While Romano’s classmates were beginning their college life, the 19-year-old Croatian young man had different dreams. In Croatia, taking a gap year is not as common as in other countries, but Romano decided to take a break for a year or two after high school and try volunteering in Africa.

Upon arrival in Arusha, Tanzania, Romano found a volunteering project through an organization. Now he helps poor children and teaches them English and math. These children are not abandoned. They come from low-income families and any help is welcome. There is no soap or running water in the school, and to learn English, the children depend on volunteers because there are not enough qualified teachers.

“They don’t have much, they are poor, but honest and happy, because they are not aware that there may be something better out there for them. As I was lecturing, I saw the materials they used for learning: worn-out pencils, one eraser for 20 children, torn and printed notebooks, and not to mention clothes and shoes. I will only tell you that uniforms are worn to conceal their clothing and thus to hide material inequality,” says Romano, who was therefore encouraged to launch a charity action to collect donations for children’s necessities.

Romano believes that every child has the right to the basics, including education. It is for this reason that he wants to help these little ones. “Even though I was aware of it before, I realized how privileged I am in life just because I was born on another continent. I learned to appreciate more what I have and manage without the basics. As a result, I met a different culture, tested my limits and looked at things from a different perspective—a gratitude perspective,” concludes Romano, hoping that little by little, both he and other volunteers will contribute to positive change through their work.

4、Why did Romano come to Arusha?

A.To prepare for his college life.  B.To help children there as a volunteer.

C.To promote an educational program. D.To train the less-qualified teachers.

5、What can be inferred about the children that Romano teaches?

A.They are too poor to be happy.

B.They all have an incomplete family.

C.They have no local English teachers.

D.They know little about the outside world.

6、Which word can replace the underlined word “conceal” in Para.3?

A.Show. B.Rid. C.Mask. D.Advertise.

7、What did Romano learn from his experience?

A.All children should have access to everything.

B.He should treasure more his life and feel grateful.

C.Adults should try our best to make the world better.

D.He should work hard in college to be more powerful.

Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary(周年纪念日) of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. It gave a voice to an emerging public consciousness（意识）about the state of our planet. The founder was Gaylord Nelson.

What moved Gaylord Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill (溢出) in California, the largest oil spill in the United States at that time. The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a strong impact on marine life, killing an estimated 3,500 sea birds, as well as marine animals such as dolphins, elephant seals and sea lions. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time, Nelson found it was a right time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment. Thus, Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental consciousness took center stage.

On 22nd April 1970, millions of Americans went to the streets to demonstrate(游 行) for a healthy, sustainable environment and thousands of students marched in protest of the terrible situation of the environment. Businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations. The year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more countries around the world. It helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit(峰会) in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations, for a joint effort towards protecting the environment. In 2009, the United Nations decided to officially set April 22 as Earth Day.

For his role as founder of Earth Day, Gaylord Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1995), the highest honor given to civilians in the United States. We honor the man, as the fight for a cleaner environment continues.

8、What can we learn about Earth Day?

A.It was founded at the end of 1970s. 

B.It was first celebrated in Rio de Janeiro.

C.People will march on the street on this day.

D.It arouses public environmental awareness.

9、What did Gaylord Nelson do to make Earth Day possible?

A.He reduced the loss of the oil spill. 

B.He participated in an antiwar movement.

C.He set environmental standards for business.

D.He involved more people in environmental issues.

10、What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The focus of Earth Day.

B.The development of Earth Day.

C.The world 's concern on the environment.

D.The joint efforts of different countries.

11、Which of the following best describes Gaylord Nelson?

A.Intelligent. B.Responsible. C.Considerate.  D.Knowledgeable.

“The arrival of ChatGPT will push educators to focus more on teaching subjects that technology is not good at.” Andreas Schleicher said, who is director of education and skills for the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development. He welcomes this development and thinks it gives people the chance to concentrate less on tasks that technology can also do well.

The future is not about technology vs humans. The future is about integrating technology with humans. ChatGPT pushes us to think harder of what makes us human.

“The world no longer rewards you just for what you know. Baidu knows everything. The world rewards you for what you can do with what you know, and ChatGPT pushes us to work harder on this. If students are only as smart as a smartphone, it means educators are not doing enough. People should focus on developing human skills that actually are important, such as imagination and creativity.” Schleicher said in an interview with China Daily on the sidelines of the World Digital Education Conference.

The arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) really pushes people to think hard about what education is and the purpose it serves, as well as what knowledge, skills, attitudes and values humans have that complement (补充) artificial intelligence.

ChatGPT is not connected to the Internet, so it can’t replace search engines. Search engines such as Google or Baidu simply extract (提取) knowledge, while ChatGPT goes a step further and analyzes a search before providing a single answer.

As a device, ChatGPT is going to make learning much more interesting and powerful, but as a purpose and objective, humans need to work very hard to win that race with technology.

12、What may Schleicher agree with?

A. ChatGPT is fighting against humans.

B. Students are just as smart as a smartphone.

C. People who can do with their knowledge will be more successful.

D. ChatGPT pushes educators to concentrate more on subjects technology is good at.

13、What’s the advantage of ChatGPT over Google and Baidu according to the passage?

A. ChatGPT has connection to the Internet.

B. ChatGPT has the function of analysis.

C. ChatGPT is a more powerful search engine.

D. ChatGPT knows more than Google and Baidu.

14、What can be a suitable title of this passage?

A. ChatGPT to Influence Future Education

B. The Future Development of ChatGPT

C. The Development of Future Education

D. The Race between ChatGPT and Humans

15、In which section can you read the passage on a website?

A. Tourism. B. Business. C. Education. D. Amusement.

Sebastian wet his lips before he continued reading. My mum promised to get us a house by the end of the year. We live in a trailer—a vehicle without an engine. It’s a little small with three boys. I don’t know if my mum can keep her promise. because she had an accident recently, so I’m helping out, too.

“How are you helping?” a teen girl asked.

“Keep quiet, everyone. Let Sebastian finish reading,” Mrs. Evans gently scolded the class.

“My mum is a street sweeper for the city, but she’s been staying home, trying to get better. She’s on paid sick leave. Someone has to fill in for her. So I went to her boss and started doing her job. I rake(耙) the leaves outside into piles mostly because they ‘re falling so often now. But I realized how hard it was and that a real superhero doesn’t wear a cape (斗篷)or go on adventures. A real hero takes care of his family, and I hope to grow up and be half the hero my mum is. Thank you.”

Then came a moment of silence After that, the rest of the class read their essays too, and Sebastian started to feel a bit silly because they all talked about superheroes like Iron Man Thor, and Wonder Woman. He was the only one who had written about a real person.
