They take work. If you train and work hard, I promise to wait for you next year and cheer you on.”I trained every day, running miles and miles. Sadly, just two months into my training, Grandpa died. He wouldn't be waiting for my second up Boston Marathon. I decided I'd run for him. That day, I ran fast. “Keep going! You can do it!"

According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with their homework.Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a powerful tool. You can ask it to write stories and e-mails, 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, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district’s networks and devices (设备).The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread inaccurate (不准确的) information.However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting (起草) policies on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.Bhaskar Vira, pro-vice-chancellor (副校长) for education at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not sensible (明智的). “We have to know that [AI] is a tool people will use,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university. What we need to do is “change our learning, teaching and examinations”. That way, we can “have integrity (诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool”.(    )17. What can we ask ChatGPT to do Except________. A. Write something.     B. Sweep the floor.     C. Answer questions.(    )18. The “move” in ________ has the same meaning as the underlined one in the passage.A. I can’t move my fingers.B. They moved to Shanghai last year.C. The move is good for our students.(    )19. Which is the most important when we use ChatGPT?A. Integrity.     B. Patience.     C. Appearance(    )20.
