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)

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)

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)

In an art studio in Paris, a 20-year-old French college student, Emily, deeply focuses on learning traditional Chinese painting, known as guohua. Her interest in this art form began during a cultural exchange trip to China. She visited the Palace Museum in Beijing. The beautiful landscapes and bright flowers painted with traditional brushes and ink (墨水) amazed her. This inspired (激励) her to learn more.
After coming back to Paris, Emily joined a guohua class taught by Mr. Zhang, a master of this art. He taught her the basic skills, from holding the brush to mixing ink. After months of practice, Emily completed a painting of a bamboo forest. Mr. Zhang praised her work, saying it was full of energy and spirit, which made her very proud. She realized that Chinese paintings are not only about skills, but also about emotional (情感的) expression and connection with nature.
Emily decided to share her knowledge with others. She organized a small show at her home, explaining the history and importance of guohua to her friends.

She posted videos and gave lessons online.
Emily dreams of spreading guohua around the world. She believes sharing its beauty can bring people closer. “Chinese paintings are like a window to another world. They help me see the beauty in everyday moments and the balance in nature. And they also let me better understand Chinese culture,” she says.
Through her hard work, Emily has not only learned a new skill but also built a bridge between cultures. She hopes her love for guohua will inspire others to explore and value China’s rich cultural heritage (遗产).

My name is Brad Li. I’m here today to tell you about my experience as an exchange student in the United Stated last year.
I must admit that at first America was a big culture shock for me. Many things were strange to me: the language, the food and even the school.
I stayed with a host family in a small town. My host parents, Mr and Mrs Hurst, were very kind. They organized a lot of activities for me in my spare time so that I wouldn’t miss home or feel lonely.
However, to a certain degree, life in the US was hard to get used to. My main problem was with the language. I failed to understand much in the first few weeks because everyone spoke so fast. Though I soon managed to get used to it, I still had problems because they used a lot of idioms. For example, they often say they are “under the weather” when they are ill.
Their everyday English is very different from what we learn in China.
Another difference was the food. My host family always had bread, potatoes and salad for meals. I really missed the dumplings, rice and delicious dishes from home.
School was a big shock too. They do not require students to wear uniforms, so students can wear almost whatever they like. Some students have strange hairstyles as well. Some students even have pink or purple hair!
Anyway, I have many great memories of that year, especially playing in the snow in winter, and playing baseball. At Halloween, I went to a party dressed as Harry Potter. At Thanksgiving, we had a big dinner with a huge turkey.
It was an exciting year, and it was a valuable education for me. Now I understand more about American culture. My American friends asked me many questions about life in China, and this made me think about my own culture as well.
9. What exciting experience did Brad have at Halloween
A. He went to a party dressed as Harry Potter. B. He had a big dinner with a huge turkey.
C. He played in the snow with his friends. D. He played baseball with his friends.

A. Brad Li has been to America before
B. the Hursts organized many activities for Brad to improve his English

D. Brad preferred American food to Chinese food
11. What do you think the passage is

Now, exchange trips are getting more and more popular with students. Many young people want to go on these trips. They think it’s a great chance to see new places, meet new people, and learn things they can’t get from books.
Before you go, it’s good to get ready in your mind. Try to be open to new things. Remember, life in another country might be different from home—and that’s okay! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes when you speak the new language. It’s part of learning. Also, be ready to try things you. ve never done before, like eating strange-looking food or joining a new game.
Exchange trips have many wonderful benefits. First, they help you learn a new language better. In your daily life, you have to use the language: talking to your host family, buying snacks at the store, or asking for directions. This is much more useful than just studying words in a classroom. You’ll get better at speaking and listening quickly.
Second, you’ll learn a lot about other cultures. You can eat local food (maybe spicy or sweet, different from yours!), watch how people celebrate festivals, or see how families live. This makes you understand that the world is full of different ways of life, and that’s interesting.
Third, you’ll become more independent. You might need to plan your own time, solve small problems (like forgetting your way home), or take care of yourself when you feel a little sad. Doing these things makes you stronger and more confident.
However, there are some things to pay attention to. One common challenge is culture shock. For example, local customs might be very different from what you’re used to—maybe people greet each other in a strange way, or food tastes completely new. To deal with this, it’s helpful to learn about the country’s culture before the trip. You can read books, watch videos, or talk to people who have been there. Keeping an open mind and trying to understand instead of judging will also make it easier to fit in.
Exchange trips are amazing experiences. They help you learn languages, know more about the world, and grow into a stronger person. With a little preparation, you’ll have a great time and make memories that last forever.
13.Why do exchange trips help improve language skills better than classroom study
A. Classroom teachers are not as qualified as local people.
B. Students have to use the language in real-life situations daily.
C. Foreign countries have better language learning resources.
D. There are no exams during exchange trips.
14.What can we infer about people who go on exchange trips
A. They usually dislike their own culture.
B. They are likely to become more confident.
C. They must be fluent in the foreign language first.
D. They will never experience any difficulties.
15.What can we know from the passage？
A. Exchange trips can help students understand and respect cultural differences.
B. Culture shock is easy to avoid with no preparation.
C. Host families will solve all problems for exchange students.
D. Students need to be perfect in a foreign language before the trip.
16.What is the author. s attitude towards exchange trips
A. Negative B. Neutral C. Positive D. Doubtful
第二节：阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余选项。
Culture shock is often described as feeling confused (困惑的) or nervous in a foreign place. It’s very common for international students.
Let’s take international students studying in the US for example. 17 This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to adapt (适应) to a different style of learning, such as taking a discussion-based class.
Many international students feel OK with the occasional (偶尔的) embarrassing mistakes at a restaurant or store, but they start to feel strong culture shock when they are often faced with some uncomfortable or unfamiliar situations. “Americans are very outspoken (坦率的) about everything,” said Chau, a student from Vietnam. “ 18 ”
“When I first came to America from China, it was hard for me to understand that Americans drink ice water all year round.” said Jessica, another student. “ It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks are closed on weekends. ” she added. “This is sometimes inconvenient for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.”
Getting adapted to social customs is just one part of adapting to life in America. If international students plan to get an internship (实习) when studying in the US, there is also the possibility for culture shock at work. 19
No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it. 20
A. Culture shock is the confused, strange or anxious feeling when traveling to a foreign country.
B. Stay positive, be social, know yourself and give yourself a break.
C. They may find culture shock experienced in the classroom harder to deal with.
D. For example, having a different professional dress rule, communicating in English by email.
E. I had a hard time adapting because sometimes I do not speak up about how I feel.

Now, exchange trips are getting more and more popular with students. Many young people want to go on these trips. They think it’s a great chance to see new places, meet new people, and learn things they can’t get from books.
Before you go, it’s good to get ready in your mind. Try to be open to new things. Remember, life in another country might be different from home—and that’s okay! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes when you speak the new language. It’s part of learning. Also, be ready to try things you. ve never done before, like eating strange-looking food or joining a new game.
Exchange trips have many wonderful benefits. First, they help you learn a new language better. In your daily life, you have to use the language: talking to your host family, buying snacks at the store, or asking for directions. This is much more useful than just studying words in a classroom. You’ll get better at speaking and listening quickly.
Second, you’ll learn a lot about other cultures. You can eat local food (maybe spicy or sweet, different from yours!), watch how people celebrate festivals, or see how families live. This makes you understand that the world is full of different ways of life, and that’s interesting.
Third, you’ll become more independent. You might need to plan your own time, solve small problems (like forgetting your way home), or take care of yourself when you feel a little sad. Doing these things makes you stronger and more confident.
However, there are some things to pay attention to. One common challenge is culture shock. For example, local customs might be very different from what you’re used to—maybe people greet each other in a strange way, or food tastes completely new. To deal with this, it’s helpful to learn about the country’s culture before the trip. You can read books, watch videos, or talk to people who have been there. Keeping an open mind and trying to understand instead of judging will also make it easier to fit in.
Exchange trips are amazing experiences. They help you learn languages, know more about the world, and grow into a stronger person. With a little preparation, you’ll have a great time and make memories that last forever.

Culture shock is often described as feeling confused (困惑的) or nervous in a foreign place. It’s very common for international students.
Let’s take international students studying in the US for example. 17 This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to adapt (适应) to a different style of learning, such as taking a discussion-based class.
Many international students feel OK with the occasional (偶尔的) embarrassing mistakes at a restaurant or store, but they start to feel strong culture shock when they are often faced with some uncomfortable or unfamiliar situations. “Americans are very outspoken (坦率的) about everything,” said Chau, a student from Vietnam. “ 18 ”
“When I first came to America from China, it was hard for me to understand that Americans drink ice water all year round.” said Jessica, another student. “ It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks are closed on weekends. ” she added. “This is sometimes inconvenient for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.”
Getting adapted to social customs is just one part of adapting to life in America. If international students plan to get an internship (实习) when studying in the US, there is also the possibility for culture shock at work. 19
No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it. 20
A. Culture shock is the confused, strange or anxious feeling when traveling to a foreign country.
B. Stay positive, be social, know yourself and give yourself a break.
C. They may find culture shock experienced in the classroom harder to deal with.
D. For example, having a different professional dress rule, communicating in English by email.
E. I had a hard time adapting because sometimes I do not speak up about how I feel.
【答案】17. C 18. E 19. D 20. B
【解析】本文主要讲了文化冲击，并举了美国国际生的例子。
17. 根据下句“This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to adapt to a different style of learning, such as taking a discussion-based class.”可知，此处与学习风格及课堂沟通有关，C选项“他们可能会发现在课堂上经历的文化冲击更难应对”符合。故选C。
18. 根据上句“Americans are very outspoken about everything”可知与“outspoken坦率的”有关，E选项“我很难适应，因为有时我不会说出我的感受”符合。故选E。
19. 根据上句“there is also the possibility for culture shock at work”可知，此空和工作有关，D选项“例如，有不同的职业着装规则，通过电子邮件用英语交流”符合。故选D。
20. 根据上句“No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it.”可知，此空要给些建议，B选项“保持积极，社交，了解自己，让自己休息一下”符合。故选B。

Dear everyone,
I appreciate a lot that all you have given me during the past year. I have been here for a year, as you know that I am an exchange student. Everything is strange in the beginning. Thanks to my teachers and friends' help, I have learnt much. In the past year, I have been in the school club. I have learnt a lot from others. When I had problems, you always came to help me. And I have been to many places of interest such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Tian'anmen Square and so on. Also I have tasted the delicious food. China is a country with a long history, so I haven't missed learning about Chinese history and culture.
My experiences in China are limited. But I will never forget them, and I will always remember every one of you.
Thank you so much again.
Yours sincerely,
Mike
