I'm a 66-year-ld harp (竖琴) student. Others in my class are 5,7,10,14…The next ldest is 30. I fancy myself the sage elder, hping that they see me as a surce f inspiratin -“Yu're never t ld t learn.” r “If she can d it, I can, t!”
After 4 years f learning t play, it was time fr ur first in-persn harp perfrmance! Perfrmers sat amng the guests befrehand, chatting and drawing excitement and energy frm the full-f-anticipatin rm. One by ne, my fellw students went -each playing superbly. I was prud f them like they were my wn kids. Then, it was my turn. I was still relaxed and cnfident.
But I struggled frm the start. I kept my fingers mving n the strings, but the meldy(旋律) was all wrng. Luckily, the harp is a frgiving instrument. Even wrng ntes can sund meldic. But if anyne knew hw the sngs were suppsed t sund, they'd have knwn I was messing it up. Suddenly, glrius sunlight shne thrugh the cncert hall's windws. Nw I culdn't see! But the shw must g n, right?
When I gt ttally lst in the middle f bth f my pieces, I thught ,“I dn't knw what this is anymre, but it sunds kind f nice!” Smetimes, wnderful creatins can be brn ut f panicked imprvisatin (即兴创作). I kept thinking, “Make a jyful nise, regardless!”
The 8 minutes felt like 8 hurs.
Being the eldest in the rm ften makes peple assume yu're the best r wisest. The truth, especially at that perfrmance, was far different. But I wuld have awarded myself a gld star fr the curage t start playing a new instrument at 62,and then perfrm in frnt f a large audience.
Making music knws n age. Thinking back n my first perfrmance, I realize that my lengthy life experience has taught me that the shw must g n n matter what wrrisme wrld plitics, health scares, uncertain ecnmic times, r difficult persnal relatinships are ccurring. Life's music is playing! It's my jb t shw up and keep trying.
24. What des the underlined wrd “sage” in paragraph 1 prbably mean?

In experiments invlving buncy balls, plastic bttles and a high-speed camera, researchers in Chile discvered that it's pssible t cntrl the height f a cntainer's bunce by swirling (旋动) the water inside.
If this experiment sunds like smething ut f a scial media challenge, that's because it is. Pabl Gutiérrez, a physicist at Chile's O'Higgins University, became interested in buncing cntainers after his sn shwed him the viral “bttle flip” challenge: thrwing a half-full plastic bttle s it flies end ver end and sticks the landing. “Pabl became very gd at this challenge,” laughs Gutiérrez's c-authr Lenard Grdill, “He was thrwing a lt f bttles.”
S the physicists and their research team tk bttle flipping int the labratry. They glued halves f rubber balls t the bttle's bttm t enhance their bunce. And they made a key bservatin: bttles they'd swirled befre releasing bunced far less, prbably thanks t fluid dynamics(流体力学). T test this, the physicists built a device that culd swirl and drp bttles with scientific precisin. Indeed, the faster the water was swirled, the lwer a bttle's bunce.
Like car passengers during a tight turn, swirling water inside a bttle gets pushed t the sides f the cntainer, frcing it upward evenly alng the walls. When the bttle hits the grund, the water curses dwn tward a single pint at the center f the bttle's base. All f the fluid tries t pass thrugh that pint but can't. With nwhere else t g, the water flies back upward. Mst f the falling bttle's mmentum (动量) gets redirected int this vertical jet (垂直喷射流) rather than int a bunce, lwering the impact and explaining why swirled bttles tend t stick their landings when “flipped”.
Tad d Trusctt, a fluid physicist in Saudi Arabia, says he'd be interested t see whether the effect wrks fr stickier fluids r fr larger cntainer sizes. Such findings culd perhaps be useful fr reducing crash damage t fluid-filled cntainers like fuel tanks. It culd als make fr an afternn f fun at hme. The researchers encurage readers t give a bttle a swirl and see the result fr themselves.
28. What did Pabl's sn shw him?
A. Hw a cntainer's bunce was cntrlled.
B. Hw plastic bttles were flipped in the air.
C. Hw bttles culd be thrwn as high as pssible.
D. Hw a half-filled water bttle made a gd landing.
29. What did the physicists d t carry ut the experiment?
A. They chse larger plastic cntainers.
B. They replaced water with sticky fluids.
C. They pured mre water int the bttles.
D. They stuck smething t the bttle's bttm.
30. Hw is paragraph 4 develped?
A. By sharing a persnal experiment.
B. By cmparing varieties f water bttles.
C. By describing a bunce-reducing prcess.
D. By giving an example f a car's tight turn.
31. What wuld Tad d like t see?
A. The publicatin f the findings.
B. The great fun f bttle flipping.
C. The applicatin f the experiment.
D. The imprvement f fluid-filled cntainers.

I'm used t seeing small leaps in technlgical prgress, but ccasinally, there are things that will still shck me. In 2022, a cmpany called OpenAI released a truly jaw-drpping demnstratin f a new AI technlgy that feels almst like technlgy has skipped ahead by a few generatins.
The AI technlgy is called ChatGPT, a cmputer prgram that can understand and respnd t human language. It is trained n a lt f text, s it can understand what peple are saying and respnd in a way that sunds like a real persn. What's even mre amazing is that ChatGPT seems frighteningly human in its ability t understand questins and answer them cmpetently. “Write a stry abut Lenard da Vinci in the style f Rald Dahl,” yu can ask it, and it'll spin up a pretty gd children's stry.
One area where I've fund ChatGPT t be enrmusly useful is its ability t write cmputer cde. This has particularly amazed me. When yu write cde, it has t be very precise and carefully structured. But when I asked it t write a prgram that wuld put sme data int a database fr me, in a particularly cmplex way, within secnds it generated smething that wuld have taken me hurs t d manually.
ChatGPT is nt really cmpletely human, hwever. Fr example, it smetimes generates things that sund true, but are actually just nnsense. This is because f the way the AI learns thrugh pattern recgnitin. There's n real intelligence perating there –it is just repeating smething based n what it has “read” befre. ChatGPT is better at sme tasks than thers: it can write a brilliant invitatin email, but its ability t rhyme leaves a lt t be desired.
And this is why I'm pretty cnvinced that ChatGPT is ging t change the wrld, sner rather than later. It's already hugely impressive, but what exists at the mment is just a demnstratin. Once the same AI is built int ther apps and can cnnect t the live internet t learn mre, it will becme even mre sphisticated(复杂巧妙的). Our cmputers will n lnger be just ur wrd prcessrs, but ur writing partners t.
32. What can we learn abut ChatGPT frm paragraph 2?
A. It can understand peple's emtins.
B. It reacts like a real persn during talks.
C. It is unable t generate riginal cntents.
D. It frightens peple much in different ways.
33. What is particularly amazing abut ChatGPT's ability t write a prgram?
A. Its diversity. B. Its efficiency. C. Its structure. D. Its precisin.
34. What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. ChatGPT has sme limitatins.
B. There's n real intelligence in the wrld.
C. ChatGPT learns thrugh pattern recgnitin.
D. AI thinks almst the same way as humans d.
35. What is the authr's attitude tward ChatGPT?
A. Psitive. B. Oppsed. C. Dubtful. D. Unclear.

I wrte my first pem. My mther read the little pem and began t cry ut, “Buddy, I can't believe it. What a wnderful pem!” My eyes twinkled when she pured ut her praise. “What time will Dad be hme?” I asked. I culd hardly wait t shw him, expecting the praise frm an editr f Times.
