Libby Gruender was a woman from California, USA.One day,she read an article about a
young girl in the foster care home(抚育院).The girl started to cry (suddenly when she got her first birthday cake,and the foster mother said.sorry, thinking she probably hurt her feelings.But the girl told her she was crying because she never had a birthday cake before.The article made Libby understand that even a small cake could make a great difference to the lives of poor children.
Libby thought there might be children who never got birthday cakes in the foster care home.
So in 2010,she started Cake4Kids in California. She and a group of friends worked with a foster
care organization there to bake (烘烤)cakes for the children."While a birthday cake may seem
like a simple thing to many people,it serves as a sweet reminder (暖心的提醒) to the children in the foster care home.They know someone else cares about them.They start caring about themselves and thinking that they can do more than they thought they could before,"said Libby.
Unluckily,three years after Cake4Kids began, Libby passed away,but her mission (使命) lives on.So far,many volunteers have joined in.
Today,Cake4Kids has hundreds of volunteers in many places.It serves over 400 social service

Kids' health and happiness are among the top worries of every family and even the country.
Nowadays,because of heavy schoolwork and stress, lots of kids have trouble with their eyesight
and weight(视 力 和 体 重 ).These problems can really mess up their healthy growth,so it's important to find ways to solve them.
China will make sure that primary and middle school students join in at least two hours of
physical activities each day.Every day,students will have one P.E.class and one hour of physical
exercise after class.
The 10-minute break between classes for primary and middle schools in Beijing has become
15 minutes.The government tries to give teachers and students enough break time between
classes and also wants students to spend more time outdoors to further improve their physical
health.
▲ Hearing the news,many students were excited.One student said,"I'm very happy that we
can have one P.E.class every day.Sweating (流汗) helps take the “waste” out of our bodies. Many
parents also gave their support (支持), saying,"More exercise lets children become well-rounded
(全面的) and helps them build a strong body."Many schools have different kinds of sports classes to meet the needs of students.
To make exercise fu,schools are adding activities like rope jumping,dance,and even Chinese
martial arts. Teachers say these changes help students focus (集中精力 )better and feel less
stressed.“ We're happier and healthier and we can learn teamwork through sports!"said a student.Everyone hopes kids will grow up healthily and happily.

Have you ever wondered if you're talking to a computer New computer programs called
language models are very good at copying how people talk.They can make words and sentences
that sound like a real person,making it hard to know if you're talking to a computer or a human.
We wanted to find out how people tell if a text was written by AI or a person.Many people
use simple rules to guess,but these rules aren't always right.This can be hazardous because it
might make people fall for scams(骗局).
A long time ago,people asked if machines could think.Alan Turing,a computer scientist,
thought a lot about Al.He said we should test if a computer can answer like a person.If you can't
tell the difference,the computer passes the Turing test.
Today,language models learn from sentences in books and online.They use these words to
learn how people write.It's fun to see computers write like humans,but there are also problems.
Some people use computers to cheat on tests. Scammers(骗子)may use computers to send bad messages to cheat people.
To learn more,we did a study with 4,600 people. We showed them 16 short texts.The
people had to guess if each text was from a human or a computer.Our study found that people
were wrong most of the time.They often used rules that didn't work well.This shows that we
must always check where a message comes from and ask an adult if we're not sure.
( )27.What does the underlined word "hazardous” mean
A.Dangerous. B.Useless. C.Surprising. D.Educational.
( )28.Why is it hard to tell if a text was written by AI or a human
A.Because people know nothing about computers.
B.Because computers speak and write like humans.
C.Because computers communicate in the same way as humans.
D.Because scammers use computers to send bad messages to people.
( )29.What did the study of 4,600 people try to tell us
A.Al wrote most texts.
B.We can trust everything online.
C.AI is much cleverer than humans.
D.We should be careful about the information online.
( )30.What's the best title for the text
A.Ways to Stop Online Scams
B.Human or AI Text:Can You Tell
C.The History of Alan Turing's Test
D.Good Points of Modern Language Models

5
long,but knew right away that there was a connection(联系)between them when they met each other for the first time. What makes a good friend

【范文展示】
Some students think they should do housework,while others believe they should not As for
me,I think students should do housework because it has many benefits.
First,doing housework helps us develop a sense of responsibility.By doing housework, we
learn to take care of our home and understand the importance of sharing family duties.Second,
doing housework helps us learn important life skills.These skills will be useful and help us live a
better life in the future.Finally,doing housework helps us learn how to organize our time.It is
good for balancing school and personal life.
In a word,I think we students should do housework.It not only prepares us to become more
independent but also makes us better people.
