Archaeology Camp
Each summer, the Public Archaeology Facility’s Community Archaeology Program offers a week - long program focused on archaeology for kids entering Grades 5 and 6. The program is taught by professional archaeologists from Binghamton University. Students will learn about the science of archaeology through hands-on, interactive classroom projects, laboratory tours, outdoor activities, and a visit to a local archaeological site.
Our 2023 Research Site is the Whitney Point Bridge site. Broome County, New York. Dates: July 13-17, 2023

Participants will spend the first two days of the program learning about ancient cultures, archaeological concepts, and practicing fieldwork techniques, and artifact(人工制品) classification and preservation. Kids will take part in exciting activities in experimental and creative archaeology, including pottery ( 陶器)
construction and a cross-country race.
On the third and fourth days, participants will explore local historic sites long-covered by plants and learn how archaeologists survey sites using direct measurements, digital cameras, careful notes, and hand-held GPS units. This trip will also provide an opportunity to learn more about the environment in which these sites were created.
On the last day, the program will travel to a local historically significant archaeological site currently being excavated ( 挖掘) by the Public Archaeology Facility where students will observe professional excavations.Participants will be able to assist in some of the tasks at the site, including screening (筛查;甄别)
for artifacts, note-taking, and site interpretation.

A rescue operation is underway to save a lone owl after its family were wiped out by rat poison. The lone owl — a female named Daisy, who’s just months old and lives in a tree in Philippe Park — is now without her parents to teach her how to survive.
Daisy’s dad Oliver has been nesting at the park for the last eight years, but on Friday he was found dead.
Wildlife groups believe it died from eating a rat that had consumed rat poison.
“Owls aren’t breaking into the traps themselves, but they’re eating the rats after the rats consume the poison. The rats move slowly. They look like an easy meal, and we end up with situations like this,” the board secretary of Birds in Helping Hands, Fairl Thomas said.
In March, the mom owl named Emily was found dead in the bay along with one of her three chicks.
Both deaths were caused by rat poison. Weeks later, another chick was found dead.
“It’s a completely senseless tragedy (悲剧), completely preventable,” expert Kim Begay said. “There is
absolutely no reason why it should have happened.”
After the first owl death in March, Birds in Helping Hands convinced the City of Safety Harbor to stop placing rat boxes in their city parks. The city now plans to educate the local community by placing these informational handbooks in their water and electricity bills’ boxes next month encouraging residents to stop using certain rat poison.
As for Daisy, volunteers have been watching her around the clock. Traps are set with live rats in hopes of catching her soon. Once rescued, she’ll be taken to the Raptor Center of Tampa Bay to learn how to hunt from an adult great-horned owl in hopes of eventually letting her go back to the wild.
What is the likely cause of Oliver’s death
Old age. B. Lack of food.
C. Poisoned rats. D. Breaking into a trap.
What can we infer about the dead owls from Begay’s words
They died from human attacks. B. They died for unknown reasons.
C. Their deaths serve as a warning. D. Their deaths should have been avoided.
What is Paragraph 6 mainly about
The problems. B. The reasons.
C. The solutions. D. The expectations.
What is the final purpose of the rescue operation
To offer Daisy enough food. B. To help Daisy live independently.
C. To provide Daisy with a new nest. D. To help Daisy find new parents.
C
Although we all experience failure in our lives, we don’t all react to it in the same way. An interesting research has emphasized the idea that there are some people who embrace challenges and disappointments as opportunities to re-focus their thinking. These are people with a growth mindset. Then, there are other people who see failure as a complete failure. They believe that they never had the talent anyway, and they probably never will. These are people with a fixed mindset.
Psychologist Dweck has studied these mindsets and provided evidence that most people intentionally place themselves in one of those two groups. The group to which you assign yourself frequently determines how you react to challenges. If you experience failure and give up, you have conveniently assigned yourself to the fixed group. If you experience failure and regard it as a stepping stone, then you have placed yourself into the growth group.
According to the research, people in the growth group tend to generate more creative ideas than those in the fixed group. To illustrate, consider Thomas Edison. In the 19th century, Edison attempted to improve the light bulb and experimented with numerous materials. Over a thousand trials, he managed to discover an element sustaining light. A reporter once asked him,“It seems as though you’ve tried many times and continue to fail each time. Why is that ”Edison answered,“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10, 000 ways that won’t work.”
In studies of creative people, psychologists discovered that a distinguishing feature separating them from the non-creative is that they make lots of mistakes and continue to work through them. Most people consider success and failure as polar opposites. In reality, they are both parts of the same process.
What might people with a growth mindset agree with
Challenges are welcomed. B. Mistakes can be avoided.
C.Success is due to good luck. D. Only talent leads to success.
What does the underlined phrase “a stepping stone” in paragraph 2 refer to
A road to nowhere.
A challenge in the way.
An outcome to expect.
A chance to advance.
Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in paragraph 3
To make a prediction. B. To present a fact.
C.To support a viewpoint. D.To clarify (阐明)a principle.
What is the main idea of the text
How people interpret failure often determines their creative output.
Learning from success plays an important part in improving creativity.
Growth mindset people see challenges differently from fixed mindset ones.
Which group people put themselves in decides how they react to challenges.
D
ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
“We have a lot of information on the internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
What is the unique feature of ChatGPT
It has artificial intelligence. B. It can answer users’ questions.
C. It has the largest number of users. D. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics
Its accurate information. B. Its vast body of questions.
C. Its ability of information processing. D. Its availability of up-to-date data.
Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it
A . ChatGPT lacks creativity. B. ChatGPT is unable to think itself.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information. D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT
Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Objective D. Intolerant.

Lei Feng’s Spirit Shines Forever
It’s the 60thanniversary of learning from Lei Feng. The spirit of Lei Feng, which is of great
significance to building a harmonious society, is the inheritance of China’s excellent traditional culture, embodying socialist core values.
Our school has carried out colorful activities, educating students to learn from Lei Feng. On March 5th a speech contest was held, aimed to strengthen students’ awareness of following Lei
Feng’s example. Later each class had a theme class meeting, encouraging students to do good deeds. We actively responded with various hands-on actions, such as collecting street garbage, helping the old cross the street, and delivering love and care to those in need, etc.
It’s our responsibility to carry forward Lei Feng’s spirit. Let’s make joint efforts, passing it down generation by generation.

M: Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to. I’m supposed to train our new workers over the next two weeks, so I am not going to have time to do anything else. You can’t do it all on your own
W: I probably can, but it is a very important project. I’m hoping to get it done by the deadline for sure.
M: Then, you should tell Mr. Cortez and see if you can get help from him. He’s a very generous co-worker, so I think he would be happy to help you a bit if you can’t do it on your own.

W: Good morning. Welcome to Science World. Today we’re talking about direction. Some people never get lost, while others need a GPS just to find their way to the store! And, of course, a GPS is not always accurate.
M: Definitely. Everyone has a story about following a GPS route and ending up in the middle of a field! But, why are some people so much better at finding their way than others Are they born with that skill
W: Not necessarily. Scientists say people who have a good sense of direction probably pay more attention to what’s around them. They notice more details. A lot of people don’t pay attention at all. If you’re thinking about something else while you’re walking, of course you’re more likely to get lost.
M: Hmm. I guess we do use things we see to help us find places. I remember there was a tree at the corner of a street where my friend lived. One day, the tree was gone, and I couldn’t find the street. I was completely lost! I was using the tree as a visual clue, even though I didn’t know it.
W: Yes, I’ve experienced something similar to that. Well, one day …

M: Hello everyone. My name is Alan. On behalf of Medi Travel I’d like to welcome you all to Ibiza, where fun is as certain as death and taxes. I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy your
stay here in Ibiza. This is a beautiful, exciting city where you can relax and sit by the beach or enjoy some of the best clubs in Europe. You can walk into town and enjoy the local shops and restaurants or take a moonlit walk along the water if you prefer some peace and quiet. We’re going to be pulling up to the Marina Hotel in just a few minutes. Please sit back and enjoy the view of the ocean on the right hand side of the bus as we go over the bridge. I kindly ask that you remain in your seats and do not eat or drink on the bus. Manuel will be meeting us at the entrance to give you a warm welcome and help you with your bags. Please make sure your bag has been taken off the bus. I wish you all a wonderful vacation in Ibiza and I hope to see you around the great place.
