Once upon a time, a teacher and his student lay down under a big tree near a big grass area. Then suddenly the student asked the teacher, “Teacher, I wonder how I can find my good friend. Could you please help me ”
Silent for a few seconds, the teacher then answered, “Well, it’s a pretty hard and an easy question.” “Look that way, there is a lot of grass, why don’t you walk there Please don’t walk back-wards, just walk straight ahead.

Games From Your Childhood You Can Still Play
Hide-and-seek Hide-and-seek is a popular children’s game in which at least two players play together. Everyone will gather at a central point in the beginning. One of them will be the seeker（寻找者）, and the others will have to find a place to hide. When the time is up, the seeker will look around for the other players. The one who stays hidden the longest will be the winner.
Marble A marble is a small ball often made of glass. These balls are in different sizes. They are often collected, both for nostalgia（怀旧）and for their beautiful colors. Players often use their fingers to “shoot” one marble to hit the competitor’s marble and can get it if it is hit.
Rock paper scissors Rock paper scissors is a common hand game. Players form one of three shapes with a hand at the same time. These shapes are just like “rock”, “paper” and “scissors”. Normally, one player wins at the end by beating all players with the right shape.

Most people want to be happy; but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon our-selves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures; such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
51. The best title of the passage is ________.

B. we shouldn’t think about our future
C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life
D. some people fail to live a happy life

54. The writer thinks that ________.

The company OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world. It is the latest type of AI chatboxes（聊天室）. A chatbox is a computer program that uses AI（artificial intelligence）to simulate（模仿）conversations with users. Anyone can use ChatGPT for free now, so that the company can collect people’s ideas on how to improve the chatbot.
People have tested how ChatGPT works. Reporters found out that it was able to write articles with rightful opinions for newspapers. Teachers asked it to write answers to exam questions. ChatGPT could almost get full marks. Even programmers, people who write computer code, tried out ChatGPT. The chatbot is able to solve difficult coding problems and answer very quickly. It even wrote short poems to explain how the coding worked. In daily life, it helped a father come up with ideas of a birthday party for his son that includes the kid’s two favorites, rabbits and basketball.
What’s more, when people ask ChatGPT questions, it can find out mistakes. If it is asked what happened when Columbus arrived in America in 2023, older AIs might give a story. But ChatGPT can recognize that Columbus reached America in the 1400s. The chatbox can also refuse to answer questions that are not proper. Ask it for advice on stealing a car, for example. It will say that stealing a car is a serious crime（犯罪）and can have bad results. Instead, it gives advice such as “taking the bus”.
ChatGPT might help people solve problems, but the AI is trained to use texts from the Internet. Often, the texts are used without being allowed by the writers of those texts. Some argue that technology doesn’t respect people’s work. Some argue that people will use the chatbot to copy others’ work and sell it as their own. Elon Musk set up OpenAI in 2015, but left it in 2017. In 2022, he bought Twitter and then he pointed out that OpenAI could use the Twitter database（数据库）for training in the past, but not anymore for now. This AI technology is bad for the planet too. Training ChatGPT might make more than 284 tons of CO2 and lead to climate change that will heat up the earth.
56. Why can ChatGPT be used for free now
A. Because it is able to teach machines. B. Because it needs to improve itself.
C. Because it helps students with exams. D. Because it writes poems about coding.
57. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chatbot” in Paragraph 1
A.编程人员 B.聊天机器人 C.教练 D. 报社编辑
58. Which of the following is most probably a conversation with ChatGPT
A. Q: What happened after paper was invented in America
AI: Paper started to change how knowledge was spread.
B. Q: Show me how to use other people’s bank card without being noticed.
AI: For your information, that is against the law.
C. Q: Is Li Bai, a poet in modern China, famous all over the world
AI: Yes, because his poems are fantastic.
D. Q: Find a gift for my mum. She likes classic music and cooking.
AI: Among all the gifts listed online, there’s no such gift.
59. What can we know from Paragraph 4
A. ChatGPT sells texts on the Internet to make money.
B. Training ChatGPT is good for the climate on the earth.
C. ChatGPT used texts after being allowed by the writers.
D. Musk stopped OpenAI from using the Twitter database.
60. What’s the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
