More and more companies have used it in their products, such as AlphaGo, self-driving, facial recognition, online assistants and so on. Generally, there are two types of AI: weak AI and strong AI. Weak AI is an AI system that is designed and trained to complete a specific task. For example, Apple’s Siri can answer people’s simple questions and obey a programmed order. But it can’t work without humans. Strong AI differs from weak AI in this part most. Strong AI can solve problems and find solutions without humans, such as the self-driving car. It can control a vehicle without human involvement, and avoid unexpected obstacles, such as passersby. As a whole, AI can make human life easy and convenient, and many experts believe the future of AI is bright. But it is expensive and requires complex systems to operate. There are still many problems to solve, such as...

Courage is a huge theme in my life，a quality I constantly seek，appreciate，and analyze.The root of"courage"is "cor，"the Latin word for heart.Originally，courage meant"to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart."While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays，I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage.During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students，I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group.Despite my suggestions to rest，she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.
Panicked，I called out to the front for help，but there was no response，and we had no cellphone signal.Fortunately，two students just came back to check out on us.They offered assistance and calmed us down.As we continued at a slower pace，they shared their own experiences，from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
"You know，"one of them said，looking at my daughter，"I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace，you'll get there too."
"Yeah，don't let your lack of experience stop you，"the other added."It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright.In fact，it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it.That's how we improve and grow."
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me.However，the two students addressed the celebrating group directly，emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments.Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery，and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group.Courage，I've come to realize，has a ripple effect.Each time we choose courage，we inspire those around us to be a little brave r and make the world a little better.
24.Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage？ ______
A. To argue for the true essence of courage.
B. To question the common belief of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
25.What did the two students suggest the daughter do？ ______
A. Challenge her own limits.
B. Seek help whenever possible.
C. Keep to a suitable pace.
D. Stick with experienced climbers.
26.Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage？ ______
A. The mother asked the girl to rest.
B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.
D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.
27.What does the author intend to tell us？ ______
A. Kindness connects us all.
B. Being a beginner takes courage.
C. With courage，everyone can be perfect.
D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.
【答案】A、B、D、D
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据文章第一段The root of"courage"is "cor，"the Latin word for heart.Originally，courage meant"to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart.（"勇气"的词根是"cor"，拉丁语中心脏的意思。最初，勇气意味着"说出自己的想法，说出自己的全部想法"。）可知，作者提到勇气的原意是论证勇气的真正本质。故答案为A。
（2）推理判断题。根据文章第四段"You know，"one of them said，looking at my daughter，"I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace，you'll get there too."（"你知道，"其中一个看着我女儿说，"我刚开始的时候和你一样。但只要练习和适当的节奏，你也会达到目标的。"）以及第五段 "Yeah，don't let your lack of experience stop you，"the other added."It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright.In fact，it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it.That's how we improve and grow."（"是的，不要让你的经验不足阻止你，"另一个人补充道。"当你在挣扎或感觉不舒服时，承认是可以的。事实上，当你需要帮助时，大声说出来并寻求帮助是很重要的。这就是我们进步和成长的方式。"）可知，两个学生建议女儿尽可能寻求帮助。故答案为B。
（3）推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段However，the two students addressed the celebrating group directly，emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments.Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.（然而，两名学生直接向庆祝小组发表讲话，强调在艰苦的环境中呆在一起的重要性。他们的话导致该组织向我们道歉，因为我们忽视了我们的斗争。）可知，两个学生指出了小组的错误是真正勇气的例子。故答案为D。
（4）推理判断题。根据文章第一段While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays，I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.（虽然如今勇气往往与英雄主义联系在一起，但我相信真正的勇气在于对自己和感受坦诚相待。）可知，作者想通过女儿的故事告诉我们我们不一定要成为英雄才能勇敢。故答案为D。
作者想通过女儿的故事告诉人们虽然如今勇气往往与英雄主义联系在一起，但他相信真正的勇气在于对自己和感受坦诚相待。人们不一定要成为英雄才能勇敢。
C
One day in 1995，a large，heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight.He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank.Later that night，police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler.When they showed him the surveillance tapes，Wheeler stared in disbelief. "But I wore the juice，" he mumbled.Apparently，Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras.After all，lemon juice is used as invisible ink so，as long as he didn't come near a heat source，he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University，who enlisted his graduate student，Justin Kruger，to see what was going on.They reasoned that，while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields，some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are.This "illusion of confidence" is now called the "Dunning-Kruger effect"，and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab，Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments.In one study，they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar，logic and jokes，and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall，as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students.Interestingly，students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did-by a lot.Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
Sure，it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities.The problem is that when people are incompetent，not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices，but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes.In a semester-long study of college students，good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings.However，the poorest performers showed no recognition，despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly.Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways，incompetent people insist that their ways are correct.As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man（1871）： "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."
Interestingly，really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their abilities.As much as D-and F-grade students overestimate their abilities，A-grade students underestimate theirs.The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment given appropriate feedback，while incompetent individuals cannot.
28.Which of the following statements about the Dunning-Kruger effect is TRUE？ ______
A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
29.What do the college students' behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove？ ______
A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D. People can't rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments.
30.The underlined word "begets" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by " ______ ".
A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of
C. makes up for D. breaks away from
31.What can we infer from the passage？ ______
A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.
【答案】C、B、A、A
【解析】（1）C．细节理解题．根据第二段第二句"They reasoned that，while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields，some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are．"他们的理由是，虽然大多数人都会肯定自己在各种社会和智力领域的能力，但有些人错误地认为自己的能力远高于实际水平．可知，有些人对于自己的能力过于自信．故选C．
（2）B．细节理解题．根据第五段倒数第二句"Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways，incompetent people insist that their ways are correct．"能力欠缺的人坚称他们的方法是正确的，而不会对他们错误的行事方式感到困惑或深思熟虑．可知，这证明了能力欠缺的人对自身选择的态度非常固执僵化．故选B．
（3）A．词义猜测题．根据第五段第二句"The problem is that when people are incompetent，not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices，but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes．"问题是，当人们能力欠缺时，他们不仅会得出错误的结论，做出不当的选择，而且会丧失认识自身错误的能力．可知，能力欠缺会导致认知偏差，因此划线词"begets"意为导致，可以换为"gives rise to"造成．故选A．
（4）A．推理判断题．该题提问的是我们能从文中推断出什么．根据最后一段最后一句"The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment given appropriate feedback，while incompetent individuals cannot．"不同的是，有能力的人可以并且确实可以在适当的反馈下调整他们的自我评估，而不称职的人则不能．可知，真正的知识是了解自身无知的程度．故选A．
本文是一篇说明文．文章介绍了心理学现象"达克效应"，以及推导出这一效应的实验．
考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

Renewable energy sources can help combat climate change，but dietary choices also play a significant role.Opting for plant-based diets or lab-grown food can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the food system.We highlight the potential of dietary changes and the importance of providing choices instead of mandates （命令）.
Research shows that a global shift towards vegetarian（素食的） diets could cut emissions from food system by over half.Even small changes towards plant-based diets can have a meaningful impact.Substituting conventional food with lab-grown alternatives could prevent 1 degree of future warming.These findings demonstrate the power of dietary changes in addressing climate challenges.
Dietary choices are influenced by factors like culture，religion，and economics.It is unrealistic to expect everyone to become vegetarian immediately.Respecting individual choices is crucial in promoting sustainable diets.By offering information and raising awareness，individuals can make choices according to their needs and values while contributing to collective efforts.
Transforming industrial food production is necessary，but individual choices are still vital.Education and awareness campaigns can inform people about the environmental impact of different dietary choices and empower them to make informed bining individual actions with systematic changes can create a powerful force for human health and the planet，Rather than expecting immediate vegetarianism，acknowledging the impact of small changes is important.Gradual shifts towards more sustainable dietary choices，like reducing animal product consumption and increasing vegetable intake，can result in significant environmental benefits when multiplied across populations.
In conclusion，addressing climate change requires multiple approaches，with dietary choices playing a crucial role.Offering choices while recognizing the challenges associated with dietary shifts is essential.By combining personal dietary changes with broader efforts to reshape the food system，we can make substantial progress towards a healthier planet while respecting individual preferences.
32.Which is a dietary choice to reduce greenhouse gas emissions？ ______
A. Choosing plant-based diets.
B. Choosing renewable energy sources.
C. Giving the command for dietary changes.
D. Increasing consumption of processed food.
33.How does the author show the effects of dietary changes in paragraph 2？ ______
A. By answering questions. B. By listing a figure.
C. By analyzing the reasons. D. By using a quotation.
34.What's the author's attitude towards small dietary changes？ ______
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical.
C. Favorable. D. Objective.
35.What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. Small changes in life choices can make big impacts
B. Renewable energy sources can reduce gas emissions
C. Lab-grown nutritional food could prevent future warming
D. The power of dietary choices in fighting climate change
【答案】A、B、C、D
【解析】 （1）细节理解题。根据文章第一段Opting for plant-based diets or lab-grown food can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the food system.（选择植物性饮食或实验室种植的食物可以减少食物系统的温室气体排放。）可知，选择植物性饮食是一种减少温室气体排放的饮食选择。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据文章第二段Research shows that a global shift towards vegetarian（素食的） diets could cut emissions from food system by over half.（研究表明，全球向素食饮食的转变可以将食品系统的排放量减少一半以上。）可知，作者通过列举一个数字来说明饮食变化的影响。故选B。
（3）观点态度题。根据文章最后一段By combining personal dietary changes with broader efforts to reshape the food system，we can make substantial progress towards a healthier planet while respecting individual preferences.（通过将个人饮食改变与重塑粮食系统的更广泛努力相结合，我们可以在尊重个人偏好的同时，朝着更健康的地球取得实质性进展。）可知，作者对于为应对气候变化，人们改变饮食选择的态度是支持的。A．Indifferent冷漠的；B．Skeptical怀疑的；C．Favorable支持的；D．Objective客观的。故选C。
（4）标题归纳题。根据文章第二段Research shows that a global shift towards vegetarian（素食的） diets could cut emissions from food system by over half.Even small changes towards plant-based diets can have a meaningful impact（研究表明，全球向素食饮食的转变可以将食物系统的排放量减少一半以上。即使是对植物性饮食的微小改变也会产生有意义的影响。）以及全文可知，文章主要讨论了饮食选择的变化对环境产生的影响，选项D．The power of dietary choices in fighting climate change（饮食选择在应对气候变化中的力量）符合本文标题。故选D。

（10）考查形容词比较级。句意：当我们展望环境意识和可持续实践变得越来越重要的未来时，屋顶农业证明了我们种植不仅仅是食物的能力---我们为一个更绿色、更有活力的世界培养了希望。根据空后and more resilient world可知本空应填形容词比较级，and连接两个形容词比较级。故填greener。

58.It was nearly midnight by the time 18-year-old Amy Waldroop returned to her grandmother's tiny house，and she was exhausted.After a full day's work at a flower shop，she had put in another six hours waiting tables before heading home.This was her typical weekends.
Pushing the key into the lock，she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger siblings.She stepped into the front room，and froze.The house was a mess：plates of half-eaten food were scattered in front of the TV；clothes，shoes and exercise books were everywhere.
Amy's eyes welled with tears."This is just way too much for me."she thought.Her worst fears began to race through her mind.Two years before，her parents lost their lives in an accident，leaving Amy and her siblings for their grandma-Helen who had spent half of her life in a wheelchair.The life burden fell on Amy's shoulders，which was too much for a girl.
One day，walking across the school grounds，Amy found a table littered with university brochures.She browsed through pictures of spacious campuses and happy kids-all of it looking unachievable for her，given the current situation and financial conditions.But her teacher gave her unexpected hope，saying"You could attend university for free.It would take a scholarship，though，and for that you'd need much better grades."
During her final year of high school，Amy diligently attended classes，then went to work after school，returned to her grandmother's house，cared for her sisters and brothers and went through homework till the early hours of the morning，struggling for her dream university.
One afternoon，she walked home from school，holding a sheet of paper tightly.It was a letter from the University of California，informing her that she would be offered a scholarship and was admitted to the university.It was what she'd longed for，a place where she could study to become someone special-a nurse，perhaps，or maybe even a lawyer.

The next afternoon，Amy spotted the wrinkled letter on the table when arriving home.Surprised and curious，she looked around，wondering who had put it there.Just then her grandmother and her siblings came into sight.Gently holding Amy's hand，Helen said，"Go and chase your dream.Don't miss such a good chance.""But who will take care of all of you？"Amy asked anxiously."We will，"her siblings answered.Looking at them，Amy was greatly touched.Helen told her that she had contacted the community and the staff there would try their best to help them.Feeling relieved，Amy held the letter tightly，with tears in her eyes.It was family's love and support that could help you move forward.（家人支持她只求自己的梦想）

Courage is a huge theme in my life，a quality I constantly seek，appreciate，and analyze.The root of"courage"is "cor，"the Latin word for heart.Originally，courage meant"to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart."While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays，I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage.During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students，I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group.Despite my suggestions to rest，she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.
Panicked，I called out to the front for help，but there was no response，and we had no cellphone signal.Fortunately，two students just came back to check out on us.They offered assistance and calmed us down.As we continued at a slower pace，they shared their own experiences，from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
"You know，"one of them said，looking at my daughter，"I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace，you'll get there too."
"Yeah，don't let your lack of experience stop you，"the other added."It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright.In fact，it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it.That's how we improve and grow."
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me.However，the two students addressed the celebrating group directly，emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments.Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery，and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group.Courage，I've come to realize，has a ripple effect.Each time we choose courage，we inspire those around us to be a little brave r and make the world a little better.

One day in 1995，a large，heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight.He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank.Later that night，police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler.When they showed him the surveillance tapes，Wheeler stared in disbelief. "But I wore the juice，" he mumbled.Apparently，Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras.After all，lemon juice is used as invisible ink so，as long as he didn't come near a heat source，he should have been completely invisible.
The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University，who enlisted his graduate student，Justin Kruger，to see what was going on.They reasoned that，while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields，some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are.This "illusion of confidence" is now called the "Dunning-Kruger effect"，and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.
To investigate this phenomenon in the lab，Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments.In one study，they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar，logic and jokes，and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall，as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students.Interestingly，students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did-by a lot.Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
Sure，it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities.The problem is that when people are incompetent，not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices，but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes.In a semester-long study of college students，good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings.However，the poorest performers showed no recognition，despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly.Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways，incompetent people insist that their ways are correct.As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man（1871）： "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."
Interestingly，really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their abilities.As much as D-and F-grade students overestimate their abilities，A-grade students underestimate theirs.The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment given appropriate feedback，while incompetent individuals cannot.
28.Which of the following statements about the Dunning-Kruger effect is TRUE？ ______
A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.
B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.
C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.
D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.
29.What do the college students' behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove？ ______
A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.
B. Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.
C. Good students can predict their future performance accurately.
D. People can't rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments.
30.The underlined word "begets" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by " ______ ".
A. gives rise to B. takes advantage of
C. makes up for D. breaks away from
31.What can we infer from the passage？ ______
A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.
B. It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.
C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.
D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.
D
Renewable energy sources can help combat climate change，but dietary choices also play a significant role.Opting for plant-based diets or lab-grown food can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the food system.We highlight the potential of dietary changes and the importance of providing choices instead of mandates （命令）.
Research shows that a global shift towards vegetarian（素食的） diets could cut emissions from food system by over half.Even small changes towards plant-based diets can have a meaningful impact.Substituting conventional food with lab-grown alternatives could prevent 1 degree of future warming.These findings demonstrate the power of dietary changes in addressing climate challenges.
Dietary choices are influenced by factors like culture，religion，and economics.It is unrealistic to expect everyone to become vegetarian immediately.Respecting individual choices is crucial in promoting sustainable diets.By offering information and raising awareness，individuals can make choices according to their needs and values while contributing to collective efforts.
Transforming industrial food production is necessary，but individual choices are still vital.Education and awareness campaigns can inform people about the environmental impact of different dietary choices and empower them to make informed bining individual actions with systematic changes can create a powerful force for human health and the planet，Rather than expecting immediate vegetarianism，acknowledging the impact of small changes is important.Gradual shifts towards more sustainable dietary choices，like reducing animal product consumption and increasing vegetable intake，can result in significant environmental benefits when multiplied across populations.
In conclusion，addressing climate change requires multiple approaches，with dietary choices playing a crucial role.Offering choices while recognizing the challenges associated with dietary shifts is essential.By combining personal dietary changes with broader efforts to reshape the food system，we can make substantial progress towards a healthier planet while respecting individual preferences.
32.Which is a dietary choice to reduce greenhouse gas emissions？ ______
A. Choosing plant-based diets.
B. Choosing renewable energy sources.
C. Giving the command for dietary changes.
D. Increasing consumption of processed food.
33.How does the author show the effects of dietary changes in paragraph 2？ ______
A. By answering questions. B. By listing a figure.
C. By analyzing the reasons. D. By using a quotation.
34.What's the author's attitude towards small dietary changes？ ______
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical.
C. Favorable. D. Objective.
35.What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. Small changes in life choices can make big impacts
B. Renewable energy sources can reduce gas emissions
C. Lab-grown nutritional food could prevent future warming
D. The power of dietary choices in fighting climate change

58.It was nearly midnight by the time 18-year-old Amy Waldroop returned to her grandmother's tiny house，and she was exhausted.After a full day's work at a flower shop，she had put in another six hours waiting tables before heading home.This was her typical weekends.
Pushing the key into the lock，she quietly opened the door so as not to wake her younger siblings.She stepped into the front room，and froze.The house was a mess：plates of half-eaten food were scattered in front of the TV；clothes，shoes and exercise books were everywhere.
Amy's eyes welled with tears."This is just way too much for me."she thought.Her worst fears began to race through her mind.Two years before，her parents lost their lives in an accident，leaving Amy and her siblings for their grandma-Helen who had spent half of her life in a wheelchair.The life burden fell on Amy's shoulders，which was too much for a girl.
One day，walking across the school grounds，Amy found a table littered with university brochures.She browsed through pictures of spacious campuses and happy kids-all of it looking unachievable for her，given the current situation and financial conditions.But her teacher gave her unexpected hope，saying"You could attend university for free.It would take a scholarship，though，and for that you'd need much better grades."
During her final year of high school，Amy diligently attended classes，then went to work after school，returned to her grandmother's house，cared for her sisters and brothers and went through homework till the early hours of the morning，struggling for her dream university.
One afternoon，she walked home from school，holding a sheet of paper tightly.It was a letter from the University of California，informing her that she would be offered a scholarship and was admitted to the university.It was what she'd longed for，a place where she could study to become someone special-a nurse，perhaps，or maybe even a lawyer.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Yet the letter only made Amy struggle inside.
The next afternoon，Amy spotted the wrinkled letter on the table when arriving home.
