generate petry, and suggest edits t cmputer prgramming cde. The secnd half f its name, GPT, stands fr Generative Pre-trained Transfrmer. Transfrmers are specialized algrithms (算法), learning t predict nt just the next wrd in a sentence but als the next sentence in a paragraph and the next paragraph in an essay. This is what allws it t stay n tpic fr lng stretches f text.
ChatGPT is trained n a vast number f articles, websites and scial-media psts frm the Internet as well as real-time cnversatins with peple. It learns t mimic the grammar and structure f the writing and reflects frequently-used phrases. But it isn’t always accurate: its surces aren’t fact-checked, and it relies n human feedback t imprve its accuracy.
OpenAI develped ChatGPT as part f a strategy t build AI sftware that will help the cmpany turn a prfit. In January, Micrsft, its strategic partner, annunced a fresh multibillin-dllar investment in OpenAI and said it plans t integrate ChatGPT int its Bing search app and ther prducts. Ggle and Baidu are als pushing t launch similar tls.
ChatGPT has reached 100 millin users just tw mnths after launch. Despite its sudden burst in ppularity, the technlgy currently has serius limitatins and ptential risks that include giving misinfrmatin and breaking laws n intellectual prperty (知识产权).

A．Prduce texts.B．Create pictures.
C．Develp rbts.D．Perfrm peratins.
29．What des the underlined wrd “mimic” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Define.B．Intrduce.C．Cpy.D．Ignre.
30．What is OpenAI’s main purpse f develping ChatGPT?
A．T build cmpany image.B．T imprve wrk efficiency.
C．T ffer translatin service.D．T make mre mney.
31．Which statement might the authr agree with?
A．AI will dminate human life.B．ChatGPT shuld be used prperly.
C．AI is unlikely t pse risks t peple.D．ChatGPT shuld be extended t every field.
