He discvered a talent fr imprvisatin (即兴表演), respnding t a nte within a millisecnd withut batting an eyelid. “I dn’t play by ear. I play by heart.” Actually, Hram says, “My harmnica plays me — hw I feel, what I am, and what I’ve been.”
Music has enriched Hram’s life with friendship and made Hram feel “part f smething much bigger” than himself. “At a time when the circle f life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says. “Maybe we never knw cmpletely wh we are r what we can d.”

Arund 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific htline was built in the event f such an emergency.
And while it’s unlikely yur wristwatch’s pwer surce will ever be safe t eat, that desn’t mean all batteries will remain uneatable-in fact, sme are being designed with digestin specifically in mind.
A team f researchers at the Italian Institute f Technlgy recently revealed what isl being called as the wrld’s first fully rechargeable, eatable battery. As detailed in a paper published with Advanced Materials, the new device has made gd use f sme eatable materials.
“Eatable electrnic devices will have majr implicatins fr gastrintestinal tract (胃肠道) mnitring, treatment, as well as rapid fd quality mnitring,” reads the paper’s abstract, adding that althugh recent research prved the feasibility f eatable sensrs and circuits, “fully eatable electrnic devices and eatable pwer surces are still required, f which there have been very few examples.”
Accrding t the team’s findings, their prf-f-cncept battery was capable f prducing 0.65 vlts, which is safely lw enugh fr the human bdy t handle. The ingestible culd prvide 48 μA f current fr 12 minutes, r alternatively, a few micramps (微安) fr ver an hur. Such a pwer supply culd prvide enugh energy fr small electrnics alike t eatable pill-shaped mdules and ther gastrintestinal prcedure alternatives.
In a statement, researcher crdinatr Mari Cairni explained that such a prduct culd help pwer mnitrs fr bth human health cnditins and fd strage. Additinally, given their safety, prducts with strnger pwer culd be used within children’s tys, where ingestin risk is higher.
In the team’s statement, c-authr Ivan Ilic als explained that despite the battery’s relatively lw pwer, its digestibility prvides a prmising example f a battery that desn’t use any harmful materials.
8．What is the necessity f develping eatable batteries?
A．They help with the fd shrtage.
B．They can avid the harm caused by eating batteries.
C．They are useful in sme special fields.
D．They have n impact n the envirnment.
9．Which is the clsest in meaning t “feasibility” in Paragraph 4?
A．Availability.B．Flexibility.C．Respnsibility.D．Pssibility.
10．What can we infer frm the statements in the last paragraph?
A．The applicatin f the battery has a lng way t g.
B．The eatable batteries will be widely used in ur life.
C．The develpment f the eatable battery is prmising.
D．The eatable batteries will sn be put int prductin.
11．In which sectin f a magazine can we read the text?
A．News Crner.B．Stry Garden.C．Language Wrld.D．Technlgy Square.

In the face f technlgical change, creativity is ften held up as a unique human quality.
Tday hwever, AI applicatins such as Chat GPT and Midjurney seem t threaten t upend this special status. These new AI mdels learn frm huge database and user feedback, and can prduce new cntents in the frm f text, images, and sunds. As such, jbs fcused n delivering cntents — writing, creating images, cding, and ther jbs — nw seem likely t be uniquely affected by AI. The situatin seems mre cncerning when mst f these applicatins are s easy t use that even children with elementary-level skills in their natural language can use them t create cntents right nw.
This isn’t a necessary threat t peple wh d creative wrk, thugh. Rather than putting many creatrs ut f wrk, AI allws them t d it with greater speed and efficiency and reduces the time and effrt required t cme up with new ideas. Of curse, humans will still have t devte time t pssibly crrecting and editing the infrmatin AI prduces, but, verall, creative prjects shuld be able t mve frward mre quickly.
But what we can’t ignre is that AI prduces cntents cheaply and fast. S there’s always a trend that human writers, prducers, and creatrs practice less and less new human intellectual thughts and gradually rely n AI design ttally. In this way there’s a real risk that innvatin will slw dwn ver time and thus significantly change the present structure fr creative wrk.
Creativity has always been f great imprtance t innvatin prcess and hence cmpetitiveness. S, we need t understand the threats and challenges AI brings. And nce we understand what is t change and hw, we can adpt AI t create greater value and it is quite hpeful that we see further liberatin fr creativity.
12．Why d new AI mdels seem t threaten human creativity?
A．Because they cllect huge infrmatin.
B．Because they d creative wrk.
C．Because they disturb humans judgement.
D．Because they ffer easy access.
13．Hw can AI help peple wh d creative wrk?
A．By bettering the creating prcess.
B．By srting ut infrmatin int grups.
C．By helping crrect creatr’s mistakes.
D．By reducing the prducing cst.
14．What is the real risk AI may bring?
A．AI drives humans ut f wrk.
B．It is hard t discver Al’s mistakes.
C．Humans rely n AI t much.
D．N innvatin is in AI’s design.
15．What is the prper title fr this text?
A．Wh Changes the Structure f Creative Wrk?
B．Creativity: Unique Human Quality at Last
C．AI Is Destrying the Field f Creativity
D．Culd AI Threaten Human Creativity?

That lcker rm 33 became the new nrmal fr me. And finally, I gt t be n the helping end as well. Asking fr help is quite nrmal fr anyne wh lives with a 34 . “Can yu pass me my leg?” “Culd yu tie my she laces?” Helping thers and accepting help is a way f life in the Paralympics.

We met at the Leeds Grenville SPCA．We were here t find the best fit fr ur little family f three. In my heart, hwever, I think I already knew which ne was the right cat. Prtia, a quiet brwn tabby (斑猫), watched us with partially clsed eyes, seemingly saying, “Take yur time…” and I knw it’s ging t be me. As I neared her cage, ne paw extended. Finally we decided t bring hme a cat that day.
After a day r tw f settling in, Prtia became a srt f small and furry nanny t my kids. She wuld travel frm rm t rm with us during the day, usually staying clsest t my sn. She wanted t sit where he sat, lk ut the windws frm which he peered, and make curageus attempts t share whatever he was eating. At night, she wuld sprawl nt his lap during stry time. We nicknamed her “Guardian Kitten” fr the way she always wanted t be where he was, watching ver him as if he were her wn.
One day, I was gathering leaves while my child delighted in disturbing the piles. Prtia was dzing n the prch, her cars smetimes shifting tward the sund f ur vices. Then suddenly, frm dwn the street, a desperate vice cried, “N! Cme back here!” The phrase was repeated and the vlume increased as the speaker drew clser. A Glden Retriever ignred his wner and reached my prperty first. In a split secnd it leaped ver the lw fence surrunding the frnt yard.
The dg rushed tward my sn with bundless energy and bdy language that expressed that it wanted t play. “Puppy!” my sn exclaimed, spreading his arms apart in a welcming gesture. Unlike me, he was nt aware that this dg wuld, at the very least, knck him dwn with its uncntained enthusiasm. And I wasn’t ging t be able t clse the space between us in time.
