My family had a rm that we called the Library, but even back then I knew it was just ur dining rm with a few bkshelves arund a small table. When I was a kid, I was tld that all these bks are precius things— they must never be flded, bent, r brken. Any dirty marks r ntes n a bk are banned and ur reading shuld always be a clean activity since it’s what separates us frm the beasts. Preservatin f all texts was the mst imprtant thing in the wrld.
Years later, when I began reading everything I culd in my early teens, I tipted int the Library ne day and discvered, t my hrrr, that all the bks were still extremely new. It was rw after rw, shelf after shelf. Smething clicked and I knew I had fund a hrrible secret abut my family: they had bught these bks t be displayed like jewellery, rather than t be read.
In that mment I knew that all thse silly rules arund reading and bks were dead wrng and that there
was nthing sadder in this wrld than an unused bk— clean, withut any trace f the reader at all.
Nw here’s the secret: gd reading is messy reading. If I want the kind f nvel that gets deep int my bnes, the srt f nn-fictin mystery that stays with me years after the fact, then I must bring sticky ntes (便利贴) and let my bks get scuffed (磨损) alng the way. I shuld always walk away frm a bk with visible prgress f my reading.
After years f treating my bks as if they ught t be preserved in a museum, I nw believe that yu shuld hnur the bks by breaking them. Read them all s messily! Truly read the bks, anytime and anywhere, n matter hw much we f ld them, bend them, r tear them! Thrw them int yur backpack r leave them pen by the side f yur bed. Dn’t wrry abut stains r trn edges after years f reading. That is what a bk is. That is what a bk is fr.
Where did the authr’s family stre their bks?
In the study.B．In the dining rm.
C．In the bedrm.D．In the living rm.
What des the authr imply abut his family’s bk cllectin?
It was piled in a mess.B．It was mainly fr decratin.
C．It was large and varius.D．It was kept fr a gd price.
What des the underlined part “Smething clicked” mean?
A．I clicked the muse.B．I suddenly felt puzzled. C．Smething made a sund. D．Smething ccurred t me.
Which pinin may the authr agree n?
Gd bks are valuable jewelry.
Bks are the ladder f human prgress.
Read thusands f bks regardless f their state.
Prtect bks as they’ re the surce f knwledge.

Shrtly after Snapchat released its My AI chatbt t all users last May, Diana Lee, a mther frm East Prairie, Missuri, tld her 13-year-ld daughter t stay away frm the feature.
“It’s a temprary slutin until I knw mre abut it and can set sme healthy bundaries and guidelines,” said Lee, wh wrks at a sftware cmpany. She wrries abut hw My AI presents itself t yung users like her daughter n Snapchat.
My AI is pwered by the viral AI chatbt tl ChatGPT and like ChatGPT, it can ffer recmmendatins, answer questins and talk with users. But Snapchat’s versin has sme key differences: users can custmize the chatbt’s name, design a custm avatar (定制头像) fr it, and bring it int cnversatins with friends.
The net effect is that talking with Snapchat’s chatbt may feel less impersnal than visiting ChatGPT’s
website. It als may be less clear yu’re talking t a cmputer
“I dn’t think I’m prepared t knw hw t teach my kid hw t emtinally separate humans and machines when they essentially lk the same frm her pint f view,” Lee said. “I just think there is a really clear line Snapchat is crssing.”
The new tl is facing ppsitins nt nly frm parents but als frm sme Snapchat users wh are flding the app with bad reviews in the app stre and criticisms n scial media ver privacy cncerns, “weird” exchanges and an inability t remve the feature frm their chat feed unless they pay fr unlcking it.
While sme may find value in the tl, the mixed reactins hint at the risks cmpanies face in launching new generative AI technlgy t their prducts, and particularly in prducts like Snapchat, whse users skew ( 偏向) yunger.
Snapchat was an early launch partner when OpenAI pened up access t ChatGPT t third-party businesses, with many mre expected t fllw. Almst vernight, Snapchat has frced sme families and lawmakers t deal with questins that may have seemed theretical nly mnths ag.
Hw des Snapchat’s My AI differ frm ChatGPT accrding t the text?
It cannt answer users’ questins.
It requires payment fr all users.
It clearly identifies itself as a cmputer prgram.
Users can persnalize it and add it t friend chats.
What cncerns Diana Lee abut My AI?
Its high subscriptin cst.
Its technical failures in cnversatins.
Its unclear human-machine bundaries fr teens.
Its cmpetitin with ther chatbts like ChatGPT.
What is paragraph 6 mainly abut?
Public resistance and varius cmplaints targeting My AI.
The technical advantages f My AI ver traditinal chatbts. C．Gvernment regulatins n scial media features.
D．Age characteristics f Snapchat’s primary users.
What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
OpenAI limits ChatGPT access t nly a few businesses. B．AI cncerns have suddenly becme urgent real-life issues.
C．Families and lawmakers had fully discussed AI prblems earlier. D．Snapchat’s actin will discurage ther cmpanies frm using AI.

The walls f failure surrunded me. I saw my teacher’s eyes fixed n my every mve. My mm’s blank expressin betrayed ne thing: disappintment. “He is nt giving his full ptential,” I heard my teacher say. I stared, afraid, ashamed, and determined. My determinatin was nt t excel and put my best effrt int imprvement; my determinatin tld me t give up.
It was my first year in the United States. I was a fifth grader, and everything arund me seemed alien. My native language had been Spanish, and after cming t the United States frm Puert Ric because f serius family prblems, I just felt like hiding inside my metaphrical (隐喻的) shell. The schl itself was bright and very welcming. The bright walls with clred dinsaurs, dragn and cartns were appealing, and the distinct smell f crayns, play dugh (面团) , and chalks made the place feel like my hme.
Then why did I have such a negative attitude? It was nt because my teachers did nt supprt me. They were willing t stay after schl with me t help me learn the cncepts. It was nt because my classmates did nt want me there. Mst f them invited me t sit with them at lunch. It was nt because I culd nt talk t anyne; I had a bilingual teacher with me all day, helping me.
My negative attitude was the result f frustratin and lack f interest in study. N matter hw hard I tried, the mysterius cde knwn as “English” wuld nt take rt in my brain. I tried fr hurs n end t imprve my grammar, prnunciatin, and vcabulary, but the unknwn language “did nt want t be learned”.

That afternn, after the parent-teacher cnference finished, my mm and I were n the way hme. The
silence between us was deafening, filled nly with the hum f the car engine and the ccasinal hnk f a passing vehicle. Mm’s face was etched with cncern, but her vice was gentle as she spke. “I knw this is tugh fr yu, but remember, we’re in this tgether. Yur teachers see ptential in yu, and I d t. I prmise t be yur partner in this jurney.” Her wrds were like a warm hug, melting away the chill f my self-dubt. I ndded, tears welling up in my eyes, determined t break thrugh the walls f failure and prve them all wrng.
After that day, I changed myself gradually. I embraced the challenge f mastering English, turning my frustratin int fuel fr imprvement. At schl, I actively participated in discussins, even if my sentences were halting and filled with mistakes. Slwly but surely, I nticed prgress. My classmates nticed the change t, and their smiles f inclusin warmed my heart. The walls f failure began t crumble, replaced by a sense f accmplishment and jy. I realized that giving up was never an ptin; determinatin and perseverance were the keys t unlcking my full ptential.
