In the wrds f the Nbel cmmittee, Ernaux was given the award “fr the curage and clinical acuity f her writing”. Having spent ver 50 years as a writer, the 82-year-ld winner has published mre than 20 bks. Rather than cnsider herself a writer f fictin, Ernaux has used the term “an ethnlgist f herself”.
Brn in 1940 in a village in Nrmandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a wrking-class envirnment. Her parents ran a cmbined grcery stre and cafe. She wrked as a teacher befre becming a full-time writer.
Tw bks by ther French writers inspired her t be a writer: The Secnd Sex by Simne de Beauvir and Distinctin by Pierre Burdieu, The frmer led her t write abut feminism, and the latter raised her awareness f the huge gap between her and the envirnment she grew up in. Besides her reading influences, her “upbringing and experiences navigating adlescence and adulthd” als inspire many f her wrks, nted CNN.
Thugh the matters Ernaux describes in her bks are serius and even smetimes heavy, they are always written in plain language. Ernaux described her style as “flat writing” thrugh which she aims t tell her stries bjectively, “unshaped by flrid(过多修饰的)descriptin r verwhelming emtins”, nted Fx News.
“She writes abut things that n ne else writes abut, fr instance her jealusy, her experiences as an abandned lver and s frth. I mean, really hard experiences.” Anders Olssn, chairman f the Nbel Cmmittee fr Literature, said after the award annuncement in Stckhlm.

A furth clr might be added t traffic lights t better realize the ptential f self-driving vehicles, as stated in a recent paper by researchers at Nrth Carlina State University in the US.
Autnmus vehicles can d mre than just drive-they are able t sense their surrundings and uplad infrmatin. A shared netwrk gives rders t stp at a crssing based n traffic cnditins.
The added white lights wuld be used t signal t human drivers that autnmus vehicles are managing the upcming traffic flw intelligently. Drivers dn’t have t check the traditinal lights if the white ne is n. “The white lights will tell human drivers t simply fllw the car in frnt f them,” ne f the study authrs Ali Hajbabaie tld the university’s website.
Simulated (模拟的) mdels shwed that autnmus vehicles were able t imprve traffic flw n their wn. Intrducing the white light als has a psitive effect n reducing fuel cnsumptin. The higher the percentage f autnmus vehicles at a crssing, the faster the traffic mves, reducing abut 40 t 99 percent f the ttal delay time.
What kind f infrastructure (基础设施) is needed as self-driving technlgy thrives? In an interview with China Surveying and Mapping magazine, Liu Jingnan at the Chinese Academy f Engineering shared his answers.
T begin with, the vehicle’s netwrk that cllects data abut the envirnment and shares the data with ther vehicles needs t be intelligent. High-precisin maps are needed fr autnmus vehicles t plan rutes in detail. They can prvide bth updated infrmatin n traditinal maps and real-time changes, such as accidents.
Fr example, when driving arund a curve, the navigatin (导航) system in the vehicle needs t calculate the safe speed based n the map’s infrmatin. And if the area is fggy, the netwrk has t alarm the ther cars t slw dwn.
Other elements n the rad need t be upgraded t. Fr example, rad markings shuld be precise and readable fr machines. Sensrs shuld be built n sidewalks and rads t allw vehicles t predict ptentially dangerus situatins.
28．What is the purpse f adding a white light t traffic lights?
A．T signal t self-driving cars when t stp.
B．T help driverless cars assess traffic cnditins.
C．T tell human drivers t g after the cars in frnt.
D．T signal t human drivers t pass the cars ahead.
29．Accrding t the article, what effect wuld the intrductin f self-driving cars bring abut?
A．Increased rad safety.B．Reduced fuel efficiency.
C．Less time stuck in traffic.D．Unpredictable traffic patterns.
30．What is a functin f high-precisin maps in self-driving technlgy?
A．T calculate a safe speed fr vehicles. B．T prvide real-time weather updates.
C．T share rutes fr autnmus vehicles. D．T ffer real-time data n rad cnditins.
31．What des the authr intend t prve in the last fur paragraphs?
A．The advantages f autnmus vehicles.
B．The rle f the navigatin system in self-driving cars.
C．The applicatin f the infrastructure in self-driving cars.

①Develped by Open AI and came ut in Nvember 2022, ChatGPT attracted 100 millin mnthly users in just tw mnths, making it the fastest - grwing app in histry.
②Since ChatGPT can write emails, cmputer cde, even academic papers and pems, and has passed a number f tests within secnds, it seems that it wuld be an innvatin (创新) which can cause prblems.
③The glbal respnse (回应) t ChatGPT varies greatly. Sme universities have banned (禁止)it.

Andreas Lee, directr f the Organizatin f Ecnmy, fr instance, said he welcmed ChatGPT because “it gives peple a chance” t fcus less n tasks that technlgy can perfrm equally well.
④Hw can we better deal with the chatbt and its develpment? Like the rles played by mst technlgical advances in histry, AI shuld be and will becme a pwerful tl fr the develpment f higher educatin wrldwide.
⑤Therefre, we need t accept AI as early as pssible, and higher educatin rganizatins shuld make preparatins fr it. They can start by ffering related curses, because by understanding hw it wrks, they can avid fllwing the answers ChatGPT gives.
⑥Besides, students with gd knwledge f AI are mre cmpetitive when it cmes t getting a gd jb, as an increasing number f jbs are being dne by rbts. AI - pwered educatin technlgies can be adpted (采用) t the learning experience f each student based n his r her strengths and weaknesses. In additin, AI can free prfessrs frm ding bring tasks s they can teach and interact with students mre enjyably.
⑦Since we cannt avid ChatGPT and ther Al-pwered applicatins frm entering the field f higher educatin, we shuld make effrts t ensure they have a psitive influence n sciety. AI helping makes learning much mre interesting and enjyable, but humans need t wrk hard t win the race with technlgy.
