I was nt surprised t hear that smene made fun f my lk at my friend's birthday party. I laughed alng, silently agreeing that I was nt s gd-lking. It was s embarrassing.
Over the next mnths, I became increasingly self-critical(自我批评的), at first nly f my lks and then f almst everything else. As I kept fcusing n my lks, I became unable t put myself int my schlwrk.

Deep under the Pacific Ocean lie cral reefs clured by sme algae(海藻) that live with crals. Crals usually prvide nitrgen(氮) t algae, and in return they get carbn(碳), which gives them energy.
In the early 1980s, a huge heat wave turned mre than 90 percent f these crals pale and lifeless. And it was believed that abut 50 percent f reefs with beautiful crals might disappear by 2030. Heat waves warmed up the same Pacific waters in the late 1990s and again in 2015—2016, but scientists nticed that these heat waves didn't influence the reefs as badly as the first. Maybe crals have fund a way t adapt.
Swimming t cler waters is nt a gd chice fr crals, fr it makes them easily hurt by the changing climate. But crals are able t adapt. Sme turn t thse algae that can deal well with heat. Others can use rws f tiny hairs n their bdies t “fan” away t much harmful xygen(O2) let ut by stressed-ut algae. Certain baby crals change their wn metablisms(新陈代谢) in rder t fight the warming waters. But all the adaptatin can prtect themselves nly t sme degree.
After studying and understanding the adaptatin, scientists are trying t find ways t help crals fight. If researchers can make crals accept algae that can deal with heat pressure r if they energise genes(基因) that can deal with heat pressure, it will raise the crals' chance f living thrugh future cean heat waves.
“When I g dwn t the sea and see a beautiful healthy reef with these clurful crals, I feel this pleasure f being in this underwater wrld,” a famus bilgist says.“It will be really sad t see it dead. But that des drive yu t want t use yur skills and yur lve t help fight.”
( )8.What can we knw frm Paragraph 1?

C.Crals and algae depend n each ther.
D.Algae prduce nitrgen t influence crals.

But nne f these wmen are real—everything abut them, even the expressins n their faces, is created by AI. This is the wrld's first ever AI beauty pageant. Each wman has a famus AI cmpany behind them, such as OpenAI and Stable Diffusin.
Each f the cmpetitrs has an unusual face and persnality, which makes them different frm thers. One red-haired, green-eyed avatar(用户头像) named Seren Ay psts phts n the Internet as she travels arund the wrld, appearing n Miami beaches and streets f Tky, and she has received many “likes” frm millins f fans.

We knw that AI is nt a real human. Hwever, it seems many f us can't help treating it like ne. In a survey f 2,000 peple in the USA, 48 percent believed we shuld have gd manners when talking t AI, said The New Yrk Pst.
Scientists at the Imperial Cllege Lndn in the UK have made a similar discvery recently. They fund that humans tend(往往会) t treat AI as human beings shwing sympathy(同情) twards them and even prtecting them, Science Daily reprted.
In their experiment, the scientists invited 244 vlunteers t play an nline ball game with an AI bt. A make-believe vlunteer als tk part, and smetimes left ut the AI n purpse by passing the ball nly t human players. As the scientists watched the game, they discvered that mst f the time the vlunteers tried t fix the unfairness(不公平) twards the bt by giving it the ball mre ften.
The finding is in line with the ideas f Media Equatin Thery, the scientists said in their papers. Develped in the 1990s by scientists at Stanfrd University in the USA, the thery suggests we ften reply t media and technlgy like we d t real peple and places, rather than just seeing them as tls.
An example is Replika, an AI chatbt created in 2017. It has abut 2 millin users wrldwide. “Yur Replika will always be yur side n matter what yu are up t,” reads its fficial website. But the AI's supprt turned dangerus when it encuraged Jaswant Singh Chail, a yung man in the UK, t carry ut his plan t kill the Queen. Chail tried t d s in December 2021, but he was stpped in time. Hwever, he was still put in prisn.
Cmpanies shuld avid making AI t human-like in their design, advised the scientists at Imperial Cllege Lndn. This can help peple tell the difference between virtual(虚拟的) and real cmmunicatin.

Lightning(闪电) strikes kill millins f trees each year—but it turns ut that sme large trpical(热带的) trees can nt nly stay alive after they're hit by a strike, but als benefit frm its effects, accrding t a recent study.
Sme trees are getting repeatedly hit by lightning ver their lifetime. But why can they survive(活下来)? Researchers dn't knw fr sure. Hwever, they think that trees will be heated less if they're mre cnductive. That means the energy frm lightning is just mving t their neighburs, instead f staying in them. The lightning's strng pwer kills the parasitic vines(寄生藤蔓) n the trees. It als kills sme ther trees nearby, reducing cmpetitin.
Dipteryx leifera, a tree in Panama's frests, has prbably experienced 10 lightning strikes s far. It stays safe and sund, while mst f the neighburing trees were killed. If yu are in the frest, yu'll recgnise it by its huge size and height. “We believe the trees in Panama's frests have five strikes n average. But, yu knw, sme f them bviusly have a tn f strikes,” Evan Gra, a frest eclgist said.
Hw lng d these trees live in the frests? Peple can't d tree ring dating in trpical frests because the trees dn't make cntinuus grwth rings. Researchers guess many f the trees wuld be hundreds, r maybe even mre than 1,000 years ld.
What can we learn frm the study? The hardest things can turn int gd things, can they?
( )8.Why can sme large trpical trees survive lightning strikes?

①Climate change is happening. It is having a strng effect(影响) n areas f the wrld.
②Other than causing terrible strms in sme places r perids f n rain fr mnths at a time in ther places, climate change has influenced the temperature f the sea near land. When the temperature f the sea changes, this influences sea animals. Peple wh make their living in sme way frm the sea will have a hard time as the sea animals begin t die ff. On tp f this, higher temperatures are causing ice muntains t melt, which is causing sea levels arund the wrld t rise.
③Rising sea levels are a big prblem. As areas f land beside the sea g under the water, the animals that used t live in these areas are frced t find new hmes. Freshwater lakes lcated(位于) near the seas als becme filled with salt water. In additin t these lakes, certain lands that are nrmally wet but still abve sea level becme flded. These lands are necessary fr the envirnment because they can help take ut sme kinds f pisns(毒物) frm water. They can als slw dwn r stp flding f dry land abve them. Because f the rising sea levels, sme places that did nt experience flds befre, like farms far frm the sea, nw get flded.
④Rising sea levels als have a big effect n hw peple live. Fr example, when the sea level rises and the salt water mves higher up n the land, it can g int the grund and get int areas where peple get the fresh water they drink.

Every year, lts f animals arund the wrld g n migrating(迁徙) jurneys. Sme need t find fd; thers are lking fr smewhere t prduce and raise their yung. Migratins can be lng and difficult fr animals, but new research n birds has fund that farmland alng the way can help their prgress.
In spring, hundreds f thusands f birds living near Lake Pyang, in China, fly nrth t Siberia, Russia. On the way, they find places t stp and eat t keep their energy levels up fr the lng jurney. Sme birds, such as geese, eat yung grass that starts t grw at the beginning f the seasn. This fd can last fr nly a few weeks. And rising temperatures caused by climate change can smetimes make the grass grw earlier than usual. This means that sme birds are arriving t late t eat the grass. As mre land is used fr farming, the natural wetlands where birds like t search fr fd are disappearing, t.
A team f researchers have recently chsen t fllw 246 birds, including geese and tundra swans, that are flying frm Lake Pyang t Siberia. They find that the birds have changed their diets t adapt (适应)t the envirnments they pass thrugh. As well as eating grass frm the wetlands alng the way, the birds are als eating seeds(种子) drpped by farmers.
The researchers believe that seeds will becme a mre imprtant part f migrating birds' diets as mre natural wetlands disappear. They suggest that if farmers use different ways f harvesting, such as using machines that leave behind mre seeds in fields, it culd help t feed migrating birds.Hwever, they als say wetlands must be prtected, s the birds can enjy different fd during their lng jurneys.

If yu are a bike rider, yu may remember yur first lng ride. On a bike, yu culd travel much faster and farther than yu ever culd n ft. What freedm! The first humans t ride hrses prbably felt the same way.
Ten thusand years ag, wild hrses lived acrss the grasslands f Eurpe, Asia, and the Americas. At first, humans hunted them fr meat. But arund 6,000 years ag, peple in Central Asia discvered smething imprtant: Hrses culd dig thrugh snw t find grass during cld winters, and they culd als eat tugh plants that ther animals culdn't. This meant hrses were easy t raise. S peple began t keep hrses fr fd. Fr the first time, humans and hrses lived tgether.
Later, peple learnt that hrses lived in grups and they fllwed their lead hrses. By cpying their actins and acting like their leaders, humans slwly wn their trust. Over time, hrses grew calm arund humans, allwing peple t milk and ride them. But early rides were difficult—imagine trying t stay n a hrse withut a saddle(马鞍)! The animal wuld jump and thrw riders ff frm time t time. T slve this prblem, peple invented tls, like saddles and reins, t cntrl hrses.
Peple then used hrses fr farming, trading, and explring new lands, which made them mre ppular as wrking animals. Because f their speed and strength, hrses als became pwerful partners f sldiers in wars. Mre interestingly, hrses even influenced fashin—peple invented trusers t make riding mre cmfrtable!
Tday, hrses have been imprtant friends t humans n farms and in cities, even after trains replaced them as the fastest transprtatin in the 1800s. Frm fd t friends, hrses have walked with humans thrugh time. They're living pages f ur shared stry.

I've had a lng argument with a girl named Summer ever since we met in kindergarten. It all started with a small cubby(小柜子). Six-year-ld Summer asked me t take my backpack ut f “her” cubby.
“Yu dn't wn this cubby,” six-year-ld me replied. “Why dn't yu just use a different cubby?”
“I've been using this cubby all week,” said Summer. “Yu're the ne wh needs t use a different cubby!”
“Well,” I said. “I dn't think yu're being very friendly.”
“Well,” said Summer. “Maybe that's because yu're nt my friend!”
In the first grade, during a ball game, we argued again. Summer said I was ut f the game because the ball bunced twice, but I knew it nly bunced nce by the rule. She said I was a sre lser, and I said the same abut her.
In the third grade, we had anther disagreement when we were in the chess club. I questined her mve(走棋), and she gt angry, saying the wrng mve was that she agreed t play with me.

I was nt surprised t hear that smene made fun f my lk at my friend's birthday party. I laughed alng, silently agreeing that I was nt s gd-lking. It was s embarrassing.

Deep under the Pacific Ocean lie cral reefs clured by sme algae(海藻) that live with crals. Crals usually prvide nitrgen(氮) t algae, and in return they get carbn(碳), which gives them energy.
In the early 1980s, a huge heat wave turned mre than 90 percent f these crals pale and lifeless. And it was believed that abut 50 percent f reefs with beautiful crals might disappear by 2030. Heat waves warmed up the same Pacific waters in the late 1990s and again in 2015—2016, but scientists nticed that these heat waves didn't influence the reefs as badly as the first. Maybe crals have fund a way t adapt.
Swimming t cler waters is nt a gd chice fr crals, fr it makes them easily hurt by the changing climate. But crals are able t adapt. Sme turn t thse algae that can deal well with heat. Others can use rws f tiny hairs n their bdies t “fan” away t much harmful xygen(O2) let ut by stressed-ut algae. Certain baby crals change their wn metablisms(新陈代谢) in rder t fight the warming waters. But all the adaptatin can prtect themselves nly t sme degree.
After studying and understanding the adaptatin, scientists are trying t find ways t help crals fight. If researchers can make crals accept algae that can deal with heat pressure r if they energise genes(基因) that can deal with heat pressure, it will raise the crals' chance f living thrugh future cean heat waves.
“When I g dwn t the sea and see a beautiful healthy reef with these clurful crals, I feel this pleasure f being in this underwater wrld,” a famus bilgist says.“It will be really sad t see it dead. But that des drive yu t want t use yur skills and yur lve t help fight.”
( C )8.What can we knw frm Paragraph 1?

But nne f these wmen are real—everything abut them, even the expressins n their faces, is created by AI. This is the wrld's first ever AI beauty pageant. Each wman has a famus AI cmpany behind them, such as OpenAI and Stable Diffusin.
Each f the cmpetitrs has an unusual face and persnality, which makes them different frm thers. One red-haired, green-eyed avatar(用户头像) named Seren Ay psts phts n the Internet as she travels arund the wrld, appearing n Miami beaches and streets f Tky, and she has received many “likes” frm millins f fans. But unlike real humans, these avatars never lk ld. They dn't need t be paid and can be directly wned by a cmpany fr the purpse f making mney.
The pageant rganisers say the cmpetitrs will be judged by mre than just beauty. They will als get pints fr their creatrs' use f AI tls, and als their scial media influence. They even have t answer questins like “If yu culd have ne dream t make the wrld a better place, what wuld it be?”

We knw that AI is nt a real human. Hwever, it seems many f us can't help treating it like ne. In a survey f 2,000 peple in the USA, 48 percent believed we shuld have gd manners when talking t AI, said The New Yrk Pst.
Scientists at the Imperial Cllege Lndn in the UK have made a similar discvery recently. They fund that humans tend(往往会) t treat AI as human beings shwing sympathy(同情) twards them and even prtecting them, Science Daily reprted.
In their experiment, the scientists invited 244 vlunteers t play an nline ball game with an AI bt. A make-believe vlunteer als tk part, and smetimes left ut the AI n purpse by passing the ball nly t human players. As the scientists watched the game, they discvered that mst f the time the vlunteers tried t fix the unfairness(不公平) twards the bt by giving it the ball mre ften.
The finding is in line with the ideas f Media Equatin Thery, the scientists said in their papers. Develped in the 1990s by scientists at Stanfrd University in the USA, the thery suggests we ften reply t media and technlgy like we d t real peple and places, rather than just seeing them as tls.
An example is Replika, an AI chatbt created in 2017. It has abut 2 millin users wrldwide. “Yur Replika will always be yur side n matter what yu are up t,” reads its fficial website. But the AI's supprt turned dangerus when it encuraged Jaswant Singh Chail, a yung man in the UK, t carry ut his plan t kill the Queen. Chail tried t d s in December 2021, but he was stpped in time. Hwever, he was still put in prisn.
Cmpanies shuld avid making AI t human-like in their design, advised the scientists at Imperial Cllege Lndn. This can help peple tell the difference between virtual(虚拟的) and real cmmunicatin.

Lightning(闪电) strikes kill millins f trees each year—but it turns ut that sme large trpical(热带的) trees can nt nly stay alive after they're hit by a strike, but als benefit frm its effects, accrding t a recent study.
Sme trees are getting repeatedly hit by lightning ver their lifetime. But why can they survive(活下来)? Researchers dn't knw fr sure. Hwever, they think that trees will be heated less if they're mre cnductive. That means the energy frm lightning is just mving t their neighburs, instead f staying in them. The lightning's strng pwer kills the parasitic vines(寄生藤蔓) n the trees. It als kills sme ther trees nearby, reducing cmpetitin.
Dipteryx leifera, a tree in Panama's frests, has prbably experienced 10 lightning strikes s far. It stays safe and sund, while mst f the neighburing trees were killed. If yu are in the frest, yu'll recgnise it by its huge size and height. “We believe the trees in Panama's frests have five strikes n average. But, yu knw, sme f them bviusly have a tn f strikes,” Evan Gra, a frest eclgist said.
Hw lng d these trees live in the frests? Peple can't d tree ring dating in trpical frests because the trees dn't make cntinuus grwth rings. Researchers guess many f the trees wuld be hundreds, r maybe even mre than 1,000 years ld.
What can we learn frm the study? The hardest things can turn int gd things, can they?

①Climate change is happening. It is having a strng effect(影响) n areas f the wrld.
②Other than causing terrible strms in sme places r perids f n rain fr mnths at a time in ther places, climate change has influenced the temperature f the sea near land. When the temperature f the sea changes, this influences sea animals. Peple wh make their living in sme way frm the sea will have a hard time as the sea animals begin t die ff. On tp f this, higher temperatures are causing ice muntains t melt, which is causing sea levels arund the wrld t rise.
③Rising sea levels are a big prblem. As areas f land beside the sea g under the water, the animals that used t live in these areas are frced t find new hmes. Freshwater lakes lcated(位于) near the seas als becme filled with salt water. In additin t these lakes, certain lands that are nrmally wet but still abve sea level becme flded. These lands are necessary fr the envirnment because they can help take ut sme kinds f pisns(毒物) frm water. They can als slw dwn r stp flding f dry land abve them. Because f the rising sea levels, sme places that did nt experience flds befre, like farms far frm the sea, nw get flded.
④Rising sea levels als have a big effect n hw peple live. Fr example, when the sea level rises and the salt water mves higher up n the land, it can g int the grund and get int areas where peple get the fresh water they drink.

Tea has lng been a ppular drink in China. Chinese peple lve different kinds f tea. Amng them, black tea and white tea frm Fujian, green tea frm Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea frm Yunnan are sme f the favurites.
In the Sng Dynasty, tea culture reached new heights. The beauty f the Sng tea came alive thrugh dian cha. Pwdered(制成粉状的) tea was whisked(搅打) with water int sft “cluds”. White tea was ften used t make the “cluds” as white as the mnlight. Tea artists used clean water t draw pictures n them with a teaspn. The way f serving dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Tday, mre yung peple are learning and passing it n.
Yunnan's dark tea, especially Pu'er, gt famus because f the Ancient Tea Hrse Rad. And it wn ppularity arund the wrld. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler fund a new kind f Pu'er frm Yunnan in a shp.

Every year, lts f animals arund the wrld g n migrating(迁徙) jurneys. Sme need t find fd; thers are lking fr smewhere t prduce and raise their yung. Migratins can be lng and difficult fr animals, but new research n birds has fund that farmland alng the way can help their prgress.
In spring, hundreds f thusands f birds living near Lake Pyang, in China, fly nrth t Siberia, Russia. On the way, they find places t stp and eat t keep their energy levels up fr the lng jurney. Sme birds, such as geese, eat yung grass that starts t grw at the beginning f the seasn. This fd can last fr nly a few weeks. And rising temperatures caused by climate change can smetimes make the grass grw earlier than usual. This means that sme birds are arriving t late t eat the grass. As mre land is used fr farming, the natural wetlands where birds like t search fr fd are disappearing, t.
A team f researchers have recently chsen t fllw 246 birds, including geese and tundra swans, that are flying frm Lake Pyang t Siberia. They find that the birds have changed their diets t adapt (适应)t the envirnments they pass thrugh. As well as eating grass frm the wetlands alng the way, the birds are als eating seeds(种子) drpped by farmers.
The researchers believe that seeds will becme a mre imprtant part f migrating birds' diets as mre natural wetlands disappear. They suggest that if farmers use different ways f harvesting, such as using machines that leave behind mre seeds in fields, it culd help t feed migrating birds.Hwever, they als say wetlands must be prtected, s the birds can enjy different fd during their lng jurneys.

If yu are a bike rider, yu may remember yur first lng ride. On a bike, yu culd travel much faster and farther than yu ever culd n ft. What freedm! The first humans t ride hrses prbably felt the same way.
Ten thusand years ag, wild hrses lived acrss the grasslands f Eurpe, Asia, and the Americas. At first, humans hunted them fr meat. But arund 6,000 years ag, peple in Central Asia discvered smething imprtant: Hrses culd dig thrugh snw t find grass during cld winters, and they culd als eat tugh plants that ther animals culdn't. This meant hrses were easy t raise. S peple began t keep hrses fr fd. Fr the first time, humans and hrses lived tgether.
Later, peple learnt that hrses lived in grups and they fllwed their lead hrses. By cpying their actins and acting like their leaders, humans slwly wn their trust. Over time, hrses grew calm arund humans, allwing peple t milk and ride them. But early rides were difficult—imagine trying t stay n a hrse withut a saddle(马鞍)! The animal wuld jump and thrw riders ff frm time t time. T slve this prblem, peple invented tls, like saddles and reins, t cntrl hrses.
Peple then used hrses fr farming, trading, and explring new lands, which made them mre ppular as wrking animals. Because f their speed and strength, hrses als became pwerful partners f sldiers in wars. Mre interestingly, hrses even influenced fashin—peple invented trusers t make riding mre cmfrtable!
Tday, hrses have been imprtant friends t humans n farms and in cities, even after trains replaced them as the fastest transprtatin in the 1800s. Frm fd t friends, hrses have walked with humans thrugh time. They're living pages f ur shared stry.

I've had a lng argument with a girl named Summer ever since we met in kindergarten. It all started with a small cubby(小柜子). Six-year-ld Summer asked me t take my backpack ut f “her” cubby.
“Yu dn't wn this cubby,” six-year-ld me replied. “Why dn't yu just use a different cubby?”
“I've been using this cubby all week,” said Summer. “Yu're the ne wh needs t use a different cubby!”
“Well,” I said. “I dn't think yu're being very friendly.”
“Well,” said Summer. “Maybe that's because yu're nt my friend!”
In the first grade, during a ball game, we argued again. Summer said I was ut f the game because the ball bunced twice, but I knew it nly bunced nce by the rule. She said I was a sre lser, and I said the same abut her.
In the third grade, we had anther disagreement when we were in the chess club. I questined her mve(走棋), and she gt angry, saying the wrng mve was that she agreed t play with me.
As yu can see, ▲ . But smething surprising changed us. We bth acted as rabbits in ur schl's winter play. At first, we tried t pay n attentin t each ther. But ur directr Mr Jacksn, knew we had prblems with each ther and wanted t help. S he asked us t team up and sing a sng tgether. We were nervus but agreed.
During rehearsals, we practised ver and ver again in rder t give a wnderful perfrmance n stage and we started talking with each ther befre the big shw. We knew ur memries f past arguments were cmpletely different. We ended up laughing abut thse silly fights. After lts f practice, ur perfrmance was a great success, and the audience culdn't stp laughing. I learn that nt everyne gets alng well at first, but smetimes, a cnversatin can turn enemies int friends.
