Under the Eiffel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair. The increase in tourist visits has pleased Huang not just from a business standpoint but also because it has led to greater awareness of the history and culture behind zanhua headwear.
“Earning a reputation for their hard work, perseverance and compassion (同情心) , the women of Xunpu are well- known for harvesting the highest quality seafood,” said Huang. “When they put a zanhua on their heads, they express their wish to pursue happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope, ” he added.

The sun's “sneeze” arrived as predicted! China's National Center for Space Weather (NCSW) forecast geomagnetic (地磁的) activities to occur from March 24 to 26. According to geomagnetic monitoring data, Earth experienced a geomagnetic storm that lasted for 12 hours on March 25.
Geomagnetic storms happen due to coronal mass ejections (CMEs, 日冕物质抛射) during which some material from the sun's outer layer makes its way to Earth. They can shoot out a huge amount of material and carry a strong magnetic field, which causes major changes in Earth's magnetic environment.
“Geomagnetic storms can disrupt (干扰) radio waves and cause problems for ground communication and satellite signals,” Professor Cai Zheng from Tsinghua University told Xinhua. This can influence the accuracy of navigation (导航) systems and the quality of signals for phones and satellite TV. Strong geomagnetic storms can also impact power transmission systems, even resulting in power outages (停电) .
To mitigate the effects of geomagnetic storms, it's recommended to power off unnecessary electronic devices, especially high- powered ones, to prevent damage or fire. Critical equipment and infrastructure (基础设施) also require special protective measures, including regular checks and data backups, noted Guangming Daily.
Intense geomagnetic activity can also affect the migration (迁徙) and navigation abilities of animals. For instance, homing pigeons rely on Earth's magnetic field for navigation during flight. Geomagnetic storms can affect their ability to find their way, making it difficult for them to return home.
Despite these disruptions, what about the impact of such storms on humans Shortly after recent geomagnetic storm, the topic of “geomagnetic storm, the topic of “geomagnetic storms and sleep” trended on Sina Weibo with some internet users claiming that they had trouble sleeping. However, it was just a convenient excuse. “Geomagnetic storms usually don't influence human health, ” Zong Weiguo at China Meteorological Administration told Science and Technology Daily.
Not only do geomagnetic storms have minimal (极小的) impact on humans, they also deliver an unexpected gift —auroras (极光) . During such a storm, charged particles (粒子) from space are guided by Earth's magnetic field into the atmosphere. When these particles hit atoms in the upper atmosphere, they release energy, causing the glowing lights known as auroras. In the early morning of March 25, auroras appeared in Genhe in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region and Mohe in Heilongjiang.
28. What causes geomagnetic storms
A. Magnetic disturbance within Earth's core.
B. Solar winds interacting with satellite signals.
C. Material escaping from the sun's outer atmosphere.
D. Electromagnetic disruption from human activities.
29. What might happen during geomagnetic storms
A. Mobile phones power off easily. B. Animals migrate more frequently.
C. People find it difficult to sleep. D. Satellite signals become unstable.
30. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Strengthen B. Reduce C. Change D. Monitor
31. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To discuss the causes of geomagnetic storms.
B. To report some recent geomagnetic storms.
C. To make readers learn about geomagnetic storms.
D. To explain the scientific facts behind auroras.
D
You've probably followed a few cute dogs and cats on social media. However, are you aware that AI- generated pets are also gaining popularity nowadays They are just as adorable as real dogs and cats but also exhibit human- like characteristics.
Chai Dada (not her real name) , 21, runs an AI- generated dog account called “Shizhuangzhuangya” on Xiaohonghshu and has already got more than 10, 000 followers. Her Al- generated pet Zhuangzhuang is a fluffy (毛茸茸) Shiba Inu (柴犬) with a big belly who likes to eat and work out. “Zhuangzhuang is actually an embodiment (化身) of me,” Chai said. “Its life and mood basically reflect my own.”
In 2023, the rise of AI tools made Chai very curious. She used it to generate different animals that acted like humans and posted them on Xiaohongshu for fun. “Gradually I came to focus on Zhuangzhuang because it is the cutest and represents me the most, ” Chai commented.
To personify the character more, the young content maker places Zhuangzhuang in various daily life scenarios (预想方案) . For instance, to respond to the recent surge (剧增) of “hui nan tian”—the super humid (潮湿) weather in southern China in spring —Chai posted images of Xhuangzhuang mopping a wet floor, with the caption (文案) , “It's wet everywhere at home”, vividly capturing the mood. In the comments section, many have expressed sympathy for the poor dog.
“Many scenes may seem ordinary, but when a very lifelike and adorable anthropomorphic (拟人化的) pet appears in these familiar scenes, it looks interesting, ” Chai said.
Since Zhuangzhuang closely resembles (像) a human in a dog's body, many followers have come to believe in its real existence. This has provided Chai with opportunities to monetize (变现赚钱) by partnering with brands for product advertisements. Aiming to expand her reach, Chai expressed a desire to delve (探究) deeper into AI to bring her AI pet to life not just in pictures but also in videos.
She also observed that more and more people like her are becoming AI pet bloggers, which has intensified competition in this industry. To attract more fans, bloggers are constantly learning more AI skills and brainstorming to create more interesting storylines. “I want to develop Zhuangzhuang into an intellectual property and create related cultural and creative products such as dolls and stickers, ” said Chai.
32. What do we know about the AI pet Zhuangzhuang
A. It is a digital reproduction of Chai's childhood pet.
B. It has gained over one million followers online.
C. It is a virtual image of a real dog, Zhuangzhuang.
D. It mirrors the life and personality of its creator.
33. Why is the “hui nan tian” example mentioned in the text
A. To show the fun Zhuangzhuang brings Chai. B. To illustrate how Chai humanizes Zhuangzhuang.
C. To describe Zhuangzhuang's daily struggles. D. To suggest Zhuangzhuang's growing fanbase.
34. Which of the following best describes Zhuangzhuang
A. Humorous and naughty. B. Competitive and fat.
C. Energetic and confident. D. Lifelike and cute.
35. What does Chai plan to do

C. Produce videos featuring Zhuangzhuang. D. Create more AI- generated animals.

“Billy, ” his teacher said, “you're new, so you don't know about our Spring School Festival. We have a barbecue and various competitions for children and parents.

Jimmy said, “The Spring School Festival Oh, it's fun.” “Right!” Billy sighed. “I don't have parents, so I'll be even more of a freak.” Jimmy, a previous soldier, replied thoughtfully, “I used to compete when your dad was your age. I even won a few times.” Billy was excited, thinking he'd get major respect if his grandpa won this game.

Billy's face flushed with embarrassment. However, when Jimmy baked a beautiful fruit pie, the laughter died down, replaced by applause and cheers. The sock- repairing was another success!

M: Everybody, attention please! This is your captain speaking. I have something urgent to tell you: we have to change our direction due to a storm up ahead about fifty miles away. We were hoping to get to Miami by 7 pm but the storm started moving faster than we had thought. We just can't take any chances so we'll have to stop in Havana City and continue on tomorrow morning. There is also a chance that the storm will move closer to us and we might experience some strong wind and rain. We know it seems nice and calm now but that could change at any minute. For this reason we need everyone to come inside and walk to your rooms at once. This is for your own safety. Do not run. We don't want anyone getting hurt. Please don't worry. We've done this trip from Mexico City six times this year, and every year before that since1999, so you are in good hands. If you need help, please look for our staff or dial 811 on the phone in your room.
