6、 Thursday 令人欣喜的消息
Many people have lost touch with others in their lives, whether they' re friends fromhigh school or college they used to see. If they' re thinking about whether they should get back in contact with a friend, a new study suggests that the answer is yes, they should.
Our friends appreciate an unexpected phone call, or a message more than we think, even if we are just saying a quick hello. In fact, they are very excited and enjoy it very much.
That's according to researchers from the US, who also said that the more surprising the contact, the more it is appreciated.
They did a number of similar experiments with almost 6, 000 people. In one of them, half of the participants were asked to think of a time when they had contacted a friend they hadn't spoken to for some time. The other half had to think of a time when someone had gotten back in contact with them.
People in the first group were then asked to tell how much they thought the friend appreciated their messages— by text, phone or email. And the other group told how much they appreciated receiving the messages. The results showed that the people sending the messages underestimated how happy people were to receive them.
They found similar results in other experiments, such as when they asked participants to send notes or gifts to friends. And if the contact was surprising, it was even more welcome.
People are social beings and enjoy ▲ . So, our friends really would like to hear from us, the researchers said— more than we might think.

11、 Wednesday 大量阅读的重要性
There was a little kid who studied in the5th grade. Everyone in his class thoughtthat he was one of the silliest kids in his class. His grades were so bad that he himself thought the same.
His report card showed his poor progress in his class but that didn't bother him. He used to say to his mom, "It doesn't matter very much. " His mother knew that her boy was not reaching his full potential at school. So, she set three rules for him to follow. First, he was allowed to watch only two TV shows per week. Second, he had to finish his homework before he could watch any TV or play outside. Third, he had to read two books from the library each week and write a book report on each of them.
The kid felt upset about these new rules and tried very hard to talk his mother out of them but his mother stood firm. The kid couldn't go against his mother, so he had to follow those rules. Before long he saw the fruits of his hard work, when he was the only one who knew the answer to a question the teacher asked the class.
All his classmates and teacher were surprised that a kid who used to get the lowest score was now able to correctly answer such a hard question. The kid realized that his knowledge came from the books he was reading. He began to believe that if he could learn just a few facts from books at the library, he could learn anything.
The kid continued on his path of growth and became an academic leader in his school. The kid had learned to read books and realized that he could change his love for reading into learning. The mother knew what her boy was able to do and decided to give him a way he could do it. The boy who was thought to be the most stupid kid of class in the 5th grade became a world famous doctor.
That boy is Benjamin Carson who is now a famous doctor, writer and politician.
(1)、What did Benjamin have to do after the week's reading?A、He had to watch TV. B、He had to play outside. C、He had to write a book report. D、He had to write two book reports.(2)、How did Benjamin's classmates and teacher feel seeing his change?A、Angry. B、Surprised. C、Excited. D、Nervous.(3)、Which of the following is TRUE?A、Benjamin's mom thought he was the silliest. B、Benjamin was brave enough to fight against his mom.

17、 Tuesday 文生视频大模型
OpenAI has introduced a new technology that uses artificial intelligence(Al) to create high-quality videos from text descriptions.
The company showed a few short, vivid and realistic videos, including mammoths moving forward in a snowy field and people doing everyday things like reading a book or walking down a city street.
OpenAI calls the new system Sora. "Sora is able to generate complex scenes with different kinds of characters, specific types of motion, and correct and true details of the subject and background based on simple text prompts, " theChatGPT makers said.
The new tool isn't the first of its kind. Other companies, including Google, Meta and AIstart-up Runway, have built their own text-to-video AI models. But AI analysts said the length and quality of Sora videos went beyond expectation and were outstanding in all of the models.
Sora will first be available to a small group of artists and filmmakers as well as researchers who will try to find out what can be improved about it.
Mutale Nkonde, an analyst, thinks the idea that anyone can easily turn text into video is exciting. She, however, worries that these tools might be put into some hateful information and it may influence the livelihoods of people in many industries.
Arvind Narayanan, a professor of computer science, said Sora is likely to become a quick and inexpensive way of creating online misinformation. The high-quality videos it produced would make it even harder for people to distinguish what is real on the Internet.
Putting watermarks on AI-produced videos and images, as many companies have said they would do, might help, according to Siwei Lyu, the director of the Media Forensic Lab at the University at Buffalo. But in many cases, watermarks could be removed or altered, he said.
(1)、The examples in Paragraph 2 are to show that ____ .A、mammoths moving forward in a snowy field is quite a successful video B、Sora can produce highly realistic videos according to text descriptions C、people enjoy doing everyday reading and walking down a city street D、the new technology can only create short, vivid videos on the Internet(2)、We can infer from the passage that ____ .A、Sora is the first technology to create videos from detailed text descriptions B、putting watermarks can help people distinguish the reality on the Internet C、anyone who knows about Sora can use Sora to create a video through text now D、an actor may risk losing his job one day because of the new technology Sora(3)、What is the attitude of Arvind Narayanan toward Sora?A、Hopeful. B、Worried. C、Neutral(中立的). D、Positive. -
