Spring Festival, Chun Jie is the first day of the Chinese lunar calendar. The whole family gather to enjoy quality family time. Dumplings are essential to the dinner, because dumplings means reunion and goodwill.

According to tradition, during the Qing Ming Festival, people put food in front of the tombs, add new soil on the tomb. Decorate the tombs with some fresh branches and knock head. Now it is a public holiday in China. Although ceremonies (仪式) have changed a little with time. Chinese still express their sadness for the dead.

In ancient times, the great poet Qu Yuan couldn’t bear the pain when his motherland was invaded (侵略), so he drowned himself in the river. Local people drop the rice balls into the river to take away fishes’ attention from Qu’s body. Later people memorialized Qu’s patriotism (爱国精神) by rowing and making Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, Duanwujie. That’s how the tradition of dragon boat racing and eating Zongzi were started.

The Qixi Festival, also known as the Chinese Valentine’s Day, falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calendar. It says that a fairy named Zhi Nv, who lived in heaven, fell in love with a cow herder named Niu Lang during her trip to earth. Zhi Nv decided to settle down on earth and lead an ordinary life with Niu Lang.

Just like an ancient Chinese poem says, the moon was rising from the sea and all the people were sharing this moment …

12. What can you learn from the passage?

A. Dumplings are the most important for people to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who got over many difficulties to sing among the stars.

This robot writer is called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it. The technology chats in a conversational way, answering questions from the Internet user. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI robots of its kind.

The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, for example, how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer.

However, ChatGPT also brings some problems. The materials (材料) they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the copyright (版权) problem and the definition (定义) of art. It could also result in many translators and writers losing their jobs or being paid much less, as their skills are no longer something companies need.

It’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that, if ChatGPT does become bigger and more popular, its effects are mostly positive.

14. The cat story in Paragraph 1 was written to ________.

A. introduce a brave cat                 B. introduce some books

C. show what ChatGPT can do   D. show how robots read stories

15. What do we know about ChatGPT?

A. It can only write songs.   B. It can do a lot of work in space.

  C. It can give an answer to any question. D. It can chat with the Internet user.

16.What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. The future of ChatGPT.   B. The disadvantages of ChatGPT.

  C. The advantages of ChatGPT.  D. The development of ChatGPT.

17. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Superfast Writing Robot     B. Good Things AI Can Do

C. A Bedtime Story by AI   D. Care-providing Robot

When thinking of e-sports (电子竞技), people usually imagine a teenage boy, sitting in front of a computer for hours, days, and even weeks. He wears glasses and is out of shape. He pays little attention to his schoolwork or family.

But things are quite different now.      18      Those, who succeed as e-sports stars, say that players have to be healthy in mind, body and spirit if they want to do well in this field.

The game Dota is one example. This game has already created a culture around itself. And many people say it is providing real benefits (益处) for players. Dota is played in teams.      19      No players can succeed alone, and teams that are cohesive (有凝聚力的) certainly have an advantage over others. It is really a good place for players to learn to work well with others.

Supporters of e-sports also say they provide a useful way for young people to deal with stress. “      20       I think it is a much better way to relax than drinking and smoking,” said Li, a Dota player.

One challenge the e-sports players face is the opposition (反对) from their parents and teachers. Most players’ parents and teachers are worried that their children’s schoolwork will be influenced badly by playing those games too often.

“     21      Those hours spent in front of a computer can become an investment (投资) in the future if we take the right steps to balance studies and games,” said Li.

A. I want to be a computer programmer someday.

B. Playing Dota can really help us deal with stress.

C. That means playing it requires a great deal of teamwork.

D. More and more young people are seemg e-sports as a future career.

E. As for me, e-sports are really about much more than just wasting time in front of a computer.

At the age of 16, Einstein always played with a group of mischievous（顽皮捣蛋的）kids. Because he was so busy playing, he didn’t study enough and failed his final exam.

One morning, when Einstein was holding a fishing rod and was about to go fishing with his friends, his father stopped him and said calmly, “Einstein, you spent so much time playing that you failed your exam. I’m worried about your future.”

“What are you worried about? Jack and Robert also failed, but don’t they still get to go fishing?”

“My boy, you can’t think like that,” his dad said.

“There is a story that people tell in our hometown. I will tell it to you now.”

There were two cats playing on a roof. One cat got caught off guard and fell down the chimney while holding the other cat. When the two cats climbed out of the chimney, one of the cats had soot（烟灰）on his face, while the other cat’s face was clean. Seeing the dirty cat, the clean cat thought its face must be dirty, so it quickly ran to the river and washed its face. The dirty cat saw the clean cat and thought its face was also clean, so it just swaggered down the street.”

“Einstein, no one can be your ‘mirror’. You have to think for yourself. If you just do what everyone else does, you will never learn.”

How to Eat in a Healthy Way

Hello, everybody. I’m Li Hua. Today my topic is how I can eat in a healthy way.

Firstly, we should never eat fried food and we never eat food with lots of sugar because they are not good for health. Secondly,   try to eat more vegetables and fruit because they can make us become thinner and healthier.

My eating habits are good. For example, I often eat healthy food, like whole meal bread, eggs, vegetables and milk for breakfast and rice, noodles, and vegetables for dinner.

I hope everyone can eat in a healthy way.
