In 2024, Doubao brought us amazing AI smart earphones called Ola Friend. They are open-ear headphones and really light, with each one just 6. 6 grams. You can wear them for hours without any discomfort, like you hardly feel them-it's so comfortable! These earphones come in four nice colors. They went on sale on October 17. Their relation with Doubao's large language model is great. Say “Doubao Doubao” and you can talk to Doubao without touching your phone. They're very useful in daily life, although they have some weaknesses.
When you visit a museum, Ola Friend becomes a helpful guide. If you see an interesting thing on show and ask about it, it tells you all about its past and the person who made it. It can even share some fun facts about it, helping you learn more easily.
On a trip in a foreign country, it's really useful. It quickly turns your words into the home language, and gives advice in local（当地的） ways. You can talk to people there easily and won't make mistakes.
For those who exercise, it's like a good helper. It looks over how fast your heart goes while you run and shout “come on” to you. After your workout, it shows things like how much energy（能量） you used, which is good for seeing how well you' re doing in exercise.
Learning English Ola Friend helps you say words the right way. You can practice talking with it, and it' ll get your mistakes right in language rules, making it much easier and better to learn English.
However, Ola Friend also has some weaknesses. Sometimes the battery （电池）runs out fast. If you use it very often in a day, like listening to music and asking questions, it won't work before the day ends.

Feel sad Hug（拥抱） a tree! These days, many Chinese young people have turned to trees to help with their hard times. Hundreds of people have shared their tree-hugging experiences on the Internet. They say they feel freer and braver after it. 36
US scientist Edward Wilson said that humans’ love for nature is “in our DNA”. People naturally like to be around other living things. 37 It's also one of the reasons why people love cute pets.
Some studies have looked into why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study in 2021 reported that more oxytocin（催产素） is available when we are doing the activity. 38 Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can make enough oxytocin.
Cortisol（皮质醇） also shows how our feelings are. There will be more cortisol in the brain when the person is worried, angry, or very sad. 39
40 Although the activity is helpful to us, we should keep in mind that trees often enjoy great importance in nature. Many small animals live on the tree and maybe they are too small to be seen. We need to be careful when hugging trees-just like how we hug a friend!
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A. The more we have oxytocin, the happier we may be.
B. Hugging trees helps cut it, which makes us feel better.
C. There is one thing to remember when we hug the trees.
D. Though it sounds unusual, there's a science behind the act.
E. This idea helps to tell us why people like natural and green things.

六、书面表达
Some students like to study with the help of AI, some don't. Here are some opinions about how to use AI. On one hand, AI is like a smarter helper. For example, when we have problems in math, we can ask AI for help. It can show us clearer learning steps so that I can have a better understanding. If we want to write a passage about robots. AI not only saves time' but also gives us more learning and writing information. On the other hand, we shouldn't depend on it too much, or we will think less when studying. We may become lazy. If we often use AI to do homework, not by ourselves, it will cover up more learning mistakes.
In my view, we can use AI, but not too much. We should use it to get some new ideas or solve difficult problems. But we still need to study hard by ourselves. We should use our own brains to think and learn. This is the best way to improve our study.
