Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel lucky to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves.
One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She stopped to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story.
Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favourite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow.
Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir (合唱团) and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates.
Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful.
4. Why did Ms. Moore cry in the reading class

C．To introduce the classes and activities in her school.
D．To share her memory about her teacher, Ms. Moore.

To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but at first the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮挡) against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the eleventh century B. C.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.
By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colours.
8. Where was the umbrella probably first used according to the text
A．In ancient China. B．In ancient Greece.
C．In ancient Egypt. D．In ancient Rome.

C．When and how the umbrella was invented. D．Why the umbrella was so popular in Europe.

More American businesses are starting to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to come up with new ideas and to deal with customers.
Mattel is known for making children’s toys. The company recently used an AI image generator (生成器) called DALL-E to come up with ideas for new Hot Wheels toy cars. The used vehicle seller CarMax is using ChatGPT to gather thousands of customer comments. The social media service Snapchat has added a chatbot (聊天机器人) to its messaging service. And Instacart, a delivery service, now uses ChatGPT to answer food questions. Even the Coca-Cola company plans to use AI to help create new marketing content. It has not said exactly how it plans to use the technology. But the move shows that businesses are under pressure to use the tools that many of their employees and customers are already trying on their own.
Some experts warn that businesses should carefully consider possible harms to customers, society, and their own companies before choosing to use AI tools in the workplace. Chaire Leibowicz works at The Partnership on AI, a nonprofit group. The group recently released recommendations for companies producing AI-generated images, audio and other media. “I want people to think deeply before deploying this technology,” Leibowicz said. “They should play around... but we should also think, what purpose are these tools serving in the first place ”
While text generators like ChatGPT can make the process of writing emails and marketing documents faster and easier, they also appear to present misinformation as fact. And image generators like DALL-E are trained in copying widely available digital art and photography. This has raise copyright(版权) concerns from the creators of those works.
“It is safer to use AI tools as a ‘thought partner ‘but still people as the creator of final products.” said Anna Gressel. She works at the law company Debevoise & Plimpton, which advises businesses on how to use AI.
12. Which company made creative products with AI tools’ help

B．AI tools are widely used to help businesses grow.
C．People spend too much time on AI in their daily life.
D．AI tools have an influence on improving business conditions.
14. What does the underlined word “deploying” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Applying effectively. B．Improving successfully.
C．Debating freely. D．Presenting confidently.
15. What does Anna Gressel think of AI tools
A．They are useless. B．They can create more products.
C．They do serious harm to customers. D．They should just be humans’ assistants.

It was a hot day in the middle of July. I decided to walk to the neighbourhood store where it sold my favourite thing, ice cream. I pulled a friend towards the ice cream store, almost passing out from the burning sun on the way.
As we walked on, my friend kept saying that it was too hot. She thought that she was stupid to decide to come with me to buy ice cream. I felt sorry and tried to encourage her. “We’re almost there. Just think of the cool and sweet taste of ice cream in your mouth. It’ll be worth the walk,” I told her. But I had to admit that the store was quite far from our houses. During the journey, my mouth began to become dry and I wanted to drink.
When we were about a block away from the store, I noticed an old lady who was walking in our direction. She was about 70 years old. She had a big back problem, so she was unable to keep her back straight. She was struggling, pushing a shopping cart (购物车) full of things like the soap, bread and water. With each step towards her, we began to see her appearance more clearly. It appeared that she was often unhappy and easy to get angry.
I looked at my friend to see if she had noticed her. I could see that she had and that she disliked the old lady due to the lady’s appearance. As we approached the lady pushing the shopping cart, my friend directed me away from the old lady and the cart.
I began to observe other passers-by. They were also trying to avoid her. Suddenly I heard a loud sound behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was. I found the lady’s cart had been knocked over by something on the ground.
Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground.

Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground. The old lady bent down with difficulty, trying to pick up her things one by one. Her painful look made my heart ache. Many people passed by but no one stopped to give a hand. My friend hesitated for a moment after seeing the tough situation the old lady was in.
Then we quickly walked towards the lady. We knelt down and helped her collect the goods and put them back into the cart. The old lady thanked us again and again with a warm smile. We chatted with her for a while before saying goodbye. On our way to buy ice cream, we felt much cooler inside. I realized that kindness is the most beautiful thing in the hot summer.
