21、The AI chatbot pheomenon ChatGPT is changing the world and has kicked off a new global AI race, but couldn’t it replace humans?
ChatGPT is one of the hottest topics in tech right now, the AI powered chatbot attracted over 100 million users just two months after launch in late November. So, what is it? The GFT pat stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer. It’s a form of AI capable of understanding human language and generating surprisingly detailed and coherent answers to questions in a conversational format. ChatGPT is so good that people are using it to write essays, draft script, pass exams and the correct computer code, all of which it can do within seconds. Some have even asked the Chatbot for psychological counselling or to create a personalized weight-loss plans.
But what does the advent of ChatGPT mean for ordinary people? The elephant in the room is whether it will eventually replace humans in some jobs. Universal access to a capable and versatile AI powered digital assistant would significantly boost productivity in many sectors. Teachers are now using ChatGPT to write presentations, and product managers are using it to create marketing campaigns. As with any disruptive technology, ChatGPT will change the labor landscape. The jobs most immediately at threat include customer service, computer programming, graphic, design, and content creation. We have already seen AI technology replacing translators and interpreters. However, notably the impact of ChatGPT on education cannot be overstated. One study even found that 89 percent of US college students admitted using ChatGPT for their assignments. Some public schools have banned ChatGPT outright and some science journals now prohibit listing ChatGPT as a co-author on papers.
So, the healthy development of this kind of technology will depend on enforcing honest, safe and responsible use. This will likely be a global undertaking for multiple governments, companies and academia working in collaboration.

22、Not knowing how to say “no”, I was afraid to tell people what I wanted. Instead, I got myself tangled (纠结的) in a web of obligations, anxiety, and white lies.
The worst thing was that I didn’t even realize what I was doing. I thought I knew how to say “no” -but couldn’t remember the last time I had done this. Like a lot of people, I just wanted to be accepted, appreciated, loved, and the only way to get those things was to put everyone else’s needs before my own.
It seemed that I never had time for things I really wanted to do. I’d like to learn Spanish, write more fiction, and travel. These aren’t huge, unrealistic goals. And yet, my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires.
But recently, I decided I’d had enough. As an experiment, I began standing up for myself, even at the risk of alienating (使疏远) myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me. Several days ago, a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 p.m. I was planning to hit the gym and then binge-watch Mad Men for the millionth time. I said, “Sorry, I’ve got things I want to do tonight.” She said, “That’s fine. Maybe another time.” It was all, so painfully simple that I wanted to cry.
Saying “no” is so much easier. If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in, I’m polite but honest. “I’m sorry. I don’t think that’s really for me.” The words slip out faster than some other lame excuses.
Learning how to say “no” has added several extra hours to my days, days to my weeks, and what feels like months to my years. I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search, or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know. Saying “no” has set me free.

【2】What was the bad result of being afraid of saying “no” for the author?
A．Alienating many friends.
B．Having no time for her own hobbies.
C．Keeping busy all day long.
D．Feeling depressed now and then.
【3】What was her friend’s reaction when the author said “no” to her?
A．Natural.
B．Painful.
C．Angry.
D．Disappointed.
【4】How did the author feel after she had learnt to say “no”?
A．Lonely.
B．Lost.
C．Confident.
D．Relaxed.
23、A trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping(给小费) culture you’ve never come across in China.
In the US,giving a little extra money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice.
Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour,employees receiving tips—often waiters and waitresses—are the exceptions.They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour,and tips make up the difference.As The Wall Street Journal put it:“The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.”
So how should you tip if you are in the US?
Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill.Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected.You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.
Yet there is an exception.For take-out food,you don’t have to provide tips,though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra—but maybe a little less.
Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants,pizza parlors,cafés or ice cream shops either,though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收银机).Don’t feel obligated to throw some money in,but also remember that it doesn’t hurt.Those workers do not rely on tips.
Other service workers also receive tips.For taxi drivers,15 percent is the norm (标准),more if they help with your bags.Hairdressers often receive about 15 percent of the bill.The same goes for spa therapists(理疗师) and tour guides.
Today,you can even pay tips on a credit card.When receiving a copy of the bill to sign,you are free to fill in how much you’d like to tip.
Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people,it’s important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning,things will be just fine.
【1】What is the article mainly about?
A．How tipping culture started in the US.
B．How to give tips properly in the US.
C．New ways to give tips in the US.
D．The different attitudes that Chinese people and Americans have toward tipping.
【2】Which of the following is said to be against the norm of tipping in the US?
A．Paying waiters and waitresses less than $7.25 per hour.
B．Ignoring the tip jar at fast food restaurants,cafés,or ice cream shops.
C．Tipping taxi drivers less than 15% because of poor service.
D．Refusing to give tips to your tour guide.
【3】The underlined word “obligated” in Paragraph 7 probably means .
A．being forced to do something
B．being grateful for something
C．being surprised at something
D．being embarrassed about something
【4】According to the author,Chinese consumers .
A．don’t necessarily have to follow the tipping rules in the US
B．should use their credit cards to give tips
C．must argue about the amount of tip they have to pay
D．should take it easy and give the correct tips for different occasions
24、 2021 is the Year of the Ox according to Chinese zodiac. In China you will find various ox figures made of gold, wood, plastic, paper, shell and stone on sale in stores and on streets to celebrate the return. 【1】
Centuries ago, most people earned their living through farming. For example, the ox was used to help plow, cultivate and carry heavy goods. Besides, the ox has long had a significant place in Chinese culture. 【2】 In the Classic of Poetry, the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry, the animal was mentioned in nine out of the 305 pieces.
【3】 To this day, the phrase “the spirit of ox” still refers to conquering anything that may present itself as an obstacle. 【4】 When someone achieves a great accomplishment through hard work, people often use “niu”, meaning “awesome”, to describe him or her.
Oxen seldom bully the weak or fear the strong. 【5】 This is reflected in a couplet from a poem by Lu Xun (1881—1936): “Fierce-browed, I coolly defy a thousand pointing fingers; Head bowed, like a willing ox I serve the children”, which fully expresses the poet’s loyalty to the people.
A．They work hard and make sacrifices.
B．They never seek to be the center of attention and do not look for praise.
C．The spirit is highly praised and many people follow it as their work ethic.
D．Ancient Chinese poets and writers frequently described the ox in literature.
E．But why was the ox chosen to be one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs?
F．The ox is considered a symbol of diligence and earnestness (认真) in Chinese culture.
G．Those who were born in the Year of the Ox are often expected to be hardworking.
