    Royal family gather at Windsor Castle for first Easter Sunday service without the Queen on April 9th. Attendees and members of the royal family wore a variety of stylish hats throughout the ceremony. It is a requirement for all women to wear hats on royal occasions. This rule dates back to the 1950s when upper-class and royal women would rarely show their hair in public, according to the BBC.

    Hats were originally worn for practical reasons such as protection from the sun, rain or cold weather, but quickly people wore them for other purposes. The top hat, for example, was reserved for upper-class men and was worn at formal events such as weddings and horseraces. Women also used hats to signify social status, wealth and fashion. The larger the hat, the wealthier the wearer was believed to be.

    In addition to status, hats played an important role in British social etiquette. Men were expected to remove their hats indoors, especially in formal settings, to show respect. Women, on the other hand, were to wear their hats until seated for dinner, but then they were expected to remove them.

    But hats were not always a symbol of status and etiquette. The bowler hat, created in 1849, was worn by the working class, especially those involved in transportation. The bowler hat became an iconic item of British fashion, worn by both men and women.

    Today, hats continue to be an essential part of British culture, with many old and new hat shops throughout the country. The fedora is also making a comeback among younger generations. Shopping in hat shops provides you with a glimpse of British hat. Caps, trilbies, beanies, and berets are just some of the styles available.

8、What is the significance of the top hat in British culture?

A. It was worn by the working class.

B. It was a personal statement of fashion.

C.It was used to protect people from the rain.

D. It was worn at formal events and signified wealth.

9、What does the underlined word "etiquette" in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Routine. B. Practice. C.Manners.  D. Origin.

10、Which hat was popular among postmen and train drivers in Britain?

A.Top hat. B.Fedora. C.Bowler hat. D. Beret.

11、What's the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To attract more visitors to Britain.

B.To introduce the hat culture in British.

C. To show his or her opinions on British hats.

D. To tell an interesting story about British hats.

    "In my lifetime, I've seen two demonstrations(展示) of technology that struck me as revolutionary. The first time was in 1980, when I was introduced to a modern operating system—Windows. The second big surprise came just last year. I'd been meeting with the team from OpenAI since 2016 and was impressed by their steady progress," said Bill Gates on March 21st.

    Technically, the term artificial intelligence refers to a model created to solve a specific problem or provide a particular service. What is powering thing like ChatGPT is artificial intelligence. And recently the company OpenAI is coming out with a new technology calledGPT-4, a language model that uses artificial intelligence to generate text that is almost indistinguishable(难以分辨的) from that written by a human. Some experts and researchers are excited about the potential applications of GPT-4 in industries such as healthcare, finance, and education.

    While some people are excited about its potential, others are concerned about the potential dangers of such advanced AI technology. They worry that GPT-4 could be used for illegal purposes such as spreading misinformation, creating fake news, or manipulating(操纵) public opinion. "There's too much misinformation in the world today and the GPT-4 may create more," Joseph Bush, former director at The Daily Telegraph, told ABC News.

    They also fear that the technology will widen inequality by perpetuating biases and discrimination that are encoded in the datasets used to train the model.

    Despite these concerns, many people welcome GPT-4 warmly. Writers, poets, and other artists are eager to explore the possibilities of using the advanced technology to enhance their creativity or break through writer's block. Natural language processing researchers view GPT-4 as a tool to push the limits of artificial intelligence and deepen our understanding of human language.

12、Why did the author quote Bill Gates' speech in paragraph 1?

A. To introduce the release of GPT-4.

B. To raise the concerns about GPT-4.

C. To praise OpenAI's steady progress in AI.

C. A model created to help people solve a specific problem.

D. An APP to help readers translate languages into native language.

14、What is Joseph Bush's attitude towards GPT-4?

Despite the difficulties, the family remained a unit, always relying on each other for support. They visited new places, explored new surroundings and found comfort in sharing their experiences with one another. Before long, the family realized they had made new friends and that the new chapter in their lives had opened up amazing opportunities for them to start fresh and get closer.
