Emily and George have lived next door as long as they can remember. When they were little, they used to play together. They were good friends, though they sometimes fought over toys or quarreled about what game they would play. As they grew older, they played together less. Emily preferred to be with girls, and George, boys, of course. When they were about fifteen, they almost stopped speaking to each other, not because they disagreed with each other about anything, but just because they belonged to different groups. Emily was developing into a very good student, while George was more interested in sports. Emily began to study French, and she liked French so much that she began to write plays in French. She also liked TV programs, and for some reason, she enjoyed watching football games very much. Her mother used to say, “Emily, I’ve never heard of a girl who likes football as much as you do.” Mrs. Mason simply did not approve of (赞成) her daughter’s interest. Football, she felt, was for men and boys.
While Emily was working on her French lessons or watching football games on TV, George was working for his father in his store after school. He liked selling things to people. When George wasn’t working at the store, he would like to be with a group of his friends who were organizing a football team.
One day, when George was going home in the afternoon, he looked in the window of Emily’s living room and he saw that she was watching a football game on TV. He walked up and knocked at the door. Emily was surprised to see him, but she asked him to come in, and they watched the rest of the game together. Emily and George are good friends again. They still have different ideas about things sometimes, but they agree with each other that football is the world’s best game. Mrs. Mason doesn’t seem to disapprove of her daughter’s interest in football as much as she used to.
24. It is clear that Emily’s mother________.
A. has no interest in sports at all B. is reasonable in Emily’s growth
C. doesn’t want George to play with Emily D. is helpful in Emily’s French studying
25. According to the passage, we can infer that________.
A. Emily will join a football club B. Emily’s mother will let Emily keep her hobby
C. George will organize a football team of his own D. George’s dad will stop George from playing football
26. Which is probably the best title of this passage?
A. Interest Matters B. Sweet Memory C. The Best Game D. Good Neighbors
Now, the VOA Special programme WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
Today, we will show the word “waste”. It is something people tell us not to do. At home, parents tell us not to waste food. In the classroom, teachers tell us not to waste time. On a sports team, coaches tell us not to waste energy (力气).
Waste often happens because we use something too much or because we do not use it well.
We often use “waste” in disagreements. If we are unhappy with someone, we can say: “Don’t waste my time.” And if you are not happy with something you did, you can say, “Well, that was a complete waste of time.”
We also find it in some useful expressions. The first one is “Haste makes waste.” “Haste” means doing something very quickly. “Haste makes waste” means if you move or do something in a hurry, you could make mistakes. And then it takes more time to correct mistakes. So, if you see your friends doing homework in a hurry, you can suggest, “Be careful with your work, you might make mistakes and then our teacher will make you do it again. Haste makes waste, you know.”
The other common expression is: “Waste Not, Want Not.” This means that if you never waste anything, especially food or money, you will always have it when you need it the most.
Now let’s hope learning about “waste” in this Words and Their Stories was not a “complete waste of your time.”
I’m Anna Matteo!
Listen again next week for another Words and Their Stories programme from VOA.
27. In Para.2, the writer shows the meaning of “waste” mainly ________.
A. by telling stories B. by using pictures C. by comparing facts D. by giving examples
28. According to the passage, “Haste makes waste” in Para.5 means ________ in Chinese.
A. 白费唇舌 B. 水滴石穿 C. 欲速则不达 D. 万事开头难
29. We can say “________” when some students throw their old books.
A. Don’t waste energy. B. Don’t waste my time.
C. Haste makes waste. D. Waste Not, Want Not.
30. This passage may be from ________.
A. a story book B. a grammar book C. a radio programme D. an English dictionary
From AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny stuff. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, will it take the place of comedy writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe(爱丁堡边缘艺术节), running from Aug 4 to 28.
Anyone can put on a show at the Festival, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of the Festival’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co-maker.
Comedian(喜剧演员)Pierre Novellie said that it will take a long time for AI to get good at creating comedy. “Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near.” Pierre told Sky News. “Even human comedians have difficulty telling their jokes for the right people at the right time. But that’s what’s interesting about stand-up and fun.”
But Comedian Peter Bazely at the Festival said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. “In today’s world, many artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, but I actually hope that AI will do exactly that one day.”
The reasons for people wanting to use AI are certainly understandable, but the dangers they bring to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From worries in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world.
31. What can we know about this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe?
A. It lasted for over a month. B. Even robots took part in the show.
C. All the jokes from the robots were very funny. D. Everyone used AI to make jokes at the festival.
32. What does the underlined sentence “Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near.” mean?
A. Creating comedy is still very difficult for AI. B. Comedy is a good way for AI to get near humans.
C. AI is able to create good comedy now. D. AI successfully created comedy at last at the Festival.
33. Which of the following might Comedian Peter Bazely agree?
A. It will take a long time for AI to get good at creating comedy.
B. In today’s world, few artists are worried that AI could do their jobs for them.
C. AI brings dangers to many people’s jobs.
D. It is a good idea that AI will do many artists’ jobs one day.
34. What is probably the writer’s attitude (态度) towards AI?
A. Supportive. B. Certain. C. Worried. D. Excited.
35. What is the structure of this passage?
A. ①/②/③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①/②/③④⑤ D. ①②/③/④⑤
IX.任务型阅读
I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates.
He was handsome with blond hair, so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.
One day, our teacher, Mr.Sims, announced that we would have a field trip. We decided to go to an amusement park. My classmates were excited. I sat back and looked at them, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. To my surprise, Danny stood up and said simply, “I won’t go with you. My dad hurt his back and lost his job. I am not asking my parents for money.”
“Danny. I’m very proud of you for understanding the situation that your parents are in.” Mr.Sims replied. “But the trip is at the end of the month; we have plenty of time to raise money for it.” While walking home from school that day, I noticed three boys talking with Danny. I was a little worried that they were giving him a hard time. But as I got closer, I found they were discussing how to raise money for the trip.
By standing up and admitting (承认) he was poor, Danny changed my life. I no longer felt I had to lie about my family’s situation. As for Danny, I will remember his courage and honesty forever.

Emily and George have lived next door as long as they can remember. When they were little, they used to play together. They were good friends, though they sometimes fought over toys or quarreled about what game they would play. As they grew older, they played together less. Emily preferred to be with girls, and George, boys, of course. When they were about fifteen, they almost stopped speaking to each other, not because they disagreed with each other about anything, but just because they belonged to different groups. Emily was developing into a very good student, while George was more interested in sports. Emily began to study French, and she liked French so much that she began to write plays in French. She also liked TV programs, and for some reason, she enjoyed watching football games very much. Her mother used to say, “Emily, I’ve never heard of a girl who likes football as much as you do.” Mrs. Mason simply did not approve of (赞成) her daughter’s interest. Football, she felt, was for men and boys.
While Emily was working on her French lessons or watching football games on TV, George was working for his father in his store after school. He liked selling things to people. When George wasn’t working at the store, he would like to be with a group of his friends who were organizing a football team.
One day, when George was going home in the afternoon, he looked in the window of Emily’s living room and he saw that she was watching a football game on TV. He walked up and knocked at the door. Emily was surprised to see him, but she asked him to come in, and they watched the rest of the game together. Emily and George are good friends again. They still have different ideas about things sometimes, but they agree with each other that football is the world’s best game. Mrs. Mason doesn’t seem to disapprove of her daughter’s interest in football as much as she used to.

Now, the VOA Special programme WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
Today, we will show the word “waste”. It is something people tell us not to do. At home, parents tell us not to waste food. In the classroom, teachers tell us not to waste time. On a sports team, coaches tell us not to waste energy (力气).
Waste often happens because we use something too much or because we do not use it well.
We often use “waste” in disagreements. If we are unhappy with someone we can say: “Don’t waste my time.” And if you are not happy with something you did, you can say, “Well, that was a complete waste of time.”
We also find it in some useful expressions. The first one is “Haste makes waste.” “Haste” means doing something very quickly. “Haste makes waste” means if you move or do something in a hurry, you could make mistakes. And then it takes more time to correct mistakes. So, if you see your friends doing homework in a hurry, you can suggest, “Be careful with your work, you might make mistakes and then our teacher will make you do it again. Haste makes waste, you know.”
The other common expression is: “Waste Not, Want Not.” This means that if you never waste anything, especially food or money, you will always have it when you need it the most.
Now let’s hope learning about “waste” in this Words and Their Stories was not a “complete waste of your time.”
I’m Anna Matteo!
Listen again next week for another Words and Their Stories programme from VOA.

From AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny stuff. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, will it take the place of comedy writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe(爱丁堡边缘艺术节), running from Aug 4 to 28.
Anyone can put on a show at the Festival, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of the Festival’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co-maker.
Comedian(喜剧演员)Pierre Novellie said that it will take a long time for AI to get good at creating comedy. “Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near.” Pierre told Sky News. “Even human comedians have difficulty telling their jokes for the right people at the right time. But that’s what’s interesting about stand-up and fun.”
But Comedian Peter Bazely at the Festival said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. “In today’s world, many artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, but I actually hope that AI will do exactly that one day.”
The reasons for people wanting to use AI are certainly understandable, but the dangers they bring to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From worries in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world.
31. What can we know about this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe?
A. It lasted for over a month. B. Even robots took part in the show.
C. All the jokes from the robots were very funny. D. Everyone used AI to make jokes at the festival.
32. What does the underlined sentence “Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near.” mean?
A. Creating comedy is still very difficult for AI. B. Comedy is a good way for AI to get near humans.
C. AI is able to create good comedy now. D. AI successfully created comedy at last at the Festival.
33. Which of the following might Comedian Peter Bazely agree?
A. It will take a long time for AI to get good at creating comedy.
B. In today’s world, few artists are worried that AI could do their jobs for them.
C. AI brings dangers to many people’s jobs.
D. It is a good idea that AI will do many artists’ jobs one day.
34. What is probably the writer’s attitude (态度) towards AI?
A. Supportive. B. Certain. C. Worried. D. Excited.
35. What is the structure of this passage?
A. ①/②/③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①/②/③④⑤ D. ①②/③/④⑤
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了人工智能在喜剧行业的运用以及作者的担忧。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Anyone can put on a show at the Festival, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. ”可知,机器人也加入了表演,故选B。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near.”和“Even human comedians have difficulty telling their jokes for the right people at the right time.”可知,即使是人类喜剧演员也很难在合适的时间把笑话讲给合适的人听。说明对于人工智能来说,创作喜剧仍然非常困难。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In today’s world, many artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, but I actually hope that AI will do exactly that one day.”可知,Peter Bazely希望机器人能够做很多艺术家的工作,故选D。
【34题详解】
观点态度题。根据“The reasons for people wanting to use AI are certainly understandable, but the dangers they bring to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real”可知,人工智能给许多人的工作带来的危险正变得越来越真实,因此作者对于人工智能很担忧,故选C。
【35题详解】
篇章结构题。根据全文内容可知,第一段主要引出话题;第二段讲述机器人加入了音乐界表演;第三段四段讲述Peter的观点;第五段总结全文,表达作者的担忧。故选A。

I was a schoolgirl in Grade 7 when Danny came to my school and became one of my classmates.
He was handsome with blond hair, so many girls in my class liked him very much. Every day, his parents picked him up in an old car. We all realized he was from a poor family. I had a poor family as well, but I just hid it from everyone. I was afraid the kids in my class would leave me if they knew the truth.
One day, our teacher, Mr.Sims, announced that we would have a field trip. We decided to go to an amusement park. My classmates were excited. I sat back and looked at them, knowing that my parents did not have the money to send me. To my surprise, Danny stood up and said simply, “I won’t go with you. My dad hurt his back and lost his job. I am not asking my parents for money.”
“Danny. I’m very proud of you for understanding the situation that your parents are in.” Mr.Sims replied. “But the trip is at the end of the month; we have plenty of time to raise money for it.” While walking home from school that day, I noticed three boys talking with Danny.
