Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to carefully think about the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?”
I ask this question year after year, because my answer changes ____31____, which I find interesting and insightful. There is no objectively(客观地) correct ____32____, I believe, only answers that are ____33____ for you at any given time.
Great ____34____ have given the question thought, so you can look to the words ____35____ to them for ____36____, Russian author Leo Tolstoy wrote, “The sole (唯一的) ____37____ of life is to serve humanity.” Albert Einstein ____38____ it this way: “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” And Martin Luther King Jr. expressed the view as a(n) ____39____: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others?’”
Others came to the _____40_____ conclusion, in their own words. For instance, Scottish rugby legend(传奇人物) Nelson Henderson stated the view _____41_____ when he said, “The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose _____42_____ you do not expect to sit.” And actress Whoopi Goldberg’s meaning—of—life metaphor was to “throw little torches out to lead people through the dark”.
“There is not one big cosmic meaning for all,” author Ana’s Nin wrote. I _____43_____, which is why I recommend _____44_____ your own answer. And suggest answering it every year. And the last part of this experiment is to try to turn your answer into _____45_____. If “love” is the answer, then love more. Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful, and longer, life.

Many of us have stories about that one person who, along the way, chose to believe in or help us.
When I was a first-semester college junior, my GPA(Grade-Point Average)was in the 2.9 range—too ___46___ for the honors program that I was trying to get into because the GPA ___47___ was 3.0 at least. My advisor, Gwen Gustafson, chose to believe in me and she made a(n)___48___ for me, allowing me to get into the honors program at the University of Connecticut.
After I got into the honors program, I needed to have a faculty member who ___49___ to oversee my honors thesis (论文). Faculty members (全系教师) really get no extra ___50___ for overseeing students’ honors theses, and saying “no” is both ___51___ and easy; however, professor Amerigo Farina told me “yes” when I asked him to serve as my thesis advisor, which made my entire academic career take a big ___52___.
Life junctures (特定时刻) where someone in a position of ___53___ chooses to be ___54___ as opposed to (而非) negative can make all the difference in someone’s life.

If you find yourself in a position of power, ___56___ the requests of others is easy.

Since its release in 2022, an artificial intelligence-powered writing tool called ChatGPT has won instant praise but has also raised _____61_____, especially on school campuses.
High school student Galvin Fickes demonstrated ____62____ entering a short command can generate a summary of Jane Eyre, a book she was assigned to read. “I think it did a pretty good job, honestly,” said Fickes. Some teachers like LuPaulette Taylor are concerned that the freely available tool could be used by students to do their homework for them and ____63____ learning. “The critical thinking that we all need as human beings, and the creativity, and also the benefit of having done something yourself and saying, ‘I did that,’” said Taylor, who teaches high school English at an Oakland, California, public school.
Across the U. S., school systems are choosing to ____64____ access to ChatGPT on their computers and networks.
Developed by San Francisco-based OpenAI, ChatGPT is trained on a vast amount of language data from the Internet. When prompted, the AI generates a response using the most likely ____65____ of words, creating original text that ____66____ human thought.
“There’s no, what we call, ‘source document’, right?” she said. “Or a smoking gun to look to, to say, ‘Yes, this looks like it was ____67____ from that.’” Annie Chechitelli is chief product officer for Turnitin, an academic ____68____service used by educators in 140 countries. Turitin’s anti-plagiarism (剽窃) software checks the authenticity of a student paper by scanning the Internet for possible ____69____. But when AI writes text, each line is novel and unique, making it hard to detect cheating.
There is, ____70____, one distinguishing feature of AI writing, said Eric Wang, vice president for AI at Turnitin. “They tend to write in a very, very average way,” he said. “Humans all have personal writing styles. We are all different from average one way or another. So, we’re able to build detectors that ____71____ cases where an entire document or entire passage is uncannily average.”
Turnitin’s ChatGPT detector will come out later this year. Wang said keeping up with AI tools will be a (n) ____72____challenge that will transform education. “A lot of things that we hold as norms are going to have to shift,” he said.
AI may become acceptable for some uses in the classroom, just as calculators eventually ____73____. Teacher Steve Wright was impressed when his student used ChatGPT to create a study guide for her calculus class. “You know, if ChatGPT can make us ____74____ our hands and say, ‘No longer can I ask a student to regurgitate (机械重复) a process, but now I’m going to have to actually dig in and watch them think, to know if they’re learning’—that’s fantastic,” said Wright.
In schools and elsewhere, it seems ____75____ that AI will have a role in writing the future.
