You talk for a long, long time. Any silly topic can become interesting. Any joke you tell to each other makes you laugh loudly. These may be the most fun parts of hanging out (闲逛) with friends. If young people don't learn how to keep friendships, they can easily become lonely and depressed (沮丧的), according to the University of Arizona in the US.
Unlike being with one's parents, hanging out with friends is good for developing social skills (社交技巧). "If we have different ideas, we usually take a vote (投票) to decide where to go," said Yang Kaiyue, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Anhui.
In China, most kids like to go shopping, go to the cinema and have lunch or dinner together. And kids in the US often play video games together or play sports, like basketball, in the park.
What should you remember when you are hanging out with friends?
Choose a time when your friends are all free. It is even more fun to play with a group of friends than just one.
When you are hanging out at a friend's home, do not be afraid of making a mess (弄乱). Share the money equally (相等地). Do not let one person pay all the money unless it is a special treat (请客).
Choose the place before you go so that you will not waste (浪费) time deciding where to go.
A.Hanging out helps you make friends.
B.The following tips can be helpful.
C.Just make sure you clean it up before you leave.
D.Some girls like going shopping on weekends.

18、 阅读下面短文,根据其内容填空。
Wind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin(旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.
A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that's not true. For thousands of years, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those things today, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.
Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it's clean. Wind mills don't pollute the environment at all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind. Also, wind power is cheap, and it's getting even cheaper.
A lot of people don't understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. That used to be true, but it isn't true anymore. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren't dangerous for birds.
However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for some people because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn't blow all the time, so we can't use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.
Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.
(1)、Wind power can be turned into when windmills spin.(2)、People have used wind to and move water for a long time.(3)、New windmills don't because they spin at a slow speed.(4)、One of the real problems with windmills is that they .(5)、This passage mainly introduces a kind of clean, energy to us. -
19、 阅读全文,并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中(有一个是多余选项),使原文的意思完整、连贯。
The modern world runs on energy. However, in the past human society used very little energy like wind, water and fire could provide. There are many different ways to create energy, but some ways are harmful to the environment.
Fossil fuels (化石燃料) are the most common kind of energy. They include coal, oil, and natural gas. First, people have to dig them from the ground. However, scientists are creating cleaner and better ways to do that these days. So the environment is not harmed as much as before. But when people burn these fossil fuels, they can give off a lot of harmful gases, which is considered to be one of the greatest causes of global warming. This might harm the environment.
Tidal (潮汐) energy is another way to make electricity. It uses the ocean tides to make electricity. But some kinds of tidal energy can kill many fishes and other sea animals. Also dams(堤坝) can create lakes and lots of clean energy, but they change the way that rivers run.
Nuclear energy is a very powerful form of energy. However, many people are afraid of it because there have been some very serious accidents in the past which caused great harm both to humans and nature. Many countries are starting to use nuclear energy more.
Whatever kind of energy we use, it should be good for people and environment.
A.It is cheap and very clean.
B.So they can do great harm to the balance of nature.
C.But the technology is much better these days.
D.This can sometimes harm the environment.
E.Scientists will make it better.
F.We live in an age when it is possible to use different kinds of energy.

ChatGPT is back in the headlines! OpenAI, the company behind the popular chatbot, has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.
On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger (充电器), GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.
But GPT-4's developments don't stop there. The new language model can code (用代码编写) classic games in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout for a website based on a hand-made drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.
GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming Duolingo Max function. Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.
There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 still struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes "hallucinates (产生幻觉)", meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.
(1)、The writer introduces one of GPT-4's features by ____ in Paragraph 2.A、giving an example B、making a survey C、asking a question(2)、Which of the following abilities of GPT-4 are mentioned?①understanding pictures ②coding classic games
③producing the layout for a website ④changing the tone and style
⑤getting completely correct answers ⑥powering other apps and services
A、①②③④⑤ B、①②③④⑥ C、①②③⑤⑥(3)、What is the correct structure of the passage?A、
B、
C、
(4)、What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A、No pains, no gains. B、Knowledge is power. C、Each coin has two sides.(5)、According to the passage, why might GPT-4 worry teachers?
A、It can write tests for students.
B、It performs very well on exams, better than most students.
C、It struggles to give completely correct answers.
D、It replaces teachers in language learning apps.
