Christmas was so close, and so was Ann’s birthday. She wished she could get a new dress with frills (荷叶边) and lace (蕾丝) as a wonderful Christmas gift. But Ann did not want to ask her mom for that.

Ann checked the gift carefully to find out who had given her this beautiful dress. Suddenly a small piece of paper fell out from the dress.
Dear Ann,This dress is gifted to you for being a good girl. Hope you continue to do good things and help your mother. Your Loving friend, Santa Claus

How will geography affect your life For some children around the world, the environment they grow up in has a huge effect on their lives. This is the case in Madagascar, an island country in Africa, where a 3D-printed school is now being built.
Maggie Grout was just 15 years old when she set up a non-profit organization-Thinking Huts. Now 22, she is raising money to build a series of 3D-printed school powered by solar energy. She led the whole process from start to finish, working with university professors. They chose Madagascar because it needs more schools. Many children in that country don’t have the chance to have access to education. Besides, it has a lot of sunshine, which can be made into energy to power things.
Maggie then drew a design for the school. She thought about what the people might need and where they worked best.
Next, Maggie found an architect and 3D printing company for the job. To make it environmentally friendly, they use a special 3D printer to build the school. It meant up to 50 percent less concrete (混凝土) used and less CO2. Plus, the school could be completed in just a week. They also used local materials to build the doors, windows and roof.
What’s more, Thinking Huts trained local workers to use a 3D printer so that they could build more schools on their own in the future. Maggie plans to print more new schools in other parts of Madagascar because one in five children don’t have the chance to attend primary school there.
So far, Grouts charity has already raised $125,000. “It’s not so bad to me! Of course, we need more.” Maggie told Spring wise website.
13．When did Maggie Grout set up Thinking Huts
14．What kind of energy did Maggie’s 3D-printed schools use
15．Why did Maggie build the 3D-printed schools in Madagascar first
16．How did the 3D printing firm make its work environmentally friendly

Recently, my 15-year-old daughter asked me for help with her homework. Unfortunately, I was already busy helping her brother. When I finally came to her 30 minutes later, she told me that it was too late and that she had asked Chat GPT for help. Through several rounds of questions and answers, the bot(机器人程序) had explained her physics lesson as well as helped her solve the problem. I checked the chat. The explanations were perfect.
I wouldn’t call this cheating—she had not asked the bot to do the work for her. Rather, it was through her interaction(交互) with the bot that she gained a better understanding of the problem and how to solve it. This year is likely going to be the tipping point(爆发点) for AI. Below let’s take a closer look at what GPT is, how it works, its limitations and problems.
Chat GPT is a big language model. It is trained on a large amount of text, which allows it to produce human-like responses to various questions. However, Chat GPT has trouble with complicated mathematical calculations. This probably shows that logical thinking hasn’t been fully picked up by such models. Moreover, in the current model, most of the training text was collected from publicly available data that had been gathered before the year 2021. As a result, such models are unable to produce accurate current information.
As a free tool, Chat GPT has allowed students to complete their homework without much effort. This has raised concerns(忧虑) about cheating—and the loss of learning ability. Educators fear that students will become lazy thinkers. They will fail to develop lifelong skills like critical thinking(批判性思考), researching and writing.
For sure, Chat GPT is a powerful language model. It has the power to completely change the way we learn and interact with machines. As the Chinese saying goes, “Water can carry a boat but it can also turn it over.” I think it’s important for us to remain aware of the problems that it’s likely to cause.
19．The author didn’t help his daughter with her homework, did he

21．What is Chat GPT
22．Why do educators fear that students will become lazy thinkers

Paddling (用桨划船）a dragon boat is no piece of cake. Besides the key time required to be part of a team, it’s a full-body exercise. When I joined a team, they told me it took at least three years to become a good paddler. There’s so much to remember: correct posture and movement as well as team synchronization(同步，同时性）are necessary for a team’s success.
Dragon boat racing is a well-honored tradition in China and the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival. However, because of the pandemic (疫情）, last year’ s races were put off from June to October. For the first time, Taipei’s dragon boat championships were held during the October holiday,
Our team knew racing conditions on the river would be different in October, but we had no idea how different they would be. A nearby typhoon brought in the fierce winds and big waves on the river. With about 40 teams participating, I didn’t expect our team to go very far. This was the first competition for most of us. And only the top two finishers in each group would advance to the next round.
Simply getting to the race’s starting point for our first group was a challenge. The big waves threatened to flip(翻转）us over. Paddling against wave was tough, but we crossed the finish line and surprisingly, advanced to the second round.
The next day, there was no shortage of accidents. Boats flipped over and others lost control and weren’t able to finish their races. In our final race that day, we narrowly advanced to the following day’s semifinals.
We faced strong competitors in the semifinals, including a semiprofessional team. Being held back by their boat’s waves was highly frustrating. However, in dragon boat racing, no one ever stops paddling, no matter what! So I kept paddling working my hardest to keep pace with the team. We trailed the other boats, but we didn’t lose hope. In the final push, filled with both excitement and exhaustion, we persisted and advanced to the finals!
Although we had expectations, never did we imagine we’d make it into the top three. How come Let me tell you! To win a dragon boat race, you need three things:
6 , 6 and 6 .

（2022·上海宝山·统考二模）After spending the weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very valuable lesson in life by the great example you set. When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who had ordered his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it. Without any hesitation, you went over and put the extra $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you also threw a five-cent coin onto the road and said something like, “Some kids will really enjoy finding it.”
Last week, a young man ahead of me in the line at a petrol (汽油) station didn’t have enough money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much short is he ” She told me he had meant to put $15 petrol in his car but he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15 litres (升) which came to just over $20. This is an easy mistake as both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and what you did that night at the cafe in Bondi. I handed the young man $6. He was so surprised and said, “But why would you do this for me ” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son. It’s better to give than to receive. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the ground and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there just in case some kids will get excited to find it.
Love always,
Mum

Different Attitudes towards Hairstyles
A new research shows that women try 150 different hairstyles in their lifetime, including various cuts, colours and shapes. However, men settle(固定) on their favourite hairstyle after trying only 5 different cuts.
The study of 2,000 women has found that women visit the hairdresser five times a year on average, and about 100 like to try something different with each trip to the hairdresser. Almost half are willing to be experimental and change their hairstyle.
Women are likely to go for two new styles and at least one colour change every year between the ages of 15 and 65. The study found that 64 percent of women will change their hair simply because they are bored with their current style. Nearly 12 percent will change their hair so as to look like a celebrity(名人) while 15 percent will change their style for a wedding. 13 percent of women would change their hairstyle after having a baby. Other reasons for trying a new hairstyle were birthdays.
However, men are not as troublesome as women. They only try five different hairstyles and then stick to their favourite one in their lifetime. Men usually stick with just one style because of its being convenient (68 percent) or being liked by their partner (10 percent).
The study of 2,000 men also noticed how celebrity hairstyles(名人发型) have the influence on them and what kind of haircuts would be more fashionable in their eyes. 400 of them admit they want to grow their hair longer to copy the likes of David Beckham and actor Brad Pitt, while 240 consider dying(染色) their hair grey, to keep up with fashion trends(潮流). Actually, a hairstyle that stands for one’s personality is the first choice for men.

Working as a part-time assistant in a shop is a way for young people to earn some extra money. For me, it is more than twenty dollars per hour.
Like other eighteen-year-old girls, I chose to work in a clothing shop. On the first day, I was trained to fold and organize platform after platform of clothes. The work didn’t seem easy to me because everything had to be done in an accurate way. I felt a little impatient because I couldn’t get it right the first couple of times. The manager told me not to be impatient and taught me skills on how to finish the work well. After hundreds of tries, I had the clothes folded perfectly. Then it took me thirty minutes to get them all looking uniform. Now, I fold and organize clothes in the shop every day, and I am able to do them well. Through this experience, I’ve learned patience can help me in the work.
Helping customers and connecting with them are the things I love most in the shop. About three weeks ago, I helped an old lady who was looking for a special dress. She told me exactly what she was picturing—a blue dress with long sleeves and a lace neck. We didn’t have any such dress, and when I explained that to her, she wasn’t very happy. Instead of getting impatient, I tried getting to learn about her interest first. We shared our love of the fashion show. I also asked her what the dress was for, so I could help her get the clothes she liked. Everything I did worked. She found other items she liked and finally bought some new blouses and jeans worth of $300. This experience has taught me how to meet customers’ needs.
I’ve experienced frustrations and challenges in the work. To do well, I must learn to deal with them. The work experience changed me a lot and helped me in other aspects of my life as well.
