The latest technological advancement centering on the conversation at work, at school, and sometimes even at home, largely due the emergence of chat-bots such as ChatGPT and Bard, (be) Artificial Intelligence. These new conversational platforms use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help users find instant answers, get creations, learn new things. They can chat with you and provide responses that can help you do things.

While most of the Internet agrees it's not as good as a human at performing many tasks, the debate continues as to AI has the power to replace certain jobs, or even spell the end of humankind. Of course, it brings undoubted benefits, (depend) on how you use it.

(give) it's often described in science fiction films and novels as a world-ending technology that results in killer robots, the present (real) is less dramatic. AI is defined as a type of computer technology that is concerned with making machines work in an intelligent manner, similar to how the human mind works.

(actual), it means we can ‘train' computers to learn, respond and make decisions, but it still requires the ability (learn) from humans to get   anywhere near good enough. While Al is a hot topic right now, the idea has existed for decades. The latest chat-bots are a form of Artificial Intelligence can analyze huge amounts of data and generate responses, though they need a little reminder.

Most of our thinking is not critical thinking. We don't need to make many judgments to travel to work or cook dinner. Critical thinking can save us from blindly making poor choices. So how can you improve your critical thinking skills? You need to practise. There are many ways of doing that. Here are a few:

Look at articles or books written by people on all sides of the issue. For each source, evaluate the argument: What claim is it making? What reasons does it give? Are the reasons logical?

·When you see or hear a claim, ask questions about it. Who is making the claim and why? What is the claimant's background and how does this motivate their opinion?

·Evaluate your own thinking. Where do you tend to not think critically? Why don't you? How can you improve?

·Question things you assume. What claims do you accept without knowing the reasons for them? Try to find out what others believe about that claim and why.

As you grow in critical thinking, you'll become a wiser and more thoughtful person.

A. Stick to your claim.

B. Read about a topic people disagree on.

C. When you think of one, do some research.

D. It's analyzing facts separately so you can make decisions.

E. And it may help you to succeed at work or school as well.

F. We'll only use it if we make a conscious effort to ask questions about what we see.

G. But when a problem comes our way, we need to think critically to decide how to solve it.

When I reflected on its impact on my education, I saw that technology has been significant in many ways. Returning to the story of my grandfather, he had asked me more about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an easy life compared to previous generations. I could see his point.

Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of previous generations, but we have so many more. We still have walk-in libraries; however, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these libraries with as many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search online can immediately provide access to a huge range of resources. Interaction between students and university staff is another area that has changed considerably. We can have face-to-face time with our tutors, and also communicate using our electronic devices. The most popular means is via social media, and it has become unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. While this puts an extra stress on the university's academic support team, we students are greatly benefited.

When we compare the student life of the past and the present, it is tempting to focus on the obvious differences in technology. In fact, students are doing what they've always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably. The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens.

Regular physical activity is one of the most (importance) things you can do for your health. Everyone can experience some good (point) of physical activity-age, ability, shape and size do not matter.

Being physically active can help manage weight. Both eating physical habits play a key role weight management. You gain weight when you consume (消耗) more calories through eating and drinking than the amount of calories you burn, (include) those burned during physical activity.

(keep) your weight, work your way up to 150 minutes a week of physical activities, could contain (包含) dancing or yard work. You could achieve the goal of 150 minutes a week with 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

People differ (great) in how much physical activity they need for weight management. You may need to be more active than others to reach or keep a healthy weight.

To lose weight and keep off, you will need a high amount of physical activity unless you also change your eating patterns and reduce the amount of calories you're eating and drinking. So getting to a healthy weight (require) regular physical activity and healthy eating at the same time.

After many years, I still3 remember the last time I had to4. At that moment, starting a new school wasn't really that big of a5. I spent the next four and a half years in Mountain Home. I made four amazing friends anyone could ever ask for. However, when I had to leave them, I was6.

I soon7that starting a new high school was different from being the "new girl" in elementary or even middle school. It wasn't as easy to gain the "approval (认可)" of my8 now as it had been back then. Back in elementary or middle school, although I was a freshman, I had my friends and people I knew. I could very easily9 well over ninety percent of my class. However, at this new school, I10 no one.

I've been told over and over by my mum that I'll11 have to enter the "real" world and that the12 I have over all of these things will soon disappear. What adults13 to realize is that every day in a teenager's life is a battle (战役). We're no longer children, but not quite adults. We struggle to14 who we are.

Although I still have about a year and a half left, I honestly believe that being a teenager has been the hardest15 in my life, something I'm sure I'll carry with me for the rest of my existence.

It's natural for young children to want to spend time with their parents. But doing housework often causes Mum and Dad to take many hours away from their kids.? Use this as a chance to get your children to help you out with housework, and find endless ways to stay with them. The following are some simple, basic tips on what to do.

Break down big housework into smaller tasks

. If you expect them to help with a mountain of washed clothes, apply the "divide-and-conquer (征服)"method. Smaller children can help with handkerchiefs, while older kids can be arranged shorts and shirts.

If a task is too difficult, don't allow your children to take the easy way out and quit. Instead. make things easier for them by offering help. This will give them the impression that you're a team and that they can depend on you.

Bargain or negotiate (协商)

This is especially helpful on extremely busy days when your kids don't have time to help out.

Use repetition

Children learn through continuous reinforcement (强化), so be patient, even if it may take a while for them to do a task properly.. In the case of folding (折叠) towels, you can instruct them that each fold should be one-fourth of the entire towel.

A. So what is the solution

B. Offer a proper cleaning tool

C. Offer a helping hand when needed

D. They can then add up all the points every weekend

E. You can work around a schedule but still keep flexible

F. Use a step-by-step way when explaining what should be done

G. Housework that is easy for adults may seem hard for children

Europe took the lead, with seven out of the top 10 cities and 63 countries in the top 100. The only non-European cities in the top 10 were Dubai at No.2, Tokyo at No.4 and New York at No.8. Madrid came third, while Amsterdam, Berlin and Rome were at Nos.5, 6 and 7 respectively. Barcelona and then London rounded out the top 10. Asia did well in the top 20 as Singapore (11). Seoul (14). Osaka (16) and Hong Kong (17) all made the list.

According to the report, the secret of Europe's success is "fast-paced urbanization (城市化) and widespread technology adoption". Travellers now focus on high-speed Internet, flexible booking choices and spaces for teleworking. The report said, "Improving sustainability, transportation networks and social influence are some of the key goals cities are achieving today to increase competitiveness, improve their tourism offer and deliver a perfect customer journey."

Istanbul topped the list for the number of international arrivals in 2023, followed by London and then Dubai. The cities with the biggest year-on-year growth were Hong Kong (2, 495%) and Bangkok (142%).

However, growing visitor numbers can be a mixed blessing, with bad influence on the local communities and the environment. Nadejda Popova, a manager at Euromonitor International, discussed in a report the ways cities are facing up to the challenge of overtourism.

Rock Climbing is also about the people you meet, as much as the climbing itself. The gym is the perfect place for climbers to meet and share experiences. There are lessons seven days a week on the smaller wall and when someone is ready, they are let loose(放松)on the main wall, but always under observation(观察). The gym has a great safety record and plans to keep it that way.

The gym is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but lessons are between 12 to 6 p. m. You can get a student package for 700 pounds a month and there are also yearly deals, but daily or weekly deals are not provided.

Probably one of the best things the gym offers is weekend trips for many experienced climbers. You can get out and try a real rock face at the cost of 150 pounds. We arrange hotel accommodation(住宿) for overnight and it's free of charge. It's a lot of fun. It's a great way to meet people, strengthen your body and become part of the rock climbing community.

My mum, on the other hand, wore a simple dress and old shoes. Her clothes looked worn out compared to the others. As we walked past store windows. I couldn't help but notice the difference, I saw young girls in bright dresses and boys in tidy shirts. They looked so modern and confident.

Feeling a bit out of place, I tried to pull my mum towards less busy areas. I didn't want anyone to notice us or, more specifically, notice her. It wasn't because I wasn't proud of my mum. I just felt she deserved (值得) better.

As we walked around, we entered a store with beautiful clothes. The fabrics (面料) felt soft, and the designs were fashionable. My mun's eyes lit up when she saw a lovely sweater. "This would look great on you," she said with a smile.

I checked the price and was shocked, It was much too expensive for us. I knew my mum worked hard to make ends meet. Every penny was made use of in our life. Yet, here she was, willing to spend on a sweater for me.

Looking at her, I realised something. My mum might not have the beautiful clothes or the latest accessories (配饰), but she had a heart of gold. She always put me first, even if it meant giving up her own wants.

Suddenly, I felt a wave of warmth. I hugged her and said to her softly, "Mum, I don't need the sweater. I just need you." She smiled, "I know, dear. But it's nice to have dreams sometimes, right?" We left the store, hand in hand, feeling wealthier than ever.

When you enter into your new school, the first thing is that you need to know the escape (逃跑) map well.

You may find the escape map in every classroom. Please go over it and remember the closest exit (出口) and right way to the exit. What you should do:

*If you see a fire or smell smoke, don't wait. Every room in the school has got a fire alarm (报警器). Use something hard, like a shoe, to break the glass and start the alarm system.

*If you hear the fire alarm, move quickly. Don't stop to get your textbooks and notes. Leave your things in the classroom.

*Don't run! Walk quickly to the playground. Remember to follow the arrows (箭头) on the fire escape map.

*Don't go home! Wait for your teacher to call your name and be sure that you are safe. Be careful. Don't go back into the school buildings until a teacher has told you that it is safe.

Mike, a pediatric cardiologist (小儿心脏病专家), lost a bunch of keys while cycling to the park to meet a friend. The keys were attached to a keychain with a crystal (水晶) photo of his daughter, which held great emotional value for him.

The crystal photo was more than just a decoration; it held his love for his daughter, whose smiling, lovely face always gave him strength, especially during challenging moments at work

When Mike realized the keys were missing, he felt anxious. He thought they might have fallen out of his backpack during the ride. Determined to find them, he retraced his steps and searched almost all the road. However, he still couldn't find them. Then he came up to check with the park service center, but several days later, there were no replies.

As the last effort, Mike turned to social media. He shared a heartfelt post in an online neighborhood group, describing his situation. The post was reshared by several community groups, quickly spreading the word for everyone to keep an eye out for the missing keys.

At the same time, a man named Chris found the keys near a tree in the park. Chris found them when he was on the way back home after caring for his little son at hospital, who had been suffering from serious heart disease. When he saw the photo of the little girl on the keychain, he thought they must be the keys of a parent who loved his or her daughter so much. Wanting to give them back to the owner, however, Chris didn't have any identifying information (识别信息). He considered leaving them on a bench on the roadside, but he was afraid that they might get lost again. Thinking twice, he finally decided to take the keys home, hoping to find the owner in other ways.

Grow your social network. If you feel you don't have enough people in your life to whom you're connected, you can take active steps to make more relationships to bring more people in your life.Go to parties, community gatherings, and local events where you can meet new people. You never know who you might meet or what chances might appear from these interactions.

Strengthen existing relationships.What if you have enough people in your life but you don't feel connected enough to them or you still have let your friendships go? It is always the fact that people who take small actions, day to day, to stay in touch and to connect with people are the ones who keep their relationships strong.

Accept change. People change all the time, and it means relationships are changing, too.The question is, whether we can notice how we're changing and how the other person is changing and accept that change and maybe even celebrate and support that change rather than push against it.

Good communication with others helps you better build and maintain relationships with them, having a positive effect on you by increasing your sense of happiness. Try to listen actively, express yourself clearly, and learn to give and receive useful feedback. All those practices will help you connect with a diverse range of people and enrich your social interactions.

Martonelli played a HITar, a guitar with AI sensors (传感器) added to it. The sensors can read his movements to create drum-like sounds that accompany(伴随) the guitar music. These sounds cannot be made with a normal guitar. Generative AI grew in popularity last year thanks to a robotic language system. Generative AI can create new sounds, words for music or entire songs on its own. But artists usually use simpler AI to add to their sounds.

Musicians worry that the technology could go too far. Amy plays in an English rock group. She said she is not in support of the music that includes artificially made voices of actual artists. She said she felt the same way about using dead artists' voices in songs. In November, the rock group released a song. It is considered the group's last song and includesa musician's voice, who died in 1980. His sounds were taken from an old recording and recreated with AI.

A famous singer said, "I think AI can have its place in the music production chain." But he added, "This is only possible if the technology is guided in the right way and if there are rules in place to make sure that musicians keep some amount of control."
