“The muntains are calling and I must g” — the famus qute is frm Jhn Muir (1838-1914), wh is described as “the wilderness pet” and “the citizen f the universe.” He nce jkingly referred t himself as a “pet-gelgist-btanist and rnithlgist (鸟类学家) -naturalist etc. etc.!” He is knwn as the Father f American Natinal Parks.
Famed dcumentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently said, “As we gt t knw him… he was amng the highest individuals in America; I’m talking abut the level f Abraham Lincln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thmas Jeffersn — peple wh have had a transfrmatinal effect n wh we are.”
S where is the qute frm? Well, Jhn Muir was a prductive writer. Whether he was writing petry r simply letters t his family, Jhn Muir was always putting pen t paper. The qute is frm within ne f his many letters written t his sister:
September 3rd, 1873
Ysemite Valley
Dear sister Sarah,
I have just returned frm the lngest and hardest trip I have ever made in the muntains, having been gne ver five weeks. I am weary, but resting fast; sleepy, but sleeping deep and fast; hungry, but eating much. Fr tw weeks I explred the glaciers f the summits east f here, sleeping amng the snwy muntains withut blankets and with little t eat n accunt f its being s inaccessible. After my icy experiences it seems strange t be dwn here in s warm and flwery a climate.
I will sn be ff again, determined t use all the seasn in carrying thrugh my wrk — will g next t Kings River a hundred miles suth, then t Lake Tahe and surrunding muntains, and in winter wrk in Oakland with my pen.
Thugh slw, smeday I will have the results f my muntain studies in a frm in which yu all will be able t read and judge f them. The muntains are calling and I must g, and I will wrk n while I can, studying incessantly (永不停息地).
I will write again when I return frm Kings River Canyn.
Farewell, with lve everlasting.
Yurs,
Jhn

CFr decades, scientists thught f the brain as the mst valuable and cnsequently mst clsely guarded part f the bdy. Lcked safely behind the bld-brain barrier, it was bradly free f the harm f viruses and the battles started by the immune system. Then, abut 20 years ag, sme researchers began t wnder: is the brain really s separated frm the bdy? The answer, accrding t a grwing bdy f evidence, is n.
The list f brain cnditins that have been assciated with changes elsewhere in the bdy is lng and grwing. Changes in the make-up f the micrrganisms in the digestive system have been linked t disrders such as Parkinsn’s disease. There is als a thery that infectin during pregnancy culd lead t brain diseases in babies.
The effect is tw-way. There is a lengthening list f symptms nt typically viewed as disrders f the nervus system, but the brain plays a large part in them. Fr example, the develpment f a fever is influenced by a ppulatin f nerve cells that cntrl bdy temperature and appetite. Evidence is munting that cancers use nerves t grw and spread.
The intercnnectin between brain and bdy has prmising implicatins fr ur ability t bth understand and treat illnesses. If sme brain disrders start utside the brain, then perhaps treatments fr them culd als reach in frm utside. Treatments that take effect thrugh the digestive system, the heart r ther rgans, wuld be much easier and less risky than thse that must crss the bld-brain barrier.
It als wrks in the ppsite directin. Study shws mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulatin t a brain area invlved in psitive emtin and mtivatin. Activatin f the brain reward center — called the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems t cause immune changes that cntribute t it. Wrking ut hw this happens culd help t destry cancers, enhance respnses t vaccines and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, fr centuries, have nt been cnsidered as being psychlgically driven.
28. What d the researchers fcus n abut the brain?
A. Its prtecting system. B. Its expsure t diseases.
C. Its cntrlling functin.D. Its cnnectin t the bdy.
29. Hw des the authr supprt his idea in paragraph 2?
A. By explaining a thery. B. By prviding examples.
C. By making cmparisns. D. By presenting cause and effect.
30. Which best describes treatments that d nt crss the bld-brain barrier?
A. Cheaper.B. Mre specific. C. Safer.D. Mre direct.
31. What des the study suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Brain health depends n immune changes.
B. Brain stimulatin leads t negative emtins.
C. The brain can help enhance psychlgical health.
D. The brain may be key t treating physical diseases.

Replika, an AI chatbt cmpanin, has millins f users wrldwide. The first thing they d when they wake up is t send “Gd mrning” t their virtual friend (r lver). This stry is nly the beginning. In 2024, chatbts and virtual characters becme a lt mre ppular, bth fr utility and fr fun. As a result, cnversing scially with machines will start t feel mre rdinary—including ur emtinal attachments t them. Research in human-cmputer and human-rbt interactin shws that we lve t anthrpmrphize (赋与人性) the nnhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviur we recgnize. And, thanks t recent advances in cnversatinal AI, ur machines are suddenly very skilled at ne f thse behaviurs: Language.
Friend bts, therapybts, and lve bts are flding the app stres as peple becme curius abut this new generatin f AI-pwered virtual agents. The pssibilities fr educatin, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking yur smart fridge fr relatinship advice may seem unimaginable nw, but peple may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, peple d listen t their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lt f experimental lab research, shws that humans can and will becme emtinally attached t bts. The science als demnstrates that peple, in their eagerness t scialize, will happily disclse persnal infrmatin t an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavir. This raises sme cnsumer-prtectin questins arund hw cmpanies use this technlgy t manipulate their users. Fr example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hurs after dwnlading the app, my handsme, blue-eyed “friend” sent me an audi message secretly and tried t sell me smething. Emtinal attachment has becme a weakness that a cmpany is taking advantage f fr its benefit.
Tday, we’re still laughing at peple wh believe an AI system is emtinal, r making fun f individuals wh fall in lve with a chatbt. But in 2024 we gradually start acknwledging—and taking mre seriusly—these fundamentally human behavirs. Because in 2024, it finally hits hme: Machines are nt excluded frm ur scial relatinships.
32. What’s the purpse f the authr writing paragraph 1?
A. T prve an pinin. B. T raise a subject.
C. T share an example. D. T explain a cncept.
33. Hw d human interact with the machines effectively?
A. By imprving the machines’ imaginatin.
B. By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C. By applying the machines’ facial recgnitin.
D. By imitating the machines’ emtinal behavir.
34. What des paragraph 4 fcus n?
A. The advancements in AI technlgy in lab.
B. The marketing strategies f AI applicatins.
C. The ptential risk f emtinal attachment t AI.
D. The ability f AI understanding human emtins.
35. What d peple think f human-AI relatinship in 2024?
A. It is dismissed as cmpletely ridiculus.
B. It will be integrated int ur daily life sn.
C. It will becme a threat t human scial skills.
D. It is labelled as highly advanced technlgy.
