When we watch movies, we often focus on (聚焦) what we see, but the voices behind the characters are also important. Lyu Yanting, 37, is the voice actor for little Nezha in Ne Zha 2. She uses her voice to bring the brave character to life.
Lyu explains that dubbing (配音) is a lot like acting. Before dubbing, voice actors read the script (剧本) to understand the story and their characters. They need to change their voices to be proper for the characters’ feelings and actions in the movie. The director (导演) helps guide them to give the best performance.

From studying to doing homework, students use AI tools like DeepSeek for different learning things. Many of them share study problems and get useful answers from DeepSeek. AI in education is a new trend (趋势). It’s changing how students get learning help. But can AI really take the place of human teachers
In 2024, many students who needed help with learning didn’t get it. They had problems like high costs or not enough good teachers. That is to say, there is not enough learning support. A professor named Daniel Lowd thinks AI can help solve this problem. He said, “If students can get help and good ways to study by talking to chatbots (聊天智能体), that’s wonderful.”
Li Yong, a middle-school teacher, thinks so too. AI can help students with their learning. Using knowledge of teaching, DeepSeek can help with some study problems. But Li Yong says AI can’t take the place of teachers completely. The connection between people is important. Teachers know students’ learning situations and needs better by talking. Then they can make more useful study plans.
People also wonder if they can believe AI’s answers in education. Professor Richard Lachman said, “AI chatbots will act like teachers when people ask them, but they don’t have a real teacher’s training or responsibility (责任感).”
Experts believe the government (政府) should help control AI in learning. For example, an app with an AI helper can work with schools and follow strict rules. As AI becomes popular, we need to know how it helps students learn and where it might cause problems.
How does the writer develop the first paragraph
A. By giving an example. B. By telling a story.
C. By comparing two things. D. By answering a question.
What problem did many students have in 2024
A. They couldn't use AI tools. B. They didn't know how to study.
C. They had no interest in learning. D. They didn't get enough learning support.
How can AI help students’ learning according to Daniel Lowd
A. It can help offer more study costs.
B. It can help solve the problem that there is not enough learning support.
C. It can help train professional teachers.
D. It can help take the place of all human teachers.
Why does Li Yong think AI can’t replace teachers completely
A. Because AI chatbots can’t give useful answers.
B. Because human teachers follow strict rules well.
C. Because AI chatbots doesn’t have enough education knowledge.
D. Because human teachers better understand students’ learning situations and needs.
What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The importance of controlling AI well in learning.
B. The good sides of AI chatbots on students’ learning.
C. Introduction to a popular educational app.
D. Differences between AI and human teachers.
