In terms of teaching, firstly, ChatGPT is like an up-graded version of an intelligent search engine, which greatly improves my efficiency in preparing assessments. For example, I’m currently teaching a Year 4 module Digital Marketing and it’s a very practical module. In the past, I had to spend a lot of time looking for cases and examples related to the course to help students understand it. Now I just need to ask ChatGPT to generate relevant and accurate examples. Secondly, ChatGPT can help improve my teaching. Previously, I often tried to find ways to increase student participation in class, by researching questions, activities, technical tools, as well as methods. However, today I often look to ChatGPT for in-depth advice on this.

In terms of scientific research, given the academic severeness, I actually think ChatGPT can do relatively little at present. The scenes I’ve used ChatGPT for have so far been limited to just a few aspects. Firstly, proof-reading an article. Secondly, summarizing and improving an article. For example, you can import a piece of content and have ChatGPT generate the article’s overall ideas and keywords.

It seems that different universities hold different attitudes toward ChatGPT. The University of Cambridge, for example, allows students to use ChatGPT for purposes other than exams, assignments and papers. Of course, there are plenty of objections.

I think, used in the right way, ChatGPT can be of great help to students in their academic and personal growth. For example, I mentioned using ChatGPT as a smarter search engine and learning tool. ChatGPT can help students review conceptual problems after class and supplement their knowledge. Secondly, students can also use ChatGPT to do more targeted personal pursuits. For example, when applying for a master’s degree, or looking for a job, students can use ChatGPT to conduct mock(模拟)interviews and CV improvements. Note that good questions lead to good answers. Be clear about what you want from this advanced language model and ask questions with a purpose.

By Professor Martin Locket, UCL

On New Year’s Day 2023, I had a panic attack at work. Unfortunately for me, that meant in front of millions of people, as I was delivering the news, live, on ABC’s Good Morning America. In the wake of my nationally televised panic, I learned that I had undiagnosed depression. For months, I’d been having trouble getting out of bed in the morning and felt as if I had an everlasting low-grade fever.

Two things changed my mind. The first was the science. In recent years, there has been an explosion of research into meditation (冥想), which has been shown to reduce blood pressure, improve recovery after your body releases the stress hormone cortisol (荷尔蒙皮质醇), strengthen the immune system, and relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Studies also show meditation can reduce violence in prisons, increase productivity in the workplace, and improve both the behavior and the grades of schoolchildren.

The second thing that changed my mind about meditation is that it does not necessarily take a lot of the magic stuff I feared it might. Contrary to popular belief, meditation does not have to involve folding yourself into a roll, joining a group, or wearing special dress. The word meditation is a little bit like the world sports; there are hundreds of varieties. The type of meditation discussed here is called mindfulness meditation, which is acquired from Buddhism but does not require adopting a belief system ór declaring oneself to be a Buddhist.

I began my practice slowly, with just five to ten minutes a day, which is what I recommend everyone aim for at the start. I have learned that the less delighted you are by the voice in your head, the more you can make room for entirely new thoughts and feelings to appear. In sum, meditation enables you to tap into what lies beneath or beyond the ego (自我). Call it creativity. Call it your original wisdom. Some people call it your heart.

8．What can the author’s profession possibly be?

A．Reporter.

B．Editor.

C．TV broadcaster.

D．Radio host.

9．What changed the author’s mind about meditation?

A．It can lower blood pressure.

B．It can reduce depression and anxiety.

C．It can improve students’ behavior and performance.

D．It is scientific and without much fantastic frightening things.

10．What’s the difference between popular belief and mediation?

A．Mediation is free from various chains and forms.

B．Meditation doesn’t need to fold someone into a roll.

C．Meditation is more like the world sports than popular belief.

D．Meditation requires someone to join a group or wear special dress.

11．How do you make yourself more creative according to the last paragraph?

A．Keep your mind clean.

B．Keep a quiet environment.

C．Practice mediation slowly.

D．Tap something beneath or beyond the ego.

Scientists, conservation organizations and governments are trying to stop the trend of extinction. They often focus efforts on protected areas such as national parks and wildlife preserves. But with as many as a million species at risk, this approach may not be enough to conserve wildlife, especially in a world increasingly affected by climate change.

Slowing the mass extinction that now appears to be underway will require more creative means of coexisting alongside wild plants and animals. A new study stresses the effectiveness of some such approaches by examining native-managed lands.

“We show really strongly that, from a biodiversity standpoint in terms of species richness, native-managed lands are as important as protected areas,’’ says biologist Richard Schuster of Carleton University. Schuster and his team analyzed more than 15, 000 areas in Australia, Brazil and Canada. They found that the total diversity of birds, mammals, amphibians(两栖动物)and reptiles was highest on lands either managed or comanaged by native groups. For threatened species, indigenous lands scored slightly higher than protected lands on overall species richness.

Each country has a different geography, climate and history. Yet surprisingly, Schuster says the best indicator for species diversity is whether a given area was managed by a native community. He points out that practices such as sustainable hunting and fishing are more likely to occur in such areas. It’s really important to listen to the people who live on the land and encourage them to manage their lands on their own. He also adds that we need to cooperate with native communities. If so, we may help the world’s countries to better meet a wide range of conservation goals. In a word, we really need to work as a global community to prevent the extinction crisis that we’re facing right now.

12．What should we do to reduce mass extinction according to the text?

A．Focus efforts on protected areas.

B．Reduce the effect of climate change.

C．Examine indigenous-managed lands effectively.

D．Find new means to coexist with wild plants and animals.

13．What does the underlined word “indigenous” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．National.

B．Native.

C．Peaceful.

D．Productive.

14．What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Maintaining biodiversity matters a lot to the environment.

B．Indigenous communities may enable the world to be better.

C．Local management of lands may provide a model for mnaintaining biodiversity.

D．More national parks and wildlife preserves are needed to maintain biodiversity.

15．Which section of the Science does the text most probably comne from?

A．Geography.

B．Ecology.

C．Technology.

D．Psychology.

We arrive early on Sunday morning. Upon arrival, we were divided into six group. Then we began to work separate with our equipment.

52．Dear Tom,

I’m more than glad to receive your email, which tells me you have trouble remembering Chinese words. I have some advice on how to improve your vocabulary.

Firstly, you should read aloud as often as possible, for it can develop your language sense. Secondly, you must read more. Reading can certainly enlarge your vocabulary and you can1 easily find plenty of reading materials that interest you. Thirdly, every time you meet a new word, it’s not enough to just write it down. The more you repeat it, the better you’ll remember it. Finally, you need to put your words into practice. Only in this way can you use them skillfully.

I hope the above advice can give you some help.

Best wishes!

Yours sincerely,
