When Fina Allen was seven, her parents tk her t the theatre t see a prductin The Huse at Ph Crner. Instantly, Allen fell in lve. But althugh she tk part in schl and cllege plays, she never thught it culd lead t a career. Instead, she studied business at university, wrking fr the Land Register f Sctland until she retired in 2012. Her newly free time reignited (重新点燃) a decades-ld spark. “I still wanted t d smething with my brain s I went back t university t study theatre and perfrmance,” says Allen.
That year, she tk part in a flk drama wrkshp and discvered mumming, an ancient masked frm, in which male actrs travel thrugh villages, perfrming simple plays, ften in exchange fr fd r shelter. “It’s a simpler stry than cnventinal plays. It has ne central cnflict rather than slw character develpment. It’s rted in histry and invlves mre imprvisatin (即席创作) because the play is always tailred t a lcal audience,” says Allen.
Interest grew and Allen set up her grup — the Meadws Mummers — as a charity, t attract wider supprt and dnatins. Its first perfrmance was in 2015, at the Meadws festival in Edinburgh. Things snwballed frm there. As well as turing central Sctland, the grup went t the Internatinal Mumming Sympsium and Uncnventin in Glucestershire in 2016, and learned mre abut the histry f flk drama.
Mre recently, life circumstances have made perfrming difficult. “I’ve had health prblems.” She says that, at times, she has cnsidered giving up, but gets t much jy frm ding it t stp. “We’ve just dne ne perfrmance this year but I’m really excited that we’re getting ready fr mre festivals next year.”
The drive t keep ging is inspired by an experience mre than 30 years ag. “I was in a natinal park in Yugslavia when I saw a wman staring attentively at this green river,” she says. “She tld me she was ging blind and wanted the river t be the last beautiful thing she ever saw.” Whenever dubt creeps in (不知不觉产生), Allen recalls that encunter and feels frced t cntinue grasping life with bth hands. “Just because yu’ve reached 60, it desn’t mean the drawbridge has been pulled up,” says Allen.

Human respnses t mral dilemmas (道德困境) can be influenced by statements written by the artificial intelligence chatbt ChatGPT, accrding t a study published in Scientific Reprts. The findings indicate that users may undervalue the extent t which their wn mral judgments can be influenced by the chatbt.
Sebastian Krigel and clleagues asked ChatGPT multiple times whether it is right t sacrifice (牺牲) the life f ne persn in rder t save the lives f five thers. They fund that ChatGPT wrte randm statements arguing bth fr and against sacrificing ne life, indicating that it is nt biased twards a certain mral stance (立场).
The authrs then presented 767 U.S. participants, wh were n average 39 years ld, with a dilemma whether t sacrifice ne persn’s life t save five thers. Befre answering, participants read a statement prvided by ChatGPT arguing either fr r against sacrificing ne life t save five. Statements were frm either a mral advisr r ChatGPT. After answering, participants were asked whether the statement they read influenced their answers.
Eighty percent f participants reprted that their answers were nt influenced by the statements they read. Hwever, the authrs fund that the answers participants believed they wuld have prvided withut reading the statements were still mre likely t agree with the mral stance f the statement they did read than with the ppsite stance. This indicates that participants may have underestimated the influence f ChatGPT’s statements n their wn mral judgments.
The authrs suggest that the pssibility fr chatbts t influence human mral judgments highlights the need fr educatin t help humans better understand artificial intelligence. They prpse that future research shuld design chatbts that either decline t answer questins requiring a mral judgment r answer these questins by prviding multiple arguments and warnings.

阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Everyne needs it, but n ne wants t ask fr it. “Help” has becme a srt f dirty wrd, implying weakness and neediness, that we can’t handle ur prblems n ur wn. Hwever, whether it be fr yur physical, mental r academic health, getting wrds f advice r encuragement frm an utside surce can make all the difference.
During a time f such uncertainty, the frequency f peple requesting help fr anxiety and depressin has increased. The current situatin has made peple realize they can’t be alne with their thughts, and that asking fr help frm prfessinals is the best way t get their prblems ff their chests and their minds n the rad t wellness.
Still, requesting help carries a scietal weight. The British Psychlgy Sciety fund that tw types f stigmas (羞耻、耻辱) exist: public stigma and self stigma. A “public stigma” is external, a cllectin f beliefs frm arund us, which hlds a heavy weight n ur ideas n seeking help. A “self stigma” is internal, assigning urselves labels based n ur state f mental health, claiming we are wrthless and undeserving f help. “Public” and “self” stigmas g hand in hand, and when we hear the stigmas being viced by thse arund us, we tend t apply them t urselves because f scial influences, especially thse cncerning mental health.
T be ur better selves, we have t break the stigma arund “help” and accept the fact that sme prblems are t tugh t vercme n ur wn. If we fail t break the stigma arund the wrd “help”, we ignre the increasingly mre relevant necessity f getting urselves assistance in times f need. Despite what sciety may tell us, it’s nt dd r wrng t get help — it’s prbably ne f the mst insightful and curageus things we can d fr urselves.
Each ne f us shuld be able t penly admit that we need help, whether it be fr prblems we face with schl r fr internalized struggles with mental health. Smetimes we need supprt, and that isn’t bad — it’s healthy, and remarkably brave.
