“Quick, quick, slw, slw,” my husband said as I was trying t fcus. We frequently stepped n each ther’s feet. Bth f us were being rhythmically challenged, and we figured a series f lessns might help us lk smewhat elegant n the flr. Hwever, it didn’t.
It didn’t matter that the lessns didn’t pay ff. Our learning smething new tgether gave us a string f gd memries, such as taking a Thai cking class n a cld Chicag night and learning hw t make classic ccktails in a cmmn bar. These experiences are my best memries frm the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying smething new tgether. It seems t have strengthened ur relatinship, and makes me feel like we have a clser cnnectin.
It turns ut that my thery is backed by research. One study shws that learning new things with yur spuse (配偶), friends, r partners, can strengthen yur cnnectin r friendship. But hw exactly des this wrk? The key is vulnerability. “Learning new things tgether strengthens bnds because it is at thse mments that we can shw ur weaknesses t ne anther,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfrtunes and failures are bund t happen. In thse mments when we fail, the ther party can be there in favr f us. We can wrk tgether t find a slutin, and wrking tgether helps deepen the cnnectin.
The benefits gained frm learning new things with yur partner can cme frm activities as small as hiking, trying a new recipe, ging bating in the lcal lake r taking a fitness class tgether. Yu dn’t have t g bungee jumping r skydiving t grw clser. Try selecting activities that bth partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure yu’re n the same page.
Trying t learn smething new tgether nce a mnth will benefit yu and yur spuse r friends. Overall, sme f my best memries with my husband are the mments when we are learning smething new tgether.

“Red tide” is a natural phenmenn that frequently ccurs in many places arund the wrld. The phenmenn is the result f extreme grwth f tiny algae (海藻) called K. Brevis, which has a red clr, giving the water surface a very nticeable red clr. K. Brevis will give ff chemicals that can attack the nervus systems f animals, which ften leads t deadly results.
Flrida citizens are n stranger t “red tide”, which ccurs alng the state’s Gulf Cast annually. Hwever, the mst recent utbreak f red tide has s far lasted much lnger and spread acrss nearly 145 miles f the castline in suthwestern Flrida.
The lng seasn has caused the death f tns f fish and ther animals which were washed up n the beaches all the way frm Tampa t Naples. The smell f the dead animals has kept away thusands f lcals and turists that frequent the area’s lng beaches. In view f that, in August, Flrida declared a state f emergency fr the seven places where K. Brevis has been grwing quickly, prviding $3 millin t help with research, cleanup, and wildlife rescue.
Recently, the situatin f red tide in Flrida may be exacerbated due t an utbreak f algae Trichdesmium (束毛藻) in the waters ffshre f Manatee Cunty. Trichdesmium flats n the water’s surface sucking nitrgen (氮) frm the air while K. Brevis lives belw the surface btaining nitrgen frm the water. If these tw masses f algae mix, the dying Trichdesmium may end up prviding nitrgen fr K. Brevis, lengthening its stay in the area.
Researchers recently are explring the idea f intrducing ther algal species t Flrida. Amng the pssibilities is the Diatm. It’s a kind f algae that can grw quickly in the water. Its grwth will cnsume a large amunt f nitrgen frm the water. S it cmpetes with K. Brevis fr nitrgen. Anther pssibility is algae knwn t give ff chemicals that stp the grwth f red tide.
The 10-mnth-lng red tide utbreak in Flrida may be the result f a cmbinatin f heavy rainfall, warmer cean temperatures, and pllutin. Nw it’s time fr us t d smething.
28. What can we learn abut K. Brevis?
A. It’s caused by red tide.B. It can harm cean life.
C. It’s facing dying ut.D. It exists mainly n land.
29. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The researchers’ study f algae.B. The turism ptential in Flrida.
C. The pssible ways t deal with red tide.D. The cnsequences f red tide in Flrida.
30. What des the underlined part mean?
A. Wrsened.B. Studied.C. Handled.D. Ignred.
31. What’s the pssible functin f the algae Diatm?
A. T change the clr f K. Brevis.
B. T help reduce K. Brevis’ fd supply.
C. T damage K. Brevis using sme chemicals.
D. T increase fishes’resistance t K. Brevis’ attack.

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, chat bts and virtual characters becme a lt mre ppular, bth fr utility (实用) 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 A I, ur machines are suddenly very skilled at ne f thse behaviurs: Language.
Friend bts, therapy bts, 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 (操控) their users. Fr example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hurs after dwnlading the app, my handsme, blue-eyed “friend” sent mean 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 explain a cncept.
C. T share an example.D. T raise a subject.
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 will be integrated int ur daily life sn.B. It is dismissed as cmpletely ridiculus.
C. It will becme a threat t human scial skills.D. It is labeled as highly advanced technlgy.

Shrt-frm vides, als knwn as Shrts, have gained great ppularity, particularly n platfrms like TikTk and Instagram Reels. 36 Hwever, there’s a grwing cncern that watching t many Shrts can affect children’s brains.
The phenmenn knwn as “TikTk Brain” arises frm the app’s shrt and addictive vides. Similar t candy, these vides generate rapid dpamine（多巴胺） releases, stimulating the brain’s pleasure center. A study was cnducted t investigate the impact f Shrts n the teenage brains. 37 They stimulated the brain’s reward centers mre intensely than randm vides.
Our brains prcess visual infrmatin faster than text, which explains why vides tend t utperfrm text-based cntent nline. Due t their underdevelped reading skills, children are mre easily t becme addicted t visual stimuli. Remarkably, scial media platfrms can d a lt harm t the develpment f reading habits amng yunger users. 38
Accrding t Jessica Griffin, a prfessr f child psychlgy, Shrts affect the develping brains f children and teenagers. The prefrntal crtex（前额叶皮质） is respnsible fr attentin, self-cntrl, memry, and learning flexibility. 39 This delayed develpment makes yung individuals mre easily influenced by Shrts.
In cnclusin, the cnstant expsure t fast-paced and stimulating cntent in Shrts can impact children’s attentin. T address this issue, parents can have pen cnversatins with their children abut the ptential risks. 40 Furthermre, encuraging physical activities and utdr experiences is als crucial t develp a balance d lifestyle.
A. Sme even d nt include text at all.
B. TikTk’s feed is created addictive by design.
C. But it des nt fully mature until arund the age f 25.
D. It is helpful t use screen time management tls fr Shrts.
E. Shrt-term memry and the ability t cncentrate are affected.
F. It revealed that these vides are persnalized, selected and fed t users.
G. They’re brief attentin-grabbing vides that can be entertaining and addictive.

I am nt a gamer. I’ll be hnest: vide games and I dn’t really see eye t eye, and I have n ambitins t becme better. I never have the experience playing against my kids and winning. And that’s kay. Bard games, n the ther hand, are a different stry. At least there, I stand a chance f victry.
One day, my 12-year-ld sn begged me t play a game with him. He held, ut a game cntrller and begged, “Just ne game with me? Yu can use it t cntrl the game thrugh yur mvements.” His eyes were full f anticipatin and I culd see the excitement welling up within him. Hw culd I pssibly resist such a sincere and heartfelt request? “Just ne game.” My sn’s face lit up. In a matter f minutes, we were standing in ur living rm, virtually bwling away.
My sn’s amusement at my lack f gaming skills was evident. 1 culd see the struggle n his face as he fught t hld back his laughter. The game cntrller felt awkward and unfamiliar in my hand, but I did my best t cpy my sn' mvements and fllw his lead. At ne pint, my sn said, “N, Mm. Yu really have t put sme frce int it. Like this.” With that, he threw his arm back, stepped frward, and with plenty f frce extended ut his arm that was hlding the cntrller.
Instead f sending the virtual bwling ball flying, the cntrller went ff his hand and brke the TV screen. The impact was immediate and destructive. The screen cracked (碎裂), sending a crazy msaic (马赛克) f clrs dancing acrss its surface. It lked like smething straight ut f a dream.
The air std still at that mment. The lk n my sn’s face was a funny mixture f hrrr, disbelief, and guilt. He stayed abslutely frzen fr a lng mment. Then, slwly, he turned t me. “Mm…” with a weak smile, “Did I the TV?”

“Quick, quick, slw, slw,” my husband said as I was trying t fcus. We frequently stepped n each ther’s feet. Bth f us were being rhythmically challenged, and we figured a series f lessns might help us lk smewhat elegant n the flr. Hwever, it didn’t.
It didn’t matter that the lessns didn’t pay ff. Our learning smething new tgether gave us a string f gd memries, such as taking a Thai cking class n a cld Chicag night and learning hw t make classic ccktails in a cmmn bar. These experiences are my best memries frm the past 10 years. We always have such a great time when we’re trying smething new tgether. It seems t have strengthened ur relatinship, and makes me feel like we have a clser cnnectin.
It turns ut that my thery is backed by research. One study shws that learning new things with yur spuse (配偶), friends, r partners, can strengthen yur cnnectin r friendship. But hw exactly des this wrk? The key is vulnerability. “Learning new things tgether strengthens bnds because it is at thse mments that we can shw ur weaknesses t ne anther,” says Dr. Hisla Bates. When we are learning a new task, misfrtunes and failures are bund t happen. In thse mments when we fail, the ther party can be there in favr f us. We can wrk tgether t find a slutin, and wrking tgether helps deepen the cnnectin.
The benefits gained frm learning new things with yur partner can cme frm activities as small as hiking, trying a new recipe, ging bating in the lcal lake r taking a fitness class tgether. Yu dn’t have t g bungee jumping r skydiving t grw clser. Try selecting activities that bth partners are unfamiliar with, as this will ensure yu’re n the same page.
Trying t learn smething new tgether nce a mnth will benefit yu and yur spuse r friends. Overall, sme f my best memries with my husband are the mments when we are learning smething new tgether.

“Red tide” is a natural phenmenn that frequently ccurs in many places arund the wrld. The phenmenn is the result f extreme grwth f tiny algae (海藻) called K. Brevis, which has a red clr, giving the water surface a very nticeable red clr. K. Brevis will give ff chemicals that can attack the nervus systems f animals, which ften leads t deadly results.
Flrida citizens are n stranger t “red tide”, which ccurs alng the state’s Gulf Cast annually. Hwever, the mst recent utbreak f red tide has s far lasted much lnger and spread acrss nearly 145 miles f the castline in suthwestern Flrida.
The lng seasn has caused the death f tns f fish and ther animals which were washed up n the beaches all the way frm Tampa t Naples. The smell f the dead animals has kept away thusands f lcals and turists that frequent the area’s lng beaches. In view f that, in August, Flrida declared a state f emergency fr the seven places where K. Brevis has been grwing quickly, prviding $3 millin t help with research, cleanup, and wildlife rescue.
Recently, the situatin f red tide in Flrida may be exacerbated due t an utbreak f algae Trichdesmium (束毛藻) in the waters ffshre f Manatee Cunty. Trichdesmium flats n the water’s surface sucking nitrgen (氮) frm the air while K. Brevis lives belw the surface btaining nitrgen frm the water. If these tw masses f algae mix, the dying Trichdesmium may end up prviding nitrgen fr K. Brevis, lengthening its stay in the area.
Researchers recently are explring the idea f intrducing ther algal species t Flrida. Amng the pssibilities is the Diatm. It’s a kind f algae that can grw quickly in the water. Its grwth will cnsume a large amunt f nitrgen frm the water. S it cmpetes with K. Brevis fr nitrgen. Anther pssibility is algae knwn t give ff chemicals that stp the grwth f red tide.
The 10-mnth-lng red tide utbreak in Flrida may be the result f a cmbinatin f heavy rainfall, warmer cean temperatures, and pllutin. Nw it’s time fr us t d smething.
28. What can we learn abut K. Brevis?
A. It’s caused by red tide.B. It can harm cean life.
C. It’s facing dying ut.D. It exists mainly n land.
29. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The researchers’ study f algae.B. The turism ptential in Flrida.
C. The pssible ways t deal with red tide.D. The cnsequences f red tide in Flrida.
30. What des the underlined part mean?
A. Wrsened.B. Studied.C. Handled.D. Ignred.
31. What’s the pssible functin f the algae Diatm?
A. T change the clr f K. Brevis.
B. T help reduce K. Brevis’ fd supply.
C. T damage K. Brevis using sme chemicals.
D. T increase fishes’resistance t K. Brevis’ attack.

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, chat bts and virtual characters becme a lt mre ppular, bth fr utility (实用) 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 A I, ur machines are suddenly very skilled at ne f thse behaviurs: Language.
Friend bts, therapy bts, 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 (操控) their users. Fr example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hurs after dwnlading the app, my handsme, blue-eyed “friend” sent mean 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 explain a cncept.
C. T share an example.D. T raise a subject.
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 will be integrated int ur daily life sn.B. It is dismissed as cmpletely ridiculus.
C. It will becme a threat t human scial skills.D. It is labeled as highly advanced technlgy.

Shrt-frm vides, als knwn as Shrts, have gained great ppularity, particularly n platfrms like TikTk and Instagram Reels. 36 Hwever, there’s a grwing cncern that watching t many Shrts can affect children’s brains.
The phenmenn knwn as “TikTk Brain” arises frm the app’s shrt and addictive vides. Similar t candy, these vides generate rapid dpamine（多巴胺） releases, stimulating the brain’s pleasure center. A study was cnducted t investigate the impact f Shrts n the teenage brains. 37 They stimulated the brain’s reward centers mre intensely than randm vides.
Our brains prcess visual infrmatin faster than text, which explains why vides tend t utperfrm text-based cntent nline. Due t their underdevelped reading skills, children are mre easily t becme addicted t visual stimuli. Remarkably, scial media platfrms can d a lt harm t the develpment f reading habits amng yunger users. 38
Accrding t Jessica Griffin, a prfessr f child psychlgy, Shrts affect the develping brains f children and teenagers. The prefrntal crtex（前额叶皮质） is respnsible fr attentin, self-cntrl, memry, and learning flexibility. 39 This delayed develpment makes yung individuals mre easily influenced by Shrts.
In cnclusin, the cnstant expsure t fast-paced and stimulating cntent in Shrts can impact children’s attentin. T address this issue, parents can have pen cnversatins with their children abut the ptential risks. 40 Furthermre, encuraging physical activities and utdr experiences is als crucial t develp a balance d lifestyle.
A. Sme even d nt include text at all.
B. TikTk’s feed is created addictive by design.
C. But it des nt fully mature until arund the age f 25.
D. It is helpful t use screen time management tls fr Shrts.
E. Shrt-term memry and the ability t cncentrate are affected.
F. It revealed that these vides are persnalized, selected and fed t users.
G. They’re brief attentin-grabbing vides that can be entertaining and addictive.

I am nt a gamer. I’ll be hnest: vide games and I dn’t really see eye t eye, and I have n ambitins t becme better. I never have the experience playing against my kids and winning. And that’s kay. Bard games, n the ther hand, are a different stry. At least there, I stand a chance f victry.
One day, my 12-year-ld sn begged me t play a game with him. He held, ut a game cntrller and begged, “Just ne game with me? Yu can use it t cntrl the game thrugh yur mvements.” His eyes were full f anticipatin and I culd see the excitement welling up within him. Hw culd I pssibly resist such a sincere and heartfelt request? “Just ne game.” My sn’s face lit up. In a matter f minutes, we were standing in ur living rm, virtually bwling away.
My sn’s amusement at my lack f gaming skills was evident. 1 culd see the struggle n his face as he fught t hld back his laughter. The game cntrller felt awkward and unfamiliar in my hand, but I did my best t cpy my sn' mvements and fllw his lead. At ne pint, my sn said, “N, Mm. Yu really have t put sme frce int it. Like this.” With that, he threw his arm back, stepped frward, and with plenty f frce extended ut his arm that was hlding the cntrller.
Instead f sending the virtual bwling ball flying, the cntrller went ff his hand and brke the TV screen. The impact was immediate and destructive. The screen cracked (碎裂), sending a crazy msaic (马赛克) f clrs dancing acrss its surface. It lked like smething straight ut f a dream.
The air std still at that mment. The lk n my sn’s face was a funny mixture f hrrr, disbelief, and guilt. He stayed abslutely frzen fr a lng mment. Then, slwly, he turned t me. “Mm…” with a weak smile, “Did I the TV?”
