11． Many say artificial intelligence is the biggest invention since the Internet.The Sudden rise of large language models like ChatGPT has fueled the hype（大肆宣傳） to a higher level- AI will be the common language the world speaks and humans can build the Tower of Babel again.With the technology in hand，it seems spending thousands of hours to master a different tongue is simply a waste of time.
Duolingo's co-founder and CEO Luis von Ahn has a different opinion.He said it's still worthwhile for people to learn new language despite the rapid advancement of AI powered translation technology in the past decade. "Computers are better than humans playing chess And there are more people playing chess now than there's ever been， " said von Ahn. "People Just want to do certain things even if computers are good at it"
According to Duolingo's research，the majority language learners agreed learning a new language could make travelling a better experience and more fun，and 80 percent think learning new languages will inspire them to be travelers with an adventurous spirit.
Luis von Ahn co-founded Duolingo in 2011，which offers customized learning exercises，immediate feedback and gamification（游戲化）.The platform provides equal access with over 40 languages to everyone who wants to learn.Last year，the company even rolled out sessions for its first dialect language- Cantonese.The app attracted many Mandarin learners as well.Their primary motivation to try the language was for "intellectual（智力的）development"，according to the company.
Duolingo has applied AI technology to the language learning platform since day one.With a powerful AI tool，it can provide conversations based on previous exchanges with the user to make language learning more natural.The AI can understand the sentences and react to the input from learners to keep the conversation going.
The goal for the language learning app for von Ahn himself，is to operate on par with a human tutor.He said Duolingo is already as effective as study in a classroom. "I think with AI，we're getting closer and closer to being as good as a one-to-one human tutor." he said.
（1）The author writes the underlined part in paragraph 1 to show that many people believe.
A.learning a second language is significant to humans
B.AI should not be used as a common language for humans
C.it is unnecessary for humans to learn different languages
D.humans are powerful enough to master different languages
（2）Why do people want to learn a new language according to Duolingo's CEO and research？
A.Out of human nature
B.Out of pressure of travelling
C.Thanks to human's increasing intelligence
D.Thanks to the advancement of AI technology
（3）What does the underlined phrase "on par with" in paragraph 6 mean？
A.together with
B.instead of
C.specially for
D.as well as
（4）What is the best title of this text？
A.People learn languages to enrich their life，not ruin it
B.Duolingo uses AI to help language learning，not kill it

12．Growing up，I was often the first Jewish person my classmates had ever met.I lived in Mississauga，Ontario，and was the only Jewish student in my grade—sometimes the only one in the whole school.This difference set me apart.
Every September，I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know.The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.I flatted that my teachers would label me the "Jewish kid".
The real trouble always came as the local new year's festival approached.I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah，not this festival.At school，on one day before the winter break，every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival.However，the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel，Dreidel，Dreidel，a Jewish festival song，and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks.As my friends counted down the days until the festival，I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.
Each year during primary school，my mother would coordinate（協調）with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah.She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age.Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols.The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions.After my mom left，I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.
My mom's annual visits to my school sparked（激發）interest from other parents as well.Over the years，we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.

13．Twice every month，Miranda Sam，a 66-year-old Ghanaian，visited the China Traditional Herbal Hospital，a private herbal facility at Pokuase，a suburb of the Ghanaian capital，for treatment.
"I was squeezing lemons，and when I finished，I could not get up or even move my legs，so I went to the hospital and did an X-ray examination，but they saw nothing.Meanwhile，I could not walk and was in a wheelchair，" the retired worker said.Hence Miranda decided to visit the herbal facility. "On two occasions，I had to do acupuncture （針灸），and I have found great relief.Now I walk unaided，so I keep coming for treatment，" she said.
As Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） is gaining popularity in Ghana，many acupuncture clinics run by Chinese doctors pop up in the country.However，the China Traditional Herbal Hospital was established by 52-year-old Ghanaian business owner Bediako，after his fruitful encounter with the effects of TCM in 2012.With the help of a Chinese lady，Bediako set up a small clinic specializing in TCM.Years on，the facility has subsequently grown into a bigger herbal hospital.The hospital treats patients with a combination of local and Chinese herbal formulas.It supports this with the application of traditional Chinese medical methods.
Strokes （中風） account for 1.3 percent of all hospital admissions in Ghana，and 6.3 percent of all hospital deaths.But Bediako is confident that as more people with these conditions turn to the natural methods of healing，the pain and death rates would subside. "A gentleman was brought here three weeks ago，who could not sit，stand，or walk.He was first taken through acupuncture.I observed him on camera 30 minutes later，squatting （蹲），standing，and walking.You come here with your pain but will leave with a smile.That is our feature，" he said.
The hospital has started a second facility in Ashaiman near the capital，with plans to open other branches across the country to meet the growing demand.

14．ChatGPT，launched in November，2022，has attracted over 100 million monthly users in just two months，which is considered the fastest-growing consumer app. （1）
ChatGPT can write emails，computer code，even academic papers and poems. （2）With various functions，it is suspected to do no good to multiple areas，above all the higher education.
So is ChatGPT a benefit or a trouble？
（3）Some universities have banned it due to the warning that it could prompt more students to cheat，especially in exams. （4）Andreas Schleicher，director of education and skills of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development，for instance，said he welcomes ChatGPT because "it gives people a chance" to concentrate less on tasks that technology can perform equally well.
According to a survey covering more than 100 educators and over 1，000 students，one-third of the educators said they believe ChatGPT should be banned in schools and universities，while the rest supported students having access to it.The attitude of most students sees a distinct difference.（5）
As a result，the observed value and usefulness of ChatGPT seem to outweigh the risks.What we should focus on has shifted to better deal with the chatbot and its development.A．They admitted having sought help from ChatGPT to complete their homework.
B．The worry is that ChatGPT could change the basic training structure of higher education.
C．By comparison，others regard it as a blessing rather than a curse.

"Happy New Year，papa!"The sitting-room doors were thrown open，and a sweet little girl flashed in.Smiles played around her cherry lips，and her eyes were dancing with sunny light.
"Happy New Year，my sweet one!"responded Mr.Edgar. "May all your New Years be happy，"he added，and with a blessing in his heart.
Little Ellen laid her head against her father's breast.To her it was a Happy New Year's morning，but it was not so with Mr.Edgar，a successful businessman.He was tired of the plot in the business world.He was not happy at all! "For years，"he said to himself，"I have been pursuing the means of happiness，yet happiness itself seems to be still farther in the distance.""Why am I not happy？"But the answer was not given.
After breakfast，Mr.Edgar left home and went to his company.On his way，he noticed a lovely child around the same age as his daughter playing in the yard.Her beauty，which had in it something of innocence （天真），impressed him so deeply that he turned to gain a second look.With the girl was a father and he happened to be Abraham James，who owed（欠） money to Mr.Edgar from their business dealings.Abraham couldn't meet his responsibilities to Mr.Edgar，and as a result，Mr.Edgar said some unkind words.Mr.Edgar had an appointment with a lawyer（律師） today，preparing to charge him and ask for money he was owed.While the money wasn't a significant amount for Mr.Edgar，it meant a lot to Abraham James，who planned to sell his house to come up with the money.
As Mr.Edgar continued on his way，he couldn't forget the cheerful face of the child.Suddenly，he remembered his own daughter's smiling face and sweet morning greeting.He thought，"She must also wish her Daddy a happy New Year.If her Dad isn't happy，will she still wear that innocent smile on her face？"He seemed to have found the way to be happy.
