Fr nearly 30 years, the Arkansas Cancer Clinic prvided life-saving treatment fr thse wh culdn’t always
affrd it. Patients in Pine Bluff, especially thse with limited incme, nce had t travel mre than 50 miles t
receive cancer care. Dr. Atiq made it his missin t bring treatment clser t hme — and t make it available t
everyne. Even when patients culdn’t pay right away — r at all — they were never turned away. He fcused
nly n patient care, leaving the payment details t his ffice staff.
It wasn’t until Dr. Atiq and his wife started clsing the clinic that they reviewed patient accunts mre clsely.
What they fund deeply trubled them. Sme patients were struggling t make even small payments — $5 r $10
at a time — n large balances that had grwn ver mnths r years. While many f his patients had sme frm f
insurance, the cst f cancer treatment ften left them with high medical debt. Sme were elderly, thers were
wrking multiple jbs t stay aflat — even while ging thrugh chemtherapy (化疗).
“There has always been an element f cncern in my mind abut ur fellw citizens, fellw human beings
having t wrry abut paying fr services when they are sick,” Dr. Atiq said.
That realizatin led Dr. Atiq t a life-changing decisin: He wuld cancel all remaining debts as a final gift t
his patients. Each patient received a persnal hliday card frm Dr. Atiq that delivered the news. The nte thanked
them fr trusting him with their care and let them knw their unpaid bills had been cleared.
The dctr’s cancellatin f patient debt wasn’t just a headline — it was a reality fr dzens f families. The
debts ranged frm a few hundred dllars t tens f thusands. But it wasn’t abut the amunt fr Dr. Atiq and his
family. It was abut ding the right thing.
“We are frtunate that we didn’t need the mney,” he explained. “S we decided t just cancel and give up the
debt — and we did.”
What did Dr. Atiq’s clinic bring t thse patients?
A. Financial aid. B. Emplyment. C. Cnvenience. D. Medical husing.
What des the underlined part “stay aflat” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Pay in full. B. Make ends meet.
C. Keep wrking hard. D. Reject medical bills.
What made Dr. Atiq decide t cancel the debt?
A. Awareness f his patients’ truble. B. The financial state f the clinic.
C. The strng demand frm the patients. D. His patients’ trust in him.
What des Dr. Atiq’s wrds shw in the last paragraph?
A. A penny saved is a penny earned. B. Mney makes the wrld g rund.

Mre trees will cl the climate and cntrl fires, but mainly if planted in ht, wet areas, accrding t a new
UC Riverside (UCR) study. The study, published in Climate and Atmspheric Science, fund that tree planting is
generally a net psitive fr the climate because it helps pull warming carbn ut f the atmsphere. Hwever, lcal
effects n temperature nt related t carbn varied significantly by regin. At higher latitudes (纬度), trees culd
have a slight heating effect, while the ppsite is true in ht, wet areas.
“Our study fund greater cling effects frm planting in warm, wet regins, where trees grw thrughut the
year. Trees there nt nly pull carbn dixide frm the air, they als cl while releasing water vapr,” said study
first authr and UCR graduate student James Gmez. “It’s nt that planting elsewhere desn’t help — it des —
but these warm areas ffer the strngest returns per tree.”
These findings mirrr the results f an earlier UCR study that shws planting trees culd cl the surface f
the planet even mre than previusly expected. While that study factred in the chemical effects f trees interacting
with the atmsphere, this study places mre emphasis n understanding the physical effects f tree planting.
These effects include “tree sweating”, r transpiratin (蒸腾). Tree rts absrb water frm the sil, which
then travels up thrugh the trunk and int the leaves. When pres (气孔) in the leaves pen up s the tree can take
in carbn dixide fr phtsynthesis (光合作用), sme f the water in the leaves evaprates int the air. This
prcess cls the air n Earth’s surface and cls the tree, t.
“It’s just like the way sweating cls yur bdy,” Gmez said. “In warm, wet areas, there is cnstantly water
available fr trees, and that increases transpiratin.”
Trees can als reduce the amunt f sunlight that reaches the planet’s surface. As they release water vapr, the
air can becme mre humid. Mre humidity can mean mre cluds, and water vapr itself can absrb sme sun.
Bth f these effects reduce the amunt f sun that reaches the grund, giving a cling effect.
What des the study reveal abut tree planting in different regins?
A. Carbn absrptin is weaker in high latitudes than ht areas.
B. Climate benefits verall, but temperature effects vary reginally.
C. It is nly effective in ht, wet areas and has n benefits elsewhere.
D. It has identical cling effects regardless f the latitude where trees are planted.
Hw des the transpiratin prcess mainly wrk?
A. By pening leaf pres t let water ut.
B. By changing sunlight int fd fr the tree.
C. By adding water t the air withut frming cluds.
D. By pulling water up frm the sil thrugh the trunk.
Ht, wet areas have the best cling effect because f ______.
A mre leaf pres and less water in the air
B. cnstant water supply and slwer tree grwth
C. greater carbn strage and less sun buncing back
D. year-rund water release and mre cluds frming
Which is the best title fr the text?
A. Why All Tree Planting Helps the Climate
B. The Chemistry f Trees: Beynd Carbn Strage
C. Where t Plant Trees fr Maximum Climate Benefits
D. Trees and Carbn: A New Lk at Frest Climate Effects

T average peple, it must seem as if the field f artificial intelligence (AI) is making great prgress. Even a
high-level manager in a high-tech cmpany went s far as t think that the attempt t create AI that has the
flexibility and resurcefulness f human intelligence — knwn as artificial general intelligence, r AGI, has
reached a pint where the game is ver. Dn’t be fled. Machines may smeday be as smart as peple and
perhaps even smarter, but the game is far frm ver. There is still a large amunt f wrk t be dne in making
machines that truly can cmprehend and reasn abut the wrld arund them. What we need right nw is less
psturing and mre basic research.
At present, AI is making prgress — synthetic (合成的) images lk mre and mre realistic, and speech
recgnitin can ften wrk in nisy envirnments — but we are still likely decades away frm general-purpse
and human-level AI that can understand the true meanings f articles and vides r deal with unexpected bstacles
and interruptins. The field is stuck n precisely the same challenges that academic scientists have been pinting
ut fr years: getting AI t be reliable and getting it t cpe with unusual circumstances.
Unfrtunately, the fact that these systems still fail t wrk reliably and struggle with nvel circumstances is
usually buried in the fine print. One system, fr instance, wrked well n all the tasks the high-tech cmpany
reprted but rarely as well as ther cntemprary systems.
Althugh deep learning has advanced the ability f machines t recgnize patterns in data, it has three majr
faults. The patterns that it learns are superficial (表面的), nt cnceptual. The results it creates are hard t interpret
and difficult t use in the cntext f ther prcesses, such as memry and reasning. As Harvard University
cmputer scientist Leslie Valiant nted, “The central challenge ging frward is t unify the frmulatin (规划) f
learning and reasning.” Given these limitatins, it’s time fr AI researchers t cncentrate n building systems
that can learn and reasn, nt just chase media attentin.
Hw des the authr develp paragraph 1?
A. By prviding statistics.
B. By making assumptins.
C. By supprting the average peple’s views.
D. By cntrasting the public idea with reality.
Which statement best fits the current AI?
A. It is recgnized widely.
B. It is facing reliability issues.
C. It can deal with unusual circumstances.
D. It can understand the true meaning f the text.
What is the authr’s main purpse in writing the last paragraph?
A. T highlight AI’s strengths.
B. T redirect AI research fcus.
C. T shw AI’s memry prcesses.
D. T praise the wrk f AI researchers.
What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Treat AI Reasnably
B. AI Shuld Be Suspected
C. AI Is Making Great Prgress
D. Get AI t Recgnize Patterns in Data

On the third flr f ur schl, there was a dr mst peple ignred. Its faded blue paint and metal handle
lked rdinary, but a small handwritten sign beside it read “Please Be Cautius”. Fr me, a student desperate fr
sme place ther than a classrm, it felt strangely like an invitatin.
One Octber afternn, I finally turned the handle. Behind the dr, a narrw staircase led upward, and the air
smelt faintly f dust and rain. At the tp f the staircase, there was anther dr leading t a rm and a hidden
garden.
Smene had turned part f the rm int a small greenhuse. Pts f different shapes std alng lw walls.
A sheet f clear plastic rfing let sunlight pur in, warming the air. It was messy, but mre alive than any
classrm dwnstairs.
Near the entrance sat a watering can and a ntebk with muddy fingerprints n the cver. On the first page,
in uneven handwriting, smene had written, “Rftp Garden — if yu’re here, yu’re respnsible.” Seeing it, I
felt my chest, which had been tight all day, finally lsen a little.
I started visiting almst every afternn. I watered the sil that had gne dry, picked ff yellwing leaves, and
watched tiny green shts push thrugh the dirt. The mre I cared fr the plants, the quieter my thughts became.
Then, n a cld mrning in December, a new ntice appeared n the blue dr: “The passage will be clsed.” I
frze in the hallway, staring blankly at the printed wrds. Fr everyne else, it was just anther annuncement. Fr
me, it felt as if the nly pen sky I had left at schl was abut t be lcked away.
Fr a day r tw, I tried t pretend it didn’t matter. I tld myself it was just sme plants, just a place. But deep
dwn I felt sad, because it was the ne space in schl that didn’t ask me t perfrm, nly t care.

Unable t accept lsing the rftp garden, I finally decided t speak up. That evening, I made a simple
supprt sheet with phts f the garden and a shrt nte abut hw it truly helped students relax. During the break,
I walked frm desk t desk, my vice shaking at first but grwing steadier as classmates, even thse I barely talked
t, signed their names. By Friday, the page was crwded with signatures. When the bell rang, I carried it t the
schl ffice and handed it t the administratrs.
A week later, when the rftp garden finally repened, I pushed the dr pen. Students were already there,
kneeling by the beds, with sil n their hands and laughter slipping ut in sft waves. A new sign read “Rftp
Garden — Student Space”, and next t it hung ur supprt sheet, nw neatly pinned t a bard. Only then did I
realize it was nt just my hiding spt anymre. Had I stayed silent, the garden wuld have been gne; instead, it
