Having spent mre than a decade n the dance flr, ROME — Niccl Filippi, a 23-year-ld Italian dance perfrmer, recently decided t explre Chinese culture and its traditinal dance frms and believes that this experience will nt nly bst his career, but als braden his hrizns beynd the wrld f dance.

Ever since, he has been clsely fllwing Chinese dance perfrmers and watching numerus vides t learn mre abut the traditinal style that he admires. “I prefer the traditinal style because f its light mvements. It als reflects my persnality with elegance,” he adds.
Filippi’s chance came when he was invited t perfrm fr a Chinese New Year celebratin in the central Italian city f Flrence. He has since fully cmmitted himself t the art frm, learning several pieces and putting his newfund passin int practice.
“The biggest difference that I fund (cmpared t ther disciplines) is the change f md and emtinal expressins amng dances,” says Filippi, adding that he needed t shift frm the dynamic mves f hip-hp t the graceful and fluid mvements f Chinese dance. Despite varius bstacles, Filippi’s effrts have nt gne unnticed. Tw f his friends shared vides f his perfrmances n scial media, and the respnse was verwhelming. One vide garnered 500,000 views, while the ther received 200,000 views.
Filippi believes that learning abut different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means f persnal grwth. “I like t think f a persn as a bk,” he says. “Embracing different traditins and cultures, such as Chinese culture and many thers, is like adding new chapters t my bk, making it mre diverse and wnderful.”

Cnsider the pssibility that all human technlgy started with a mistake — r at least a lack f hand-eye crdinatin. In a new study published n Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tms Prffitt, bth at the Max Planck Institute fr Evlutinary Anthrplgy in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been ur ancient ancestrs’ r ther nw-extinct early human relatives “first step tward creating the sharp-edged tls that they used t butcher animals and cut edible plants.
T d their research, Luncz and Prffitt traveled t an abandned il palm plantatin near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and cllected mre than 1, 100 pieces f nut-cracking stnes used by a trp f lng-tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack pen il palm nuts by placing them n a flat stne and striking their shell with anther stne. These mnkeys ften miss the nut and accidentally break the stnes, prducing sharp flakes. Luncz and Prffitt analyzed these stnes, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentinally prduced lked a lt like the ldest stne tls that were intentinally made by hminins (古人类).
Macaques dn’t use the sharp flakes they create fr anything, Luncz adds, nting that the mnkeys have sharp teeth and dn’t need cutting tls. The similar ancient stne tls cllected frm sme f the earliest knwn sites, hwever, shw evidence f being used fr cutting tasks. Fr example, in Oldwan, a site dating between 3.3 millin and 1.5 millin years ag, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns n the tls and fund that sme f the flakes shwed damage alng their edges, indicating that they had been used fr cutting. Cut marks n sme fssils revealed that hminins had used stne tls fr butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stne tls were anything but unintentinal by-prducts f ther punding activities.
Despite the findings t reveal the mechanism fr the emergence f flake technlgy, researchers still need t learn hw hminins made the leap frm accidentally prducing sharp flakes t picking them up and using them. Luncz and Prffitt hpe t find the missing link in further studies.
8. What can we learn frm paragraph 2?
A. The tw researchers went t Thailand and cllected 1, 100 flakes.
B. Lng-tailed macaques used the flakes t crack pen il palm nuts.
C. Macaques deliberately prduced flakes fr cutting by breaking stnes.
D. The flakes prduced by macaques were similar t hminins’ stne tls.
9. Why des the authr mentin the Oldwan site in paragraph 3?
A. T prvide specific prf.B. T clarify a cmplex cncept.
C. T present an interesting fact.D. T make a detailed cmparisn.
10. What will Luncz and Prffitt prbably fcus n in their future study?
A. Why macaques create flakes.B. Why hminins used stne tls.
C. Hw macaques cut fd with flakes.D. Hw hminins began using flakes.
11. What is the best title f the passage?
A. A mistake: the rigin f human technlgy.
B. Flake technlgy: frm macaques t hminins.
C. Punding activities: n human evlutinary curse.

MICROSOFT says it has used the natural language AI ChatGPT, created by the cmpany OpenAI, t cntrl a range f rbts with simple text cmmands.
The chatbt was trained n a vast amunt f data, including surce cde. It has previusly demnstrated the ability t write sftware based n text and even t fix errrs in existing cde. Micrsft has nw used the AI t take text cmmands frm humans and interpret them int cde that can cntrl rbts directly. In ne test, ChatGPT wrte cde t instruct a rbtic arm t create a Micrsft lg frm wden blcks. In anther, it steered a drne t reach a pint while aviding bstacles. The research was intended ”t see if ChatGPT can think beynd text, and reasn abut the physical wrld t help with rbtics tasks“.
ChatGPT isn’t in direct, real-time cntrl f the rbt, but simply creates the cde that cntrls it. Micrsft said in its blg pst that ChatGPT utput shuldn’t be applied directly t a rbt withut ”careful analysis“, but experts warn that it is risky t even begin thinking abut placing AI in cntrl f physical machines.
Mark Ceckelbergh at the University f Vienna, Austria, says that regulatins may be needed in rder t set ut where AI can be used and wh is respnsible shuld things g wrng. ”It’s a very dangerus thing t just say “let’s give cntrl f these cmputers t AI’, ” says Ceckelbergh. “The prblem with cntemprary artificial intelligence is that it’s nt transparent t the user. That’s a huge prblem. ”
Others were sceptical abut the ability f language mdels t prgram rbts fr cmplex tasks. Kathleen Richardsn at De Mntfrt University Leicester, UK, says that AI language mdels are cnvincing mimics (模仿者), but that their real ability-including their adaptability t cntrl rbts-is ften exaggerated. “I think Micrsft, and mst peple wh design rbts, have t much cnfidence in what they can d, ” she says.
12. Which functin desn’t belng t ChatGPT accrding t MICROSOFT?
A. Create cde.B. Crrect cde errrs.
C. Write sftware.D. Cntrl rbts directly.
13. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. Experts agree that we can apply AI t cde analysis.
B. Experts warn against the idea f using AI t cntrl rbts.
C. Micrsft believes ChatGPT utput shuld be used indirectly.
D. ChatGPT utput has been widely applied after careful analysis.
14. What des the underlined wrd “exaggerated” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Neglected.B. Simplified.C. Overestimated.D. Praised.
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards the ability f ChatGPT t cntrl rbts?
A. Objective.B. Favrable.C. Critical.D. Indifferent.

Living in the shadw f my tw elder sisters at cllege wh already had their lives planned ut since they were little, I was always undecided abut everything. As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I wuld like ne thing fr a week and then hate it the next. But I was cnstantly searching fr the beginning f the rainbw. Changing my dream frm a vet t an astrnaut, I thught there were varius ptins available t me. Hwever, my parents wuld shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questins as, “Why can’t yu be mre like yur sisters? What are yu ging t d with yur life? Aren’t yu interested in anything at all?” After a cuple f shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stpped talking. I was nt sure if they gave up r anticipated my dull reactins. I ften respnded, “I culdn’t answer all f yur questins nw.”
Actually, my parents just had high expectatins that never seemed t be fulfilled. Plus, like ther parents, they just wanted t give the best t me and expected me t achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mther made her thughts clear, “Yur grades aren’t high enugh. N schls are ging t want yu, dear. We didn’t pay s much mney fr nthing.” Hesitating fr a while, I said, “N matter what yu say, I believe I will enter a gd cllege.” Still, I let my emtins cntrl myself.
Certainly, I had never planned nt t g t cllege. After anther debate with my mm, I decided t make a change. N lnger wuld I sit back and let my parents mistake me fr a bad by. It was time t take actin.
I knew it was a crucial year at high schl. Releasing my feelings, I began t cllect all the knwledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any mre, but instead turned t my sisters fr help and tried my best t study. Finally, I tk the natinal cllege entrance examinatin with ease and cnfidence.
