China's second female astronaut,Wang Yaping,has given the country's first-ever video lecture from space.The whole lecture lasted about 40 minutes.
Speaking to students through live video,from the Tiangong-I space laboratory.Ms.Wang used spinning tops （旋转的陀螺），a ball and some water to explain physics in zero-gravity （失重），with the help of a fellow astronaut.
Ms.Wang used different experiments to demonstrate （证明） the concepts （概念） of weight and mass （质量） in space.Towards the end of the class,Ms Wang made a film （薄膜） of water using a metal ring.She then turned the film of water into a water ball by pouring more water on to it.
Around 330 primary and secondary school students .watched the lecture from a special classroom in Beijing,where they could also ask Ms.Wang questions through live video.
From time to time,the students greeted her lecture with warm applause （掌声）.When answering a student's question,Ms.Wang described what she could see in space.
"The stars we see are much brighter,but they do not twinkle （闪烁），she said,"The sky we see isn't blue,but black.And every day,we can see the sun rise 16 times because we circle the Earth every 90 minutes."
About 60 million students and teachers around China also watched the' lecture live on TV.

No artist required
One day, Ammaar Reshi was playing around with a chatbot called ChatGPT, a computer program using artificial intelligence (AI) to copy the way human beings think and write. Reshi then came up with an idea to use the AI program to make a children's book. The story of the book came from a conversation Reshi had with the chatbot, about a girl called Alice. And then he used another AI program, Midjourney, to make illustrations(插图)for the book. Midjourney is a new AI-powered tool that can turn words into amazing artwork, like pictures.
The book, Alice and Sparkle, was done in just a couple of days. "Anyone can use these AI tools," Reshi said. "And they're not hard to use."
Reshi posted about the book online after it was finished. Heated argument about it started at once. Some people liked the lovely story as well as the beautiful illustrations and praised Reshi for his smartness. But not everyone welcomed the birth of the special book. Among them, artists were especially critical of it. They think the way the illustrations were made was a big problem. Midjourney searches through millions of pictures created by artists on the Internet. And then it manages to find patterns(式样) in those pictures and create new ones based on the patterns. Artists often upload their work online for people to enjoy. But Midjourney could be using their work without permission(允许).
"The main problem to me about AI is that it was taken from artists'work," illustrator Adriane Tsai says. "It's our creations, our personal styles that we did not permit them to use."
Many artists and writers are nervous about the future. Will people pay for their work if it can be done cheaper by using AI programs
Some companies are already choosing AI over human talent. The San Francisco Ballet used pictures made with Midjourney to improve its production of the classic The Nutcracker. At a funny performance club, an AI-powered robot told jokes that made people laugh out loud. Journalist Abraham Riesman said, "It's deeply troubling to see people looking for cheap alternatives(替代品) to actual human writing."
Reshi says technology companies should protect artists and writers whose work might be used by AI tools. He suggests that they should involve artists and writers in the process of creation.

(2) How long did it take the AI programs to create the book Alice and Sparkle _______________________________________________________________________
(3) What is Reshi's advice to technology companies to protect artists and writers _________________________________________________________________________
(4) Do you think it is a good idea to use AI programs in the process of creation Why or why not (Give at least two reasons) ________________________________________________________________________

When you talk about, or even think about Iron Man, the first image that pops into your head is the red and gold suit worn by Tony Stark. It provides Stark strength, protection against most attacks(攻击) and the power of flight. Iron Man is just a story, but the suit is not. Engineers call it an exoskeleton(外骨骼). It is the protective or supporting structure covering the outside of the body.
In fact, the exoskeletons were used in hospitals at first. They have changed the lives of many people with injuries(受伤) or illnesses that affect movement. A disease had paralyzed Stacey Kozel and she could not walk anymore. But in 2016, she went hiking with an exoskeleton. In recent years, more and more exoskeletons have been used in factories. It is easy for people to do the tiring or dangerous work with the exoskeletons. "We usually pay attention to efficiency(效率). Using the exoskeletons saves us much time and money. The workers can make more products at the same time." One factory manager said. "Also, wearing the exoskeletons can reduce the risk of injury. "What's more, exoskeletons can be used in rescue(救援) operations, providing workers with a lot of strength to lift heavy objects while protecting them from being hurt by falling weights.
However, the global spread of exoskeletons remains difficult. For one thing today's exoskeletons are expensive because they need to be charged(充电) regularly. For another, most exoskeletons can help people do only one type of movement. A company called SuitX is developing new forms of exoskeletons now. The company hopes people of all ages can use their products in the future.
That would be really cool, but some people worry that the technology will divide humanity. People who can afford exoskeletons will become stronger and achieve more than those without suits. We may end up with two classes of humanity: the superhumans and everybody else. That wouldn't be fair. Also, researchers have found that when people work in exoskeletons, muscles(肌肉) compete with each other, causing the brain to work less efficiently. Over time, it can also cause harm to the body.
So will exoskeletons harm or benefit humanity No one knows for sure. More research is needed.
(1) What is an exoskeleton ________________________________
(2) What did Stacey Kozel do with an exoskeleton in 2016 __________________________________________________________
(3) Why are today's exoskeletons expensive _____________________________________________
(4) Would you like to have an exoskeleton Why or why not (List at least two reasons) __________________________________________________________________________
19. ChatGPT
There's a new AI robot: ChatGPT, and you'd better read carefully, even if you don't know artificial intelligence(人工智能). ChatGPT is a tool made by the company OpenAI in November 2022. They wanted to show everyone what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers your conversations, using the questions you asked and its answers to prepare its next sentences. It makes its answers from lots of information on the Internet. It can do many other things, such as writing papers, describing art very well, creating AI art ideas, having thoughtful conversations and even writing computer codes(密码) for you!
Perhaps it's not smart enough to replace(替代) all humans yet, but it can be creative. A few days after its launch(上市), more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. It was said that about 100 million people used ChatGPT in February 2023.
However, ChatGPT cannot replace Baidu. ChatGPT is an AI robot that gives answers to your questions, but Baidu is a website that helps you look for information.
ChatGPT is still new and has a lot of problems. Here are 5 big problems that experts have noticed:
(1). ChatGPT might give wrong answers. Don't use it for math questions or medical advice!
(2). ChatGPT might take jobs from humans. It could make it harder for writers, teachers, artists and computer programmers to make their living.
(3). ChatGPT could challenge high school writing homework. It will make it easier for students not to write their own papers and lose their own responsibility.
(4). ChatGPT could cause harm to people. If someone asks it a question instead of going to the hospital, it will be very dangerous.
(5). ChatGPT has too much power. We don't know what the training system details are, so we don't know where it is getting the information to give you the answers.
ChatGPT is a fun and exciting new technology for everyone to use and experiment with. We can make the best use of ChatGPT for learning. But be careful with it!
(1) When was ChatGPT made
(2) What can ChatGPT do List 2-3 points.
(3) What's the difference between ChatGPT and Baidu
(4) Will you use ChatGPT Why or why not

Monday, 1st March 2010
The next day is Monday, but Jan doesn't feel ready to go back to school. She goes into the garden. Was it all a dream Did she really travel back in time She looks carefully at the tree and then she sees it—Tom's name carved in the tree trunk.
If she really travelled to the past then her Mika CD and Earth Hour wristband wouldn't be inside the time capsule. She opens it very carefully. To her surprise, none of her things are there. Instead, other different things are in it. There's a record, a penknife, a 1975 map of Port Prime and a copy of the Prime News newspaper dated February 27th, 1976. And there's a letter from Tom to her.

Dear Jan, I hope you arrive home safely and your parents aren't too angry. And I hope you like the things in the time capsule. The knife is my special penknife. I used it to cut my name in your apple tree. The map is for you to remember what Port Prime was like when you were here—before the airport and the motorway. Look carefully. I put a cross on the cliffs where we cycled on Saturdays. I put in the Leo Sayer record that Pauly gave you. And the newspaper is Friday's paper. Look at the TV page for Doctor Who in The Seeds of Doom. I can't believe Doctor Who is still on TV in 2010! I'm sorry I took the things from your time capsule. I hope you understand. Don't forget. Look for me in the future. I know you can find me if you try. Your best friend,
Tom
