• 5．Sometimes the simple act of being outside every day can be good to you.We often forget about what nature has to offer by staying inside too much.Going outside，you'll probably be exposed to numerous sensations.You might hear the crinkle of leaves under your feet，concentrate on how the breeze cools your skin，and feel the sun offering its natural warmth.
     Time outside also reminds you how you share your time on Earth with countless creatures and that you must live in harmony with jye.aim.The more often you encounter animals in their natural habitats，the easier it will be to recall why it's so important to treat the outdoors with respect.After coming in contact with a squirrel，for example，you may be especially careful to throw your trash away in the nearest garbage can in case of some harmful leftover food.That's because you've just been reminded that you're not the only living thing to come in contact with what's now rubbish.
     Spending too much time indoors may cause us to become too isolated from others，especially if we use up much time in front of computer screens.It seems that a computer connected to the Internet allows you to share parts of your world with other people，but actually it can also make us feel more disconnected from others for lack of face-to-face communication.The time outside with a loved one allows you to take part in a shared experience.For instance，you can call attention to a type of flower that's just started blooming and allow your companions to marvel at its beauty.That's a similar shared experience.
     Anyhow，it is not as hard as you might imagine.You may just decide to start an outdoor practice that takes you outside for a certain amount of time，preferably every day.The last 15 minutes of your lunch break strolling outside with a friend and some after-dinner family time discussing your days can be good options.Get off the computer and head outside!You'll feel how your choice pays off.
  
  （1）According to paragraph 1，going outside offers an opportunity for people to

  .
  A．enjoy sensory experience
  B．bring back distant memories
  C．a(chǎn)chieve better concentration
  D．participate in simple activities
  （2）Why does the author mention a squirrel in paragraph 2？

  
  A．To present the means of feeding animals.
  B．To show the consequence of littering trash.
  C．To stress the significance of experiencing nature.
  D．To discuss the possibility of encountering wildlife.
  （3）According to the passage，those spending most time indoors may suffer from

  .
  A．a(chǎn)ttention disorder
  B．loneliness attack
  C．Internet addiction
  D．communication barrier
  （4）Which of the following is the best title？

  
  A．Time Outside Involves A Shared Experience.
  B．Too Much Time Indoors Does Great Harm.
  C．Going Outdoors Gives A Different Perspective.
  D．A Daily Exposure to Nature Makes a Difference.

• 6．One Concern is an AI company（人工智能公司）in California.It is using machine learning and AI to help firefighters.The company hopes its software（軟件） can make exact predictions about earthquake damage.It can tell firefighters how to plan for an earthquake and how to do their jobs better when it happens.
  Nicole Hu，a technology officer from OneConcern，says the key is to feed the computers a lot of data（數(shù)據(jù)）about an area.The data may include information about homes and other buildings，the natural environment，and the size of an earthquake.The computers then use the information to make predictions about what would happen if there were an earthquake in the area.It then uses data from past earthquakes to see whether its predictions are any good，and changes its predictive models accordingly.
  Gregory Deierlein，earthquake engineer at the Stanford University，says one of the most surprising things about the company*s software is its ability to make use of data from an earthquake as it's happening，and to change its predictions in real time.
  In the past，researchers would collect data after an event and a few years later they'd produce new models，says Deierlein.Now the new models appear in a matter of minutes.
  DanGhiorso leads the WoodsideFire Protection District （區(qū)）near San Francisco，which covers about 32 square miles.He says in the past，when an earthquake hit，he'd have to make educated guesses （based on experience and training） about what parts of this district might be badly damaged and then drive to each place to have a look around.He hopes One Concern\ software will change that. "Instead of driving thirty-two square miles，in fifteen minutes on a computer I can get a good idea of the damage，" he says. ''Instead of me taking my educated guess，they're putting science behind the predictive models."
  
  （1）What do we know about the software's predictions？

  
  A．They can tell people the size of an earthquake.
  B．They are about when an earthquake may happen.
  C．They are based on data from many different areas.
  D．They can be made before and during an earthquake.
  （2）What is an advantage of the software according to Deierlein？

  
  A．It can make predictions very fast.
  B．It is sold at very low prices.
  C．It has many different uses.
  D．It can be used by common people.
  （3）What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to？

  
  A．How to save people during earthquakes.
  B．How Ghiorso gets to know earthquake damage.
  C．How to train firefighters to make guesses.
  D．How Ghiorso looks at new predictive models.
  （4）How does Ghiorso feel about the new technology？

  
  A．Worried.
  B．Uncaring.
  C．Hopeful.
  D．Doubtful.

     When the COVID-19 broke out，I created my own bilingual（雙語的）official account online to share my views of life and learning experience.As for me，the joy of studying Chinese became that of spreading Chinese.
     Chinese has created unlimited opportunities in my life and opened the door to a new world for me，making my dream come true.I hope you will join me to learn Chinese，to understand Chinese culture，to feel the charm of Chinese language and Chinese culture，and to give yourself a chance to create unlimited possibilities.
