Good manners show one’s personal quality. When we talk or work with others, polite acts help us get along well. Today more students take trips or join international activities. If we learn different polite rules in other countries, we can act properly and show good manners.

When they meet new people, they shake hands to greet each other. They also keep proper space and do not touch others while talking.
In Japan People in Japan usually bow to say hello. They always use soft and polite words when they talk. One important rule is to take off shoes before entering others’ rooms. All people follow this rule every day.
In Thailand People in Thailand put their hands together and bow to greet friends. Local people think the head is very important. So it is rude to touch others’ heads at any time.

What do you do with clothes you don’t want to wear any more You may donate them or give them to other people. What happens next Where do these clothes end up
It’s reported that 92 million tons of clothes end up in landfills every year. This means that every second a truck full of clothes arrives at a landfill. Sadly, the beaches of Ghana, a country in West Africa, are one of these places. Now, the beaches are covered with clothing waste.
People from all over the world donate clothes to charities. However, charity shops only sell up to 20 percent of donated clothes. The unsold clothes are then put in large bags and travel to other countries to be sold again or treated as waste.
The Kantamanto market in Accra, the capital of Ghana, is one of the world’s largest secondhand clothing markets. Every week, 20 million pieces of clothing arrive at Kantamanto. But about 40 percent of them leave the market as waste.
Workers either burn the waste or put it underground. However, the city is near the sea, so there’s not enough space for landfills. This is why a lot of clothing waste ends up on the beach. As it goes into the sea, fish and other sea life are in danger. Sea turtles can’t get to land, and fish can’t grow because they may get caught in the clothes.
“The waste is also hurting the economy,” Ernest Ijawan, a worker at a landfill in Ghana, told Forbes. Fishermen can’t catch as many fish as before since most of the things they catch are clothes.
According to another survey, many fast fashion clothes are worn only 7 to 10 times, and then they are thrown away. Around 15 years ago, this number was 10 to 15 times. People may not have realized that our clothes can be bad for the environment. But that’s the fact. So please think twice before we buy clothes or throw them away.
38. The writer starts the topic by ________.
A．listing numbers
B．telling stories
C．giving examples
D．asking questions
39. How did a piece of old clothing in Ghana end up on the beach
①Nobody bought it. ②There was no place for landfills.
③The person donated it to a charity. ④It was treated as waste.
⑤It was put in a charity shop.
A．⑤③①④②
B．⑤②④③①
C．③⑤①④②
D．③⑤②④①
40. What does the underlined word “the fact” refer to
A．Fast fashion clothes cost too much money.
B．Our clothes are bad for people’s health.
C．People buy more clothes than they really need.
D．Clothing waste is harming the environment.
41. What’s the main idea of the passage
A．The harm our clothing waste does to the environment.
B．The ways to deal with the clothes we don’t want to wear.
C．The reasons why there is so much clothing waste.
D．The introduction of the second-hand clothing market.
D
These days, artificial intelligence (AI) is developing very fast. It has become an important part of modern technology and greatly changed people’s daily life. OpenAI has recently introduced its new AI model, GPT-5. It has been over two years since GPT-4 came out in 2023. Many big companies put much money into AI research and push the technology forward.
As AI technology becomes more and more popular, people hold different ideas about this new AI tool. Most people feel excited about its powerful ability to help with study, work and other problems.

Before GPT-5 came out, other tech firms also produced new AI chatbots. Microsoft works closely with OpenAI and will add GPT-5 to its own AI tool for public use.
OpenAI has improved the safety of GPT-5 greatly. It gives no harmful answers and is hard to be tricked. GPT-5 does not bring huge changes right now, but its new technology may change our life in the future.
OpenAI was set up in 2015. Today it is among the world’s most valuable tech companies, though it has not made money so far.
42. What is AGI according to the passage

At once I realized that the ship’s crew were pirates. They planned to take the treasure!

I ran over to Dr. Livesey and Captain Smollett. I told them everything. Captain Smollett came over with a map in his hand. Silver was disappointed. He found that it wasn’t Captain Flint’s map, but another map which didn’t tell the place of the treasure.
The next morning, Silver had to sail the ship to the place where the map showed. Captain Smollett decided to let the crew get off the ship. Thirteen crew members including Silver decided to leave at once. At the last moment, I also jumped into one of the boats.
“Jim! Jim!” Silver shouted angrily from the second boat. As soon as I was under the trees, I caught a branch and threw myself out and jumped into the nearest bushes. I ran as fast and far as I could through the bushes until I could run no more. How lucky I was to get away from Silver!

Live a warm and green life
Hello, everyone! Today I’d like to share how to live a warm and green life.
First, we should follow good manners in daily life. We must wait in line in public and keep quiet in libraries to show respect to others. Second, develop green living habits. We can save water by turning off taps in time and choose reusable bags instead of plastic ones when shopping. What’s more, take part in volunteer work to pass warmth. We can help the elderly carry heavy things or pick up rubbish in the community.
These small acts can bring great changes to our world. Let’s start with small things and make a difference!
