Color Explosion (July 28-August 1)
This camp introduces kids to the bold pop-art movement and other ways in which vibrant colors can be used in artwork. Kids will create projects that play with the use of colors, for example, vivid tie-dye patterns in pastel and super-sized crayons in paper mache.
Animals & Wildlife Art (August 4-8)
This week of camp is like taking a trip to the zoo, but so much more creative! Explore the exciting world of animals and their amazing habitats. Kids will create projects such as undersea turtles in watercolor, tropical tree frogs in pastel, and dog and cat collages.

My wife isn’t a cat person. So when our daughter Flora started asking for a cat several years ago, my wife politely refused her requests and we didn’t give it a second thought. Flora, though shares some of my wife’s persistence, so she continued to ask for a cat repeatedly for several years.
Then a couple of things happened that made us take a closer look at things. When we went to Flora’s parent-teacher conferences, the teacher first handed us an essay about how my daughter wanted a cat, and then an imaginary story about where she would like to go on vacation: Catville.
It was then that my wife and I came to the realization that our daughter wasn’t just messing around here. And it was time for us to break down. But before we brought our new cat home, my wife sternly warned us that she was not going to be the one to take care of or clean up after the cat. Flora was going to take full responsibility. Fine, my daughter said.
We welcomed our mini family member into the house right around Christmas. We named her Goldy. When we got her, she peed everywhere. But other than that, she was perfect. My tough-talking wife gradually fell in love with Goldy. And Goldy fell in love with her. Of course, it’s not just my wife who loves Goldy. We all do.
There are so many things about that cat that absolutely brighten our life, highlighted by how she nearly bursts with affection (喜爱) when we come home or wake up in the morning. From the moment Goldy came into our house, it seemed unreasonable that we didn’t have a cat before then.
We should have settled down to the decision much earlier.

A．The author’s promise.
B．The teacher’s advice.

While AI’s influence on various industries like healthcare is widely discussed, the legal profession has received less attention. In fact, the business of law is well-positioned to achieve the highest ROI (投资回报率) from using AI.
Law firms (公司) are seen as traditional but most have used machine learning for years. In the business of law, AI-driven time and cost savings are typically very high. The benefits have led to the appearance of a new type of law firm-AI-centric (aka AI-native) law firms. Staff (全体职工) and lawyers at AI-native firms make the most of AI for various tasks such as research. AI-native law firms also use AI to service customers who require personalized treatment.
Every day, junior associates (初级律师) need to work fast and correctly, yet never miss anything important. The work can tire them, leading to mistakes. AI can do in seconds what takes days for a junior associate. Speed gives AI a great role in the legal field, with ROI well beyond the “traditional” 10 to 20 percent. AI-centric firms can grow without increasing the support staff. Wherever AI reduces costs, it frees up funds for marketing development. AI makes marketing communications faster and easier for law firms, as it does for other businesses.
AI’s positive effect on work satisfaction is often underappreciated. According to a 2023 Thomson Reuters survey, lawyers at AI-native firms often send repetitive tasks to AI. Support staff and junior associates become, in effect, supervisors (监督人) of AI. This truly improves work satisfaction.
Are law firms jumping on board and going AI-native in large numbers Surprisingly the answer is no. According to another survey 60% had no plans to use AI. That’s good news for the other 40%. The legal profession is among the industries achieving the best ROI from the use of AI. Law firms should “get it” and enjoy greater growth and profitability.
8. What makes the new kind of law firm special
A．The high ROI.
B．The effective use of AI.
C．Focusing on AI cheating cases.
D．Providing personalized treatment.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Why AI is helpful to law firms.
B．What high ROI means to law firms.
C．When AI will take over traditional law firms.
D．How law firms deal with marketing challenges.
10. What did the Thomson Reuters survey find
A．The legal profession often has high profitability.
B．Support staff are very important to a law firm.
C．AI contributes to increasing job satisfaction.
D．Law firms are leading in using AI.
11. Which of the following will the author probably agree with
A．It’s time for law firms to go all in on AI.
B．Safety is the major concern for law firms.
C．AI technology should grow alongside the law.
D．Law firm can be new and old at the same time.
D
People pursuing perfection and those valuing being on time often don’t see eye to eye in the workplace. But according to a recent study, it is better to deliver a good-enough project on schedule rather than perfecting it through procrastination.
Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. and U.K., including managers and others whose jobs included evaluating others. They presented participants with the same examples of work, and then asked them to rate it. But first, they mentioned whether it was either submitted (提交) early, right at the deadline or late.
Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. The study also found there wasn’t much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted before and at the deadline as the same quality. Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively and that remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning.
A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the version submitted after the deadline received lower grades. That study made the broader point that it didn’t really matter who set the deadline. In the eyes of the evaluator, any miss was a meaningful miss.
However, the reason behind the missed deadline mattered, researchers found. If it was due to forces beyond an employee’s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. “That seems to be one of the few instances in which people cut you a break.”
12. What is the author’s attitude to on-time good-enough work
A．Opposed.
B．Neutral.
C．Favorable.
D．Indifferent.
13. What can be concluded from the research result
A．Submitting work early means much in evaluations.
B．Late work is judged more negatively than on-time submissions.
C．Pre-communicated delays lead to positive evaluations.
D．Minimal delays get better evaluations than long delays.
14. What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China
A．The art itself rather than other details counts.
B．A peer-to-peer evaluation can be an informative tool.
C．Kids tend to judge submissions more objectively.
D．The research finding holds true across age and culture.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A．Gratitude: Teaching Kids the Skill
B．Hand In Work On Time Rather Than Seek Perfection
C．Holiday Gratitude: Why It Matters Much
D．Gratitude: A Family’s Daily Story

Within weeks of chatbots’ launch, ChatGPT kicked off a new global race in artificial intelligence.
The chatbots are part of a fresh wave of so-called generative AI — sophisticated systems that produce content from texts to images. However, one key lesson concerning AI chatbots is to change (or lower) our expectations. ____16____
Don’t use chatbots for factual answers
Google and Wikipedia aren’t perfect, but they’re good enough for reliable factual information most of the time. ____17____ It might be correct or surprisingly wrong. And if the chatbot doesn’t know the answer, it might invent a reasonable-sounding answer.
____18____
When you are planning a birthday party, you can type into ChatGPT for help with the invitation. AI had sucked up a bunch of children’s party invitations from the internet. You can have a glimpse at what all those party-throwing parents had done before.
Do know what chatbots are best at
Chatbots can be amazing at explaining complicated topics like cryptocurrency (加密电子货币) as though you’re 5 years old. To understand this strength, it helps to know that the software has been fed data from Reddit, including a forum called “Explain Like I’m Five.” ____19____ That makes ChatGPT good at personalized recipe planning. Again, you should treat ChatGPT less as a reliable cookbook and more as a meal-planning brainstorming partner.
Don’t get frustrated and give up
____20____ The five minutes of travel planning with ChatGPT could have popped up some ideas for you to research further.
A．Don’t ask a chatbot once and stop.
B．Do use chatbots to help you brainstorm.
