The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft. It has a history of over 1,000 yeas in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the "Tang Umbrella".

However, as steel-ribbed (钢骨的) umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily. They were turned into decorative artifacts (装饰性工艺品).

A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. "I want to bring the art to life.” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less.
Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to promote the art.

My friend Siberia once said: "Things do not give us true happiness." I used to wonder, "Is this really so " But after experiencing a worldwide quarantine (隔离)，I think it's true.
We live in a new, strange world. My new dress hangs in my closet - I have nowhere to wear it. My expensive car is parked -I can't go anywhere. My gym membership card is on my desk-I haven't used it in a long time. Siberia was right- things do not make me happy.
Then how can we find happiness I asked Siberia this question. She said it's easy- you just have to smile and be nice to everyone, even strangers.
I decided to try it. I opened WhatsApp and entered a chat group where my neighbors and I discuss our problems. L wrote, "Dear neighbors, I hope you're having a great day! Everything will be all right," I added a smiley emoji. Within minutes, my phone received lots of messages from my neighbors. People thanked me and wished me a good day. One neighbor shared a fun song, another sent a cute kitten sticker, and another sent me a funny meme (表情包).
I thought to myself, "I've made so many people happy with just a few words. If each of us said one nice thing, there could be so much happiness in the world! " This is why I'm starting the kind words marathon. Let's each write something nice every day to a friend, neighbor, volunteer …anyone! We can support each other during these difficult times.
38.According to Siberia, we can be happy by______________.
A. being kind to other people
B. buying some beautiful clothes
C. getting a gym membership card
D. having an expensive private car

①"There are waves rushing across the sea. There are ships sailing under the sails on the middle of the sea. All through the spring has been filled with a rich and poetic atmosphere." It's a beautiful poem that was written in several seconds by ChatGPT. It is a powerful Al chatbot that can give you an answer to just about any question you have. It's as if you could have a conversation with Google, a tool to search for information.
②New things always bring benefits for all walks of life. We can get information supported by thousands of web pages, with the information in a simple language. ChatGPT can also help people who are poor at foreign languages communicate effectively. In addition, using it as a teaching tool can help teachers save time. For example, Chat GPT provides teaching ideas and activities for classes. Another fun way is to ask for cooking ideas with the ingredients (原料) you have on hand. When used in this way, Chat GPT can be a great tool to make the world closer and better!
③Chat GPT is amazing, but it causes worries. For thousands of years, students have been required to find information from books and the Internet now. It requires a level of effort. Students who work hard usually get rewards and can see lots of different information. With ChatGPT, finding information becomes much easier than using the Internet or a book. It could
make cheating much easier, and make students feel their hard work isn't rewarded.
④Chat GPT also presents other problems. Nowadays, there are millions of people all over the world working in the ‘knowledge economy'. It may have influence on people, such as translators, scientists, teachers and writers. Because ChatGPT helps people get information easily, these jobs could become much easier. It may lead in the result that _______▲_______, as their skills are no longer something companies need.
⑤It's too soon to say what kind of effect ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let's hope that its effects are mostly positive, if ChatGPT does become bigger and more popular. So what do you think
42. Why does the writer mention a poem in Paragraph 1
A. To start a story. B. To explain an idea.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To discuss a problem.
43. What may Chat GPT do for us according to Paragraph 2
①searching for the information
②entering the cooking competition
③offering lesson plans to teachers
④helping foreigners chat with Chinese
A.①②③ B.①③④ C. ①②④ D.②③④
44. Which of the following can be put into_______▲_______ in Paragraph 4
A. Chat PGT will take the place of human beings
B. writers will play an important part in economy
C. the Internet knowledge will spread quite slowly
D. many people will lose jobs or be paid much less
