I've been in an 18-year lve-hate relatinship with a black walnut tree.
It's a unique tree. In late September r early Octber, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls(头骨)f yu, yur children, yur neighbrs and thse that live next dr t them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as fr me, I wear my bike helmet while wrking in the garden.
The black walnut als releases a chemical substance(物质)thrugh its tts as a cmpetitive strategy. It's pisnus t several cmmn plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brught hme with hpes that maybe the black walnut wuld accept them, but they failed t grw.
What des wrk are native plants that naturally grw in the area. Native plants are imprtant t have arund since they prvide beneficial pllinatrs(传粉者)like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and cntribute t a healthy and bi-diverse envirnment. Native plants fr this area are generally easy t grw, s they experience less stress.
Have I thught f remving this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, hwever, getting rid f this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next t impssible. It's als prtected under the law. Trees are imprtant t the urban frest and fr all f thse that inhabit(居住于)it.
Smetimes I think abut my life withut the black walnut. I can't imagine a spring withut the birds wh arrive every year and ludly sing their sngs befre dawn. I'd miss falling asleep n lazy weekend afternns as I lk up int its leaves.
Every spring, I wnder what the seasn hlds: What are the chances f being kncked uncnscius while barbecuing? Like any gd relatinship, I'll never be pleased. I'm stuck with this tree, s I'll listen t its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut ffers a habitat fr wildlife and a reminder.
4. Why des the authr wear a bike helmet while wrking in the garden?
A. T prtect the injured skull. B. T avid being hit by the nuts.
C. T prevent herself frm sunburn. D. T prtect herself frm falling ver.
5. What is the tree's survival strategy?
A. It accepts new plant varieties. B. It attracts beneficial pllinatrs.
C. It lets ut a pisn t drive away pests. D. It prduces a chemical deadly t sme plants.
6. What is the writer's attitude twards the walnut tree?
A. Pleased. B. Cnflicted. C. Curius. D. Disapprving.
7. The authr mst prbably gt a reminder frm the tree that
A. It's better t accept than t resist. B. It's better t act than t think
C. It's better t cmpete than t give up. D. It's better t prtect than t destry.

In 1998, I headed frm a small twn in Suth Wales t Sheffield University. Sheffield, the UK's furth biggest city, had it all—clubs, bars, and theaters. It was a huge cntrast t my hmetwn, which hadn't had a cinema until 1997. Sheffield had varius chices—I thught I'd lve it. But I missed the Wye Valley ccasinally.
Over time, I settled. Nw I've lived in Sheffield lnger than in my hmetwn. Yet n matter hw happy I am in my adpted city, there's always a desire t return t Wales. The simple answer is that the idea f hme desn't necessarily relate t time spent in a place—instead, it is abut a special cnnectin and a feeling f safety.
"Hmesickness usually cmes frm being smewhere that desn't quite feel like hme," says psychlgist Wendy Dignan. "As humans, we create a safe zne(地带). Sme peple may nt be particularly attached t a place, s they always feel safe. Hwever, thers' safe zne might be a particular place, a hme, r a familiar persn, the absence f which may lead t hmesickness."
There are things yu can help yurself if yu are struggling with hmesickness. Dignan suggests ging t the same cffee shp r gym at a certain time t build a pattern f familiarity because, it is a useful tl fr vercming hmesickness and building that all-imprtant safe zne. When s much in ur lives is unpredictable, it is n surprise that we crave safe zne.
I'm frtunate t have a lving family, supprtive friends, and a cmfrtable hme in Sheffield, but hwever much I lve my life here, there's an inner part f me that will frever be in Wales.
8. Which wrd can best describe the authr's hmetwn?
A. Underdevelped. B. Well-designed.
C. Well-knwn. D. Overppulated.
9. What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. The different types f safe znes. B. The cause fr peple's hmesickness.
C. The value f vercming hmesickness. D. Psychlgical impacts f hmesickness.
10. What des the underlined wrd "crave" mean in paragraph 4?
A. Imprve. B. Disagree. C. Supprt. D. Desire.
11. What can we knw frm the authr's experience?
A. Lve ften begins in ur hmetwn. B. Hmesickness can be easily avided.
C. Hmetwn means a sense f belnging. D. Never shuld we leave ur hmetwn.

"Wman reading bk, under a night sky, dreamy atmsphere," I type int Deep Dream Generatr's Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned t me shwing what I've described.
Welcme t the wrld f Al image generatin, where yu can create what n the surfaced lks like tp-rank artwrk using just a few text prmpts(提示). But clser examinatin shws ddities. The face f the wman in my image has very dd features, and appears t be hlding multiple bks. And, while there's an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there's n creative satisfactin.
AI image generatin culd influence everything frm film t graphic nvels and mre. Children's illustratrs were quick t raise cncerns abut the technlgy. They say AI-generated art is the exact ppsite f what art is believed t be. Fundamentally, art is all abut translating smething that yu feel internally int smething that exists externally. Whatever frm it takes, true art is abut the creative prcess much mre than it's abut the final piece. And simply pressing a buttn t generate an image is nt a creative prcess.
Beynd creativity, there are deeper issues. T create images frm prmpts, AI generatrs rely n databases f already existing art and text. This culd lead t the creatin f images that are intentinally meant t imitate(模仿)the style f ther artists, withut their agreement. There is an argument that AI generatrs wrk n differently t humans when it cmes t being influenced by thers' wrk. Hwever, a human artist is als adding emtin and slight difference int the mix. AI desn't d the same—it can nly cpy.
The increasing use f AI will als lead t a devaluing f the wrk f artists. There's already a negative prejudice twards the creative industry. Peple will begin t think that their "wrk" is as excellent as that created by smene wh has spent a career making art. It's nnsense, f curse. Yu can use yur mbile phne t take a nice picture f yur daughter, but yu are n match fr prfessinals.
12. What des the writer think f his image creatin?
A. Exciting. B. Cncerned. C. Unsatisfying. D. Shcking.
13. What d children's illustratrs value mst abut art?
A. The final art wrk. B. External expressins in art.
C. The ppsite f reality. D. The jurney t creatin.
14. What is paragraph 4 f the text mainly abut?
A. The ethical cncerns in AI art imitatin. B. Human artists' influence n Al generatrs.
C. The superirity f human artwrks. D. The ver-reliance f human n technlgy.
15. Which f the fllwing best summarizes the last paragraph?
A. Art is the mirrr f life. B. Rme is nt built in a day.
C. N man can d tw things at nce. D. Dn't judge a bk by its cver.
