My Favorite Travel Books

Matthew Karsten has been traveling around the world for nine years now, and it all started after he was inspired by reading some useful travel books. Here is his personal list of the best reads.

Travels With a Donkey in the Cévennes

Robert Stevenson

It is one of the first travel books I have read, which takes me on a walking journey with Robert and his donkey ( 驴) Mosestine across a mountainous region of France. I get to feel what traveling through 1870’s Europe was like. Robert and his donkey don’t get along well at first, but they finally learn to become travel companions.

World Walk

Steven Newman

World Walk is the story of newspaper writer Steven Newman who packed his bag at the age of 28 to start a four year-long journey around the world on foot. He walked his way across 22 countries in five heartfelt stories of the people he met along the way, as well as wild adventures A lesson of hope and love is told through the exciting backpacking.

On the Road is a classic American travel book. The story, which is based on Kerouac himself, tells us about Dean Moriarty’s cross-country journey across America in the 1940’s. A great read for those who would like to escape the real world for a while and just go where the wind blows them.

The Cat Who Went to Paris

show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can accomplish.

ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models. It lets you type in natural-language prompts and then offers conversational replies. It remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It finds relevant information in its oceans of training data, and changes that into plausible-sounding( 貌似 有理的) paragraphs of text.

You can ask it countless questions and often will get an answer that’s useful. For example, you can ask it encyclopedia questions like, “Explain Newton’s laws( 定律) of motion.” You can tell it, “Write me a poem.” and when it does, say, “Now make it more exciting.” You can ask it to write a computer program that’ll show you all the different ways you can arrange the letters of a word.

A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.

Many people fear that ChatGPT might help students cheat better. But as with many other technology developments, it’s not a simple black-and-white situation. Decades ago, students could copy encyclopedia entries and use calculators, and more recently, they’ve been able to use search engines and Wikipedia. ChatGPT offers new abilities for everything from helping with research to doing your homework for you absolutely.

Dustin York, an associate professor of communication at Maryville University, hopes educators will learn to use ChatGPT as a tool and realize it can help students think critically.

“Educators thought that Google, Wikipedia, and the Internet itself would ruin education, but they did not.” York said, “what worries me most are educators who may actively try to discourage

the acknowledgment of AI like ChatGPT. It is a tool, not a villain(恶棍).”

28．What is ChatGPT?

A．A search engine system. B．A homework query system. C．A navigation system.              D．An intelligent chat system.

29．Which function of ChatGPT is Not mentioned in this passage?

A．Chatting by voice. B．Explaining the meaning of something. C．Creative writing.              D．Computer programming.

30．What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT in this article? A．Negative. B．Objective.

C．Supportive.                                                     D．Not mentioned in the article.

31．What is Not true about the content of this article? A．ChatGPT can help students with their homework. B．ChatGPT reduces students’ ability to think.

C．Some educators consider AI technology harmful to education. D．You can get a useful answer to almost any question in ChatGPT.
