Elie Wiesel and his wife, Marion, established The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity soon after he was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize for Peace. Ellen DeGeneres would be a great candidate for the Humanitarian of the Year Award.

Ellen DeGeneres helped Talia with her last dying wish to become a make-up artist and gave her a $20, 000 check just months before she died. ” Additionally, nearly on a daily basis, she provides to those in need: a car for a family that lost everything to Hurricane Sandy; a new car and $15, 000 Sam's Club gift card to a family that sold anything necessary to have the money to adopt four boys from Ghana.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park lies on both sides of the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. Its highest peak is called “Clingmans Dome". But before it got that name, the Cherokee people called the mountain “Kuwahi”. It sits on ancestral Cherokee homelands. Since the ancient times, the landscape, including mountains and streams, has shaped the history of Cherokee people. They used that name for hundreds of years. Now, tribal （部落） members are hoping to return to the Kuwahi name.

The Cherokee Nation once spread across what is now Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. In 1838, the tribe was forcibly relocated to present-day Oklahoma-in what was later known as the “Trail of Tears”. Through sickness and terrible travel conditions, nearly 4, 000 Cherokee people died during the forced removal from their homeland. Some Cherokee managed to avoid relocation to Oklahoma by going into hiding, including on Kuwahi. “We're here today because our ancestors hid in those mountains, specifically in Kuwahi, ”Hill said.

The name change of the Cherokee's mountain came in 1859, when geographer and professor Arnold Henry Guyot labeled Kuwahi “Clingmans Dome”. The peak was named after Thomas Lanier Clingman, who was a strong supporter of slavery （奴隶制）. Clingman was not connected to the Cherokee people in any way. “Naming the mountain after Clingman erases everything that the Cherokee people are in order to rename it after someone with zero ties to our community. He didn't even live here, ” said Hill.

In June 2022, Yellowstone National Park's Mount Doane was renamed to First Peoples Mountain. “That was a huge victory for our brothers and sisters, ” Hill said. “I hope it's just the beginning of accurately recognizing and honoring numerous historically significant sites for tribes and native people nationwide. There were so many places that were special and important to native people prior to colonization （殖民）. I want to be the voice for my people, for my ancestors. ”

8. What do the Cherokee people intend to do according to Paragraph 1?

A. Save their language.

B. Go back to their homeland Kuwahi.

C. Reshape their history.

D. Change the name back to “Kuwahii".

9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. The sad history of the Cherokee people.

B. The sheltering place for the Cherokee people.

C. The causes of the decrease of the Cherokee people.

D. The traveling route of the ancient Cherokee Nation.

10. What does Hill think of "Clingmans Dome"?

A. It is related to the culture of the Cherokee people.

B. It reminds the Cherokee people of their ancestors.

C. It removes everything about the Cherokee history.

D. It reflects the slave position of the Cherokee people.

11. What does Hill actually mean in the last paragraph?

A. To add great honor to her ancestors.

B. To make his homeland well-known.

C. To express the opinions of her people.

D. To name more historically significant sites.

Set on a sloped plot （山坡）above Prague in the city＇s Troja district, Villa Sophia has no keys, no light switches and a piano that can play by. itself. The house can close the windows when it rains and read aloud materials it has selected from the Internet, based on the owners' interests.

"The house is like a brain, "said Michaela Pankova, who shares the home with her husband, Karel Panek, and their daughters. “It makes decisions for you based on previous experience. "The

home, designed by the Prague-based firm Coll Coll, is intended to go beyond automated to autonomous. “As we say, if we have to control it ourselves, it's not smart. enough, ” said Mr. Panek, a computer scientist.

The couple wanted no compromises in quality and efficiency. When they couldn't find a technology that met their standards, Mr. Panek, the brain behind his home's brain, designed his own system. While family members go about their daily lives, the system collects data and evaluates that data in real time, then comes up with solutions and implements （实施）them. It can accept deliveries when the family isn't home, thanks to individual control of every door from afar and evaluation of the home's external context. It can preheat the driveway to clear snow and ice （but only if it predicts its use, saving energy otherwise） and lock the doors.

Put energy efficiency, home security and convenience aside, the system's true benefit is that in developing beyond a smart home system to a smart home it frees the homeowner from the burden of constant control.

Although Mr. Panek calls himself a technology optimist, Mrs. Pankova said it took her some time to warm up to the system. “In the beginning I wasn't really into the idea of living in an AI house, ” she said. “During the time of the preparation and later the construction, I slowly started to be open to the idea. ”

12. What can be inferred about the house from Paragraph 1?

A. It is located at the foot of a hill.

B. It operates automatically.

C. It frees the family from wind and rain.

D. It is poorly equipped with furniture.

13. Who did some extra work to improve the control system of the house?

A. Coll Coll.

B. Mrs. Pankova.

C. Mr. Panek.

D. The couple's kids.

14. What is the best advantage of the smart home?

A. Picking up deliveries.

B. Saving energy.

C. Preheating the driveway.

D. Removing the task of constant control.

15. What do the underlined words “warm up to” probably mean in the last paragraph?

A. Apply to.

B. Adapt to.

C. Turn to.

D. Keep to.

We're all told time and again how important it is to exercise for good health. But with our busy schedules, finding the time to work out is often easier said than done. 16

UK exercise guidelines suggest that adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week for good health. 17 It is about whether or not you can still get the benefits of exercise if you squeeze （挤出）it all in on a weekend instead of spreading it throughout the week.

A recent study found that weekend exercisers had a 30% lower risk of premature death from all causes compared to inactive people. Risk of death from heart disease was also around 40% lower, while risk of death from all types of cancer was around 18% lower compared to those who were inactive. But they also found that spreading your workouts throughout the week was associated with the greatest benefits for your health. 18 That is, they had a 5% lower risk of premature death from any cause compared to weekend exercisers.

19 It suggests the more exercise you do, the more beneficial it is to your health. But this is only true up to a certain point-with research showing that doing more than five times the minimum recommended weekly activity has no added benefits.

It's well-known that exercise improves our heart fitness. This allows us to exercise longer and more intensely. 20 This is also likely the reason why people who exercise regularly have lower risk of premature death from any cause. But research shows that how often you exercise is also important for improving and maintaining fitness. Regular exercise will lead to adaptations that are good for health.

A. But debate is growing around the issue.

B. This finding is consistent with previous research.

C. Regularly active people had the best health overall.

D. Most people find it hard to do exercise at the weekend.

E. For many of us, the weekend is the only time to exercise.

F. However, it may cause serious diseases, such as heart attacks.

G. Also, it improves other aspects of our health like lowering blood pressure.

A robot has been taught to laugh at jokes to make it more human. Researchers are using AI to train robots about appropriate laughter, and 36 （distinguish） between chuckles and screams.

They described 37 （work） with a robot called Erica in the hope of making a conversation more natural. “We think that one of the important 38 （function） of conversational AI is sympathy, ” said Dr Koji Inoue, a professor. “A conversation is, of course, multimodal, not just responding correctly. So we decided that one way a robot can empathize （共 情）with users is to share their laughter, 39 you cannot do with a text-based chatbot. ＂

Creating a"40 （share） laughter" model, the researchers used AI to help detect laughter and decide whether to laugh and what kind of laughter would be 41 （good）. Four short dialogues between real people and Erica 42 （use） to test the system, which performed well.

However, the experts said there is more work to do to create 43 （true） natural laughter situations. Dr Inoue said, “The robot should actually have 44 distinct character, and it can show

this character through its conversational behaviors, such as laughing, eye gaze, gestures and speaking styles. It may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a casual chat 45 a robot like we would with a friend. ”

Autism （自闭症）is a mental disorder that affects children, particularly their ability to relate to other people. Having a child with autism adds an additional learning curve to parenting. And parents with kids with autism know just how beautiful and cruel it can be because they aren't kids who fit into society＇s typical mold （模式）. It simply means that parents, friends, strangers, caregivers, neighbors, and teachers need to find different ways to create a supportive community because every individual with autism is uniquely different. Daniel, who has autism, recently wrote down his wish and Kevin, Daniel's father, shared that because of his son's autism. Daniel typically prefers to play alone. In fact, throughout his entire childhood Daniel never once asked to go play with friends. But this year, Daniel made a special birthday wish. The request floored and shocked his father because Daniel's birthday wish was to make a few friends.

Kevin often shares updates about Daniel on social media in hope of recording his life. He is clearly aware that social skill training is important and difficult to autism children. After he learned of his son's birthday wishes, he eagerly wanted to make Daniel's birthday just a little sweeter.

On social media, he wrote, “Daniel is my son. Profoundly Autistic, he hasn't one single friend. It's his birthday today. ” He posted his son's written birthday wish and politely asked others to put in and wish his son a happy birthday. A dad's heartfelt birthday wish for his son is the most beautiful story you will find, and this one is taking over the Internet.

参考答案

Kevin didn’t realize this simple request of kindness would spread so widely. He got more than 17,000 likes and a whole heap of heartfelt birthday wishes. In fact, Daniel received thousands of heartfelt birthday wishes. Among the kind outpouring of birthday wishes, Kevin was surprised some celebrities even took a moment to say Happy Birthday. The majority of the birthday wishes came from other parents of children with autism. A dad posted a photo with his son and this caption, ＂Hey Daniel, this is my son Jacob, also autistic, on his birthday last month. I’m sure he would love to be your friend if you met. Hope you had a wonderful day.＂

Kevin reflected why there was such a positive response for such a simple request. As the comments, photos, and birthday wishes continued to pour in, he realized that people want to be loved and to be liked and that it’s a usual feeling. He wanted to remind us all: ＂Don’t ever feel like you’re alone. Because I felt like that, and I also like other families will.＂ People are created to love and be loved. This story proves we are never alone and it isn’t take much to show a little compassion and kindness to others. It goes to show no matter how uniquely present we are. we are never alone.
