My mther is nw 90. Thankfully, she is blessed with gd health.
I still remember ten years ag when she turned 80, she surprised my brther and me with what she described as “independent birthday”.
One day she infrmed us she'd bked a seven-night trip t Turkey. Alne. Because she had never been. Of curse, that was ridiculus. There was n way my brther and I culd allw that. A weak, little ld lady wandering the streets f Istanbul n her wn, nt speaking a wrd f Turkish, with n knwledge f the laws and custms f the land—it was ut f the questin!
She paid n attentin t us. Off she went. When she returned, she tld us it had been a wnderful success. As it turned ut, she had barely spent any time alne, after hiring a taxi driver t shw her arund Istanbul fr sme days. He tk her t all the sites—the markets, churches and restaurants. He intrduced her t a blanket seller, “a lvely fellw,” and she bught sme blankets. The seller tk her address details and prmised t ship them t Canada. They wuld be arriving in three r fur weeks. My mther beamed (眉开眼笑) as she tld this stry. The blanket seller and my mther apparently built a friendship and she tld him t drp by if he were ever in Canada.
T ur great shck, her blankets did arrive sme weeks later, alng with a lvely nte frm the seller Mustafa. T ur even greater surprise, the fllwing year Mustafa himself arrived in Canada. He called ur mther t infrm her he was in Ottawa.
“I invited him ver and he came by fr a cup f tea. They drink a lt f tea in Turkey,” my mther tld my hrrified brther and me.
Her trip f independence seems t be thughtfully based n a realizatin that life is t be lived. It reminded me f the line frm the mvie The Shawshank Redemptin: “Get busy living r get busy dying.”
Why did the authr's mther g t Turkey alne?
A. T make the authr and the brther surprised.
B. T celebrate her 80th birthday independently.
C. T prepare herself t enter her ninth decade.
D. T infrm the authr that she needed independence.
25. Which f the fllwing best describes the mther's trip t Turkey n the whle?
A. Clrful.B. Bring.C. Dangerus.D. Challenging.
26. What d we knw abut the blanket seller?
A. He is pr but kind-hearted.B. He is utging and funny.
C. He is rich but selfish.D. He is friendly and reliable.
27．What can we learn frm the text?
A. It's never t ld t learn.B. East r West, hme is best.
C. Life shuld be well lived.D. Time and tide wait fr n man.

Billinaire Eln Musk n Wednesday annunced that he has frmed a new artificial intelligence(AI) cmpany, xAI, which has emplyed researchers frm Ggle, OpenAI and ther tp technlgy cmpanies. The gal, Musk tweeted, is “t understand reality.”
xAI is a separate cmpany frm Musk's ther businesses, such as Tesla and Twitter, but will wrk clsely with them, accrding t the new cmpany's website.
Musk isn't a nvice t AI since Tesla uses the technlgy in its cars. While xAI didn't mentin what prjects it will be wrking n, the cmpany nted that its team f 11 researchers are drawn frm tp tech cmpanies such as Micrsft Research, OpenAI and Ggle.
Musk suggested that the reasn he picked July 12, 2023, t annunce the start f xAI is cnnected with a science fictin(科幻小说) classic, Duglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide t the Galaxy.” In his tweet, he nted that adding the date 7-12-23 equals 42, which the wrk f the fictin famusly assumes is the answer t life.
“The gal f xAI is t understand the true nature f the universe,” the xAI website states.
The cmpany said it will be advised by Dan Hendrycks, directr f the Center fr AI Safety. Hendrycks pinted ut where AI culd cause prblems. “AIs culd be used by bad peple t make new deadly biweapns(生物武器),” Hendrycks said in May. “Or peple culd make AI that tries t hurt peple n purpse. If this AI was really smart, it culd be a big danger t all f us.”
The first time xAI was shwn t the public was after Musk talked abut it in April t the frmer Fx News hst Tucker Carlsn. Musk tld Carlsn that OpenAI's ChatGPT was a bit biased(有偏见的) and that he wanted t create a different tl that wuld be a super hnest AI that tries t learn hw everything in the wrld wrks.
The new cmpany reflected(反映) Musk's lng-viced cncerns abut a future in which AI systems culd present a risk t human existence. The idea, Musk said, is that an AI that wants t understand humanity is less likely t destry it.
What des the underlined wrd “nvice” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Bss.B. Cach.C. Partner.D. Beginner.
29. Why did Musk annunce the start f xAI n July 12, 2023?
A. He chse the date t remember a friend.
B. He was influenced by a number in a bk.
C. It was suggested by a writer at his invitatin.
D. It was the decisin f all the 11 researchers f xAI.
30. What des Hendrycks think f AI?
A. It is quite wrrying.B. It is mney-making.
C. It will nt be smarter than humans.D. It can be used t punish bad peple.
31. What did Musk say t Carlsn?
A. It will take time t create a new AI.B. OpenAI's ChatGPT has its advantages.
C. Creating an hnest AI is his dream.D. It is hard t change peple's ideas f Al.

The stry abut hrses in Nrth America tld in several written histries is in need f an update, accrding t a new study. After examining archaelgical（考古学的) remains(遗骸) f hrses, researchers suggest Indigenus peples(土著居民) had spread the animals thrugh the American West by the first half f the 1600s — befre they met Eurpeans.
The findings agree with ral (口述的) histries frm Indigenus grups, which tell f interactins（相互作用）with hrses befre settlers arrived in their hmelands. Meanwhile, written Eurpean texts frm the 1700s and 1800s stated that hrses nly spread thrugh the area after 1680.
Hrses first appeared in the Americas arund fur millin years ag, but by abut 10,000 years ag, they had mstly disappeared frm the recrd. Spanish settlers likely first brught hrses back t the Americas in 1519. Accrding t the new study, Indigenus peples then transprted hrses nrth alng trade netwrks
T find when the animals spread, researchers examined the remains f mre than twenty hrses discvered acrss the Western U.S. Rather than simply walking arund the cuntryside n their wn, the hrses appear t have been part f Native American culture. Signs f teeth prblems n ne hrse and grwths n the bnes f the head f anther suggested peple had put bridles(马勒) n the animals. Certain chemical elements(化学元素) in the animals' teeth suggested they ate maize, an Indigenus plant. And anther hrse had a previusly brken facial bne that had fully recvered, meaning it might have received medical treatment.
Researchers cmpared the ancient hrses' DNA with that f mdern hrses and fund that the centuries-ld hrses had largely Spanish rigins(血统）.
Tgether, the findings suggest hrses spread "frm Spanish settlements in the American Suthwest t the nrthern Rckies and central Great Plains by the first half f the 17th century.”
The findings als highlight the imprtance f Indigenus ral traditins in understanding histry. “Our cultures have been s misunderstd fr s lng,” says c-authr Yvette Cllin. “T ften histry has been tld arund us, withut us.”
32. What needs t be updated accrding t the new study?
A. When hrses shwed up in the Americas.B. Wh intrduced hrses t Nrth America.
C. When Native Americans first met Eurpeans.D. Wh spread hrses thrugh the American West.
33. What did researchers find ut abut ancient hrses frm the remains?
They had hardly any Spanish rigins.B. They were brn with tth disease.
C. They played a rle in natives' life.D. They were badly treated by natives.
34. What des Cllin think f ral histries?
A. They spread easily.B. They shw the truth.
C. They pass dwn traditins.D. They unite Indigenus grups.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Written texts explain human-hrse interactins
B. Oral histries help us understand Indigenus cultures
C. New research rewrites the histry f American hrses
D. Archaelgical remains are the key t learning abut the past
