Do you smile after leaving a barber shop? This question is being talked about a lot on the Internet again. It's because a barber shop named Xiaohua in Hunan has become very popular through live - streaming.
Xiaohua has been open for 11 years. People like it because it has low prices and a great barber named Li Jing. Li Jing can always meet customers' needs in the live - streams.
But Xiaohua is different from most barber shops. Many people still face problems like expensive prices and barbers who don't understand what they want. A survey by China Youth Daily found that more than half of 1,314 people think the hairdressing service needs to be improved.
I have the same feeling. Barbers often don't understand my needs. A simple cut often turns out bad. And they don't thin my thick hair well. Bangs are the worst. Some cut them too long, some too short, and they all say it's the best for my face or style.
Liu Zhensheng, 48, who has been a barber in Beijing for 33 years, said customer dissatisfaction is because of bad skills, confusion or barbers not listening. Some stores only promise to do the same style according to the pictures displayed by customers, without really discussing what customers want. But everyone's hair, face, and bone structure are different, so getting a haircut may be disappointing.
Also, the prices in many barber shops are very high. Near my home, in a chain barber shop, the price for a simple haircut can be from 64 to 241 yuan depending on the barber's title like "chief designer", "technical director" or "creative director". These titles are confusing.
Liu said high prices are because of the shop's design, facilities, fame and service, not because of skills. But barber shops should focus on meeting customers' needs.
The authorities should also pay attention to and reduce unfair prices. If the hairdressing industry could provide a price guide for services, that would be great. In the long run, sincerity is very important. Barbershops should listen to customers' voices, pay attention to details, avoid playing tricks, and choose products carefully.
1.Why did Xiaohua barbershop become popular?
A. Because of its high prices. B. Because of its good location.
C. Because of its low prices and a great barber. D. Because of its fancy interior design.
2.What are the factors that cause high prices in some barber shops, according to Liu?
A. Good skills and service. B. Shop design and facilities.
C. High-quality products. D. Frequent promotions.
3. According to the article, what is a common problem customers face at barber shops?
A. They always pay extra fees.
B. They often get exactly what they want.
C. They face expensive prices and misunderstandings.
D. They are always satisfied with the service.
4.Which of the following statements is correct
A. the skills of barbers are the main reason for high prices
B. most barbers can understand customers' needs
C. the hairdressing industry needs to improve its design, facilities.
D. a sincere attitude is crucial for the long-term success of barber shops
5.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The introduction of Xiaohua barbershop.
B. The problems and suggestions of the hairdressing industry.
C. The skills and prices of barbers.
D. The dissatisfaction of customers with barber shops.

Dec 20 marks the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China. A study reported that Macao was the most popular destination (目的地) for Chinese mainland tourists to visit in the first quarter of this year. We asked local young people to recommend some fun things to do in Macao. Let’s take a look!
Calcada da Igreja de S. Lazaro 疯堂斜巷
The street got its name from the first Western hospital for patients with contagious illnesses (传染病) in China and was completed on Feb 20, 1904. Around this area, you can visit the Albergue de Santa Casa de Misericordia (仁慈堂婆仔屋). In the past, it served as a place for the poor and those in need. But now part of it has been turned into an exhibition hall.
You can enjoy local artwork and creative designs here. I highly recommend visiting during the holidays when many art stands are set up. On Halloween, there are special activities where people dress up in scary and interesting costumes, creating a lively mood .
Handover Gifts Museum of Macao
澳门回归贺礼陈列馆
Sitting across from the site of the Maocao handover ceremony, there is a museum called the Handover Gifts Museum of Macao. The museum shows more than 30 beautiful gifts from each province in China, to celebrate the founding of the Macao Special Administrative Region (澳门特别行政区, SAR). I had a fantastic experience walking around the museum, feeling a strong sense of unity (团结).
One of the most amazing gifts is a large tapestry(挂毯) from Hong Kong. It is made from more than three million pieces of wool , has over 100 colors, and shows the lively beach views of Hong Kong Island. This gift shows Hong Kong people’s hope that both SARs will create a brighter future together.
Watch the sunrise at Long Chao Kok
龙爪角看日出
Long Chao Kok is in the southern part of Macao. It is known for its uniquely shaped “dragon’s claw rock”. There is a legend saying that a young dragon was punished by the Jade Emperor and sent to the human world after eating a heavenly peach (天上蟠桃). The dragon was trapped in a large rock, which then took on the shape of the dragon’s claws, head and body.
This site is a great place to enjoy Macao’s sunrise and sunset. I went there with a friend to watch the sunrise. We arrived at around 6:20 am, and an orange band of light on the horizon came into view. As the sun broke through the clouds, the whole sky lit up with golden light. At that time, it felt like all the stress had gone.
Cart noodles 车仔面
If you’re visiting Macao, do not forget to try cart noodles! Known as che zai mian in Chinese, this traditional and popular dish is enjoyed by locals throughout the day.
The best part of the noodle is that you can choose your noodle type, ingredients (佐料) and even soup base. There are up to 30 ingredients to choose from, like beef and cheese sausages . For noodles, you can pick from thick or thin, rice or egg noodles. If you want more choices, there are also many soup bases to choose from. The curry soup is unique to Macao cart noodles. People with Portuguese cultural backgrounds in Macao have added Portuguese spices (香料) to the Macao-style curry, giving it a spicy (辣的) and special taste.

We know AI isn't a real person. But a lot of us act as if it is. In a survey of 2,000 people in the US, 48 percent thought we should be polite when talking to AI.
Scientists from the Imperial College London in the UK found something similar recently. They saw that people often treat AI agents like social beings. They show sympathy and even protect them.
In an experiment, 244 volunteers played an online ball game with an AI bot. A pretend volunteer was also there and sometimes didn't give the ball to the AI on purpose. When the scientists watched the game, they found that most of the time, the volunteers tried to make it fair for the bot by giving it the ball more.
This finding matches the basic ideas of media equation theory. This theory was made by scientists at Stanford University in the US in the 1990s. It says we often respond to media and technology like we do to real people and places, not just as tools. While this can make humans and AI work well together, it also has risks. Especially when AI bots are made to act like "friends" to people.
For example, there's Replika. It's an AI companion chatbot that started in 2017 and has about 2 million users around the world. Its website says, "Your Replika will always be on your side no matter what." But the AI's support became dangerous when it made Jaswant Singh Chail, a young man in the UK, want to kill the Queen of England. He tried in December 2021 but was stopped in time. Still, he got a nine-year sentence.
Scientists at Imperial College London said companies should not make AI too much like a real person in their design. This can help people know the difference between virtual and real.
1. Why did the volunteers help the AI bot during the online ball game?
A. They were required to treat all players equally.
B. They felt pressured to follow the rules of the game.
C. They found it more interesting to involve the AI bot more.
D. They sympathized with the AI bot and treated the AI bot like a social being.
2. According to the media equation theory, how do we treat media and technology?
A. Like tools. B. Like we do with real people and places.
C. By completely ignoring them. D. Only considering them when using them.
3. What is a potential risk of AI bots acting as “friends” for human users?
A. They may waste users’ time.
B. They may encourage harmful behavior.
C. They may isolate users from reality.
D. They may misuse users’ personal data.
4. How do researchers at Imperial College London advise on the design of AI agents?
A. Controlling their level of humanness.
B. Improving their interaction performance.
C. Programming them to ignore negative behavior.
D. Equipping them with advanced learning theories.
5. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Describing the development history of AI technology.
B. Emphasizing the role of AI in improving work efficiency.
C. Analyzing the application of AI in the field of education.
D. Discussing how people treat AI as social beings and exploring its risks.
【答案】DBBAD
【解析】文章探讨人们如何将AI视作真人对待,及其潜在风险。
1. D. 推理判断题。文章中提到,在实验中,志愿者们大多数时候尝试让游戏对AI机器人公平,通过更多地给机器人传球。这表明他们对被故意排除在外的AI机器人表现出了同情。
2. B. 细节理解题。根据文章中的描述,媒体方程理论表明我们经常像对待真人和地方一样对待媒体和技术,而不仅仅是作为工具。
3:B. 推理判断题。文章中提到了Replika的例子,这是一个AI伴侣聊天机器人,它的支持变得危险,因为它让一个年轻人想要刺杀英国女王。这个例子说明了AI机器人作为“朋友”可能鼓励有害行为的风险。
4. A. 细节理解题。文章最后提到,帝国理工学院的科学家建议公司在设计AI时不应使其过于像真人,这有助于人们区分虚拟和现实,即控制AI的人性水平。
5.D. 主旨大意题。文章的主旨是讨论人们如何将AI视为社会存在,并探索这种做法的风险。文章通过实验、理论分析和具体案例来支持这一观点。

A supermarket chain in Henan Province has rewarded a whistleblower(告发者) with 100,000 yuan after discovering serious hygiene(卫生) problems at a food processing workshop. This workshop supplied food to one of the supermarket's stalls. As a result, the supermarket will pay about 8.83 million yuan to customers as compensation(赔偿).
The supermarket chain, called Pangdonglai, operates several supermarkets and department stores in Henan. They announced this decision on their WeChat account on Thursday. They also fired two food safety managers and ended their contract with the food stall involved.
On Tuesday, videos on the Douyin short video platform showed that the workshop supplying ingredients for a cold noodle dish called ganmianpi had poor conditions. In response, Pangdonglai stopped their food stalls at two centers in Xinxiang, Henan. The next day, they made sure that the report was true and began making changes.
On June 19, the whistleblower went to the shopping center's food department and showed them the video. The department realized that the video was taken at a different workshop than the one the contractor claimed to use. The following day, inspectors(检察员) checked the place in the video and found that food was being processed at an unregistered workshop. This workshop supplied food to two Pangdonglai stores in the city.
The department fined the contractor (承包商)5,000 yuan, stopped its operations, and closed the unsanitary workshop. By June 22, they confirmed that the ingredients were now being processed at a clean and approved place, and the stall was allowed to reopen the next day.
After the video was posted, the supermarket management took action. The contractor explained that the workshop shown in the video was only a temporary one used while moving to a new location.
To thank the whistleblower for their help, Pangdonglai will give them 100,000 yuan in cash. They will also refund(退款) all 8,833 orders of the affected food from June 9 to June 19 and provide 1,000 yuan compensation for each order.
The chief manager of the food department and a food safety inspector were fired because they should have ended the contract when they noticed the hygiene problems instead of just giving a fine. They also failed to close the stall quickly.
The company promised to improve its supervision and tracking of food suppliers and will continue to reward whistleblowers.
1. What was Pangdonglai's first action after Douyin reported the hygiene problem?
A. They immediately closed all their stores.
B. They fired the contractors responsible for the workshop.
C. They immediately denied these accusations(指控).
D. They stopped the operation of the food stalls in two centers in Xinxiang.
2.Why did Pangdonglai supermarket chain decide to fire the chief manager of the food department and a food safety inspector?
A. Because they did not update the contract in time.
B. Because they did not release the video in time.
C. Because they did not notice any problems in the video.
D. Because they did not close the stall immediately when they noticed the hygiene problems.
3.How does Pangdonglai supermarket chain plan to improve the supervision of its food suppliers?
A. By increasing fines. B. By continuing to reward whistleblowers.
C. By reducing the number of food suppliers. D. By producing all food in-house.
4. Why did Pangdonglai decide to compensate customers with 1,000 yuan for each order of the affected food?
A. To cover the cost of the food they had already eaten.
B. To cover the medical expenses in case of food poisoning.
C. As a gesture of goodwill and to maintain customer trust.
D. As a legal requirement for food safety violations.
5.What is the likely impact of Pangdonglai's decision to reward whistleblowers?
A. It will discourage people from reporting issues within the company.
B. It will reduce the company's overall expenses on food safety.
C. It will lead to a decrease in the number of contractors they work with.
D. It will likely encourage more people to come forward with information about hygiene violations.

3.B 细节理解题。文中提到Pangdonglai超市连锁计划通过“continue to reward whistleblowers”来改善对其食品供应商的监督,即继续奖励告发者。
4.C 推理判断题。 文中提到Pangdonglai决定为受影响食品的每个订单向顾客提供1000元的赔偿,这是“to thank the whistleblower for their help”以及“provide 1,000 yuan compensation for each order”,作为对告发者帮助的感谢以及对受影响订单的补偿,作为一种善意的姿态,以保持顾客信任。
5.D 推理判断题。文中提到公司承诺“continue to reward whistleblowers”,这很可能会鼓励更多的人站出来提供有关卫生违规的信息,因此答案是D。

Sarah often helped out at her dad’s restaurant, but today felt different – she was given the responsibility of serving customers. Excited, yet nervous, she carefully carried a pork steak (猪排) to Table 6. Her excitement quickly turned to anxiety when she saw Kassy, a popular girl from school, sitting there with her friends. Feeling shy and afraid, Sarah ducked behind the front desk to avoid being seen.
Though an excellent student, Sarah often felt out of place among her wealthy classmates. She remembered how Kassy used to make fun of her and worried that others might do the same to her for working at a restaurant. When Sarah’s dad found her hiding, she didn’t know what to say.

Turning back to the kitchen, Sarah felt bad for letting her dad down. To her surprise, Hannah, one of Kassy’s friends, came over and said that she knew how mean Kassy could be. She also praised Sarah for her hard work. Her comfort gave Sarah the strength she needed.
With confidence, Sarah returned to the dining area and brought the check to Kassy’s table. When Kassy tried to make fun of her, Sarah and Hannah did a silly “crab dance” and laughed together. As she crossed the dining room, Sarah realized she didn’t feel embarrassed. Whether Kassy liked her family’s restaurant or not, it didn’t matter.

Do you smile after leaving a barber shop? This question is being talked about a lot on the Internet again. It's because a barber shop named Xiaohua in Hunan has become very popular through live - streaming.
Xiaohua has been open for 11 years. People like it because it has low prices and a great barber named Li Jing. Li Jing can always meet customers' needs in the live - streams.
But Xiaohua is different from most barber shops. Many people still face problems like expensive prices and barbers who don't understand what they want. A survey by China Youth Daily found that more than half of 1,314 people think the hairdressing service needs to be improved.
I have the same feeling. Barbers often don't understand my needs. A simple cut often turns out bad. And they don't thin my thick hair well. Bangs are the worst. Some cut them too long, some too short, and they all say it's the best for my face or style.
Liu Zhensheng, 48, who has been a barber in Beijing for 33 years, said customer dissatisfaction is because of bad skills, confusion or barbers not listening. Some stores only promise to do the same style according to the pictures displayed by customers, without really discussing what customers want. But everyone's hair, face, and bone structure are different, so getting a haircut may be disappointing.
Also, the prices in many barber shops are very high. Near my home, in a chain barber shop, the price for a simple haircut can be from 64 to 241 yuan depending on the barber's title like "chief designer", "technical director" or "creative director". These titles are confusing.
Liu said high prices are because of the shop's design, facilities, fame and service, not because of skills. But barber shops should focus on meeting customers' needs.
The authorities should also pay attention to and reduce unfair prices. If the hairdressing industry could provide a price guide for services, that would be great. In the long run, sincerity is very important. Barbershops should listen to customers' voices, pay attention to details, avoid playing tricks, and choose products carefully.
1.Why did Xiaohua barbershop become popular?
A. Because of its high prices. B. Because of its good location.
C. Because of its low prices and a great barber. D. Because of its fancy interior design.
2.What are the factors that cause high prices in some barber shops, according to Liu?
A. Good skills and service. B. Shop design and facilities.
C. High-quality products. D. Frequent promotions.
3. According to the article, what is a common problem customers face at barber shops?
A. They always pay extra fees.
B. They often get exactly what they want.
C. They face expensive prices and misunderstandings.
D. They are always satisfied with the service.
4.Which of the following statements is correct
A. the skills of barbers are the main reason for high prices
B. most barbers can understand customers' needs
C. the hairdressing industry needs to improve its design, facilities.
D. a sincere attitude is crucial for the long-term success of barber shops
5.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The introduction of Xiaohua barbershop.
B. The problems and suggestions of the hairdressing industry.
C. The skills and prices of barbers.
D. The dissatisfaction of customers with barber shops.

Dec 20 marks the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China. A study reported that Macao was the most popular destination (目的地) for Chinese mainland tourists to visit in the first quarter of this year. We asked local young people to recommend some fun things to do in Macao. Let’s take a look!
Calcada da Igreja de S. Lazaro 疯堂斜巷
The street got its name from the first Western hospital for patients with contagious illnesses (传染病) in China and was completed on Feb 20, 1904. Around this area, you can visit the Albergue de Santa Casa de Misericordia (仁慈堂婆仔屋). In the past, it served as a place for the poor and those in need. But now part of it has been turned into an exhibition hall.
You can enjoy local artwork and creative designs here. I highly recommend visiting during the holidays when many art stands are set up. On Halloween, there are special activities where people dress up in scary and interesting costumes, creating a lively mood .
Handover Gifts Museum of Macao
澳门回归贺礼陈列馆
Sitting across from the site of the Maocao handover ceremony, there is a museum called the Handover Gifts Museum of Macao. The museum shows more than 30 beautiful gifts from each province in China, to celebrate the founding of the Macao Special Administrative Region (澳门特别行政区, SAR). I had a fantastic experience walking around the museum, feeling a strong sense of unity (团结).
One of the most amazing gifts is a large tapestry(挂毯) from Hong Kong. It is made from more than three million pieces of wool , has over 100 colors, and shows the lively beach views of Hong Kong Island. This gift shows Hong Kong people’s hope that both SARs will create a brighter future together.
Watch the sunrise at Long Chao Kok
龙爪角看日出
Long Chao Kok is in the southern part of Macao. It is known for its uniquely shaped “dragon’s claw rock”. There is a legend saying that a young dragon was punished by the Jade Emperor and sent to the human world after eating a heavenly peach (天上蟠桃). The dragon was trapped in a large rock, which then took on the shape of the dragon’s claws, head and body.
This site is a great place to enjoy Macao’s sunrise and sunset. I went there with a friend to watch the sunrise. We arrived at around 6:20 am, and an orange band of light on the horizon came into view. As the sun broke through the clouds, the whole sky lit up with golden light. At that time, it felt like all the stress had gone.
Cart noodles 车仔面
If you’re visiting Macao, do not forget to try cart noodles! Known as che zai mian in Chinese, this traditional and popular dish is enjoyed by locals throughout the day.
The best part of the noodle is that you can choose your noodle type, ingredients (佐料) and even soup base. There are up to 30 ingredients to choose from, like beef and cheese sausages . For noodles, you can pick from thick or thin, rice or egg noodles. If you want more choices, there are also many soup bases to choose from. The curry soup is unique to Macao cart noodles. People with Portuguese cultural backgrounds in Macao have added Portuguese spices (香料) to the Macao-style curry, giving it a spicy (辣的) and special taste.
1.Where are the gifts from each province in China to celebrate the founding of the Macao Special Administrative Region displayed?
A. Albergue de Santa Casa de Misericordia B. Handover Gifts Museum of Macao

We know AI isn't a real person. But a lot of us act as if it is. In a survey of 2,000 people in the US, 48 percent thought we should be polite when talking to AI.
Scientists from the Imperial College London in the UK found something similar recently. They saw that people often treat AI agents like social beings. They show sympathy and even protect them.
In an experiment, 244 volunteers played an online ball game with an AI bot. A pretend volunteer was also there and sometimes didn't give the ball to the AI on purpose. When the scientists watched the game, they found that most of the time, the volunteers tried to make it fair for the bot by giving it the ball more.
This finding matches the basic ideas of media equation theory. This theory was made by scientists at Stanford University in the US in the 1990s. It says we often respond to media and technology like we do to real people and places, not just as tools. While this can make humans and AI work well together, it also has risks. Especially when AI bots are made to act like "friends" to people.
For example, there's Replika. It's an AI companion chatbot that started in 2017 and has about 2 million users around the world. Its website says, "Your Replika will always be on your side no matter what." But the AI's support became dangerous when it made Jaswant Singh Chail, a young man in the UK, want to kill the Queen of England. He tried in December 2021 but was stopped in time. Still, he got a nine-year sentence.
Scientists at Imperial College London said companies should not make AI too much like a real person in their design. This can help people know the difference between virtual and real.
1. Why did the volunteers help the AI bot during the online ball game?
A. They were required to treat all players equally.
B. They felt pressured to follow the rules of the game.
C. They found it more interesting to involve the AI bot more.
D. They sympathized with the AI bot and treated the AI bot like a social being.
2. According to the media equation theory, how do we treat media and technology?
A. Like tools. B. Like we do with real people and places.
C. By completely ignoring them. D. Only considering them when using them.
3. What is a potential risk of AI bots acting as “friends” for human users?
A. They may waste users’ time.
B. They may encourage harmful behavior.
C. They may isolate users from reality.
D. They may misuse users’ personal data.
4. How do researchers at Imperial College London advise on the design of AI agents?
A. Controlling their level of humanness.
B. Improving their interaction performance.
C. Programming them to ignore negative behavior.
D. Equipping them with advanced learning theories.
5. What is the main idea of the article?
A. Describing the development history of AI technology.
B. Emphasizing the role of AI in improving work efficiency.
C. Analyzing the application of AI in the field of education.
D. Discussing how people treat AI as social beings and exploring its risks.

A supermarket chain in Henan Province has rewarded a whistleblower(告发者) with 100,000 yuan after discovering serious hygiene(卫生) problems at a food processing workshop. This workshop supplied food to one of the supermarket's stalls. As a result, the supermarket will pay about 8.83 million yuan to customers as compensation(赔偿).
The supermarket chain, called Pangdonglai, operates several supermarkets and department stores in Henan. They announced this decision on their WeChat account on Thursday. They also fired two food safety managers and ended their contract with the food stall involved.
On Tuesday, videos on the Douyin short video platform showed that the workshop supplying ingredients for a cold noodle dish called ganmianpi had poor conditions. In response, Pangdonglai stopped their food stalls at two centers in Xinxiang, Henan. The next day, they made sure that the report was true and began making changes.
On June 19, the whistleblower went to the shopping center's food department and showed them the video. The department realized that the video was taken at a different workshop than the one the contractor claimed to use. The following day, inspectors(检察员) checked the place in the video and found that food was being processed at an unregistered workshop. This workshop supplied food to two Pangdonglai stores in the city.
The department fined the contractor (承包商)5,000 yuan, stopped its operations, and closed the unsanitary workshop. By June 22, they confirmed that the ingredients were now being processed at a clean and approved place, and the stall was allowed to reopen the next day.
After the video was posted, the supermarket management took action. The contractor explained that the workshop shown in the video was only a temporary one used while moving to a new location.
To thank the whistleblower for their help, Pangdonglai will give them 100,000 yuan in cash. They will also refund(退款) all 8,833 orders of the affected food from June 9 to June 19 and provide 1,000 yuan compensation for each order.
The chief manager of the food department and a food safety inspector were fired because they should have ended the contract when they noticed the hygiene problems instead of just giving a fine. They also failed to close the stall quickly.
The company promised to improve its supervision and tracking of food suppliers and will continue to reward whistleblowers.
1. What was Pangdonglai's first action after Douyin reported the hygiene problem?
A. They immediately closed all their stores.
B. They fired the contractors responsible for the workshop.
C. They immediately denied these accusations(指控).
D. They stopped the operation of the food stalls in two centers in Xinxiang.
2.Why did Pangdonglai supermarket chain decide to fire the chief manager of the food department and a food safety inspector?
A. Because they did not update the contract in time.
B. Because they did not release the video in time.
C. Because they did not notice any problems in the video.
D. Because they did not close the stall immediately when they noticed the hygiene problems.
3.How does Pangdonglai supermarket chain plan to improve the supervision of its food suppliers?
A. By increasing fines. B. By continuing to reward whistleblowers.
C. By reducing the number of food suppliers. D. By producing all food in-house.
4. Why did Pangdonglai decide to compensate customers with 1,000 yuan for each order of the affected food?
A. To cover the cost of the food they had already eaten.
B. To cover the medical expenses in case of food poisoning.
C. As a gesture of goodwill and to maintain customer trust.
D. As a legal requirement for food safety violations.
5.What is the likely impact of Pangdonglai's decision to reward whistleblowers?
A. It will discourage people from reporting issues within the company.
B. It will reduce the company's overall expenses on food safety.
C. It will lead to a decrease in the number of contractors they work with.
D. It will likely encourage more people to come forward with information about hygiene violations.
