If you love history, you’re in luck! In the sections below, you will find information about four history museums in San Francisco.
Fire Department Museum
The Fire Department Museum takes you back through the history of the fire department. Not only will you learn about the department and some of its old firehouses, but you will also learn more about some of its infamous fires. Two of the fires covered here are those that broke out after the 1906 earthquake and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Both fires caused quite a bit of damage to the city.
Cable Car (缆车) Museum
One of the things that makes San Francisco unique is the fact that it is one of the few cities in the world that still uses cable cars. There are currently three cable car lines up and running. It’s easy to see a cable car on the street, but you can learn much more about them here.
California Academy of Sciences
This is where you will find the Kimball Natural History Museum. The museum follows the timeline of evolution (进化). Inside, you will learn about plate movements, see an 87-foot-long blue whale skeleton (骨架), and learn more about how our ancestors survived tough conditions.
Maritime (海事的) Museum
It tells the entire history of the waterfront in San Francisco. It shows details about important ships coming in and out of the San Francisco Bay as well as a timeline for all of the changes over the years. At the San Francisco Maritime Museum, you will also learn a little about the California Gold Rush and communications at sea. There are interactive activities as well as some movies and other hands-on learning displays.

Halloween is coming, and seeing everyone plan out their costumes got me thinking back to my childhood and the costumes I wore. As I grew older, I started having mixed feelings about Halloween. I still like Halloween, and always love a full pocket of candy, but it’s not the same excitement as when I was a kid. There’s just something about being a kid that made it so much better. And for me, that was something coordinated (搭配协调的) family costumes.
It went like this: My parents would pick a theme and have each of us dress accordingly. Most of our Halloween costumes, whether family-themed or solo (单独的), were homemade. Unfortunately, I didn’t always appreciate that. In second grade, I broke tradition by wanting to get a store-bought butterfly costume. I really liked that costume; it was fun to wear. But looking back on it now, I loved our homemade costumes so much more because those costumes were memorable and made with love. Being dressed up all together and having that shared experience really strengthened our family connection and made Halloween something to look forward to.
Recalling my experiences, I wondered if other families did the same. I decided to look around on some popular Halloween store websites to see if they had specific collections of family costumes. On Spirit Halloween’s website, there was a group and family costume section, so that was a good sign. Also, Party City had a very large collection of family Halloween costumes, which made me even more hopeful. To confirm, I called the local Party City and asked if the staff had observed families buying costumes together. To my delight, the manager said yes! She noticed that families buy them costumes every year.
Whether it’s homemade or store-bought, it’s good to know family Halloween costumes aren’t dying. Although the days of coordinated family costumes for me have passed, the memories of those fun times will last forever.

The rapid emergence of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT has prompted widespread debate about their impact on education. While some teachers worry that such technology may weaken students’ writing abilities, others argue that it presents an opportunity to rethink how critical thinking and effective writing are taught in middle and high school classrooms.
AI tools can generate fluent text within seconds, raising concerns about accuracy and originality. Because these systems are trained on vast amounts of online material, their responses may contain errors, oversimplifications, or hidden biases. Rather than banning such tools, some educators suggest using them as objects of analysis. By examining AI-generated responses carefully, students can practice identifying inconsistencies, questioning claims, and confirming information against reliable sources.
Another concern is that AI reflects the material it is trained on. Voices and perspectives that are underrepresented online may be further marginalised (使处于边缘) through repeated use of automated tools. This limitation offers a teaching moment. When students compare multiple AI responses on related topics, they can begin to recognise patterns of omission (遗漏) and bias, strengthening their awareness of how information systems shape knowledge.
AI-generated writing also differs noticeably from human writing. Although grammatically sound. it often lacks a distinctive voice, emotional depth, or original insight. Classroom activities that ask students to distinguish between human and machine-produced text can sharpen their sensitivity to subtle differences and expression, encouraging more thoughtful writing.
Some teachers respond by designing assignments that rely on personal experience or unique sources. Tasks such as interviews, first-person accounts, or comparisons of uncommon text require synthesis that automated tools cannot easily provide. Similarly, drawing on classroom discussion as a reference point encourages students to engage actively and treat shared dialogue as part of the learning process.
Ultimately, the challenge posed by AI is not purely technological but educational. Writing remains a tool for developing reasoning, judgment, and communication. As AI becomes more common, these skills grow more valuable rather than less. Instead of resisting change, educators are increasingly focused on guiding students to use new tools critically, thoughtfully, and responsibly.
8. How do educators react to AI tools like ChatGPT
A．They hold mixed views.
B．They all welcome it warmly.
C．They find it improves accuracy.
D．They see it as a source of insight.
9. What is a suggested educational use of AI-generated text
A．Letting students copy it directly.
B．Making it a major research source.
C．Having students analyze it critically.
D．Training students to imitate its style.
10. What does the underlined word “synthesis” in paragraph 5 most likely mean
A．Summarizing AI reports.
B．Combining different sources.
C．Simplifying complex text.
D．Telling human writing from AI writing.
11. What is the author’s main point about AI in education
A．Schools should ban AI tools.
B．Human thinking loses value.
C．Guide students to use AI wisely.
D．AI makes writing classes needless.

Even when she was a child, Alice Lovatt was often late. She missed meetings, arrived late to school, and felt embarrassed when she kept people waiting. Being late made her feel worried and stressed every day. Alice says she never felt time moving in her head. She did not understand how fast minutes passed. When she was 22 years old, she learned the reason. She was diagnosed with ADHD, a condition that can affect attention and planning. One symptom of ADHD is called time blindness.
Time blindness means a person has trouble knowing how long something will take or how much time has passed. A task that feels short may actually take much longer. This problem comes from how the brain manages planning and control. Experts say that many people with ADHD experience time blindness. This does not mean they are lazy or rude. It means their brains work differently. Time blindness can affect school, work, family life, and friendships.
However, not everyone who is late has ADHD. Some people are late for other reasons. For example, some people feel nervous if they arrive early and have to make small talk. Others feel they have little free time, so they delay leaving as a way to feel more in control.
One therapist suggests using a small card to help change thinking. On the card, a person can write a helpful thought and a reminder of what will happen if they are late. Reading this card can help people make better choices. Some people are late because they feel their time is more important than others. These people often show the same behavior in other ways, such as ignoring rules or wanting attention.
Experts say that no matter the reason, people are still responsible for being on time. The good news is that many tools that can help people with ADHD can also work for all late-arrivers. Using alarms or smartwatches can remind people when to leave. Having clocks around the house helps too. Breaking tasks into small steps also makes time easier to understand.
12. Which of the following best describes “time blindness”
A．Being lazy.
B．Ignoring rules.
C．Feeling nervous.
D．Losing perception of time.
13. Why might some people be late without ADHD
A．They have brain differences.
B．They are careless about others.
C．They possess no clocks or alarms.
D．They feel nervous or seek control.
14. What is the purpose of the card suggested by the therapist
A．To guide choices.
B．To replace alarms.
C．To encourage rule-breaking.
D．To prove lateness is intentional.
15. What is experts’ attitude toward being late
A．Opposed.
B．Objective.
C．Positive.
D．Sympathetic.

Ladies and gentlemen,
It’s my great honor to deliver a speech on promoting traditional Chinese culture creatively.
Traditional culture is our spiritual treasure, representing our history and national identity. It’s our duty to pass it down from generation to generation.
We can spread it in creative ways. We may combine ancient culture with short videos, cartoons and online performances. Besides, we can design cultural-themed creative goods to attract young people.
Let’s take action right now. We should learn traditional culture well and introduce it to people around us.
Thank you!
Yours,
Li Hua
