①A little brown-and-white bird flies across the East African grassland and finds a hive (蜂房) in a big tree. The bird loves bee larvae (幼虫), her favorite food, but she’s too small to challenge groups of bees. Luckily, she has a helper: humans! She’s a greater honeyguide. And this kind of birds has guided tribes (部落) in East Africa to find honey for thousands of years.
②Honeyguides are special because they’re wild and no one trains them. Also, they don’t learn their honey- finding skills from their parents. This means they know these skills all by themselves.
③The honeyguide flies back to look for humans. When she finds them, she chatters (喋喋不休) loudly. Then the tribes know that the bird is ready to lead them to find honey. They run after her. When they reach the hive, the honeyguide sings a new song to say, “Here it is!” After the humans get enough honey, they leave the larvae behind for the honeyguide.
④Many East African tribes get honey only in this way. Each tribe has a different way of talking with the honeyguide. In Moambique, people develop a call “brrrrr-hmmph”. Other tribes have a special whistle (口哨).
⑤The role of this little bird is smaller, however. As more people move to cities and work on the farms, fewer people know how to find honey with honeyguides. Besides, some even learned to raise their own bees. But for people in Mozambique, they still love these little birds. They know that by working together, life’s a little sweeter for everyone.
27. What is TRUE about a honeyguide from Paragraph 1 and 2
A. It doesn’t show any interest in bee larvae.
B. It can take tribes in East Africa to find hives.
C. It is often black and white with a small build.

When I have trouble with my schoolwork, I like asking ________ for help.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文1：
When I have trouble with my schoolwork, I like asking parents for help. Here are my reasons.
First, my parents are closer to me. When I feel worried, they can give me encouragement. Also, my parents have more real-life experience than AI. With their help, I can be under less pressure and develop a more positive attitude toward life. They not only help with my studies but also offer love and care in difficult times. AI is a great tool, but it can never take the place of parent-child relationship.
Although AI provides perfect answers, I would still choose my parents as my teachers.
例文2：
When I have trouble with my schoolwork, I like asking AI for help. Here are my reasons.
Different from parents, AI always has different ideas. This helps families avoid arguments, which not only improves the parent-child relationship but also makes learning more efficient. Also, AI is so smart that it can quickly collect a lot of information and give answers quickly. What’s more, whenever I have trouble with math, AI gives me some help step by step. That makes me feel good.
Compared with parents, I prefer AI to be my helper.
