In the Warring States Period, the State of Qin had a fight with the State of Zhao, Zhao needed some talented people to ask for help from Chu.

Passage 5（考题猜想）
Today’s Topic: Do you think AI is a better teacher than parents Zhang Xiaowen Posted 3 days ago
Song Zexi, 14 May 1 #1
I believe parents are better teachers than AI. First, our parents are closer to us. When we feel worried, they can give us emotional (情感的) support. Also, our parents have more real-life experience than AI. With their help, we can deal with stress better and develop a more positive attitude (态度) toward life. Although AI provides perfect answers, I would still choose my parents as my teachers. They not only help with my studies but also offer love and support in difficult times. AI is a great tool, but it can never replace the close relationship between parents and children. View (318) Likes (29)
Miao Mucheng, 14 May 6 #4
I think AI is a better teacher than parents. Unlike parents, AI always stays calm and patient. This helps families avoid arguments, which not only improves the parent-child relationship but also makes learning more efficient (高效的). AI is also a smart tool that can quickly collect a lot of information and offer more correct and different ways to solve study problems. Plus, AI is always ready and never gets tired, making learning easier and more convenient. View (200) Likes (15)
Li Yufan, 15 May 25 #16
When I have trouble with math, AI gives me step-by-step help without losing patience. That makes me feel good. However, parents have something special. They love and care for us in ways that go beyond studying. My mother sometimes gets angry, but after she shouts, she also makes me feel better with hugs and kind words. She understands my strengths and weaknesses from everyday life and always thinks about my feelings. In the end, although AI is dependable and helpful for studying, it can never replace my parents, who play an important role in every part of my life. View (113) Likes(32)

By: Cindy Wu on Saturday, April 13
The other day, my friends and I had a discussion about the most useful invention of all time. There were many good ideas— the train, the car, and the airplane. They’re all useful, but for an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner. I live in Taipei, and during the summer the temperature can be 35°C or higher. It’s so hot! I’m not joking when I say that, without an air conditioner, people here couldn’t work or study. The weather is so hot that it can make you feel unwell.
By: Jorge on Sunday, April 14
I don’t know if I agree with you, Cindy. For me, the most useful invention of all time is surely the Internet. We can now reach people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City, and there’s a lot of competition. I also have a website. Now, people from all over the world can buy my clothing. With the Internet, I can keep in touch with friends and family in Mexico and around the world. It’s faster than usual ways, and it’s cheaper than using the phone!
By: Kazuo on Monday, April 15
Jorge, I also think that the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion, there is an “invention” that is even more important, and that’s electricity. Of course, this isn’t a man-made invention, but without people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta, we wouldn’t have learned how to use it. And without electricity, many of the world’s most important modern inventions wouldn’t work.
1. What’s the main topic of the posts
A. Different kinds of transportation. B. The most useful inventions.
C. The importance of the Internet. D. The history of electricity.
2. Which invention does Cindy think is the most useful
A. The train. B. The car. C. The airplane. D. The air conditioner.

4. Why does Kazuo think electricity is the most useful invention
A. It isn’t really man-made. B. Benjamin Franklin invented it.
C. We have learned how to use it. D. Many machines can’t work without it.

Last month, we asked our students the questions: “Who would you talk with when you have problems ” and “Why ” Here are some of the answers from them.
I am a shy boy. I like to keep everything to myself. I think nobody can really understand me but myself. So I never tell others about my feelings when I feel upset.
I would talk with my parents when I have problems. They are older than me and have more experience. They always listen to me carefully and give me helpful ideas. I believe in them.
When I’m worried or angry, I often write down my problems in my diary. And I read them again a few days later, then I’ll find my problems are not so serious. In this way, I can feel much better.
Life is always full of small problems, but I never worry about them. I would talk to my friends about my worries when possible, because we understand each other and they always give me good advice. I never feel worried.

Passage 4
We should all have at least one fire extinguisher (in our house or school). However, it’s not enough to simply keep one somewhere. The best way to be ready for a fire is to study this guide carefully and review it regularly.
Have a clear way out
Before using the fire extinguisher, make sure you have a clear way out. If you cannot put out the fire, you will need to find a safe way out.
Call the fire department
Even if you can control the fire, you should always have the fire department or the way. Once firefighters arrive, they can double-check if the fire has been completely put out.
Stand back
Face the fire and keep your back to the clear exit. You should stay between 1 and 2.5 meters away from the flames (火焰) as you prepare to use the fire extinguishe.
Use the extinguisher
It can be difficult to think clearly in a fire. One method to help you remember how to operate an extinguisher is to remember “PASS”:
● P-Pull: Pull the pin (保险销) on the fire extinguisher.
● A-Aim: Aim low. Point to the bottom of the fire instead of the flames.
● S-Squeeze: Squeeze the handle (把手) to set out the extinguishing chemicals.
● S-Sweep: Sweep the nozzle (喷嘴) from side to side until the fire is put out.
Keep an eye on things
After the fire appears to be out, continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn’t start burning again. If the fire does start up again, repeat the “PASS” process.
Get to a safe place
Once the fire is out, or if you are unable to put it out, leave at once. Find a place out of reach of the fire.
1. What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A. To show us how to stay away from a fire.

Passage 5（考题猜想）
Today’s Topic: Do you think AI is a better teacher than parents Zhang Xiaowen Posted 3 days ago
Song Zexi, 14 May 1 #1
I believe parents are better teachers than AI. First, our parents are closer to us. When we feel worried, they can give us emotional (情感的) support. Also, our parents have more real-life experience than AI. With their help, we can deal with stress better and develop a more positive attitude (态度) toward life. Although AI provides perfect answers, I would still choose my parents as my teachers. They not only help with my studies but also offer love and support in difficult times. AI is a great tool, but it can never replace the close relationship between parents and children. View (318) Likes (29)
Miao Mucheng, 14 May 6 #4
I think AI is a better teacher than parents. Unlike parents, AI always stays calm and patient. This helps families avoid arguments, which not only improves the parent-child relationship but also makes learning more efficient (高效的). AI is also a smart tool that can quickly collect a lot of information and offer more correct and different ways to solve study problems. Plus, AI is always ready and never gets tired, making learning easier and more convenient. View (200) Likes (15)
Li Yufan, 15 May 25 #16
When I have trouble with math, AI gives me step-by-step help without losing patience. That makes me feel good. However, parents have something special. They love and care for us in ways that go beyond studying. My mother sometimes gets angry, but after she shouts, she also makes me feel better with hugs and kind words. She understands my strengths and weaknesses from everyday life and always thinks about my feelings. In the end, although AI is dependable and helpful for studying, it can never replace my parents, who play an important role in every part of my life. View (113) Likes(32)

By: Cindy Wu on Saturday, April 13
The other day, my friends and I had a discussion about the most useful invention of all time. There were many good ideas— the train, the car, and the airplane. They’re all useful, but for an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner. I live in Taipei, and during the summer the temperature can be 35°C or higher. It’s so hot! I’m not joking when I say that, without an air conditioner, people here couldn’t work or study. The weather is so hot that it can make you feel unwell.
By: Jorge on Sunday, April 14
I don’t know if I agree with you, Cindy. For me, the most useful invention of all time is surely the Internet. We can now reach people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City, and there’s a lot of competition. I also have a website. Now, people from all over the world can buy my clothing. With the Internet, I can keep in touch with friends and family in Mexico and around the world. It’s faster than usual ways, and it’s cheaper than using the phone!

Passage 2
Last month, we asked our students the questions: “Who would you talk with when you have problems ” and “Why ” Here are some of the answers from them.
I am a shy boy. I like to keep everything to myself. I think nobody can really understand me but myself. So I never tell others about my feelings when I feel upset.
I would talk with my parents when I have problems. They are older than me and have more experience. They always listen to me carefully and give me helpful ideas. I believe in them.
When I’m worried or angry, I often write down my problems in my diary. And I read them again a few days later, then I’ll find my problems are not so serious. In this way, I can feel much better.
Life is always full of small problems, but I never worry about them. I would talk to my friends about my worries when possible, because we understand each other and they always give me good advice. I never feel worried.

Passage 4
We should all have at least one fire extinguisher (in our house or school). However, it’s not enough to simply keep one somewhere. The best way to be ready for a fire is to study this guide carefully and review it regularly.
Have a clear way out
Before using the fire extinguisher, make sure you have a clear way out. If you cannot put out the fire, you will need to find a safe way out.
Call the fire department
Even if you can control the fire, you should always have the fire department or the way. Once firefighters arrive, they can double-check if the fire has been completely put out.
Stand back
Face the fire and keep your back to the clear exit. You should stay between 1 and 2.5 meters away from the flames (火焰) as you prepare to use the fire extinguishe.
Use the extinguisher
It can be difficult to think clearly in a fire. One method to help you remember how to operate an extinguisher is to remember “PASS”:
● P-Pull: Pull the pin (保险销) on the fire extinguisher.
● A-Aim: Aim low. Point to the bottom of the fire instead of the flames.
● S-Squeeze: Squeeze the handle (把手) to set out the extinguishing chemicals.
● S-Sweep: Sweep the nozzle (喷嘴) from side to side until the fire is put out.
Keep an eye on things
After the fire appears to be out, continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn’t start burning again. If the fire does start up again, repeat the “PASS” process.
Get to a safe place
Once the fire is out, or if you are unable to put it out, leave at once. Find a place out of reach of the fire.
1. What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A. To show us how to stay away from a fire.
B. To teach us how to use a fire extinguisher.
C. To share with us his experience of putting out a fire.
