At this school, students are able to find subjects they are interested in, and possibly even find the field they would like to go into after school. They are allowed to choose a subject like biology, math, a foreign language, or study skills like computer or car repair. Some people think this is a good idea, because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future, and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there.

This case has received great interest because it is said that aliens visited when the boy disappeared. Justin Foster, a high school student, was last seen on Friday night. That evening at 8 p.m., Justin’s friends called him to play baseball. Witnesses (目击者) say they saw Justin walking towards his house at 10: 45 p.m. Justin’s sister, Kelly, says she heard her brother return home at about 11 p.m., but she didn’t see him with her own eyes. “I was on bed at that time. Suddenly I was woken up at midnight by a bright light outside my window.” Kelly said. “I pulled back the curtains(窗帘) and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had blue lights all around it. Standing inside were lots of aliens. I was frightened!” Kelly said that the spaceship then moved towards her brother’s bedroom. “There was a flash of light and I heard Justin shout, and then the UFO just disappeared. I’m sure the aliens took him away.” Kelly then ran and woke up her mother. However, Mrs. Foster thought that Kelly was having a bad dream, so she sent her back to bed. Mr. Foster was not home that night. When Justin did not show up for lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police. Some people in Dover also say that they saw aliens that night. “It’s happened to me!” said Mrs. Smith. “The aliens took me aboard the UFO for research. Luckily, they sent me home without any injuries. The whole experience was terrible! I haven’t been sleeping well since I returned home. I think Justin was taken away by them, too.” When asked about whether Justin was taken by aliens, Detective Peterson, who has taken charge of the case, told reporters, “Sometimes people make up stories. There’s really no hard proof(证据) that aliens took him. So we are looking into other possibilities as well. We will not give up until we find out what happened.” 21．Justin was last seen at 10: 45 p.m. on Friday night. 22．According to Kelly, Justin disappeared in his bedroom. 23．Mr. Foster thought Kelly had a bad dream and sent her to her bedroom. 24．Mrs. Smith was once taken away by the aliens. 25．Detective Peterson was not sure if Justin was taken by aliens.

It can create material based on (基于) what is learned from digital books and online passages. Now, three high school students in Cyprus have developed a special robot with their teachers. Why is this robot special? That’s because it uses ChatGPT AI technology. The robot is named AInstein. It is the size of a small adult, and it can also answer questions like humans. AInstein has a screen for a face that appears to show facial expressions. It speaks a North American form of English. And it can tell jokes, like “Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems.” The robot enjoys reading science books. It also enjoys spending time playing the violin. The creators of AInstein want to use technology to improve learning experiences in the classroom. In fact, there might be a place for robots in education. British education expert Anthony Seldon even predicts that robots will get control of the classroom in 2027 and teachers will work as their helpers. One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teachers at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers, and 9-10 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That is a real problem. Some local governments don’t know how to deal with this problem. However, that problem can be partly solved by robots. Robots can teach anywhere and don’t get stressed or tired. They will never move somewhere for an easier, high-paid job. 41．Who developed the robot AInstein? 42．Why is the robot AInstein special? 43．What does the robot AInstein like doing? 44．What is the creators’ purpose of inventing the robot AInstein? 45．Why can robots help deal with the problem of not enough teachers?
