①In ancient China, willow (柳树) branches (树枝) were often given as gifts between friends and family members. But do you know why willow branches became a symbol of saying goodbye
②One reason is that willow trees are strong and can grow in almost any type of soil, whether it’s wet or dry. Because of this, giving a willow branch to say goodbye shows you hope they will get used to their new living environment easily. Another reason is that “willow” sounds like “Liu” in Chinese. So giving it is like saying “________”, even though you know they have to leave.
③This tradition is said to have started during the Han Dynasty. At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an, was a popular place to say goodbye. People would often stop there and hand willow branches to those who were leaving. Willow branches are also often mentioned in poems. During the Tang and Song dynasties, when travel became easier, poets often wrote about the sadness of parting. For example, Wang Wei wrote in his poem, “The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.”
④From Han Dynasty bridges to modern airports, willow branches remind us how ancient Chinese wisdom turned nature into emotional text messages. Next time you see a willow tree, remember—its branches once carried more warm goodbyes than any smartphone emoji (表情符号)!

Nowadays, OpenAI company’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent (智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water!
Why does a computer programme need so much water In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI supercomputing centres lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centres can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500 ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.
Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources
Around the world, intelligent products are discussed heatedly. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may 76 many people.
The 77 for using much water When an AI has the ability of 78 like a man, it needs electricity and produces heat. As a result, water is used to keep the computers 79 .
A recent report by Microsoft From 2021 to 2022, the amount of the water used in cooling machines kept 80 . The training of the AI systems is the cause of it.
The analysis (分析) The amount of used water is ◇ connected with 81 where AI supercomputing centres are built. ◇ affected by the high 82 in these places. ◇ not the 83 all year round and changes with the seasons.
Advice ◇ Consider it as a 84 . ◇ Save the Earth’s water resources by having more 85 with humans.
七、短文填空

Have you ever seen pop-ups (弹出窗口) when you go online
These days it’s common for you to get a pop-up. It lets you 86 (put) the app in “teen mode (模式)” every time you begin to use apps. A lot of apps, especially video apps, have added this feature (功能) to protect teenagers. It’s said that it will bring teenagers 87 (good) experiences than before and make sure they’re using the apps in a healthier way. For example, some short video apps have the feature to stop teenagers from 88 (watch) videos for long and with the feature, they might only be allowed to watch for 40 minutes. The videos that teenagers can watch are ensured to be safe and even 89 (education). There are no advertisements and teenagers cannot pay any money 90 the videos. In QQ’s teen mode, teenagers can only talk to people on their contact lists. 91 (they) chat records show pinyin, which is useful for primary school students.
