If you walk around Huntington Beach,California,you may spot a woman holding five leashes(绳套)with one hand and pulling a wagon(马车)with the other.A closer look will show she has seven dogs with her—and none of them are walking on all four legs.Her name is Debbie Pearl,and all of her dogs have disabilities and use wheelchairs or prosthetic limbs(义肢).
There is no doubt Pearl is a dog lover—she trains them for movies and said she has always had“quite a few”of her own dogs at home.In 2005,she created a nonprofit called Dream Fetchers,which helps rescue dogs from the streets.As part of the organization's mission, members of Pearl's personal pack work as therapy(治疗)dogs.

“Eddie was definitely my inspiration for adopting other disabled dogs,"Pearl said."He was so full of life.He never let anything slow him down.I mean,he truly was unstoppable."About once a week,she gathers up her crew and takes them to hospitals,schools or the Easter Seals—a nonprofit that helps adults with disabilities.
“I look for dogs that have been through traumatic(创伤的)events,but they have this amazing gift of forgiveness,"Pearl said."And that's a powerful thing for a lot of people, because they can see the courage,the resilience(韧性)that these dogs have.And all of mine have been through the worst—and they've come out shining."
She says all her dogs are here because they've gotten a second chance at life.And for other survivors of abuse,or those with disabilities,that can be a powerful thing to see.

The problem of food borne metal contamination(污染)has taken on new urgency,thank sin part to a 2021 US Congressional Report detailing high levels of metals found in baby food pulled off grocery shelves.More recently,high levels of lead(铅)were discovered in children's fruit puree pouches.Now,two new studies provide information on the correlation between exposure to heavy metals in food and the risk of cancers and other serious health risks.
Food crops can absorb heavy metals from contaminated soil,air,and water.As a result, traces of dangerous heavy metals—lead,arsenic(砷么and cadmium(镉)—are found in common foods from rice and cereals to nuts and vegetables.7Fglicia Wu,Michigan State University food scientist,is leading several investigations to gain a better understanding of the health risks of heavy metal exposure.
In the studies,Wu and her colleague,gathered data on the dietary intake of each metal from various sources such as food and water samples and existing studies and reports.There searchers analysand the data to determine the strength of the association between dietary exposure and bad health effects.Both cancer and non-cancer health effects were considered.
Lead is a poisonous metal commonly found in old paint,water pipes,and contaminated soil.Food sources of lead include root vegetables like beets.In the study,lead showed moderate(中度的)to high risk scores for causing lung,kidney,bladder,stomach,and brain cancers.It also showed moderate to high scores for non-cancer risks.
Their initial estimates suggest that every year,more than 6,000 additional cases of bladder and lung cancers and over 7,000 cases of skin cancers can be attributed(归因于)to the consumption of inorganic arsenic in the United States.The researchers also found that certain food products can be associated with higher cancer risk than others.These include rice, wheat, and leafy green vegetables.
28.What do the new studies focus on
A.Food safety and children's health.
B.Food crops and metal contamination.
C.Heavy metals and its danger extent.
D.Metal contamination in food and health risks.

D.By referring to previous textbooks,
31.Which ran best describe Wu's findings
A.Dramatic.

The poster child for generative Al software is a shocking human mimic(模仿者).It represents a potential new era in research,but brings risks.
It co-wrote scientific papers-sometimes secretly.It drafted outlines for presentations, proposals and classes.churned out(大量炮制)computer code,and served as a sounding board for research ideas.lt also invented references,made up facts and repeated hate speech.Most of all, it caught people's imaginations.ChatGPT took on whatever role its interlocutors(对话者)desired—and some they didn't.
ChatGPT's only objective is to plausibly continue dialogues in the style of its training data.But in doing so,it and other generative artificial-intelligence(AI)programme are changing how scientists work.They have also reopened debates about the limits of AI,the nature of human intelligence and how best to adjust the interaction between the two.
For some researchers ChatGPT has become an invaluable lab assistant—helping to summarize or write manuscripts(手稿),polish applications and write codes.ChatGPT and related software can help to brainstorm ideas,enhance scientific,search engines and identify research gaps in the literature,says Marinka Zitnik,who works on AI for medical research at Harvard Medical School in Boston,Massachusetts.
But the technology is also dangerous.Automated conversational agents can aid cheats and plagiarists(剽窃者);left unchecked,they could damage the well of scientific knowledge. Undisclosed AI-made content has begun to spread through the Internet and some scientists have admitted using ChatGPT to generate articles without declaring it.
No one knows how much more there is to get from ChatGPT- like systems. Their capabilities might yet be limited by the availability of computing power or new training data.But the generative AI revolution(革命)has started.And there's no turning back.
32.Which aspect of ChatGPT is Paragraph 2 about
A.Its potential.
B.Its influence
C.Its application.
D.Its working theory.
33.What does the underlined word"plausibly"probably mean in Paragraph 3
A.Secretly.
B.Fairly.
C.Reasonably.
D.Immediately
34.What is Marinka Zitnik's attitude towards ChatGPT
A.Positive.
B.Critical.
C.Concerned.
D.Unclear,
35.What is the best title for the text
A.More Users' Welfare:ChatGPT
B.AI Revolution;No Turning Back
C.ChatGPT:More Functions Developed
D.ChatGPT and Science:for Good and Bad

How to Retain(保留)Knowledge
Retaining knowledge is important for success at school and in the workplace.While there's no set rule for how much people will forget over a given amount of time,everyone will sometimes struggle t0 remember important information.__36__
Use spaced repetition.If you want to remember something,don't repeat it over and over to yourself—this is known as massed repetition.__37__Ideally,you want to try to retrieve(找回)the information exactly at the moment when you were about to forget it.The difficulty of retrieving the information correlates to how strongly you will remember it.
Quiz yourself.__38__The process of retrieving the information from your brain seems to strengthen your mental connection to it,making it easier to remember that information over the long term.
Take notes long-hand.Even if you only use your laptop for note-taking,and stay away from distractions like e mail or social media,typing is still less effective than hand writing your notes.__39__This is the first step towards understanding and retaining knowledge,rather than merely recording it.
__40__Teaching the knowledge you need to retain to a friend,roommate,or family member forces you to translate the information into clear,understandable language.This is an important activity in"active learning",which has been shown to improve memory and understanding of knowledge.
A.Link your knowledge to larger concepts.
B.Explain your knowledge to someone else.
C.Instead,let some time go by before you repeat it.
D.Reflect on what aspects of the learning process have worked for you.
E.Taking a short test helps to keep information you've just learned in your mind.
F.Writing by hand is slower and forces you to put the teacher's words into your own words.
G.However,it's possible to strengthen memorization skills and ensure important knowledge is retained.

Do you know when and how bicycles began Well,in the eighteenth century,cities became larger and larger.And people moved from the countryside and small towns to the cities because there was more work for them to do in the cities.On Sundays and holidays,they liked to leave the cities and have a good time in the countryside.But not every family had a horse.So people needed a simpler means of transportation,and inventors in many countries tried to solve this problem.
Therefore,the first bicycle,which was very simple,appeared in 1790 in France.People called it"the horse on wheels",but it was difficult to ride and it also felt uncomfortable.Then in 1861,after many improvements being made,bicycles became a practical means of transportation. And people liked bicycles,because they were not as expensive as horses,and better still,they didn't need to be fed.However,they could go anywhere and were easy to ride.
