Here's how to make a model submarine(潜水艇)that dives and comes up from underwater like a real one.
You'll need
Plastic bottle; Tape; Four coins; Thin plastic tube(管子); Waterproof modeling clay (防水黏土);Small scissors; Tub(盆).
You'll follow
1. Cut two small holes on one side of
the bottle.
Tape coins to that side of the bottle.
Remove cap; seal(密封) the tube to the bottle with clay.
2. Fill tub with water; put bottle in and let it fill with water.
3. Gently blow into the tube and watch what happens. Stop blowing and close the tube with your thumb(大拇指). Lift your thumb and watch what happens.
You'll see
When you blow, air pushes out water; the bottle becomes lighter and comes up.
Bottle sinks(下沉)when it fills with water and coins weight it down.
Coins keep holes pointing downward, so air does not escape.
When you stop blowing and seal the tube with your thumb, the bottle floats. Lift your thumb, air escapes through the tube and the bottle sinks.
A real submarine works this way, by filling tanks with air or water.
31. Which step needs the help of small scissors?
A. Blowing the air into the bottle. B. Sealing the tube to the bottle.
C. Cutting holes on the bottle. D. Weighting the bottle down.

One morning, I saw a little kitty on the porch(走廊). I put some food in the dish and stood there waiting for her to come over, instead, she didn't move forward but ran and hid. She thought she was hiding, but I could see exactly where she was. I left her alone and soon she came up for her breakfast.
I tried keeping this information from my wife Jenny because she did not like animal pets. According to her, all of these animals have fleas, and she hates fleas. At last she became aware of my porch friend, and she wanted it gone directly. However, I kept feeding the little kitty, and like all little kitties, it grew into an adult.
“We must, ”Jenny said most clearly, “get rid of that little kitty because it can't stay here. ” “Well, ”I said as patiently as possible, “I'll get rid of it when it's old enough to leave. ”
A few months passed and I noticed the little kitty's belly(腹部)seemed to be larger. I just thought she was well fed. But Jenny noticed what was happening at the time.
“That kitty better not be pregnant, ”Jenny stated most worryingly.
It was a very exciting day for me because this meant we could not get rid of the little kitty. Later, Miss Kitty had her little kitties. She had four, but only one survived.
“If you are going to keep it, it will have to be operated on. I will make the plan. ”Jenny said. The date for the operation had been made.
I went along with it, after all, what else could I do?
Several days before the date, Jenny looked out onto the porch and shouted, “Oh, no, it can't be so. ”
After a few days of watching, my poor wife concluded that Miss Kitty was pregnant again. Then she had to give up the plan.
I often laugh on the inside and try to keep it from the outside.
This time Miss Kitty had more kitties, and all of them lived. And then there were four! 34. The little kitty didn't move forward because

Making time for tea
These days, milk tea shops can be seen everywhere. However, it's not easy to find one run by high school students.
Wu Jiawei, 16, is the owner of a milk tea shop in Maoming, Guangdong province. The Senior 2 student has run the shop for half a year and his milk tea is loved by students. The average daily turnover(营业额) is more than 1, 000 yuan.

Wu used specific ways to attract students. For example, the price of a cup of milk tea at Wu's shop is around 10 percent lower than the drinks at others. Also, Wu's shop opens at 4 p. m. on weekdays, right after school. Although he has the stress of balancing study and work, this exactly meets students' needs.
He hired a friend who is studying at a vocational(职业的)school to manage the shop. “My customers love him because he is also a teenager and can chat with them about study and life, ”Wu said. “My idea of good service is being personal and enthusiastic(热情的). ”
Wu also runs self-media accounts, like Douyin and Xiaohongshu, to improve his business. He used titles like“a16-year-old high school student opens his own shop” to catch people's attention.
In the future, Wu wants to make his brand a chain store in China. He wants to make innovations (创新)in both taste and packaging, and he says this will be his lifelong career.

Recently, the topic about ChatGPT is quite hot. It was released(发布)by a company called OpenAI last year. Is ChatGPT going to change the world? Let's learn what exactly it is.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a computer program that can understand and reply to human language. It can be used for things like having a conversation or finishing a sentence. Even this sentence that you are reading now was written by ChatGPT.
That's right—I asked ChatGPT to write a paragraph including a basic explanation of ChatGPT in simple terms and it came up with that explanation of itself on its own.
What's amazing is that it seems to be a human in its ability to understand questions and answer them well. “Write a story about Boris Johnson in the style of Roald Dahl, ”you can ask it, and it'll show you a pretty good children's story. “Write a list of reasons why London is better than New York, ”and it'll explain how London is more historic and has better public transport.
One area where I've found it mostly useful is that it can write computer code(代码). Unlike the English language, when you write code, it has to be very exact and carefully structured—but when I asked ChatGPT to write me a program that would put some data into a database(数据库)for me, within seconds it showed something that would have taken me hours to do manually.
________▲______
It isn't, however, completely human-like. For example, it sometimes shows things that sound true, but are just nonsense. And it can't do maths. Though it is better at some tasks than others, its ability to rhyme still needs to be improved.
It doesn't replace(取代)the human completely, but it does many things quicker. In the same way, it's easy to imagine in the future every time we write something, we may have an unbelievably smart AI helper helping us get started. So I completely believe that ChatGPT—or something like it—is going to change the world. Our computers will no longer be just a machine, but our partner too.
So, maybe now you have to worry about whether you can keep your job.
42. Which of the following is NOT true about ChatGPT?
A. It can write a computer program within several seconds.
B. It is released by a company called OpenAI last year.
C. It'll replace the human completely in the future in all fields.
D. It's a computer program that can understand human's language.
43. How does the writer develop the part o f“What is ChatGPT?”?
A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers.
C. By making charts. D. By asking questions.
44. Which of the following can be the subtitle (小标题)in the part?
A. The advantages of ChatGPT B. The limitations of ChatGPT
C. The introductions of ChatGPT D. The purposes of ChatGPT
45. What might the writer continue to write at the end of the passage?
A. The risks ChatGPT brings to our job.
B. The influences ChatGPT has on our bodies.
C. The reasons why we refuse to use ChatGPT.
D. The problems we may face while using ChatGPT.

Smart-phones have become an important part of our daily lives. However, to protect younger students’ eyesight and make sure they focus on studies, primary and middle schools will have more rules to limit （限制）students5 mobile phone use at school.
The Ministry of Education （教育部）published a notice in January that restricts primary and middle school students from carrying mobile phones to school. Those who still require their phone for some reason must get their parents’ and teachers’ approval and must hand their phones over during class time. The policy aims to improve students' focus on study and fight addiction to the Internet and games.
It's reported that China had about 200 million Internet users underl8 by the year of2020, with 72 percent having their own mobile devices. This is worrying, as long-time use of smart-phones harms children's eyesight, cervical vertebrae and even the brain, according to the WHO.
On Feb. 19th, Beijing Municipal Education Commission （教委）published a notice that asked all local primary and middle schools to include rules about smart-phone usage in school management. Schools should clarify where, how and who will take care of the phones from students.
Many schools have taken action to limit students9 phone use at school. According to Zhou Dan, a teacher in Beijing, every classroom in her school has a box to store students5 phones during class. Before the new policy came out, she said that many students were crazy about their phones and most of them lack self- discipline（自 律）, they spent too much time on the phone. But now great changes are happening to the students.
Li Hua, a student from Anhui, agrees with the new policy, “In general, there’re more advantages.” he said. Li believes that the policy can help students put the focus back on study.
38. Which is NOT the aim to make rules to limit students’ mobile phone use at school?
A. lb control the number of the Internet users.
B. To protect the students’ eyesight.
C. To help the students focus on studies.

②keep phones by themselves during the class
③hand their phones over and stored by school
④clarify the time and the place playing games
A. ①③ B.②④ C.②③ D.①④
40. According to the words of Zhou Dan and Li Hua, we can know that _____________.
A. the new policy is useless for most students
B. students have more interest in phones now
C. the new policy makes good effects on students
D. only teachers agree with the new policy
41. What does the passage mainly talk about?

D. The advantages of using mobile phones.

Most young people like hamburgers and chips. However, eating too much junk food can harm your body, especially if you're between the ages of 10 and 19.
"Junk food shapes teen brains in ways that harm their ability to think, learn and remember. " said Amy Reichelt, a professor at Western University, Canada. Her team reviewed more than 100 studies, about how poor food can influence teen brains. They found teenagers are more sensitive （敏感的）than any other age group to junk foods with much fat and sugar as their brains are not yet fully formed.
Teen brains are still developing the ability to assess risks and control actions. The prefrontal cortex （前额皮层）is the part of the brain that tells us we shouldn't eat chips and helps us defend against that urge. However, this part is the last to mature- it doesn't fully develop until we are in our early 20s.
Meanwhile, teen brains get more excited from rewards. The parts of the brain that make us feel good when we do something pleasurable - like eating tasty foods - are fully developed by the teen years. In fact, these parts are even more sensitive when we are young. That's because dopamine, a natural chemical that lifts our mood when we experience something good, is especially active in teen brains.
Reichelt's team conducted a study using mice, whose brains develop much like our own. They discovered that the teenage55 mice that had a high-fat diet performed worse on memory tests than those eating a normal diet. Researchers said the high-fat diet may make the mice's prefrontal cortex work less effectively.
So, what's the best way to say no to junk food? Researchers suggest exercise. When we exercise, the brain's reward system becomes less sensitive to food. Exercise also leads the body to make a protein that helps brain cells grow and boosts connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain parts. The prefrontal cortex can work better to help us make wise decisions and control ourselves.
42. According to the passage, who may like eating junk food most?
A. An 8-year-old boy who likes playing basketball.
B. A 13-year-old girl who is good at dancing and running.
C. An 18-year-old student who studies in a middle school.
D. A 25-year-old man who works in an American company.
43. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about __________________.
A. the result of eating too much junk food
B. the reason why junk food harms teen's ability
C. the condition that they need to review their studies
D. the advice on how to keep away from junk food
44. What can we know about "dopamine”?
A. It only appears in teen brains. B. It helps us experience something good.
C. It helps us have good mood. D. It helps us control our actions well.
