Between at least 1995 and 2010, I was seen t be insane just because I was speaking in public abut the “Internet prphecy（预言 ）”. Artificial Intelligence （AI） is n lnger a nvelty-I even believe it may have existed in its fullness in a very distant and frgtten past. Nevertheless, it is nw the tpic f the mment.
Its rigin began in ancient times with the stries f artificial beings that naturally had intelligence, r even cnsciusness, by their creatrs.
Althugh the term “Artificial Intelligence” was cined in 1956, the cncept f creating intelligent machines dates back t ancient times in human histry. Since ancient times, humanity has develped a fascinatin with building intelligent tls that culd imitate r reprduce human intelligence.
Thrughut the centuries, the idea f building intelligent machines cntinued t evlve, driven by advances in science and technlgy. In the 19th century, scientists and inventrs such as Charles Babbage and Ada Lvelace made significant cntributins t the develpment f cmputing and the early cncepts f prgramming. Their ideas paved the way fr the creatin f machines that culd prcess infrmatin lgically and perfrm cmplex tasks.
It was in the secnd half f the 20th century that AI, as a science, began t establish itself. With the cming f mdern cmputers and increasing prcessing pwer, scientists started explring algrithms（算法） and techniques t imitate aspects f human intelligence. The first experiments with expert systems and machine learning pened up new perspectives and pssibilities.
After abut 60 years in a hidden state, AI is starting t have its mment. A range f applicatins in varius fields, including vice and image recgnitin, natural language understanding, and autnmus cars, have awakened the “giant”. It is the rebirth f AI in an ideal area fr this purpse. The perfect mment!
We, as human beings, will nt rest until we unlck all the mysteries and secrets f existence. It is in ur nature!
32. What did the peple arund the authr think f him at the beginning f this century?
A. He was a talented inventr. B. He went crazy in thinking.
C. He was gd at making prphecies. D. He had dubt abut the future f AI.
33. What des the underlined wrd “cined” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Cntrlled. B. Reserved. C. Invented. D. Abandned.
34. What is a cnsequence f the use f AI accrding t the text?
A. Mral decline. B. Lack f electricity.
C. Envirnmental harm. D. The ppularity f self-drive cars.
35. What can be the best title fr the text?

I enjyed the simple pleasure f sitting at my rm every evening and writing my five entries. I entered the names f new friends my family met and the musicals we saw tgether, the new restaurants we tried, the tuching things that my friend said t me, the exciting things that they were ding, and the encuraging cmments frm my parents. The wrds spilled n and n frm my pen.
Hwever, my life changed quickly and unexpectedly. On a Saturday afternn in early February, there was a knck n my dr that changed my life frever.

I decided t take n the challenge f being thankful and psitive in the midst f my srrw. I didn't want t be the kind f persn wh gave up n life. Once again I sat dwn at the end f the day and tried t find five things that I was grateful fr and write them in my jurnal. What had been s easy befre my father's death became a nightly struggle. What had been a jyful family atmsphere was replaced by silence and tears, and when I tried t write what I was grateful fr, my mind was filled with the sadness in my life. Thugh trapped in the sea f srrw, I was eager that gratitude wuld shine int my heart like a ray f sunlight.
One evening, I remembered crying and writing “I’ m glad that this day is ver. ” five times. These new entries int my jurnal were like a baby's first steps. They were shaking but determined, and ften ended with a fall. Hwever, I kept n and slwly my gratefulness fr life returned. By making myself write smething every day, I frced my sul t see and feel the gd mixed within my pain. I still cried int my pillw sme nights but I began t understand that I was lucky t have s many memries that were wrth crying abut.

Thank yu fr jining ur wellness （健康） wrkshp. I'm Richard Simmns. Befre we begin, I want t share sme advice. Staying active is essential fr a healthy lifestyle, but it's imprtant t avid cmmn wrkut mistakes. The first errr is the lack f variety in exercising. Engaging in the same rutine can lead t a fitness plateau（停滞期）, where yu see n prgress. T prevent this, I suggest changing yur wrkut plans bimnthly. D diverse activities like yga t imprve flexibility, weightlifting t build strength, r Pilates（普拉提） t enhance cre stability. Variety nt nly prevents bredm but als imprves yur verall fitness. It can help t develp different muscle grups.
Anther cmmn errr is vertraining. It's imprtant t understand that rest is just as crucial fr muscle recvery and grwth as the wrkut itself. It's nt always abut the intensity r frequency f yur wrkuts. I recmmend aiming fr tw intense sessins per week. On the days yu're nt pushing yurself hard, cnsider engaging in lighter activity, such as fast walking r leisurely cycling. This apprach balances physical effrt with recvery. Nnetheless, it's advisable t have at least ne day f cmplete rest weekly t allw yur bdy t fully recver. Remember, wellness is a marathn; listen t yur bdy and adjust yur activities accrdingly.
Dear Mr Brwn,
Yurs,

One evening, I remembered crying and writing “I'm glad that this day is ver. ” five times.
