Artificial intelligence（AI）can nw d amazing things. ChatGPT is an AI that can answer questins, tell stries, and d much mre. But it’s very “thirsty”, said a new study.
When ChatGPT wrks, its “hme” - data centers arund the wrld - gets very ht. Wrkers then have t use water t cl them dwn. Cld water ges int pipes near the cmputers at these centers. Because the cmputers are very ht, the water turns int vapr and ges int the air. The water needs t be super clean. If they use seawater, it can eat away the pipes.
If yu ask ChatGPT 20 t 50 questins, it needs t “drink” a 500-milliliter bttle f water. When peple trained ChatGPT, it used 700,000 liters f water, said the study. This is the amunt that is needed t make abut 370 cars.
ChatGPT is nt the nly ne that needs data centers. Everything yu d n the internet needs data centers t wrk. There are mre than 8,000 data centers in the wrld. The number is still grwing. If AI keeps using a lt f water, we may have t “fight” with AI fr water.
AI uses a lt f water t “grw”. Many peple may nt have enugh water t drink because f water shrtage. Hwever, we need better AI t develp better technlgy. Shuld we rethink the use f AI?
What des the writer mean by using “thirsty”?
ChatGPT can d many things at the same time.
ChatGPT needs water while wrking.
ChatGPT keeps learning t answer questins.
ChatGPT wrks just like peple’s muths.
Why des ChatGPT require a significant amunt f water?
T keep its servers in the data centers cl.
T generate mre electricity.
T pwer its AI algrithms（算法）.
T clean its data centers.
Why can’t peple use seawater t cl dwn data centers?
Because seawater is t ht t cl dwn the centers.
Because it is hard fr seawater t becme vapr.
Because seawater is bad fr the pipes.
Because living things in seawater may eat the pipes.
Hw des the writer set ut her idea in Paragraph 3?
By cmparing ne thing with anther.
By thinking f a thing as a persn.
By guessing an idea frm certain infrmatin.
By giving examples t make the pint clear.
A. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd
What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
AI will stp using water smeday t let peple have enugh.
AI may start a war against humans t get mre water in the future.
Peple shuld reduce the number f data centers t save water.
There may be a cmpetitin fr water use between AI and humans.

When taking an elevatr, d yu ften push the “clse” buttn? Yu hpe by pushing it, the elevatr dr will clse faster. But what if the buttn was actually fake?
The frmer directr f the Natinal Elevatr Industry, Karen Penafiel, said that elevatrs’ “clse” buttns are a cmplete trick, and that drs will nt clse any faster n matter hw hard yu push.
In the 1990s, a law called the “Accessibility Act” was passed. It means all elevatrs have t stay pen lng enugh t allw disabled peple t enter. Only firefighters and elevatr wrkers can really use the buttns with special keys.
But the buttns aren’t cmpletely useless. Accrding t psychlgists, fake buttns can make yu feel better. They give yu a sense f cntrl that can help reduce stress. That’s why sme ther buttns in ur lives are fake, t.
Fr example, many ffices have fake thermstats. Peple may feel better when they think they can cntrl the temperature in their wrkspace. Yu were tld that traffic light buttns culd help make traffic signals change faster. But they may nt really wrk either.
Hwever, even when peple knw these little “white lies”, they still push fake buttns. As lng as the drs finally clse, it seems wrthwhile.
Jhn Kunis is a psychlgy prfessr at a university. He said he always pushes the traffic light buttns. “After all, I’ve gt nthing else t d while waiting. S why nt push the buttn n the ff chance that this ne will wrk?”
Why d sme peple push the “clse” buttn in an elevatr?
T make the elevatr dr clse faster.
T ensure the drs clse n time.
T pen the drs fr disabled peple.
T reduce stress.
Accrding t Karen Penafiel,.
elevatrs’ “clse” buttns dn’t really wrk
elevatrs are f pr quality
using an elevatr may nt save yur time
the “clse” buttn f an elevatr nly wrks when yu push it hard
Which f the fllwing is NOT true abut elevatrs?
They were mentined in the Accessibility Act.
All elevatr drs stay pen lng enugh fr disabled peple t enter.
Only firefighters and elevatr wrkers can really use the “clse” buttns.
Elevatr manufacturers will nt put “clse” buttns n the elevatrs.
Psychlgists think that fake buttns.
dn’t help in ur daily livesB. give peple a sense f cntrl
C. may make peple feel unsafeD. can stress peple ut
What d the examples f the traffic light buttns talk abut?
It is imprtant t make traffic light buttns wrk.
Many fake buttns are useless in ur daily lives.
Fake buttns can help peple psychlgically.
Pushing a traffic light buttn is an exciting activity.
D
Ever fund yurself tssing and turning（辗转反侧）when yu’re in a new place? Yu’re nt alne. Researchers at Brwn University in Rhde Island believe they’ve uncvered the reasn behind this cmmn sleep struggle. It turns ut that ne half f yur brain refuses t hit the snze buttn when yu're trying t get sme shuteye in an unfamiliar envirnment.
Their findings, published in Current Bilgy, shed light n what many call “first-night influence”. Yuka Sasaki, ne f the study’s authrs, even shared a saying frm Japan：“If yu change yur bed, yu can’t sleep.”
The researchers embarked n an experiment invlving 35 vlunteers spending tw separate nights in a labratry, spaced（间隔）a week apart. What they discvered was truly fascinating. On the first night, as participants drifted int deep sleep, the left half f their brains buzzed with activity, vershadwing the right half.
But hld n t yur sleep masks - there are mysteries yet t be unraveled（解开）. The study didn’t mnitr brain waves all thrugh the night.

Plus, why the left side f the brain is the star f the shw, especially during the initial phase f deep sleep, remains an enigma（谜）.

In fact, accrding t this study, that heightened brain activity, particularly n the first night, may be the main reasn behind thse restless evenings when all yu lng fr is a gd, refreshing mrning wake-up.
