Mind-Bending Facts Abut Yga
It’s been arund fr rughly 5,000 years, but yga is mre ppular tday than ever. Here are sme mind-bending facts abut yga.

OAK HARBOR, OHIO—“Over there!” A tall yung man pints abve the crwd. “A magnlia is mving in the branches.” Named after the tree in which they were discvered, male magnlia warblers are eye-catching birds, with a cal-black mask and a brilliant yellw belly. Bdies and binculars twist fr a lk. Camera shutters (快门) click vilently, and then nly birdsng fills the air again.
I’m at the bardwalk f Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, fr the annual 10-day Biggest Week in American Birding Festival, created in 2010 by the cnservatin rganizatin, Black Swamp Bird Observatry. Migrating sngbirds, especially warblers, stp here every May, ne f the majr flyways fr bird migratin. As the largest birding festival in the U.S., it attracts upward f 90,000 peple, bringing in arund $40 millin t the lcal ecnmy.
Birding enthusiasm is hard t cntain. “I pretty much spent whatever I had cming in, and it went ut just that fast. Plus five credit cards,” said Greg Miller, a Biggest Week guide and birder. Miller is famus in the avian (鸟类的) wrld: He inspired the character Brad Harris, played by Jack Black, in the mvie The Big Year, in which Jack crsses the cuntry t cmpete fr the Big Year recrd—a type f treasure hunt t see the mst bird species in a year.
A similar energy spreads thrugh the gathering tday. When a rare bird shws up at Magee Marsh, peple will leave wherever they’re at and run t see whatever has shwn up. After an exciting mrning, I head t Blackberry Cmers Tavern, a well-knwn stp fr many Biggest Week attendees. The restaurant is packed with faces I saw earlier n the bardwalk. Birders frm acrss the wrld are sharing stries and dessert—a mixed crwd n their wn migratin, fllwing the birds.

If yu have used Ggle lately and been lucky—r unlucky—enugh t encunter an answer t yur query (查询) rather than a bunch f links, yu have been subjected t smething called AI Overviews, a new cre feature that Ggle has been rlling ut.
What’s different abut AI Overviews is that answers are nt simply extracted frm relevant surces but generated behind the scenes by Ggle’s generative AI technlgy. The cmpany’s gal is t give yu a persnalized, n-demand answer instead f a standard set f dcuments matching yur query. But there’s mre t the picture.
Peple’s searching needs dn’t end with factual infrmatin. They lk fr ideas, pinins and advice. Lking fr suggestins abut hw t keep the cheese frm sliding ff yur pizza? Ggle will tell yu that yu shuld add sme glue t the sauce. While a reasnable user can understand that such shcking answers are likely t be wrng, it’s hard t detect that fr factual questins. Ggle has acknwledged issues with AI Overviews and said it has addressed them. But the cncern remains: Can yu really trust any answers yu receive thrugh this service?
There are alternatives. Yu can always g back t the traditinal Ggle search with its 10 blue links. Yu can then d what yu have likely dne fr decades nw—sift thrugh sme f the tp results, visit a few f thse sites and decide fr yurself. It des take a little wrk, but it gives yu back the ability t examine multiple sites and evidence t supprt r disprve smething. Mre imprtantly, yu leave pen the pssibilities fr learning and discvery.
AI Overviews is like fast fd that gets delivered thrugh a drive-thrugh windw—it’s quick, ht and cnvenient, but nt the healthiest chice. Perhaps yu can’t affrd t eat ut at a nice restaurant every time, but it’s imprtant t avid ending up ging thrugh a drive-thrugh fr all yur nutritin. After all, yu are what yu eat, and similarly, yu are hw yu search.
28. What is a feature f AI Overviews?
A. It highlights the credibility.B. It prvides individualized answers.
C. It prduces ptinal dcuments.D. It upgrades generative AI technlgy.
29. What des the authr indicate by mentining “cheese” and “pizza”?
A. Cheese is an imprtant ingredient f pizza.
B. Peple’s needs g beynd mere infrmatin.
C. AI Overviews deals with factual infrmatin well.
D. AI Overviews smetimes ffers unreasnable respnses.
30. What des the underlined phrase “sift thrugh” prbably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Srt thrugh.B. Wait fr.C. Predict.D. Summarize.
31. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. AI Overviews: A Reliable Surce fr Query
B. AI Overviews: The End f Traditinal Search Engines
C. AI Overviews: Cnvenience at the Cst f Nutritin
D. AI Overviews: The Future f Learning and Discvery

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, published 200 years ag, is ften called the first mdern wrk f science fictin—s much s that even peple wh haven’t read it knw the stry: an ambitius yung scientist named Victr Frankenstein creates a human-like creature frm the spare parts f dead bdies, but he lses cntrl f his creatin, and chas fllws. It reflects the anxieties ver new ideas and new scientific knwledge that were abut t transfrm the very fabric f life in the 19th century.
Frankenstein is, f curse, a wrk f fictin, but a gd deal f real-life science infrms Shelley’s masterpiece, beginning with the adventure stry that frames Victr Frankenstein’s tale: that f Captain Waltn’s vyage t the Arctic. Waltn hpes t reach the Nrth Ple where he might “discver the pwer that attracts the needle”—referring t the then-mysterius frce f magnetism (磁力). The links between electricity and magnetism were a majr subject f investigatin during Shelley’s time, and a number f expeditins departed fr the Nrth and Suth Ples in the hpe f discvering the secrets f the planet’s magnetic field.
Erasmus Darwin is mentined in the intrductin t Frankenstein. There, Shelley claims that Darwin “preserved a piece f vermicelli in a glass case, till by sme extrardinary means it began t mve with a vluntary mtin”. She adds, “Perhaps a dead bdy wuld be brught back t life; galvanism (电击法) had shwn signs f such things: perhaps the cmpnent parts f a creature might be made, brught tgether, and given life.”
Hwever, Frankenstein serves as mre than just a reflectin n scientific effrt; it is als a warning tale abut the mral respnsibilities f the creatr. Victr’s scientific experiments blind him t the ptential cnsequences f his wrk. When he realizes what damage the creature has dne, he is verwhelmed with regret. But he fails t relate t the creature, which leads t the miserable events that fllw. Victr Frankenstein’s failing isn’t his ver-enthusiasm fr science but his failing t cnnect emtinally with his creatin.
32. What d we knw abut Frankenstein?
A. It is influential.B. It reflects pp culture.
C. It targets scientists.D. It is based n a real stry.
33. Why des Captain Waltn cnduct his Arctic expeditin?
A. T map nrthern regins.
B. T uncver a mysterius frce.
C. T trace the rute f great vyagers.
D. T distinguish electricity frm magnetism.
34. What d Shelley’s wrds in paragraph 3 fcus n?
A. The significance f galvanismB. Her inspiratin fr the creature.
C. The prcedure fr creating a being.D. Her supprt fr Darwin’s research.
35. What message des Frankenstein cnvey?
A. Adventure can inspire creativity.
B. Regret can lead t miserable events.
C. Creatrs shuld wrk ut the rigin f life.
D. Scientific creatins shuld include mral cnsideratins.

Many parents are lking fr ways t help their kids learn at hme. Tys advertised as teaching STEM might seem like ne way t achieve this gal. 36
The answer is yes. Tys can indeed teach science, technlgy, engineering and math cncepts—but dn’t fcus n advertising r fancy labels t find the best bets.

Tinkertys, bard games, decks f cards and building blcks.
38 In preschl, fr example, the cnstructin f cmplex blck buildings is assciated with an imprvement in math learning. Blcks, puzzles and shape tys bst spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are assciated with later math learning, suggesting that the early explratin f shapes acts as a springbard fr mre cmplex math cncepts.
There are five characteristics that make fr a gd educatinal ty: active, engaging, meaningful, encuraging scial play and fun. Gd play has these characteristics built in. Tys that allw children t build and create als have the advantage f being renewable. 39 It means that kids dn’t becme bred with them easily.
Thugh adults certainly dn’t have t participate in the building f every blck twer, sme grwn-up guidance can help bst kids’ learning frm play. One useful tl adults can use while playing with their children is “math talk”. This kind f talk encurages kids t think mre deeply abut math. 40 Parents can play guessing games with their kids like “Which is the mst?” r play simple screkeeping games like drp-the-clthespins-in-the-jar.
A. But d they really wrk?
B. Are the advertisements misleading?
C. They’re different every time children return t them.
D. Parents get invlved by having math talks with kids.
E. Cnveniently, math talk desn’t require any ty purchases at all.
