() AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is a super cool and fast - changing technology. It’s all around us and making our lives different in many ways. AI means machines or computer systems that can do things just like we do, like learning, solving problems, and making decisions. You probably know about voice - controlled helpers like Siri or Deep Seek. They use AI to understand what we say. When you ask them something, they look through a lot of information really fast to give you the best answer. In hospitals, AI is a big help. It can look at X-rays and MRIs. This helps doctors find diseases earlier and better. Sometimes, AI can see things in the pictures that doctors might miss. AI is also great for businesses. Chatbots (聊天机器人), which are like little computer helpers, use AI. They can answer common questions, work out simple problems, and tell you about products all day and night. This makes customers (顾客) happy and means companies (工厂) don’t need so many people to answer the phones. But AI isn’t perfect. One big worry is that it might take some people’s jobs. Since AI can do a lot of simple jobs, some workers might lose their jobs. Another problem is about our private (私人的) information, AI needs a lot of data (数据), and we’re not always sure how that data is collected, kept safe, and used. Even with these problems, the future of AI looks really good and bright. It will keep changing different parts of our lives and bring us more convenience (方便) and new ideas.8. What is AI? A． Machines or computer systems that act like people.B． A magic thing that makes machines sing.C． A new kind of toy.9. What does AI do in hospitals? A． Make doctors work more.B． Make new hospitals.C． Help doctors look at medical pictures to find diseases.10. What is one problem with AI? A． It costs too much to use.B． It makes some people lose their jobs.C． It’s too slow to do anything.11. Which part of a magazine may the passage be taken from? A． Art.B． Health.C． Science.

A simple and great idea is to study in groups. When you study with classmates, you can talk about the problems you meet. This way, you won’t feel so tired of studying alone. Make study surprising. If you like surprises, write different study tasks (任务) on pieces of paper, like “do math exercises for 15 minutes” or “recite (背诵) English words”. Then pick one. You can change it if your friends agree. 13 Add games into study. Make study into a game. For example, when learning history, you can have a test game. 14 One student can be the game host (主持人) to ask questions, and others are players to answer. 15 One of my classmates used to hate studying math. Our teacher suggested giving him small gifts when he did well in math tests. It worked at first. But later, he didn’t care much. Then, the teacher gave him some more difficult math tasks. Now he is used to them. Hope you enjoy your study.A． In this way, you’ll have a feeling that you’re making a choice.B． It’s not easy to be a student.C． How can we make study more interesting?D． Find more difficult study tasks.E． Let one student control the game and others join in. 二、完形填空() 阅读下面短文， 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中， 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 There was a deaf old man living alone in a small house with a beautiful garden.
