Hometown Feelings
Some people still live in their hometown. However, others may only see it once or twice a year. Nowadays, millions of Chinese leave the countryside to search for work in the cities. Among these is Zhong Wei, a 46-year-old husband and father. He has lived in Wenzhou for the last 13 years. With a hard job in a crayon factory, he doesn’t find much time to visit his hometown. “I used to return home at least once a year, but I haven’t been back for almost three years now. It’s a shame, but I just don’t have the time,” he says.
Many people like Zhong Wei regard with great interest how their hometowns have changed. Perhaps large hospitals and new roads have appeared. In many places, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from the cities to help.
“I noticed that’s true of my hometown,” adds Zhong Wei. “Children have learned to read and count at my old primary school since the mid-20th century. But now the buildings are really old. I hear they’re going to build a new school there.” Zhong Wei thinks such developments are good, and he also knows that his hometown cannot always stay the same.
According to Zhong Wei, however, some things will never change, “In my hometown, there was a big old tree opposite the school. It is still there and has become quite a symbol of the place. Most of the children in my time liked to play together under that big tree, especially during the summer holidays. It was such a happy childhood. Our hometown has left many soft and sweet memories in our hearts.”

ChatGPT: The Future of Chatbots
Chatbots have been around for a while now. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, chatbots have become smarter and smarter. One such chatbot that is making a difference is ChatGPT.
ChatGPT has been trained specifically for conversational understanding, so it is more effective at completing tasks such as chatbot development, language understanding and text generation. It is a valuable tool for businesses and individuals alike.
As users talk with the chatbot, it collects data and uses it to improve its responses. This means that over time, ChatGPT becomes more exact in its interactions with users. ChatGPT interacts in a conversational way with the users. It’s possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, accept its mistakes, challenge incorrect ideas, and refuse wrong orders.
Another advantage of ChatGPT is its versatility (多功能性). It can get many platforms together. This makes it easy for businesses to reach their customers wherever they are and offer them the support they need.
In addition to its business applications, ChatGPT has the ability to change the way we interact with technology. As chatbots become better, they could finally take the place of traditional tools like keyboards and touchscreens. Instead, we could simply talk to our devices (设备) and receive instant responses.
Of course, there are still some limitations to chatbots like ChatGPT. They can not understand complex (复杂的) emotions or solving highly special information. However, as technology continues to develop, these limitations are likely to be overcome.
In conclusion, ChatGPT is a powerful tool that is changing the way we interact with technology. Its ability to learn and personalize responses makes it a valuable thing for businesses and individuals alike. As chatbots continue to improve, we can expect to see even more exciting applications in the future.
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. ChatGPT can not understand complex tasks.
B. ChatGPT can offer many social media platforms.
C. ChatGPT has the ability to develop the business.
D. ChatGPT can learn from the robots and traditional tools.
32. The word “interactions” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A. communications B. fight
C. competition D. arguments
33. What is the passage mainly about?
A. ChatGPT is the most useful chatbot now.
B. ChatGPT has limitations but also great power.
C. Chatbots are not yet useful for businesses.
D. Chatbots took the place of traditional tools.

Living in a Game World
Eric looked at the shiny game CD in the store. Its title read Battle Ax 4: The Quest for the Five Kingdoms. As Eric stared at the cover, he knew he wanted this computer game more than anything else in the world.
That night, Eric asked his dad about the computer game. “I want you to get good grades and then I’ll think about the game.” said Eric’s dad.
Eric decided to begin to study really hard. When his grades came in at the end of the term, they were surprised—straight A’s!
The day after the school grades came out, Eric’s dad came home with a big box. Eric opened it up. Battle Ax 4 was his!
For the next month, Eric entered an amazing new world in his computer game. He found a magical sword (剑) that made him a powerful warrior (武士). He led the army of the Dwarf Kingdom and defeated (击败) the evil trolls.
Eric paid more attention to his computer game. He stopped doing his homework and lied about why he was not doing it. He even stopped hanging out with his friends. But Eric was not worried about those things because his level in the Five Kingdoms was going up.
One day Eric’s dad asked him to hand over the game. “I got a call from school,” his dad said, looking sad. “You’re not doing your homework. Your grades are going down and you’re telling lies. You’re not the fun, friendly boy you used to be.”
Eric ran to his room in tears. For days he was painful and angry. It was not until a week later that he realized that he had been wrong.
34. What did Eric’s dad want him to do before he could buy the computer game?
35. What grades did Eric get at the end of the term?

37. What do you think of playing computer games? Why?
