It's a sunny March afternn at Winchester Village Elementary Schl in Indianaplis, and teacher Natasha Cummings surprises her secnd graders when she declares the day's activity: They'll be demnstrating a ttal slar eclipse（日食）using the real sun, a glbe and a mn made ut f a plastic ball fixed n a stick.
In a grassy area utside the schl, Cummings' eclipse experiment begins: Students take turns hlding the glbes and casting a shadw with their plastic balls. Cummings directs them t aim the shadw ver the spt n the glbe where Indianaplis wuld be. It's a little disrganized at first, but the students quickly figure ut hw t prperly psitin the mn's shadw ver their hmetwn.
On April 8, 2024, part f America will experience a ttal slar eclipse, in which the mn entirely cvers the sun, darkening the sky s that nly an amazing white ring f the sun will be visible. Indianaplis is ne f several cities in the path f ttality.
"Fr mst f my students, this event is a nce-in-a-lifetime pprtunity since the next ne wn't happen until 2153," Cummings says. "I hpe learning abut and witnessing the eclipse will get them excited abut science. Abve all, I want t shw that science is nt dne by ld, gray-haired peple in lab cats, necessarily. Instead, it's all arund us."
Thmas Hckey, a prfessr f astrnmy at the University f Nrthern Iwa, says the fact that elementary schl teachers like Cummings are nw teaching abut the eclipse is an indicatin that science educatin has imprved since he was a child.
"I didn't learn abut slar eclipses when I was in grade schl, but I still remember my first eclipse experience utside my hme in Angla, Indiana. It was n March 7, 1970, nearly a year after the Apll prgram had put the first persn n the mn, "Hckey recalls. "My interest in space was already develping. But the partial eclipse was ne f the reasns I chse t study astrnmy."

Sme civilizatins recrd their pasts with art r bks. Others pass n histry thrugh flk sngs and dances. In Singapre, the stry f hw a ramshackle fishing village in Sutheast Asia develped int a wealthy and mdern cuntry ften cmes in spnfuls f peppery prk rib sup r bites f fried egg ndles at its hawker centers（小贩中心）.
Fr visitrs, hawker centers might just seem like fd curts: Fllw yur nse r the lngest line, then pay a few Singapre dllars fr a plate f fd t enjy at a shared table. Fr Singapreans, hawker culture is abut mre than just a gd meal. These fd centers are symbls f the cuntry's diversified culture. Hawker centers are s central t Singapre that the cuntry recently led a successful campaign t have the practice listed as the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage f Humanity.
T accmmdate（容纳）Singapre's diversified ppulatin, the gvernment made sure the hawker centers included Malay, Indian, and Chinese stre wners. "Hawker centers are likely the first places where peple will try anther ethnic grup's fd," says Chee Kien Lai, authr f Early Hawkers in Singa pre. "They're pen t everyne. Yu can get Chinese fd r try Indian cuisine and get cnnected t different cultures and religins."
After Singapre's rapid develpment in the 1970s and '80s, there was a sudden stp in the cnstructin f hawker centers. Everybdy was cncentrating n becming a knwledge-based sciety. By the time the gvernment returned t building new hawker centers in 2011, many peple wndered if there were enugh peple t carry n the traditin.
"Even thugh lcals lve eating at hawker centers, few are interested in running a small fd shp themselves," says Chee. "The cst f labr has gne up, with the yunger, better-educated generatin put ff by the lng hurs and physical wrk the jb requires. As aging hawkers retire, their recipes risk extinctin."
That's ne f the reasns that, in 2019, Singapre's Natinal Heritage Bard put the hawkers frward fr UNESCO recgnitin. "We need t make them ur lcal cultural heres," says Tay.
28. Which is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd "ramshackle" in paragraph l?
A. Pr. B. Big. C. Unfriendly. D. Pretty.
29. Fr Singapreans, the hawker centers are__________.
A. a means f passing n their histry B. an easy way t earn a living
C. symbls f being a mdern cuntry D. just gd places fr cheap fd
30. What can we learn frm paragraph 4?
A. Singapre has a very diversified ppulatin.
B. Hawker centers declined shrtly after the 1980s.
C. There is intense cmpetitin amng the hawkers.
D. Yung peple enjy wrking at the hawker centers.
31. What is Chee Kien Lai wrried abut?
A. The rising prices f fd. B. The high cst f labr in Singapre.
C. The disappearance f hawker centers. D. A lack f custmers fr hawker centers.

It is n secret that building a large language mdel（LLM）requires huge amunts f data. In cnventinal training, an LLM is fed muntains f texts and encuraged t guess each wrd befre it appears. With each predictin, the LLM makes small adjustments t imprve its chances f guessing right. The end result is smething that has a certain statistical "understanding" f what is prper language and what isn't.
But an LLM that has nly undergne this s-called "pretraining" is nt yet particularly useful. When asked fr a jke t cheer yu up, fr instance, the pretrained mdel GPT-2 just repeated the questin back three times. Clearly, imprved training methds have t be fund.
Here cmes the s-called Reinfrcement Learning Frm Human Feedback（RLHF）, which nrmally invlves three steps. First, human vlunteers are asked t chse which f ptential LLM respnses might better fit a given situatin. This prcess is repeated many thusands f times ver. Then the final data set is used t train a reward mdel. Finally, the well-trained reward mdel is emplyed t train the riginal LLM. But this way f ding RLHF is quite cmplex and using tw separate LLMs takes time and mney.
It nw turns ut that the same result can be achieved with much less effrt. Dr Rafailv and his clleagues, including Archit Sharma and Eric Mitchell, presented this alternative in December 2023 at an AI cnference. Their methd, Direct Preference Optimisatin（DPO）, relies n a satisfying mathematical trick.
Accrding t the authrs, remving the middleman makes DPO between three and six times mre efficient than RLHF, and capable f better perfrmance at tasks such as text summarisatin. Its ease f use is already allwing smaller cmpanies t train their wn mdels. "A year ag, nly a few wrld-leading mdels, such as Ggle's Gemini and OpenAI's GPT-4, culd affrd t use RLHF, "says Dr Rafailv. "But as f March 12, eight ut f the ten LLMs used DPO."
32. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The applicatins f GPT-2. B. The secret f building LLMs.
C. The prcess f pretraining. D. The limitatins f pretrained LLMs.
33. Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe RLHF?
A. Expensive. B. Efficient. C. Useless. D. Simple.
34. What can be learned abut DPO frm Dr Rafailv's wrds?
A. It has t use mre LLMs. B. It is much mre ppular than RLHF.
C. It is still t cmplex t use. D. It is nt cheap enugh fr small cmpanies.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. DPO, the Perfect LLM Training Methd
B. The Develpment f Large Language Mdels
C. A Brief Intrductin t LLM Training Methds
D. GPT-4, the Mst Intelligent Large Language Mdel

Fr the first tw years in primary schl, I was an extremely shy girl. I had a few friends, but it wasn't easy fr me t be very utging, even if I knew them well. If I was with strangers, I was even quieter. S I was nt gd at meeting new peple, I was in cnstant fear that I wuld d r say smething wrng. As a result, n ur schl's annual play day, I usually sat in a remte crner t watch the perfrmance alne, althugh I hped t sit in the frnt rws t see the actrs mre clearly.
One day in the third grade, my teacher Mrs. Sally called me int her ffice and said, "Oh, Mary, yu're great at memrizing things, and yu have such a sweet vice. Yu are perfect fr Jenny!"
But I bwed my head and dared nt speak. The teacher saw this and then said, "Of curse, plenty f girls wuld lve the rle, and I culd find smebdy else, But I hpe yu culd try it fr me. I had yu in mind fr Jenny while writing the play! If yu really dn't want t, yu can turn dwn the ffer."
My mind was running wild when Mrs. Sally, whm I lved and admired, asked me t play the rle.
"She believes in me!" I thught.
Just then I lked up and happened t see n the wall a pster I had never nticed befre. It shwed a shting star and read, "If yu reach fr the stars, yu might at least grab a piece f the mn."
Realizing it was time t thrw ff my shy mask and shw the wrld wh I really was, I said firmly, "Okay, I'll try my best, Mrs. Sally!”
In the fllwing five mnths, Mrs. Sally taught me hw t put n makeup, memrize lines, create cstumes and s n.
