When they returned t Earth, the scientists fund the flies alive, with n evidence f the effects f radiatin.
B．Mice
Mice have lng been used t find ut mre abut hw space travel will affect the human bdy. In fact, NASA has recently published a study f mice hused at the Internatinal Space Statin. It shws that mice quickly adapt t micrgravity (微重力) cnditins.
The very first muse went int space in 1950, reaching an altitude f 137km. Hwever, unlike the fruit flies, the muse died when the rcket brke int parts due t a parachute (降落伞) failure.

This year marks the 20th anniversary f China’s first manned space missin, with Yang Liwei becming the first Chinese astrnaut t g t space. Since then, anther 19 astrnauts have reached fr the stars. The selectin f the furth generatin f astrnauts began in 2022 and is nw in full swing. Experts revealed hw tugh the training is befre astrnauts can fly t space.
The human bdy is nt designed fr space life. Astrnauts are faced with multiple challenges n a space missin. The changes in gravity can have an impact n their bdies. The sensatin f cnfinement (封闭) living in a small spacecraft fr mnths can damage their mental health. Emergencies during missins challenge their knwledge and ability t slve prblems under huge pressure. S it’s n wnder that astrnauts have t meet extremely high standards and g thrugh a tugh training prgram.
T make sure that Chinese astrnauts cmplete their missins and return t Earth safely, “Eight types, including ver 200 subjects f training, were set,” Huang Weifen, chief designer f the astrnaut system fr China’s manned space prject, tld CCTV News. Apart frm physical fitness training, it als includes basic scientific theries, psychlgical health, and mck (模拟) missins.
Amng the training subjects, the mst tiring ne is underwater training. This training is designed fr astrnauts t adapt t the micrgravity envirnment in space. Accrding t Huang, astrnauts stay underwater in suits weighing ver 100 kilgrams fr six hurs at a time. Water resistance (阻力) and the heavy suit make every mve exhausting. “Nie Haisheng, ne f the astrnauts, nce reprted a tw-kilgram lss in weight after ne underwater training exercise,” said Huang. Each astrnaut receives training fr at least three and a half years befre having the chance t g t space.

A．T stress hw challenging the training is.
B．T describe Nie’s persnal achievements.
C．T intrduce the weight limit fr astrnauts.

Develped by US cmpany OpenAI, ChatGPT has gt viral, winning 100 millin internet users since it came ut in Nvember 2022. Peple can ask the rbt t write stries and emails, create instructins fr cking a certain fd, translate languages, and answer all kinds f questins. In its wn wrds, it is “a language mdel trained in a large amunt f internet text t help users get human-like text. ”
Cmpared with Siri r ther chatbts, ChatGPT uses a much bigger infrmatin center fr training. It als uses strnger sftware and hardware t learn things by itself.

That’s why it shcked the wrld.”
But ne big prblem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes r even gives false infrmatin. When Rezza, a 28-year-ld frm Indnesia, used the rbt t write an passage, it “gave ut many examples which ther writers actually hadn’t mentined at all”, he tld a lcal newspaper. Since the rbt is trained using wrds frm the internet, it can als pick up biases(偏见) abut certain grups. These are all things that need t be dealt with.

A．Dne harm t the internet.B．Brught strng wind and heavy rain.

39．What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A．ChatGPT needs imprvement.B．Anybdy may give false infrmatin.
C．Anybdy can make mistakes.D．ChatGPT can’t get n well with humans.
40．What might be the best title f the text?
A．ChatGPT is Cming!B．ChatGPT is Catching the Wrld’s Eyes!
C．Can ChatGPT Take the Place f Humans?D．Can ChatGPT Avid Biases Prperly?
