21、People with interesting personalities often have more opportunities open to them because of their ability to maintain the attention of others. When you meet or talk to them,you may feel as though your personality is dull and uninspiring. 【1】
Listen to what others have to say. Most people enjoy talking about their lives and themselves,so become more interested and you will seem more interesting. 【2】 Look them directly in the eyes and ask them questions or comment on what they have just told you,instead of just waiting for your turn to talk about yourself.
【3】 Watch the news,read books,and pay attention. If you don’t know about a particular topic,research it and form an opinion on it. People like to be around others who can carry on conversations about lots of things.
Look for the humour in every situation. A sense of humour can work wonders for a dull personality,so laugh as often as you can and you’ll be a more naturally attractive person. Laughter can also reduce your stress to a degree. 【4】
Accept and love yourself and others. When you dislike yourself and your personality,other people pick up on this,and they may assume they shouldn’t like you,either. 【5】 Judge other people less as well; gossip and speaking poorly of others seem like good short-term entertainment,but in the long run it can make you seem dull and untrustworthy.
A.Form opinions on everything.
B.Make everyone you speak to feel important.
C.Your brain will see these situations as reality.
D.Search for the best in yourself and everyone else.
E.When you feel better, you’re more fun to be around.

G.But it’s relatively easy to develop those personalities that you find so interesting.

23、Many educators fear students will use the artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write their reports or cheat on homework. But other teachers are including it in the classroom.
Donnie Piercey is a teacher in Lexington, Kentucky. He told his 23 5th-grade students to try and outsmart the tool that was creating writing assignments. Piercey says his job is to prepare students for a world where knowledge of AI will be required.
He describes ChatGPT as just the newest technology in his 17 years of teaching that caused concern about the possibility of cheating. They include tools to help with math and spelling as well as Google, Wikipedia and YouTube.
“As educators, we haven’t figured out the best way to use artificial intelligence yet,” he added. “But it’s coming, whether we want it to or not.”
Teaching a lower grade level, Piercey is less worried about cheating than high school teachers. His school system has blocked students from ChatGPT but permits teachers to use it.
Students in Piercey’s class said working with a chatbot makes learning fun.
Students Olivia Laksi and Katherine McCormick, both 10, said they can see the good and bad parts of working with chatbots. They can help students who have trouble putting their thoughts into writing. And there is no limit to the creativity it can add to classwork.
McCormick said students can use it for suggestions, but should not use it to do all the work.
“You shouldn’t take advantage of it,” McCormick said. “You’re not learning anything if you type in what you want, and then it gives you the answer.”

24、We owe our knowledge about the Earth’s geography largely to such explorers as Christopher Columbus and James Cook, who ventured into the seas in search of new lands. Portuguese ship captain Ferdinand Magellan was also such a man, who was the first explorer to sail around the world.
Magellan was interested in the paths Christopher Columbus had taken on his voyages, and after studying the maps of those routes for years, he requested King Manuel in 1513 to allow him to sail to the Spice Islands, but this time he would travel the waters south of South America. He was convinced that the trip would be shorter than if he headed to the southern tip of Africa and then across the Pacific Ocean. Nevertheless, Manuel refused his request. Later on, Magellan applied himself to astronomy ( 天 文 学 ) and navigation for almost two years. In 1517, he took the information gathered from his studies to Charles I of Spain, who agreed to fund his voyage.
In 1519, with 5 ships and 241 men under his command, Magellan sailed across the Atlantic to what is now Rio de Janeiro; he then headed south to find the passage to the Pacific. Luck was not with him, however—he was unable to find that passage before the end of summer, and he adjourned in Puerto San Julian, Argentina, a country in southern South America, where one ship was destroyed, and some of his crew rebelled.
Determined to continue, Magellan managed to restart his voyage in the spring of 1520, but difficulties once again nearly defeated him. The crew went for 98 days without seeing any land, ran out of food, and used up almost all their water. 19 men died before the ships reached Guam, and conflicts with people there prevented them from getting resupplied fully. When they finally reached the Philippines in 1521, Magellan himself was killed in a battle.
Only one ship, with 18 survivors, made it back to Spain in 1522. But the exploration must in one very important respect be considered a success—it paved the way for explorers, merchants, and settlers to sail the Pacific, travelling relatively quickly to new and far-off lands.
【1】Magellan believed that the trip would be shorter if he ________.
A.cut through the Spice Islands
B.went across the Pacific Ocean
C.headed directly to the southern tip of Africa
D.traveled the waters south of South America
【2】The word “adjourned” in the passage most probably means ________.
A.was held up
B.was cheered up
C.gave up
D.sped up
【3】What troubled the team on their way to the Philippines?
A.Not taking along fresh water.
B.Not choosing the right time.
C.Magellan’s unexpected death.
D.Failure to get a full resupply.
【4】What is this passage mainly about?
A.Magellan’s lasting and fruitful persuasion of the kings.
B.Magellan’s tough exploration of sailing round the world.
C.Magellan’s significant influences on Earth’s living space.
D.Magellan’s contribution to people’s knowledge of sailing.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 1952, my father traveled with the United Nations Peacekeeping Organization. He worked on a very large military vessel, and he went where the vessel went . This meant he spent a lot of time away from our home in North Carolina.
As Christmas approached, he called from somewhere remote. He explained to my mother why he would not be celebrating the holiday with us. He was a long way from home and had no way of getting back to his family.
Disappointed as she was, mum understood dad’s situation. She also knew we would be upset, so she told my two sisters, brother and me right away. The news hit me very hard. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without dad. We were all very sad.
I knew he would have tried his best to be with us. Still, I went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart. When we woke up on Christmas morning, we opened the presents mum had put under the Christmas tree in the living room. I don’t remember what gift my brother received that year, but my sisters and I found new Barbie dolls. My sisters’ dolls had fancy clothes and shoes, and mum had placed mine in a pumpkin carriage. We were all happy with our gifts, so we went outside to play. I didn’t want mum to see how gloomy I was because I couldn’t show dad our gifts and say Merry Christmas to him. I could tell mum was feeling sad, too.
We went to play outside and as I was playing, I looked up and saw Santa approaching. I ran inside to tell Mother. She did not believe me and told me not to make up stories. I went back outside to welcome Santa. My brother, sisters and I were all very excited to see a real Santa coming to our home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

We were eager to know what gifts Santa would give us.
