In the past, Martha had lunch in the school canteen every day; and every day she and her classmates had to eat really terrible food.Then one day, Martha decided to start a blog. She called it Never seconds. Martha had a simple idea: to take a photo of lunch at school every day, and then to put it in on her blog. Very quickly, Martha's blog became very popular, and in seven weeks it had two million hits.The blog's popularity was great news for Martha, but it wasn't very good news for the school. Everyday people around the world could see the terrible meals that they were serving. After a while, the school decided to do something to stop this.Martha describes what happened on her blog: "This morning the head teacher took me out of the maths class and I went to her office. She said that I could not take any more photos of my school dinners because of a headline in a newspaper today. I only write my blog, not newspapers, and I am sad I can no longer take photos.However, the story has a happy ending. People from around the world began to protest (反对) against the actions of the school and Martha was able to write her blog again. What's more, meals at the school have now got much better. At the age of only nine, Martha is someone who has already made a big difference.34. Why did Martha start her blog?A. To show her school meals to others.B.

Communicating with Teachers.D. Making a DifferenceCLoneliness, a natural feeling, is not something most people want to experience. When you feel lonely as a result of missing a loved one or a place, or preparing for a time spent away from your friends and family, here are some suggestions for you to avoid it.Focus on your health. Studies have shown that poor sleep, lack of physical activity and unhealthy food can let you feel tired and sad, causing the feeling of loneliness. Try to get eight hours of sleep every night, try to take part in at least 30 minutes of physical activity, and don't eat junk food. Eating more fruit and vegetables will also help.Bring an old hobby back to life. It's much more difficult to feel lonely if you're activelyenjoying an activity, especially one that you are good at. If you've got a hobby that you love, try to spare time for it even if you are busy, such as reading, playing a sport, cooking, painting.Avoid staying at home all day long. Spending your time in nature will probably improve your feelings and help you get over loneliness. Sunshine makes you feel happier and less focused on your loneliness. You can go hiking, go boating or go on a bike ride if you are not interested in just walking around. You may go for a coffee with your friends or even make big plans so that you have events to look forward to. First, you can think about the possible activities you might want to take part in. Then, spend a few days planning out the event, so that you are fully prepared and stress-free. If possible, include other people in your plan to make your activity more interesting.All in all, it seems that facing your own loneliness is the first step to avoid loneliness. Do your best to follow the things above. It takes efforts, but it is worth your try.38. Why do people feel lonely?A. Because they live in a poor place.B. Because they miss their loved people.C. Because they like to experience that feeling.D. Because they don't want to stay with their friends and family39. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following may lead to loneliness?A. Junk food.           B. Enough sleep. C. Physical activity.      D. Fruit and vegetables40. What can you learn from Paragraph 4?A. Spending time planning the event will make us feel stressed.B. Spending time at home alone can help avoid loneliness.C. Enjoy the sunshine and we can feel less lonelyD. It's impossible to meet friends often.41. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? DChatGPT, a smart Al chatbot (聊天机器人)tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework task.Developed by US company OpenAl, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create recipes (食谱), translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, public schools in New York City banned students and teachers from using ChatGRT on the networks and devices (设备).The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on tasks. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information."It does not build critical-thinking (批判性思维) or problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术的) and lifelong success," said Jeana Lyle from the New York City Department of EducationApart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to prevent the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.However, not all educators say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making rules on how both students and teachers use it. They have no plans to ban the tool so far.Bhaskar Vira, from the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on Al software like ChatGPT are not wise. "We have to know that AI is a tool people will use. What we need to do is make our learning, teaching and examinations suitable for a new use”, he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university.Some schools in the US banned the use of ChatGPT because ___________.A.students may use it to cheat on homework. B. it seldom provides correct informationC. it takes up most of the networks.D.it takes the place of teachers.43. Jenna Lyle thinks that ___________.A. ChatGPT might offer the wrong informationB.
