I asked my mther t sign mine, t. When she handed it back t me, I was anxius t see what she had written. This is what I fund n the page:
When a thing is first begun,
Never leave it till it’s dne.
Be the labr great r small.
D it well r nt at all.
That was it? 1 was frzen. It was an indicatin t me that, if I culdn’t be perfect, I wasn’t gd enugh. I held back my tears, left the page in but secretly hped my classmates wuldn’t read it.
D it well r nt at all. Fr years, I battled perfectinism and never felt gd enugh fr mst f my life.
When my mther was in her eighties, I gave her a bk t fill ut s we culd knw mre abut her. It had questins at the tp f each page and then blank space t respnd. I secretly hped she’d been wrking n it all alng. Sadly, nt lng after, my mther passed away. When I srted ut her belngings, what I wanted mre than anything was that bk. What I fund stpped me shrt. On page ten, the questin was, "What’s the best advice yu gt frm yur parents?" Her respnse was what she had written in my autgraph bk. Even thugh I’d memrized it years ag, I read it at a slwer pace nw, seeing it in a new light.

When put t tests, bees have lng prved that they’ve gt a lt mre t ffer than pllinating (授粉) , making hney and being lyal t a queen. The hard-wrking insects can change their behavir when things seem difficult, and nw sme scientists find there is prf that they als like t play.
Scientists frm Queen Mary University f Lndn perfrmed an experiment, in which they set up a cntainer that allwed bees t travel frm their nest t a feeding area. But alng the way, the bees culd chse t pass thrugh a separate sectin with sme small wden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went ut f their way t rll wden balls repeatedly, despite n apparent incentive (刺激)t d s. ”
Earlier studies have shwn that the black and yellw bugs are willing t learn new tricks in exchange fr fd r ther rewards. In this case, t get rid f external factrs, scientists made sure the bees had adapted t their new hme and that their envirnment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects als interact with bjects as a frm f play. Als similar t peple, yunger bees seem t be mre playful than adult bees. “This research prvides a strng indicatin that insect minds are far mre cmplicated than we imagine. There are lts f animals wh play just fr the purpse f enjyment, but mst examples cme frm yung mammals (哺乳动物) and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a prfessr f sensry and behaviral eclgy at Queen Mary University f Lndn, wh led the study.
The study’s first authr, Samadi Galpay, wh is a PhD student at Queen Mary University f Lndn, states that it is mre evident that bees may be capable f experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience sme kind f psitive emtinal states, even if basic, like ther larger animals d. This finding has effects n ur understanding f the sense and welfare f insects, which, cnsequently, encurages us t respect and prtect wildlife n Earth ever mre,” she says.
28. What is the new finding abut bees?
A. They are fnd f having fun.B. They are faithful t the queen.
C. They are adaptable t changes.D. They are skilled at rlling balls.
29. Hw did scientists remve external influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks.B. By rewarding bees with fd.
C. By making bees feel at hme.D. By building new hmes fr bees.
30. What can we infer frm Chittka’s wrds ?
A. The frms f bees’ interactin.B. The cmplexity f bees’ minds.
C. The examples f mammals’ play.D. The purpse f mammals’ enjyment.
31. What des Samadi Galpay say abut the study result?
A. It backs up prir understanding f insects.
B. It reveals reasns fr bees’ psitive feelings.
C. It drives research n animals’ emtinal state.
D. It cntributes t wildlife cnservatin n Earth.

When the cmpany Open AI develped its new artificial intelligence (AI) prgram, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educatrs began t wrry. ChatGPT culd create texts that seemed as if a human wrte it. Hw culd teachers discver whether students were using language created by an AI chatbt t cheat n a writing task?
As a linguist wh studies the effects f technlgy n hw peple read, write and think, I believe there are ther mre cncerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, mre generally, threatens student writing skills, the value f writing as a prcess, and the imprtance f regarding writing as a tl fr thinking.
As part f my research n the effects f AI n human writing, I surveyed yung adults in the U.S. abut sme issues related t thse effects. One participant said that at sme pint if yu depend n predictive（预设的）text, yu're ging t lse yur spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rm” int a Ggle search and yu're given a list f chices like “Was Rme built in a day.” These tls cmplete ur sentences autmatically (自动化地), giving us little chance t think abut ur spelling.
Evan Selinger, a philspher, wrried that predictive texting reduces the pwer f writing as a frm f mental activity and persnal expressin. “By encuraging us nt t think t deeply abut ur wrds, predictive technlgy may change hw we deal with each ther,” Selinger wrte. “Autmatin can stp us thinking and the resulting text didn't feel like mine anymre.”I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat t humans' mtivatin t write. The bt respnded: “There will always be a demand fr creative, riginal cntent that requires the unique viewpint f a human writer.” It cntinued: “Writing serves many purpses beynd just the creatin f cntent, such as self-expressin, cmmunicatin, and persnal grwth, which can cntinue t encurage peple t write even if certain types f writing can be autmated.”
I was glad t find the prgram had seemingly admitted its limitatins.
32. What is the authr's main cncern abut ChatGPT?
A. Whether it will lead t students' cheating. B. Whether it will shape students' writing style.
C. Hw students will make use f it at schl. D. What effects it will have n students' writing.
33. What will predictive technlgy d t us accrding t Evan Selinger?
A. Give us mre creative ideas. B. Make us write like a machine.
C. Encurage us t think mre deeply. D. Make us tend t ignre grammatical mistakes.
34. What can we learn frm ChatGPT's respnse?
A. Human writing will still matter a lt. B. Rbts will wrk with humans in writing.
C. Rbt writing will becme mre creative. D. Writing will becme cmpletely autmated.
35. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. Hw t apply AI technlgy t educatin? B. What is the future f mdern literature?
C. Hw t imprve writing with AI's help? D. What impact will AI bring t writing?
