（2023·浙江绍兴·校联考三模）We take selfies(自拍) when we try n a new hat, play with ur pets r when we meet a friend whm we haven’t seen in a while. But des this crazy actually make sense? Is there any scientific explanatin fr it?
Well, yu shuld prbably ask James Kilner, a neurscientist(神经科学家) at University Cllege Lndn. Thrugh ur lifetime we becme experts at reading and telling ther peple’s faces and facial expressins. Hwever, accrding t Kilner, we have a very pr understanding f ur wn faces since we have little experience f lking at them—we just feel them mst f the time.

Kilner fund that mst peple chse the mre beautiful picture. This suggests that we usually think f urselves as better-lking than we actually are.

（2023·浙江衢州·统考三模）“Mm I want a cat,” r “Mm I want a dg,” r “Mm I want a…” are cmmn wrds that parents may hear frm their children mre than nce. Hwever, there are many arguments（争论）fr and against children wning pets.
The first argument that supprts pet wnership by children is that they help t keep children cmpany. When children cme hme frm schl, pets are always there t greet them. They lve children and always want t play. As a result, children will be less likely t experience lneliness. They will als help t keep children active as they will need t be walked and played with every day.
Secndly, wning a pet encurages children t learn new respnsibilities（责任）. Pets need t be lked after and be taken care f every day. Children will learn different skills that they can use later in life. Fr example, washing and feeding pets are basic skills t learn. Learning these respnsibilities will make sure that children will be able t lk after themselves, and pssibly their children ne day.
On the ther hand, sme pets can be dangerus. Sme dgs, fr example, are likely t bite, and children may becme scared f animals as a result f this happening t them. Cats als lk very sft and lvely, but they d have very sharp claws. If they are treated in the wrng way, cats can use their claws t hurt thers.
In additin, pets need a great deal f maintenance（维护）. Many pets need t be ften exercised and bathed. As a result f this, children may pay less attentin t their studies because they are t busy wrrying abut their pets and its well being.
A further argument against pet wnership is that pets are cstly; buying fd and maintaining their care is nt cheap. Finally, the cst f wning ne falls n parents, and as a result, children dn’t fully understand the respnsibility f having ne.

（2023·浙江宁波·统考一模）D yu ever feel like yur thughts are ging arund in circles? One minute, yu’re thinking abut yur hmewrk. The next minute, yu’re thinking abut yur plans fr the weekend.
Is it pssible fr us t slw ur thughts dwn r even stp them cmpletely? It depends n yur definitin (定义) f “thinking”, accrding t Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, US. We basically g thrugh each day in ne f tw states we either realize that we’re thinking r we dn’t. Our brains wn’t stp thinking cmpletely until we die.
“The brain never actually stps ‘thinking’ in a brader sense. Mst thughts are actually in the backgrund withut us nticing them and there’s nt really a way t turn these things ff” Halassa said. Human brains can uncnsciusly prcess (处理) abut 11 millin pieces f infrmatin per secnd, accrding t Frbes.
Yu can cmpare this t hw a cmputer wrks. Even when yu aren’t using yur cmputer while it’s turned n, it is still running peratins “in the backgrund”. Yur cmputer, much like yur brain, is cnstantly “thinking”, even if yu’re nt actively using it.
Sme researchers have referred t this as “thught-chatter”. It describes all kinds f thughts that appear in and ut f ur mind at different times during the day, accrding t Steve Taylr, a psychlgy lecturer.
Sme thught-chatter can be enjyable, such as daydreaming. Albert Einstein came up with his famus thery f relativity while daydreaming at wrk. “But t much thught-chatter can make us feel t anxius r wrried,” Taylr said. “Meditatin (冥想) can help us clean up sme f this thught-chatter.”

What yu need t knw:❊A chatbt is a cmputer prgram that yu can “talk” t. It respnds like a persn.
❊When asked a questin, a chatbt searches fr infrmatin and prvides an answer.
❊Chatbts can talk abut an endless number f tpics. They can write articles abut histry, write lyrics (歌词) in the style f rck stars, r explain hw t slve math prblems.
Yes—chatbts are unreliable
N—technlgy is the future
Getting help with schlwrk is great, but chatbts dn’t always use the mst reliable surces. Students might hand in classwrk with false r incmplete infrmatin. Besides, they wuldn’t really be learning the material r using their critical thinking (批判性思维) skills t d their wrk. What’s wrse, if students rely t heavily n chatbts, it culd be seen as cheating. In additin, it is difficult fr teachers t check hmewrk fr signs that students used chatbts. Lastly, thugh chatbts can help teachers grade tests quickly, but they may make mistakes and nbdy likes their schlwrk graded by a machine.
Chatbts are here t stay. Technlgy is changing educatin, and banning it wn’t stp that at all. Why nt teach kids t use chatbts respnsibly, like they use calculatrs r nline dictinaries? Chatbts culd serve as a starting pint fr learning by guiding research, teaching vcabulary, and helping students find ut the next step f a math prblem. And they culd lead students t discuss and help them imprve public speaking skills. Als, chatbts can give teachers a hand by creating tests, designing hmewrk, and making lessn plans r writing persnal tasks fr students learning at different levels. Everybdy wins.
