“I have a cold. I’m supposed to be going away with a friend in 10 days but I’m worried I won’t be well enough. What do I do Should I tell her now or leave it and see what happens ”
A few years ago, this is the sort of question I would have taken to my mum or a friend. The sort of question where you’re pretty sure you know the answer but you just want a bit of reassurance. Today I sat with this question for a few minutes and then took it to ChatGPT. Because somehow that’s what I do now.
So far this month I have asked ChatGPT to advise on my workout plan, to get me out of a delaying habit, to analyze my Hinge (约会软件) profile, to write a presentation for me, to rewrite an email because I wasn’t sure of the wording, to find a piece of research I half remembered and to sense check a pitch I was doing. I’m sure there’s more but I’d have to ask ChatGPT for a full list because I don’t trust my memory.
I’ve been on a journey with AI but now I’m at the point where I allow it to be my first port of call whenever things are slightly uncomfortable, when I’m seeking reassurance. And it’s here I think the problem lies. ChatGPT has become my emotional regulator and just like that my life is easier but I’m also starting to lose my sense of clarity. Just as sailors stopped relying on the stars when radar became available, so I’ve stopped relying on my intuition now that a robot has stepped in.
You see, I knew the answer to most of the things I asked it this month but I wanted reassurance. And that feels bad. I don’t know if AI is making us lazy or stupid or dependent but I do know it’s making me less sure of myself. And I also know that I didn’t spend this long learning to listen to my own intuition rather than the demands of a patriarchal society, just to hand that wisdom over to a man-made robot.

A．She waited till the end. B．She asked her mum or a friend.
C．She looked online right away. D．She tried things on her own.
5. What did she use ChatGPT for this month
A．Tech problems and music. B．Trip planning and research paper.
C．Language learning and workout plan. D．Dating profile and presentation draft.
6. What does the underlined words “emotional regulator” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Controlling feelings. B．Improving logic. C．Storing memory. D．Processing data.
7. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 5
A．She feels less confident. B．She trusts her intuition more than AI.
C．She uses AI only for small things. D．She fears AI’s replacement of human advice.
C
Bees have incredibly fascinating lives. Now a new two-part documentary series, Secrets of the Bees, is offering an up-close look at the insects’ world and their remarkable intelligence. It premieres (首映) on National Geographic on March 31 at 8 p. m. It will arrive on Disney and Hulu the next day.
The series was filmed over three years, and a team of scientists and filmmakers worked in locations such as the Amazon jungle, an almond orchard in California, and a lab in Colorado. They also monitored 15 different hives (蜂巢). They captured never-before-seen footage (镜头) of how bees move, work, and communicate by using equipment such as tiny sensors and powerful close-up camera lenses. Because the footage is taken from a bee’s perspective, viewers will see how an ordinary daisy can look as tall as a skyscraper. The crew also used cameras that filmed up to 2,000 frames per second. Played slowly, the footage allows viewers to observe movements that are usually too fast for the human eye to see.
The series is narrated by award-winning wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory. One on-camera expert is National Geographic Explorer and entomologist, a scientist who studies insects. Dr. Samuel Ramsey, who also served as a scientific adviser to the show. He told The Week Junior that the goal of the series is to “take an organism that people feel like they know everything about, and then show them a different advantage point.”
In the show, Ramsey visits a lab and sees an experiment in which bees are given puzzles and balls. “I could see that bees have personality,” he said. “They play, and they even solve puzzles and pass that information on from bee to bee.” Ramsey said one of the most memorable scenes in the series shows bees dealing with a hornet (大黄蜂) that invades a hive. After surrounding the hornet, the bees vibrate to generate heat, killing the invader. “It’s incredible,” he said.
Ramsey hopes the viewers will be inspired by the insects, whose behavior in their colonies is similar to humans’; “There are a lot of individuals—they all have different jobs, ages, and companions, but they are all working together toward a common goal,” he said. “This documentary shows the importance of maintaining individuality and what can be achieved when you work together.”
8. What can be known about Secrets of the Bees
A．Bees have attractive lives. B．Bees have the highest intelligence.
C．We can further understand bees. D．We will see the series on March 31 on Disney.
9. What is the primary goal of the documentary series
A．To reveal the threats faced by bees.
B．To demonstrate the latest filming technologies.
C．To teach viewers how to increase bees’ populations.
D．To present a fresh and surprising perspective on bees.
10. What can be concluded from Ramsey’s description of bee behavior
A．It focuses on the biological structure of bees.
B．It highlights the intelligence and social nature of bees.
C．It compares the habitats of bees with that of other insects.
D．It warns about the decreasing number of bees worldwide.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Scientists’ Protection of Bees B．An Expert’s View on Bees
C．Challenges of Filming Bees in the Wild D．A Documentary Exploring Bees’ Intelligence

Hangzhou, the birthplace of cutting-edge companies such as DeepSeek and Unitree Robotics, announced the introduction of general artificial intelligence (AI) education in primary and secondary schools starting from this semester, with a minimum of 10 class hours per academic year.
The local education bureau also released two documents outlining curriculum (课程) plans. The guidelines are intended to shape AI education and cultivate future talent in the field.
According to the documents, schools can use a mix of teaching formats. They may teach the courses intensively in a certain week or integrate AI content into interdisciplinary (跨学科的) subjects such as information technology and science. Schools may also incorporate AI-themed projects into their local curricula, offering advanced knowledge and practical opportunities for students with interest in and demand for in-depth learning. Basic AI learning activities can also be arranged during after-school programs.
The documents also provide suggestions for learning content, requirements, and teaching approaches across different educational stages. In the first stage (grades 1-2), students will recognize common applications of AI in their school environment. They will engage in simple interactions with AI devices and develop awareness of AI’s role in daily life. Lessons will also emphasize responsible use, particularly the importance of protecting personal privacy. In the second stage (grades 3-4), students will use appropriate AI tools to gather text, images, and audio resources based on various tasks. With teachers’ support, they will design and produce simple projects that demonstrate their understanding of AI applications. During the third stage (grades 5-6), students will explore AI application scenarios and examine the basic structures of models such as decision trees and neural networks. They will also learn the core principles behind algorithms (算法).
As they progress to middle school, students will engage in hands-on activities covering the full AI workflow — from data preparation and model training to model inference. They will address real-world challenges using AI and critically evaluate generative AI.
In high school, students will undertake project-based initiatives to develop skills in designing AI systems and creating intelligent agents. This experience will strengthen their ability to apply AI effectively in everyday life.
12. What is required for schools’ AI education
A．Advanced AI projects. B．Interdisciplinary teaching.
C．No less than 10 class hours. D．Two curriculum documents.
13. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A．AI education is flexible in its delivery methods.
B．Schools must follow a fixed AI classes schedule.
C．All existing subjects are mixed with AI projects.
D．Few students with interest can enjoy AI activities.
14. What will middle school students do in AI learning
A．Using AI tools for tasks. B．Designing simple projects.
C．Protecting personal privacy. D．Experiencing the whole AI workflow.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A．The importance of after-school AI programs.
B．The cutting-edge AI companies based in Hangzhou.
C．The introduction of AI education in Hangzhou’s schools.
D．The detailed learning content for high school students.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I still remember the old house at the end of our street. Its yellow walls had faded over time, the gate creaked (嘎吱作响) whenever the wind blew, and the tiled (铺瓦的) roof looked as though it had not been repaired for years. An old woman named Betty lived there alone, and to us, she seemed distant and a little frightening.
My friends — Ethan and Andy — and I used to play in the street every afternoon. One day, our tennis ball accidentally fell into Betty’s garden. We waited for her to throw it back, but she never did. This happened several times, and each time, we lost another ball. Eventually, curiosity overcame fear. One evening, we climbed over the wall to fetch our balls. Just as we landed in the garden, we noticed long shadows stretching across the ground. When we looked up, we saw Betty standing silently at her door. We all ran away, too scared to stay any longer. After that, we avoided playing near her house.
A few days later, we saw a postman delivering a letter to Betty. She took it quickly and shut the gate without saying much. Curious, Andy stopped the postman and asked what the letter was. He explained that it was a birthday card sent by her insurance company. Ethan exclaimed in wonder, “How lonely it must feel to have no one remember your birthday.” Then Andy suggested that perhaps we could do something for her. I proposed that we bake a cake. At first, the idea seemed strange, but the thought of making and eating a cake quickly excited everyone.
We decided to bake the cake at Andy’s house because her mother was always patient with us, even when we made a mess. We each contributed some pocket money to buy ingredients. The baking process was far from perfect. We spilled flour, broke eggs clumsily, and argued over small things. In the end, we managed to produce a slightly uneven cake.
注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式作答。
Carrying the cake carefully, we walked toward Betty's house.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Betty returned, cut the cake, and gave each of us a slice.

Carrying the cake carefully, we walked toward Betty's house. Nervous but determined, we gathered up our courage and knocked on her door. No one answered. We waited patiently, afraid that our previous rude behavior had made her unwilling to meet us. After a while, we saw Betty walking back slowly from the street. Seeing us standing at her door with a cake in hand, she looked confused and surprised.
Betty returned, cut the cake, and gave each of us a slice. The cake tasted sweet and warm. We apologized sincerely for our previous fear and rudeness and wished her a happy birthday. Moved deeply, Betty wore a gentle smile and told us she had never expected such a special gift. From that day on, we no longer found her frightening. We often visited her in spare time and built a warm and lasting friendship.
