With your support today UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, can step up operations in Ukraine and neighboring countries to help people who are forced to flee their homes to escape the military action. Will you help civilians who are forced to flee? £80 could help provide emergency relief items such as shelter, bedding and tarpaulins.

To give £80 now, visit unrefugees.org. uk/ukraine-economist, call 0800-029-3883 or fill out and return the donation form.

The number of displaced people, both within Ukraine itself and in neighboring countries, is still growing every day. Families fleeing can only take so much with them. They will need support to survive far from home in incredibly difficult and dangerous conditions.

UNHCR's RESPONSE

UNHCR has worked in Ukraine since 1994 and has not left since. There are six UNHCR offices across the country, as well as three warehouses storing humanitarian supplies. Over 100 UNHCR staff are working in Ukraine to get support to families, with a similar number in neighboring countries and more set to follow. UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said:

“Hour by hour, minute by minute, more people are fleeing the terrifying reality of violence. Countless have been displaced inside the country. And unless there is an immediate end to the conflict, millions more are likely to be forced to flee Ukraine. . .

“Inside Ukraine, our staff--and other humanitarians--are working where and when they can in frightening conditions. Our staff stay, even at great risk , because we know the needs in the country are huge. . . UNHCR staff have already moved in throughout the region and are scaling up our protection and assistance programmes for refugees, in support of host governments. ”

YOU CAN HELP NOW

The support of people like you has helped UNHCR send relief items in by land and by air, but the needs are huge, and growing every day. UNHCR urgently needs more resources.

Your support today can help ensure that people forced to flee their homes are sheltered and safe.

Recently, I had lunch with a young Chinese student who studies at a college in New York. He is very bright and ambitious and I enjoyed our conversation. Still. I felt upset and useless afterwards because I was not able to provide him with any good news. Graduating at the end of this year. he asked me how he could find a job in this country and fulfill his career dreams.

In recent years, students who found a job here after graduation have had to go through a cruel lottery system to obtain their H-1B working visa. And the success rates have been declining year after year because of the ever growing number of applicants. Last year. there were 233. 000 applicants. and only 30 percent of them were lucky. about half of the rate in 2013.

And it can only become worse. US former President Donald Trump's immigration policies in this country have been tightening up and this trend will continue for at least the next few years. In this case. foreign students studying social sciences. a field in which starting salaries are rarely above the required amount. can kiss their visa hopes goodbye.

Compared to the older generation of Chinese students. today's young people no longer consider the U'S as the only option. Many start to think China offers better opportunities in the longer term.

This is not to say that Chinese students in the U'S are not interested in job opportunities here any more. A few years of work experience in the US can give them advantages when they finally land back in their home country. But if the job opportunities are largely reduced by the tightening of immigration policy. I expect there will be a decline. And if that happens. it is the American economy that will suffer from the loss of those educated. hard-working and talented immigrants.

24. The author felt useless because ___.

A. he couldn't find a job in the fierce job market

B. he was less bright and ambitious than the Chinese young student

C. he couldn't win the cruel lottery

D. he had to make the Chinese student realize it was difficult to find work there

25. Which is not the reason why foreign students have difficulty finding jobs in the US?

A. It is increasingly hard for them to get their H-1B working visa.

B. The number of applicants in the job market is ever growing.

C. Donald Trump's immigration policies have been tightening up.

D. The starting salaries they require are higher than expected.

26. Supposing there were 250, 000 applicants in 2013, how many of them got their H-1B working visa?

A. 125, 000.

B. 75, 000.

C. 150. 000.

D. 200, 000.

27. What's the writer's attitude towards the tightening of immigration policy in the US?

A. Indifferent.

B. Concerned.

C. Favorable.

D. Objective.

C

A competition making up Versailles literature was once launched on Sina Weibo. So what is Versailles literature?

Actually. the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic （贵族化的）life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer in 2020. Known as humblebragging, it is a big talk disguised as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate?” and "I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off-usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that's not the point.

As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more dishonest than the appearance of modesty. ” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging? published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one's accomplishments in a circuitous way.

However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebrazgging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former's insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity.

People don't like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers, ” said Francesca Gino.

So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back?" Just pretend you don't get whatever it is they try to show off. " a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints. ”

28. Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”?

A. You know who my father is? My father is Li Gang.

B. I'm fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.

C. It's a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.

D. Got five offers to date. I'm at a loss which to choose.

29. What is the psychology behind humblebragging?

A. To earn others' admiration.

B. To win others' sympathy.

C. To show his/her sincerity.

D. To mask his/her complaint.

30. What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. indirect

B. straightforward

C. obvious

D. sharp

31. What can't be inferred from the passage?

A. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.

B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.

C. If you want to be perceived positively, avoid using Versailles literature.

D. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.

D

Even if you aren't into artificial intelligence, it's time to pay attention to ChatGPT, because this one is a big deal. ChatGPT is an Al chatbot system that OpenAI released in November to show off and test what a very large, powerful Al system can accomplish.

ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models. It lets you type natural-language prompts and then offers conversational responses. It remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It finds relevant information in its oceans of training data, and converts that into plausible-sounding paragraphs of text.

You can ask it countless questions and often will get an answer that's useful. For example. you can ask it encyclopedia questions like. "Explain Newton's laws of motion. " You can tell it. “Write me a poem. " and when it does. say. "Now make it more exciting. ” You can ask it to write a computer program that'll show you all the different ways you can arrange the letters of a word.

A few days after its launch. more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January. accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.

Many people fear that ChatGPT might help students cheat better. But as with many other technology developments. it's not a simple black-and-white situation. Decades ago. students could copy encyclopedia entries and use calculators. and more recently. they've been able to usesearch engines and Wikipedia. ChatGPT offers new abilities for everything from helping with researeh to doing your homework for you outright.

Dustin York. an associate professor of commination at Maryville University. hopes educators will learn to use ChatGPT as a tool and realize it can help students think critically.

" Educators" thought that Google, Wikipedia, and the Internet itself would ruin education, but they did not. "York said. "What worries me most are educators who may actively try to discourage the acknowledgment of Al like ChatGPT. It is a tool, not a villain. "

Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV.

36_He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more. he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.

37 He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.

Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. 38_Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching.

A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: First, as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. 39_They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.

If the detective has to deceive （欺骗）the world, the world often deceives him. 40 And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-mindedness-as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform.

A. He can't get any evidence from the witnesses.

B. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem.

C. Little of his time is spent in chatting.

D. Sometimes he can chat with others to relax himself.

E. Second, as expensive public servants, they have to get results.

F. The first difference is that a policeman's real life revolves round criminal law.

G. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth.

There aren't many parents who would say that raising children is easy. For many people, having children can 41 parents to choose between career and family.
