A surprisingly efficient and powerful Chinese AI model has taken the technology industry by storm. It’s called DeepSeek R1, which makes Wall Street nervous. The new AI model was developed by DeepSeek, a company that was born in 2023. R1 can nearly match the capabilities of its far more famous competitors, including OpenAI’s GPT-4, Meta’s Llama and Google’s Gemini — but it costs much less. The company spent just $5.6 million powering its base AI model, compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars American companies spend.
But R1 gained significant attention this week when the company revealed its shockingly low cost of operation. And it is open-source, which means other companies can test and build upon the model to improve it. The DeepSeek app has been downloaded nearly 2 million times.
Andreessen, who set up Andreessen Horowitz, calls DeepSeek one of the most amazing and impressive achievements that he has ever seen in a post on the Internet. If that potentially world-changing power can be achieved at a significantly reduced cost, it will open up new possibilities and threats to the planet.
Although the cost-saving achievement may be significant, the R1 model hasn’t yet proven it can deal with some of the extremely ambitious (耗资的) AI capabilities for industries that for now still require huge and large amounts of investment.
24. Which makes DeepSeek R1 amazing
A. Its developers. B. Its latest chips. C. Its cost-effectiveness. D. Its application fields.
25. What is Andreessen’s attitude on capabilities of DeepSeek R1
A. Positive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
26. What can be inferred about the RI model
A. It reaches perfection. B. It is dangerous for humans.
C. It still has technology bottle-neck. D. Its cost can’t go down any more.
27. Which is the best title for the text
A. DeepSeek R1’s Limiting Factors B. AI’s High-cost Problem
C. DeepSeek R1: Low-cost Wonder D. AI Competitors: A Big Race
C
When Zhou Longshan started filming birds 10 years ago at Baiyangdian Lake, a major wetland in northern China, he just wanted to record his favorite species — egrets (白鹭). Then, things snowballed. In the following years, the teacher became a bird-watcher, a volunteer ranger at the lake, a photographer documenting over 110 bird species and an educator popularizing bird-related information among students. “Sharing bird-protection knowledge with children can make them feel the beauty of their hometown and the importance of birds, and help them cultivate the habit of protecting birds from an early age,” he says.
Over time, Zhou’s interest in birds continued to grow. In 2021, he was appointed as a bird observer by the natural resources bureau (自然资源局) of Anxin county, responsible for conducting regular patrols (巡逻) and popularizing bird-related knowledge. To monitor birds, Zhou would ride a bike to Baiyangdian almost every day before dawn, whatever the weather. He would record the birds appearing at the lake, along with their locations, where they fed and when they migrated, thus providing reference data for staff members of the natural resources bureau of Anxin county.
Although Zhou takes delight in the role, there are still many challenges. Sometimes, he has to navigate earth embankments on his bike. One summer day in 2021, he fell into a ditch with water more than a meter deep, resulting in water damage to his cellphone.
However, these difficult episodes have not undermined Zhou’s love of birds. Over the years, he has taken more than 100,000 pictures of the birds at Baiyangdian. During his spare time, he reads books on China’s birds, talks with other enthusiasts and university professors, and updates his WeChat official account to introduce Baiyangdian to a wider audience.
These days, Zhou’s schedule is growing busier. In addition to his regular patrols near the lake, he is sometimes invited to local schools to give lectures, keeping students informed about birds and how to protect them. Zhou will retire next month. “I will continue patrolling the lake and photographing the birds to contribute to the protection of birds in my hometown,” he says.
28. Why did Zhou start taking photos of birds at first
A. To share bird-protection knowledge with children. B. To cultivate the habit of protecting birds.
C. To keep track of his favorite species. D. To become a volunteer ranger at the lake.
29. What did Zhou do to track birds
A. He rode a bike to Baiyangdian every day before dawn.
B. He went to Baiyangdian in all weathers.
C. He recorded all the birds along with their locations.
D. He provided reference data for natural resources bureau.
30. What can we infer about Zhou’s job as a bird observer
A. He didn’t meet any challenges while doing the job.
B. He reads books about birds all over the world in his free time.
C. He is invited to local schools to give lectures every day.
D. He uses social media to introduce Baiyangdian to more people.
31. Which of the following best describes Zhou
A. Enthusiastic and controlling. B. Knowledgeable and persistent.
C. Farsighted and reserved. D. Considerate and stubborn.
D
When you finally finish your homework and get to relax, what do you do Do you lie on your bed and scroll through (滚屏) your phone Many people find that this kind of entertainment only brings boredom and emptiness. Contrary to what many people may think, play isn’t just a waste of time. Having the ability to play and relax meaningfully during your leisure time is important.
“Leisure doesn’t improve quality of life unless one knows how to use it effectively,” James Wallman, the author of Time and How to Spend It, told CNBC Make It, explaining that some experiences are “junk experiences” while others are like “superfoods”. The “superfood” activities put you into a state of “flow”, which is “about being in the present zone and really enjoying yourself”, added Wallman. Any pleasurable activity that truly challenges you has the potential to lead to the flow state.
These “superfoods” help you achieve a higher “leisure quotient (LQ)” (玩商). LQ is an index (指数) used to describe one’s ability to relax and play. A high LQ usually means that a person has good control over their life, knows how to develop their potential (潜能) and keeps a balanced lifestyle that makes them healthier and happier, according to China Daily.
Psychological (心理学的) research shows that people with high LQ scores feel happier and generally avoid depression and other mental illnesses. Instead of doing passive activities like scrolling through short videos, people with high LQ scores actively select activities that suit their interests and strengths, giving them continuous positive feedback.
According to Wallman, examples of this positive feedback include: a memorable story you can share with others, a new skill or a different world view, greater engagement with the real world, and improved relationships or a higher social position. Next time you find yourself bored with nothing to do, try engaging in some experiences that can benefit you or add to your life. It’s never too late to improve your LQ!
32. What kind of activities are “superfood” activities according to James Wallman
A. Those that make you energetic. B. Those that help you find something new.
C. Those that are both enjoyable and challenging. D. Those that cause you to feel excited for a while.
33. What does the LQ index measure (测量)
A. The potential to have a successful life. B. The ability to manage stress effectively.
C. The ability to balance health and happiness. D. The skills in meaningful play and relaxation.
34. What can people with a high LQ usually do
A. Follow the same world view as others. B. Make life meaningful, enjoyable and healthy.
C. Select activities which suit their interests only. D. Avoid depression and mental illnesses completely.
35. What is the text about
A. The debate about the use of LQ. B. The importance of LQ and its effects.
C. Different ways to improve a person’s LQ. D. The connection between LQ and happiness.

The company spent just $5.6 million powering its base AI model, compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars American companies spend.
But R1 gained significant attention this week when the company revealed its shockingly low cost of operation. And it is open-source, which means other companies can test and build upon the model to improve it. The DeepSeek app has been downloaded nearly 2 million times.
Andreessen, who set up Andreessen Horowitz, calls DeepSeek one of the most amazing and impressive achievements that he has ever seen in a post on the Internet. If that potentially world-changing power can be achieved at a significantly reduced cost, it will open up new possibilities and threats to the planet.
Although the cost-saving achievement may be significant, the R1 model hasn’t yet proven it can deal with some of the extremely ambitious (耗资的) AI capabilities for industries that for now still require huge and large amounts of investment.
24. Which makes DeepSeek R1 amazing
A. Its developers. B. Its latest chips. C. Its cost-effectiveness. D. Its application fields.
25. What is Andreessen’s attitude on capabilities of DeepSeek R1
A. Positive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
26. What can be inferred about the RI model
A. It reaches perfection. B. It is dangerous for humans.
C. It still has technology bottle-neck. D. Its cost can’t go down any more.
27. Which is the best title for the text
A. DeepSeek R1’s Limiting Factors B. AI’s High-cost Problem
C. DeepSeek R1: Low-cost Wonder D. AI Competitors: A Big Race
C
When Zhou Longshan started filming birds 10 years ago at Baiyangdian Lake, a major wetland in northern China, he just wanted to record his favorite species — egrets (白鹭). Then, things snowballed. In the following years, the teacher became a bird-watcher, a volunteer ranger at the lake, a photographer documenting over 110 bird species and an educator popularizing bird-related information among students. “Sharing bird-protection knowledge with children can make them feel the beauty of their hometown and the importance of birds, and help them cultivate the habit of protecting birds from an early age,” he says.
Over time, Zhou’s interest in birds continued to grow. In 2021, he was appointed as a bird observer by the natural resources bureau (自然资源局) of Anxin county, responsible for conducting regular patrols (巡逻) and popularizing bird-related knowledge. To monitor birds, Zhou would ride a bike to Baiyangdian almost every day before dawn, whatever the weather. He would record the birds appearing at the lake, along with their locations, where they fed and when they migrated, thus providing reference data for staff members of the natural resources bureau of Anxin county.
Although Zhou takes delight in the role, there are still many challenges. Sometimes, he has to navigate earth embankments on his bike. One summer day in 2021, he fell into a ditch with water more than a meter deep, resulting in water damage to his cellphone.
However, these difficult episodes have not undermined Zhou’s love of birds. Over the years, he has taken more than 100,000 pictures of the birds at Baiyangdian. During his spare time, he reads books on China’s birds, talks with other enthusiasts and university professors, and updates his WeChat official account to introduce Baiyangdian to a wider audience.
These days, Zhou’s schedule is growing busier. In addition to his regular patrols near the lake, he is sometimes invited to local schools to give lectures, keeping students informed about birds and how to protect them. Zhou will retire next month. “I will continue patrolling the lake and photographing the birds to contribute to the protection of birds in my hometown,” he says.
28. Why did Zhou start taking photos of birds at first
A. To share bird-protection knowledge with children. B. To cultivate the habit of protecting birds.
C. To keep track of his favorite species. D. To become a volunteer ranger at the lake.
29. What did Zhou do to track birds
A. He rode a bike to Baiyangdian every day before dawn.
B. He went to Baiyangdian in all weathers.
C. He recorded all the birds along with their locations.
D. He provided reference data for natural resources bureau.
30. What can we infer about Zhou’s job as a bird observer
A. He didn’t meet any challenges while doing the job.
B. He reads books about birds all over the world in his free time.
C. He is invited to local schools to give lectures every day.
D. He uses social media to introduce Baiyangdian to more people.
31. Which of the following best describes Zhou
A. Enthusiastic and controlling. B. Knowledgeable and persistent.
C. Farsighted and reserved. D. Considerate and stubborn.
D
When you finally finish your homework and get to relax, what do you do Do you lie on your bed and scroll through (滚屏) your phone Many people find that this kind of entertainment only brings boredom and emptiness. Contrary to what many people may think, play isn’t just a waste of time. Having the ability to play and relax meaningfully during your leisure time is important.
“Leisure doesn’t improve quality of life unless one knows how to use it effectively,” James Wallman, the author of Time and How to Spend It, told CNBC Make It, explaining that some experiences are “junk experiences” while others are like “superfoods”. The “superfood” activities put you into a state of “flow”, which is “about being in the present zone and really enjoying yourself”, added Wallman. Any pleasurable activity that truly challenges you has the potential to lead to the flow state.
These “superfoods” help you achieve a higher “leisure quotient (LQ)” (玩商). LQ is an index (指数) used to describe one’s ability to relax and play. A high LQ usually means that a person has good control over their life, knows how to develop their potential (潜能) and keeps a balanced lifestyle that makes them healthier and happier, according to China Daily.
Psychological (心理学的) research shows that people with high LQ scores feel happier and generally avoid depression and other mental illnesses. Instead of doing passive activities like scrolling through short videos, people with high LQ scores actively select activities that suit their interests and strengths, giving them continuous positive feedback.
According to Wallman, examples of this positive feedback include: a memorable story you can share with others, a new skill or a different world view, greater engagement with the real world, and improved relationships or a higher social position. Next time you find yourself bored with nothing to do, try engaging in some experiences that can benefit you or add to your life. It’s never too late to improve your LQ!
32. What kind of activities are “superfood” activities according to James Wallman
A. Those that make you energetic. B. Those that help you find something new.
C. Those that are both enjoyable and challenging. D. Those that cause you to feel excited for a while.
33. What does the LQ index measure (测量)
A. The potential to have a successful life. B. The ability to manage stress effectively.
C. The ability to balance health and happiness. D. The skills in meaningful play and relaxation.
34. What can people with a high LQ usually do
A. Follow the same world view as others. B. Make life meaningful, enjoyable and healthy.
C. Select activities which suit their interests only. D. Avoid depression and mental illnesses completely.
35. What is the text about
A. The debate about the use of LQ. B. The importance of LQ and its effects.
C. Different ways to improve a person’s LQ. D. The connection between LQ and happiness.
