24、US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original(独创的) human mind.”
To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year.
The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves.
But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI,人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems.
In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that all over the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool(欺骗)65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.
By creating the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines – and be able to tell what makes us human.
“The human mind is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, now AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, “The computer works like a mirror that reflects (反映) any idea of a human.”
【1】The purpose of the first three paragraphs is to ___________.
A.introduce where World Poetry Day comes from.
B.show how popular poetry is around the world.
C.show the importance and beauty of poetry.
D.give some tips on enjoying poetry.
【2】What did the data(数据)from “bot or not” show?
A.Computers are better than humans at writing poetry.
B.Computers can also produce poems of high quality.
C.Readers don’t really care whether the poems were written by humans.
D.Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.
【3】According to the article, computers can’t match humans in creating poems because they_____.
A.fail to use the correct grammar and style
B.can’t create poems that are meaningful
C.can’t show feelings as well as humans
D.only know how to follow humans’ poems

26、I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about astudent who studied in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask why they didn't want him. The answer was simple. “We don't offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany.”
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will com out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the best rule.
【1】Did the student often buy a ticket when he took the subway?
_________________________________________
【2】Where did the student study?
__________________________________________
【3】According to the passage, what is the best rule?
