ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US 1 of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with a homework assignment (任务).
Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT is a 2 tool. You can ask it to write stories and emails, create recipes (食谱), translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions.

Apart from bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to block the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking cxams and handwritten papers 7 typed ones, The New York Times reported.
However, not all educators say “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are drafting (起草) policies on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to 8 ban the tool so far.
Bhaskar Vira, pro-vice-chancellor (副校长) for 9 at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on Al software like ChatGPT are not wise. “We have to know that [AI] is a tool people will use,” he said. 10 we need to do is “adapt our learning, teaching and examinations”.

I never thought I would be a “runner”. I was the girl who ran 11 in the PE class in my primary school. A few years later, I was walking with a group of 12 in the Race for the Cure, a 5km race designed to raise money for the fight against cancer, when one lady caught my eye.
She was one of the weakest-looking women I’ve ever seen. She must have been close to seventy years old, dressed in a T-shirt with the word “Survivor”. She was so small that it seemed as if she could even be turned 13 by a strong wind. But she was running. And she was 14 me and my group of friends. She ran slowly, but determinedly(坚定地)—as if each step pushed her cancer into her past. Right at that moment, I 15 that in the next Race for the Cure, I’d be running along with her.

A year later, I was at the Race for the Cure again. When the race started, the other runners passed me by. I wondered if I’d be able to do it. Suddenly, I remembered the 18 woman. I ran as fast as I could until I finally 19 that finishing line. I had just finished my first race! I looked down at my legs, amazed. They had done something I’d never thought possible. I have never felt so strong before and I knew it was a 20 that I wanted to create again.

In the city of London about 150 years ago, many people started to get very sick. The sickness they had was called “cholera”(霍乱). The disease caused 41 among Londoners because nobody knew how to prevent it or cure it.
Most doctors thought that people got cholera from breathing in 42 air. They told patients to open their windows and breathe in fresh air as much as possible. Some doctors told their patients to drink lots of water or take certain medicine. However, their advice did not 43 . They did not know what to do.
John Snow was a doctor and scientist who had a(n) 44 idea. He thought that cholera might have been spreading through the water that people were drinking. Maybe polluted water was making everyone sick.
At first, nobody paid much attention to Dr. Snow. They believed that cholera was spread through the air and that water was not the 45 . Dr. Snow developed a plan to prove his theory (理论).

The neighbourhoods with the cleanest water had the 47 sick people. The places with the dirtiest water had the greatest number of sick people.

Many people argue that the brain is the most important organ in the body. It 51 what we think, what we feel, and what we do all day. 52 , your brain is in charge of keeping your balance, helping you talk, and moving the muscles in your body. When you sleep, however, your brain is 53 from doing most of its daytime tasks. So what exactly does your brain do when you are asleep
The brain 54 working and thinking all night long.

Your brain does a lot more than help you make decisions while you are asleep. It 56 uses that time to help you learn and remember information better. 57 sleep, the brain goes back over new information that you learned during the day.

Did you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully 71 the grammar is not completely perfect.
However, one 72 problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you The 73 of this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not 74 if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words well is to learn new words and use them 75 . You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. 76 is more active than just reading a definition (定义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you 77 .
Imagine you just learn the word “generous”. Write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the 78 : Thanks for paying for my dinner; you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are 79 to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence 80 the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook If not, start now.
