(10)發(fā)布:2025/1/1 15:0:2組卷:2引用:3難度:0.6612.By my mid-20s,I'd finished my master in psychology,and I was working in Dublin as a health researcher.It was mostly data and statistics work staring at a screen.I was earning more than most of my friends,living the city life,going out at weekends.I had a good pension(養(yǎng)老金) and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry.I was really unhappy.
I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love.As a child,I'd always been involved in the outdoors,and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school.I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month,I'd gone camping with them.I absolutely loved it. It was like switching on a light bulb.This was what I'd been missing.
I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid,and by August I was working my usual job in the week,and I was a climbing club leader at weekends.I loved connecting with nature,connecting with other people.
Through all this,I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies(療法).It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors.I began taking courses in wild therapy,forest bathing and ecopsychology.I left my government job and in July 20201 launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland,which is booming now.
I'd thought I'd always live in a city,but I moved to Tipperary last year to live at the foot of a mountain surrounded by nature.If I'm feeling stressed,I can step outside in my bare foot and stand on the grass to ground myself.In Dublin,the front door felt like a barrier—I had to have my keys,my phone,and my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space.My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks.My salary has halved for the moment but I've adjusted.I've never looked back.

Losing is never fun.From a young age children know that winning is the best result.As parents,we can talk to children about the importance of everyone having a chance to win;we can teach our children to be happy for their friends when a friend wins.
As children grow older they will be exposed to more and more competjye.aiion.It is important that we teach our children to learn to "bounce back" from losses,to experience loss in a positive way and to keep on going even when they don't achieve the desired outcome.
By teaching children how to be resilient(適應性強的),we can prepare them for adult life in the future.Our children can learn to compete for fun and learn how to bounce back from life's failures and disappointments.
We can talk to our children about competition.We can teach by examples and show our kids that losing a game or failing a test is not the end.Losing is simply a chance to try again and a chance to become more successful.
Raising emotionally healthy children is very important for the future generation and by teaching our children the above principles we can help them to overcome the difficulties of life and they will learn to compete in healthy ways throughout their lives.

According to Jihyun Kim,the lead author of the study,the hope is that by understanding how students relate to AI-teachers,engineers and computer scientists can design them to easily integrate into the education experience.
"To use machine teachers effectively we need to understand students' views on machine teachers their leaning experiences with them and more," Kim says. "This line of research is needed to design effective machine teachers that can actually facilitate positive learning experiences."
AI teaching assistants can help ease a teacher's workload,such as by responding to commonly asked questions by students.These questions,which often pear each semester and become numerous in online classes with hundreds of students,can become a large task for a teacher.The quick delivery of answers also helps students.
An example of an AI teaching assistant is one named Jill Watson that was created by a researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology.Jill was fed the thousands of questions and answers commonly asked in the researcher's online class that he'd taught over the years.With some additional learning and adjustments,Jill was eventually able to answer the students' commonly asked questions accurately without any human assistance as if she was one of the researcher's human teaching assistants.
"I hope our research findings help us find an effective way to incorporate AI agents into education," Kim says. "By adopting an AI agent as an assistant for a simple and repetitive task,teachers would be able to have more things scheduled such as meeting with students and developing teaching strategies."
(1)What kind of AI teaching assistants can students easily accept?
(2)What do researchers need to do to design effective AI teaching assistants?
(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
With the help of AI-based teaching assistants,human teachers can not only be relieved from heavy work but also have more time to answer commonly asked questions by students.
(4)Explain how AI technology can be used in a different field in our life. (about 40 words)發(fā)布:2025/1/1 15:0:2組卷:48引用:4難度:0.5615.The Best Eco-Friendly Gifts For the eco-conscious,we've rounded up our favorite eco-friendly gifts to send to your love.

The 24 solar terms begins with Start of Spring followed by Rain Water,Insects Awaken…and ends up with Minor Cold and Major Cold.Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice are two days of the year with the longest and shortest amount of daylight respectively,while Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox are days with the most balanced amount of daytime and nighttime.Through these four parts,a year is divided into four part:Spring Summer,Autumn and Winter.
In ancient times this system not only guided agricultural production,instructing farmers to expect the changes in temperature,spring planting and autumn harvest but also directed Chinese folk customs.For example,Winter Solstice was the first one set among 24 terms and later developed into a festival to worship Heaven and ancestors.Every year at Winter Solstice,emperors of Ming and Qing dynasties would go to the temple of Heaven to hold a ceremony to worship Heaven,for good weather for their crop,and peace and prosperity for the country.
Nowadays,the 24 solar terms could not only be applied to farming but also guide Chinese everyday life.They remind people to adapt to the changes in the seasons through suitable food and cultural rituals (文化儀式).Seasonal customs are sill the rage such as eating spring pancakes at Start of Spring,sweeping ancestors' tombs at Qing Ming,gaining weight to keep warm at Start of Autumn and eating nutritious food to store energy at Start of Winter.They have actually became important rituals in Chinese life.
The 24 solar terms is a common cognitive system among Chinese.It reflects the emotional bond,the wisdom and creativity of Chinese,who respect and live in harmony with nature.

I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve because I prefer to get it done quickly.I certainly don't enjoy shopping.It doesn't matter when I shop-I probably won't buy gifts that people will want anyway.I just choose from whatever is there.I am never disappointed because I don't know what to buy for others before I get to the shop,and I don't care about getting it at the best price.My friends call me last-minute shopper.
Lucy Collins,34,from Liverpool
I've always finished all my shopping by the middle of August.I buy when things are cheap and when I can afford to.I also enjoy trying to buy as many gifts as possible at less than the full price.This year,I've spent £230 and saved £695 on the prices.
I think Christmas is a magical time so I like looking for gifts throughout the year.I also like knowing I've bought presents that people will enjoy,rather than picking through whatever is left in the shops on Christmas Eve.
Frankie Bircham,31,from Hertfordshire
I've always finished shopping by the end of September.I like the satisfaction of giving people presents they want-I don't like "Oh,that'll do".I prefer to buy online so I can compare prices to make sure I'm getting the best possible deal.It's cheaper than travelling into London to go shopping and I can easily return anything I don't like when it arrives.
Andi Euridge,40,from London
I start my shopping in January and have always finished it by November.I don't like onlir shopping because then you have the craziness of parcels not arriving in time.
I live on a tight budget and I cannot afford to buy all my gifts with one month's pay.So I prefer picking up a present here and there throughout the year.

John Grady,an ecologist,and his team considered the possibility-warm-blooded animals need a lot to fuel their metabolism(新陳代謝).
Perhaps colder waters are just richer in small fish?But they found that at higher,colder places,there isn't actually much more food around.It's more that warm-blooded animals are eating a much bigger share of it than their cold-blooded competitors.
The real explanation is simple.An animal's speed,swiftness,and intelligence depend on its metabolism,which in turn depends on its temperature.Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions,they remain fast and attentive.By contrast,the fish they hunt become slower and duller.At some tipping point of temperature,seals,dolphins,and penguins start out swimming their prey(獵
物).They become more likely to come upon targets and outpace the cold-blooded predators of their own.
In Grady's words,"Warm-bodied predators are favoured where preys are slow,stupid and cold." That's why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator,but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals.By keeping food to themselves in the poles,these creatures can then specialize on specific types of prey,which makes them more likely to split into separate species.The killer whales of the North Pacific,for example,include mammal-eating transients and fish-eating,year-round residents.
But the world is changing.It's likely that the surface of the oceans will warm by 2 to 3℃ within this century.Grady's team estimates that every time the ocean's surface warms by 1℃,populations of sea mammals will fall by 12%,and populations of seals and sea lions will fall by 24%.
But "predictions are hard," Donna Hauser from the University of Alaska Fairbanks notes. "Polar bears are losers of a warming world,but some populations are still doing well.Some groups of whales have changed the timing of their migrations;others are hunting in deeper,colder waters.These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates.Maybe they just need to find the places where fish remain slow,stupid and cold."
(1)Why are there more types of warm-blooded predators near the poles?
A.Because there is more food.
B.Because there are fewer enemies.
C.Because they are faster and wiser.
D.Because they consume less energy.
(2)The author mentions the killer whales to show
A.the benefit of biological evolution
B.food preference of different sea mammals
C.the distinction of specific types of predators
D.the advantage of constant body temperature
(3)What is Donna Hauser's attitude towards the future of the sea mammals?
A.Positive.
B.Negative.
C.Neutral.
D.Sceptical.
(4)Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Are the Poles Heaven for Sea Predators?
B.How Do Sea Mammals Track Their Prey?
C.Why Do the Warm-Blooded Like Food Cold?
D.Is the World Too Hot for the Warm-Blooded?發(fā)布:2025/1/1 15:0:2組卷:36引用:3難度:0.5
