21、Our Teen Summer Spanish Program is two weeks of fun, educational excitement that helps students learn Spanish fast. Our Spanish summer program allows our students to learn from highly trained, certified teachers and be absorbed in the language and the culture of Costa Rica.
Features include:
* Intensive(强化的) daily Spanish classes
* Extracurricular classes in dance, cooking, music, and handiwork
* Outdoor activities including hiking, camping, rafting, and ziplining(高空滑索)
* Homestay with a local Costa Rican family
* Volunteer work in needy neighborhoods
Our Teaching Methods:
We are proud to use TPRS---Total Physical Response Storytelling---in our curriculum. This innovative method uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved, TPRS allows students to learn easily and remember information effortlessly
Memorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are slow, inefficient ways to learn a new language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and consistently, students can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they have learned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future use, making it much easier to progress.

22、How can you use curiosity to enjoy your studies more and improve your results? Below are some hints of how you can awaken your curiosity.
Listen to yourself when you ask questions
【1】 and your mind starts to question, don’t ignore it. If you can’t explore the answer right then, make a note to find out later. Questioning, exploring and investigating are good! It shows that you have an active and interested mind. Reward yourself by finding out the answer. The more you know about what you are studying, the better you will understand it.
Ask quality questions
Ask good questions such as “why” “what if” and “how”. The better the questions you ask, the more interesting answers you will find. 【2】.
Play around with new things and ideas
Learn to play with and think about your ideas, your feelings and new materials and objects. “What can you do with these ideas, feelings and things? Maybe they could be used in an essay, article, poem or science experiment, or could be a gift or favour for someone else.
【3】. Just because adults teach you, it does not mean that they know everything or the best way to do things. Young people are the future. Don’t be scared to put your ideas forward!
Work with new people in class
Don’t always join the same friends for group projects in class. 【4】. Where possible, choose to work with students who enjoy asking questions and finding out new things, or students who have a lively, curious mind.

23、If you have tried chatting with ChatGPT lately, you have probably been met with an “at capacity” error message at some point. The chatbot’s sudden huge popularity can make accessing the service pretty tricky. And while it’s fun to chat with the AI or even get it to write essays or take exams, some people want guaranteed access so they can use the chatbot for professional purposes.
Earlier this month, OpenAI announced that it may soon start offering a paid-for version of ChatGPT with an option called ChatGPT Professional. A waitlist that OpenAI posted to the server detailed what pro users might expect.
The professional offering, which OpenAI described as “experimental”, will be “always available,” offer “fast responses from ChatGPT,” and would provide “as many messages as you need.” The waitlist also noted that, if selected, OpenAI would reach out to you individually to set up a payment process and a pilot.
Now it seems like OpenAI has picked its early access users and they are sharing some insights. Zahid Khawaja, an early access user, shared a video on Twitter running a test prompt on the pro version that ran much quicker than the free version the rest of the public has access to. In the video, Khawaja showed his subscription cost, which comes in at $ 42 a month.
How OpenAI decided on $ 42 a month is yet to be revealed-perhaps it’s yet another Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference. However, in December Sam Altman, OpenAl’s chief executive said the average cost of each response was in “single-digits cents”, but he admitted it will need to charge the service eventually because of its “eye-watering“ compute costs. A recent agreement with Microsoft, which will see the software giant invest billions in OpenAI over the next few years, will also likely help.
Despite its popularity, ChatGPT isn’t the only AI chatbot on the market. The $ 42 a month price tag is causing some users to seek other alternatives that might be more cost effective and just as efficient.
【1】What does the author think of having access to the service?
A.Not easy.
B.Not good.
C.Not tough.
D.Not slow.
【2】Which of the following isn’t provided in the professional version of ChatGPT?
A.All-time availability.
B.Enough information.
C.Free subscription.
D.Faster response.
【3】Why was the service charged in the end?
A.It is to be revealed next month.
B.It is customers’ requirements.
C.It needs Microsoft’s investment.
D.It needs very high running costs.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.ChatGPT charges the lowest on the market.
B.ChatGPT will lose most of its access users.
C.ChatGPT may lose some targeted customers.
D.ChatGPT is more effective and efficient.
24、Just like happiness and sadness, anxiety is part of everyone’s lived experience—but it’s not always tolerated as such. “People often spend too much time and effort trying to rid anxiety,” says Dr. Joel Minden, a clinical psychologist. “I encourage them to remember that anxiety is a normal emotional response.”
If you try to banish anxiety, all you’re doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self-pity or even with humor. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation(验证), including by the American Psychological Association. ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that parts of life are hard. Sufferers are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining their causes while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values.
This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman, the 52-year-old host of the podcast Our Anxiety Stories. When negative thoughts arise, he acknowledges them but doesn’t let them drive his decisions. Over the years, Bateman has noticed that if he submits to his thoughts, they don’t go away but dramatically increase. But if he recognizes them for what they are, just a passing thought and not a fact that needs to be acted on, they gradually go away.
Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process and one that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off, as well. Since tiredness, increased tension and stress leave us much easier to fall into anxiety, a well-balanced diet, sufficient rest and, especially, regular exercise can help us manage it better.
【1】What may Dr. Joel Minden agree about anxiety?
A.It goes hand in hand with joy.
B.It should be seriously taken.
C.It is easily-earned experience.
D.It is often improperly treated.
【2】What can explain the underlined word “banish” in Paragraph 2?
A.Ignore.
B.Hide.
C.Recognize.
D.Control.
【3】Why does the author mention John Bateman in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain a strategy.
B.To describe a phenomenon.
C.To present a successful case.
D.To introduce a public figure.
