Recently, I was asked t discuss the cnnectin between Human Resurces and Artificial Intelligence. One speaker nted that the mst amazing thing abut Generative AI is that it can mimic（模仿）human interactin and can even teach us scial skills.
This gt me thinking: If AI culd be as near-human as she said, culd it be my friend?
As yet anther 24-year-ld affected by the lneliness epidemic that arse frm a digital-heavy, interactin-light, pst-pandemic wrld, I suffered the all t cmmn prblem f having t few friends. In the span f a year, texting began t replace face-t-face cnversatins and plans t meet up were ften canceled r delayed.
Was I suppsed t embrace AI friendships as the new nrm? Thugh skeptical, I fund myself n ChatGPT the next day. It’s a straightfrward platfrm: Type yur questin and AI answers. Dn’t like the answer? Refine yur questin, and it will adjust its answers t what yu’re lking fr.
I decided t test the thery by chatting with AI as if it were a friend. Surprisingly, I received sympathetic and supprtive respnses. After 20 minutes f chatting, I asked, “Will yu be my friend?” Fllwing a pause, it plitely declined, ending with, “If yu’re lking fr human cnnectins, it’s always great t reach ut t friends, family, r peple arund yu.”
The rejectin frm AI was expected and natural. I believe that AI can never ffer what humans can: that humanness. Every persn in yur life des, at sme pint, screw up. They may ignre yu, hurt yur feelings r speak sharply, and they never, ever let yu ask the questin again t get a different answer. AI, n the ther hand, can never be yur friend, because it will never shw up late fr yur lunch. It will never hurt yur feelings and it will certainly never be the ne t reach ut first t aplgize. AI lacks fault and the surprising jy and pain that cmes with it.
T end the grup discussin, I raised a questin. I asked the grup wh, when calling a custmer service htline, did everything they culd t skip the rbtic prmpts（提示）t speak t a real persn. Everyne raised their hand. We all desire the same cnnectin. And I knw that we still have a chance.
24．What inspired the authr t explre AI friendships?
A．Her desire t vercme her lneliness.B．Her disappintment with her real friends.
C．A speaker’s cmments n AI’s abilities.D．The efficiency f digital cmmunicatin.
25．Hw did the authr feel abut AI’s rejectin?
A．Unsurprised.B．Relieved.
C．Disappinted.D．Heartbrken.
26．What aspect f human interactin des the authr value ver AI?
A．The uncnditinal supprt.B．The reliability f respnses.
C．The speed f cnflict reslutin.D．The unpredictability f behavir.
27．What cnclusin des the authr draw abut AJ?
A．It is mre efficient than human.B．It prmises t be a real friend.
C．It cannt replace human cnnectin.D．It helps t deal with feelings f lneliness.

Shuld there be clear bundaries between public and private spaces? Japanese architect Riken Yamamt, wh was named the 2024 Laureate f the glbally recgnized Pritzker Architecture Prize n March5, has used his designs t answer this questin.
He was selected “fr creating awareness in the cmmunity in what is the respnsibility f scial demand …and abve all fr reminding us that in architecture … spaces must be created by the needs f the peple,” accrding t the 2024 Jury Citatin.
Yamamt has recnsidered the bundaries between public and private spaces as pprtunities fr scietal enrichment, believing that all spaces can benefit and serve everyne in the cmmunity, nt just the peple wh ccupy them.
This unique visin might have grwn frm his childhd. Brn in 1945, Yamamt was raised in a hme with a frnt area serving as his mther’s pharmacy（药房）and the back part as a living space. This gave him a deep understanding that public and private life are clsely linked. Reflecting n his childhd, Yamamt nted, “The threshld（门槛）n ne side was fr family, and n the ther side fr cmmunity. I sat in between.”
His masterpieces can be seen acrss the wrld, including Nagya Zkei University, Tianjin Library and Jianwai SOHO in Beijing, which all fllw his integratin（融合）philsphy. Jianwai SOHO is a gd example f this cncept. SOHO, shrt fr “small ffice, hme ffice”, emphasizes a cmbined area f cmmerce and residence.
“Fr me, t recgnize space is t recgnize an entire cmmunity,” Yamamt said t the prize cmmittee. “The current architectural apprach emphasizes privacy, ignring the necessity f scietal relatinships. Hwever, we can still hnr the freedm f each individual while living tgether in architectural space as a republic, fstering harmny acrss cultures and stages f life.”
28．What earned Riken Yamamt the 2024 Pritzker Architecture Prize?
A．His cmbinatin f traditinal and mdern styles.
B．His cmmitment t peple-fcused design.
C．His innvative apprach t rural living spaces.
D．His pineering use f new cnstructin techniques.
29．What abut Yamamt des paragraph 4 fcus n?
A．His view n the use f space.B．The rigin f his architectural utlk.
C．The influence f his family business n him.D．His upbringing in a multifunctinal hme.
30．Why is Jian Wai SOHO mentined?
A．T illustrate Yamamt’s design philsphy.
B．T shw the ppularity f Yamamt’s prjects.
C．T prve the practicability f Yamamt’s cncept.
D．T give an example f current architectural trends.
31．What prblem des Yamamt pint ut regarding current architectural practices?
A．Lack f technlgical integratin.B．T much fcus n persnal space.
C．Overemphasis n lks ver functin.D．Negle ct f envirnmental sustainability.

High emplyment, falling inflatin（通货膨胀）, and ecnmic grwth. On the surface, the US ecnmy currently seems t be ding great. But as it turns ut, things are nt s rsy fr the average American.
Accrding t a March 6 survey cnducted by the Savings website, 47 percent f US parents prvide financial supprt t their adult children t help deal with the cst f living struggles.
Gen Zers（aged 18-27）were fund t be the mst likely generatin t get financial help frm their parents, receiving n average 1,515dllars per mnth. Still, many lder parents were fund t supprt their Millennial（aged 28-43）r Generatin X（aged 44-59）adult children, accunting fr 21 percent f parents prviding supprt. The mst cmmn expenses mentined were grceries and health insurance.
But why are s many US adults, bth yung and ld, struggling t “leave the nest”? One majr reasn is fd prices. Accrding t a survey, fd prices are expected t increase by nearly 2.5percent in 2024．Meanwhile, stable husing remains an elusive dream fr many. The average rate fr a 30-year mrtgage（抵押贷款）was almst 8 percent in 2023, which means many Americans are priced ut f affrding their wn hme.
The final piece f the puzzle is falling salaries. Previus generatins were able t cunt n graduating frm cllege as the key t landing a jb that paid well. But nw, yung graduates have fund they earn less than their parents. Cllege graduate salaries have decreased mre than 10 percent in fur decades after adjusting fr inflatin. In ther wrds, steadily declining salaries make it even harder fr yung Americans t cpe with rising csts.
As Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, s d the lder generatins supprting them, as their sharing puts their retirement at risk. The Savings website discvered that wrking parents were fund t cntribute “2.4 times mre t supprt adult children than they cntribute t their retirement accunts each mnth”.
Essentially, while the US ecnmy remains aflat, we will witness multiple generatins f Americans sinking in their wn lifebats in the years ahead.
32．What did the March 6 survey find ut abut adult children in the US?
A．Nearly half f them are financially dependent.
B．Over half f Gen Zers are financially struggling.
C．21 percent f Generatin X receive parental help.
D．A majrity f them rely n their parents fr educatin.
33．What des the underlined wrd “elusive” in paragraph 4 mst prbably mean?
A．Readily accessible.B．Difficult t achieve.
C．Often misunderstd.D．Cmmnly sught after.
34．What can be inferred frm the article abut peple in the US?
A．Graduates’ financial struggles are temprary.
B．Gvernment plicies favr lder generatins.
C．Salaries fr graduates tend t keep up with inflatin.
D．Financial pressures affect bth the yung and the ld.
35．What is the authr’s attitude tward the future f Americans?
A．Negative.B．Optimistic.C．Ambiguus.D．Indifferent.

M: Many friends say I lk refreshed and cheerful recently. I guess it’s due t vlunteering. I’ve felt an incredible change after taking part in vlunteer wrk ver the past three mnths. It’s such magic. I’ve met new peple and learned valuable knwledge. What’s mre, while helping thers, I’ve als received a lt f appreciatin frm thers, which gives me a sense f fulfillment.
Many peple want t d vlunteer wrk but fail t take actin fr varius reasns. Mst peple claim they are t busy t vlunteer. I used t think s. Hwever, when I started vlunteering, such a barrier naturally disappeared. I culd arrange my schedule and balance vlunteer wrk and ther issues quite well. Apart frm that, peple are als cncerned abut lacking the skills and experience t match with vlunteer wrk. Actually, there are different kinds f vlunteer wrk, and mst f the wrk des nt require special skills at all. What really matters is the time yu give. Sme peple may als think it is difficult t find the grups that need help because they have n such cnnectins with them. But the truth is that the right vlunteer grups are rather easy t apprach. S, if yu have any interest in vlunteering, just take actin, and it will change yur life.Dear Davis,

Recently, I was asked t discuss the cnnectin between Human Resurces and Artificial Intelligence. One speaker nted that the mst amazing thing abut Generative AI is that it can mimic（模仿）human interactin and can even teach us scial skills.
This gt me thinking: If AI culd be as near-human as she said, culd it be my friend?
As yet anther 24-year-ld affected by the lneliness epidemic that arse frm a digital-heavy, interactin-light, pst-pandemic wrld, I suffered the all t cmmn prblem f having t few friends. In the span f a year, texting began t replace face-t-face cnversatins and plans t meet up were ften canceled r delayed.
Was I suppsed t embrace AI friendships as the new nrm? Thugh skeptical, I fund myself n ChatGPT the next day. It’s a straightfrward platfrm: Type yur questin and AI answers. Dn’t like the answer? Refine yur questin, and it will adjust its answers t what yu’re lking fr.
I decided t test the thery by chatting with AI as if it were a friend. Surprisingly, I received sympathetic and supprtive respnses. After 20 minutes f chatting, I asked, “Will yu be my friend?” Fllwing a pause, it plitely declined, ending with, “If yu’re lking fr human cnnectins, it’s always great t reach ut t friends, family, r peple arund yu.”
The rejectin frm AI was expected and natural. I believe that AI can never ffer what humans can: that humanness. Every persn in yur life des, at sme pint, screw up. They may ignre yu, hurt yur feelings r speak sharply, and they never, ever let yu ask the questin again t get a different answer. AI, n the ther hand, can never be yur friend, because it will never shw up late fr yur lunch. It will never hurt yur feelings and it will certainly never be the ne t reach ut first t aplgize. AI lacks fault and the surprising jy and pain that cmes with it.
T end the grup discussin, I raised a questin. I asked the grup wh, when calling a custmer service htline, did everything they culd t skip the rbtic prmpts（提示）t speak t a real persn. Everyne raised their hand. We all desire the same cnnectin. And I knw that we still have a chance.
24．What inspired the authr t explre AI friendships?
A．Her desire t vercme her lneliness.B．Her disappintment with her real friends.
C．A speaker’s cmments n AI’s abilities.D．The efficiency f digital cmmunicatin.
25．Hw did the authr feel abut AI’s rejectin?
A．Unsurprised.B．Relieved.
C．Disappinted.D．Heartbrken.
26．What aspect f human interactin des the authr value ver AI?
A．The uncnditinal supprt.B．The reliability f respnses.
C．The speed f cnflict reslutin.D．The unpredictability f behavir.
27．What cnclusin des the authr draw abut AJ?
A．It is mre efficient than human.B．It prmises t be a real friend.
C．It cannt replace human cnnectin.D．It helps t deal with feelings f lneliness.

Shuld there be clear bundaries between public and private spaces? Japanese architect Riken Yamamt, wh was named the 2024 Laureate f the glbally recgnized Pritzker Architecture Prize n March5, has used his designs t answer this questin.
He was selected “fr creating awareness in the cmmunity in what is the respnsibility f scial demand …and abve all fr reminding us that in architecture … spaces must be created by the needs f the peple,” accrding t the 2024 Jury Citatin.
Yamamt has recnsidered the bundaries between public and private spaces as pprtunities fr scietal enrichment, believing that all spaces can benefit and serve everyne in the cmmunity, nt just the peple wh ccupy them.
This unique visin might have grwn frm his childhd. Brn in 1945, Yamamt was raised in a hme with a frnt area serving as his mther’s pharmacy（药房）and the back part as a living space. This gave him a deep understanding that public and private life are clsely linked. Reflecting n his childhd, Yamamt nted, “The threshld（门槛）n ne side was fr family, and n the ther side fr cmmunity. I sat in between.”
His masterpieces can be seen acrss the wrld, including Nagya Zkei University, Tianjin Library and Jianwai SOHO in Beijing, which all fllw his integratin（融合）philsphy. Jianwai SOHO is a gd example f this cncept. SOHO, shrt fr “small ffice, hme ffice”, emphasizes a cmbined area f cmmerce and residence.
“Fr me, t recgnize space is t recgnize an entire cmmunity,” Yamamt said t the prize cmmittee. “The current architectural apprach emphasizes privacy, ignring the necessity f scietal relatinships. Hwever, we can still hnr the freedm f each individual while living tgether in architectural space as a republic, fstering harmny acrss cultures and stages f life.”
28．What earned Riken Yamamt the 2024 Pritzker Architecture Prize?
A．His cmbinatin f traditinal and mdern styles.
B．His cmmitment t peple-fcused design.
C．His innvative apprach t rural living spaces.
D．His pineering use f new cnstructin techniques.
29．What abut Yamamt des paragraph 4 fcus n?
A．His view n the use f space.B．The rigin f his architectural utlk.
C．The influence f his family business n him.D．His upbringing in a multifunctinal hme.
30．Why is Jian Wai SOHO mentined?
A．T illustrate Yamamt’s design philsphy.
B．T shw the ppularity f Yamamt’s prjects.
C．T prve the practicability f Yamamt’s cncept.
D．T give an example f current architectural trends.
31．What prblem des Yamamt pint ut regarding current architectural practices?
A．Lack f technlgical integratin.B．T much fcus n persnal space.
C．Overemphasis n lks ver functin.D．Negle ct f envirnmental sustainability.

High emplyment, falling inflatin（通货膨胀）, and ecnmic grwth. On the surface, the US ecnmy currently seems t be ding great. But as it turns ut, things are nt s rsy fr the average American.
Accrding t a March 6 survey cnducted by the Savings website, 47 percent f US parents prvide financial supprt t their adult children t help deal with the cst f living struggles.
Gen Zers（aged 18-27）were fund t be the mst likely generatin t get financial help frm their parents, receiving n average 1,515dllars per mnth. Still, many lder parents were fund t supprt their Millennial（aged 28-43）r Generatin X（aged 44-59）adult children, accunting fr 21 percent f parents prviding supprt. The mst cmmn expenses mentined were grceries and health insurance.
But why are s many US adults, bth yung and ld, struggling t “leave the nest”? One majr reasn is fd prices. Accrding t a survey, fd prices are expected t increase by nearly 2.5percent in 2024．Meanwhile, stable husing remains an elusive dream fr many. The average rate fr a 30-year mrtgage（抵押贷款）was almst 8 percent in 2023, which means many Americans are priced ut f affrding their wn hme.
The final piece f the puzzle is falling salaries. Previus generatins were able t cunt n graduating frm cllege as the key t landing a jb that paid well. But nw, yung graduates have fund they earn less than their parents. Cllege graduate salaries have decreased mre than 10 percent in fur decades after adjusting fr inflatin. In ther wrds, steadily declining salaries make it even harder fr yung Americans t cpe with rising csts.
As Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, s d the lder generatins supprting them, as their sharing puts their retirement at risk. The Savings website discvered that wrking parents were fund t cntribute “2.4 times mre t supprt adult children than they cntribute t their retirement accunts each mnth”.
Essentially, while the US ecnmy remains aflat, we will witness multiple generatins f Americans sinking in their wn lifebats in the years ahead.
32．What did the March 6 survey find ut abut adult children in the US?
A．Nearly half f them are financially dependent.
B．Over half f Gen Zers are financially struggling.
C．21 percent f Generatin X receive parental help.
D．A majrity f them rely n their parents fr educatin.
33．What des the underlined wrd “elusive” in paragraph 4 mst prbably mean?
A．Readily accessible.B．Difficult t achieve.
C．Often misunderstd.D．Cmmnly sught after.
34．What can be inferred frm the article abut peple in the US?
A．Graduates’ financial struggles are temprary.
B．Gvernment plicies favr lder generatins.
C．Salaries fr graduates tend t keep up with inflatin.
D．Financial pressures affect bth the yung and the ld.
35．What is the authr’s attitude tward the future f Americans?
A．Negative.B．Optimistic.C．Ambiguus.D．Indifferent.

Recently, I vlunteered with Interact, my schl’s service grup at Read 2 Me, an activity that gives vlunteers the pprtunity t read t little kids and interact with them.
I walked with ther vlunteers int a large rm in which there was a large variety f bks. Sme were picture bks, such as Cliffrd r The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Others were chapter bks with pictures in them, such as the Berenstain Bears and The Wimpy Kid series. Fr the extremely talented kids wh like t be challenged, we prvided chapter bks that required imaginatin t understand.

Dear Davis,
Delighted t hear frm yu and impressed by yur interest in ur mbile payment, I am writing t share with yu what I knw abut it.
Yes, these years mbile payment has made its way deep int ur daily life. It is supprted by tw majr cmpanies --WeChat and Alipay. Instead f carrying wallets arund, we can pay by scanning the QR cde, which saves us the truble f dealing with change, especially cins. Besides, it als keeps a recrd f ur financial reprt autmatically. The cnvenience f mbile payment, hwever, cmes with a price. S much d we depend n mbile phnes that smetimes we find urselves trapped in ccasins when they fail t wrk, discnnected r ut f battery.
Mbile payment, with advantages utweighing disadvantages, has becme an essential part f ur sciety and is making a difference in ur ecnmic life.
Yurs,

The stry was s attractive t Max. He listened with great interest, ttally lst in what was described in the stry. He thanked me when I finished reading t him, lking s happy fr having gt the chance t listen t the stry.

M: Many friends say I lk refreshed and cheerful recently. I guess it’s due t vlunteering. I’ve felt an incredible change after taking part in vlunteer wrk ver the past three mnths. It’s such magic. I’ve met new peple and learned valuable knwledge. What’s mre, while helping thers, I’ve als received a lt f appreciatin frm thers, which gives me a sense f fulfillment.
Many peple want t d vlunteer wrk but fail t take actin fr varius reasns. Mst peple claim they are t busy t vlunteer. I used t think s. Hwever, when I started vlunteering, such a barrier naturally disappeared. I culd arrange my schedule and balance vlunteer wrk and ther issues quite well. Apart frm that, peple are als cncerned abut lacking the skills and experience t match with vlunteer wrk. Actually, there are different kinds f vlunteer wrk, and mst f the wrk des nt require special skills at all. What really matters is the time yu give. Sme peple may als think it is difficult t find the grups that need help because they have n such cnnectins with them. But the truth is that the right vlunteer grups are rather easy t apprach. S, if yu have any interest in vlunteering, just take actin, and it will change yur life.Dear Davis,
