But yu can’t quit.” Munger said that challenging times are unavidable in everyne’s life. What matters is hw yu deal with them and then mve n.
On the surface, Munger’s life may have appeared perfect. He was a successful lawyer and investr, extremely wealthy, and he lived a lng, seemingly happy life. But his struggles and sadness were intense: a divrce in his 20s, blindness in ne eye as a result f failed surgery and the death f his 9-year-ld sn Teddy, wh had leukemia （白血病）.
“Yur ability t recver frm struggles r disappintments, whether in yur persnal life r career, is essential fr yur success and happiness in the lng run,” experts say. Often, that can mean prperly feeling sad r prcessing yur disappintment befre mving frward. As Munger nted, crying can be a healthy way f ding that. It literally helps yu let g f emtinal suffering thrugh the release f endrphins （内啡肽）, research shws. In cntrast, repressing （压抑） thse emtins can make a variety f mental and physical health prblems severer.
“The irn rule f life is: Everybdy struggles,” Munger said. Peple wh have the strength t carry n are mre likely t live happily, smetimes, learning a valuable lessn in the prcess. “It’s yur nly ptin. Yu can’t bring back the dead. Yu can’t cure the dying child. Yu can’t d all kinds f things,” said Munger. “Yu have t mve frward.”

Angus Neish dared t hpe that his fine-lking cattle, raised at Rdmead Farm in Wilt-shire, wuld win a prize at the Ryal Bath and West Shw last mnth. The annual fair, held near Sheptn Mallet, in Smerset, is England’s ldest and grandest. As well as a fiercely cmpetitive livestck （家畜） parade, it features Mrris dancing, sheep-shearing and a vintage fairgrund. Its pny-charit races are secnd t nne. Many cntestants perfrmed spiritedly befre a large crwd. 100,000 turned ut fr sme f the three-day shw.
Britns lve a fair. N ne is sure exactly hw many shws there are acrss the cuntry, but at least 365 days f such rural events happen annually acrss the cuntry. Rughly ne in ten Britns attend them each year. It appears their ppularity is rising.
In late June, it was the turn f the Ryal Highland Shw, near Edinburgh, where 217,000 peple breaking a recrd set in 2019 rlled up. It is estimated that the event last year bsted nearby businesses by almst £40m ($51m).
Why d peple g? Nstalgia （怀旧） is evidently a draw. At Bath and West, as clred flags flapped, visitrs frmed queues, bught cream teas and listened as a military band played wartime hits. Rural shws als have a purpse. Many fairs were funded t spread the knwledge f new farming technlgy amng rural ppulatins. Sme f that missin lives n.
A secndary gal is t better educate thse wh fld in frm twns and cities—urban flk make up a decent share f thse wh pack the grunds. Sme cnsumers als cme armed with pwerful knwledge f fd supply chains as well as smetimes picky persnal preferences fr rganic, lcal, animal-friendly and envirnmentally sund prducts. Laura Williams, f the Ryal Welsh Shw, ntes that visitrs are “much mre invested in farming and interested in where their fd cmes frm” than in years past.
A last purpse, naturally, is fr farmers t excel against their rivals （竞争对手） in friendly cmpetitin. In this respect, Mr. Neish enjyed an utterly successful day. In a first fr Bath and West, his cattle scped all fur f the tp prizes n ffer in their categries. Such victries d nt bring immediate, large financial rewards, but shuld bst the reputatin f his prgram.
28. What d we knw abut the fair last mnth?
A. It was held in the ldest city.B. It was a mnthly shw.
C. It witnessed high attendances.D. It had the fiercest cmpetitin.
29. What’s the purpse f the shws?
A. T narrw the urban-rural gap.B. T prmte wartime hit recrd.
C. T remve cmpetitin amng farmers.D. T ffer an insight int farming.
30. What will Mr. Neish gain frm Bath and West?
A. An pprtunity t advertise.B. An instant and large prfit.
C. A marketing strategy.D. An academic reputatin.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Farm prducts: sweeping BritishB. Rural shws: victrs’ stage
C. Masses f farmers: true winnersD. Fun f the fair: gaining ppularity

The maker f ChatGPT recently annunced its next mve int generative artificial intelligence. San Francisc-based OpenAI’s new text-t-vide generatr, called Sra, is a tl that instantly makes shrt vides based n written cmmands, called prmpts.
Sra is nt the first f its kind. Ggle, Meta and Runway are amng the ther cmpanies t have develped similar technlgy. But the high quality f vides displayed by OpenAI—sme released after CEO Sam Altman asked scial media users t send in ideas fr written prmpts surprised bservers.
A phtgrapher frm New Hampshire psted ne suggestin, r prmpt, n scial media. The prmpt gave details abut a kind f fd t be cked, gncchi （意大利团子）, as well as the setting, an ld Italian cuntry kitchen. The prmpt said, “An instructinal cking sessin fr hmemade gncchi, hsted by a grandmther, a scial media influencer, set in a rustic （土气的） Tuscan cuntry kitchen.” Altman answered a shrt time later with a realistic vide that shwed what the prmpt described.
The tl is nt yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited infrmatin abut hw it was built. The cmpany als has nt stated what imagery and vide surces were used t train Sra. At the same time, the vide results led t fears abut the pssible mral and scial effects.
The New Yrk Times and sme writers have taken legal actins against OpenAI fr its use f ed wrks f writing t train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee t The Assciated Press, the surce f this reprt, t license its text news file. OpenAI said in a blg pst that it is cmmunicating with artists, plicymakers and thers befre releasing the new tl t the public.
The cmpany added that it is wrking with “red teamers”, peple wh try t find prblems and give helpful suggestins, t develp Sra. “We are wrking with red teamers-express in areas like misinfrmatin and hateful cntent—wh will be adversarially （对抗地） testing the mdel,” the cmpany said. “We’re als building tls t help detect misleading cntent such as a detectin classifier that can tell when a vide was generated by Sra.”
32. What makes Sra impressive?
A. Its rapid develpment.B. Its remarkable vide quality.
C. Its mral and scial influence.D. Its written cmmands and prmpts.
33. What’s the writing purpse f paragraph 3?
A. T give a definitin.B. T make a cmparisn. C. T intrduce a tpic.D. T present an example.
34. What can we infer frm the text?
A. The public has access t the tl easily.
B. Sme disagreements ver Sra have arisen.
C. Much infrmatin has been given n hw Sra was built.
D. Open AI have been apprved fr using ed wrks.
35. What is the authr’s attitude twards Sra?
A. Objective.B. Subjective. C. Dubtful.D. Critical.

Why is a cmpliment （称赞） s pwerful? One f the mst imprtant things t humans is t feel valued and respected by thers, says Vanessa Bhns, a scial psychlgist, wh has researched cmpliments. 36 With that in mind, we asked her t share sme f her favrite cmpliments.
“Yu handled that situatin s well.”
Bhns recently used her favrite cmpliment when she saw a server address a difficult situatin with a custmer at the bar. “I like it s much because yu use it in anxius mments where the ther persn is ften unsure f whether they handled a situatin OK,” she says. 37 Give yur cmpliments generusly. Peple smetimes wrry that they’re ging ver and will start t sund insincere. That cncern is unfunded.
“ 38 ”
This cmpliment—ne f Bhns’ favrites—wrks well amng rmantic partners and clse family members. “It’s a beautiful way t stress hw their presence turns life int smething meaningful, despite bring rutines f ur everyday lives,” she says. If yu’re afraid that giving a cmpliment like this will feel strange, yu’re nt alne. 39 If it makes yu persnally feel like the bar is lwered fr yu t give a cmpliment if yu write it dwn, r if yu practice saying it ut lud r giving yur pet cat the cmpliment first, d that.
“Hey, great dress!”
Feel free t cmpliment strangers. In Bhns ’research, students n a cllege campus were tld t apprach a stranger f the same gender and cmpliment them abut, fr example, their nice shirt. Befre heading ut, the study participants tended t underestimate their psitive effect while verestimating hw annying it wuld be. Acrss all cntexts, strangers are mre likely t be pleased than cnfused. Plus, wh knws? 40
A. Respect is vital when yu deliver cmpliments.
B. Yu make even rdinary mments feel extrardinary.
C. One way t vercme this fear is t d a practice run.
D. In situatins that call fr a cmpliment, dn’t hesitate.
E. Yu bring ut the best in peple when giving a cmpliment.
F. Yu might make a new friend in additin t making smene’s day.
G. She hlds that peple feel better after giving and receiving a cmpliment.

After unpacking, I called a taxi t take me t them. Night fell dwn cmpletely by the time I gt there. The cl wind cvered my bdy when I walked n a bridge where my cusins were fishing.
