When 12yearold Nina Mones was in sixth grade, she struggled to keep up with her math class. And as the teacher pushed ahead with new lessons, she fell further and further behind. Then in the fall of 2019, her school, the Phoenix International Academy, brought in Teach to One 360. “I'm in seventh grade now,” Nina proudly said. “It gave me more confidence in myself.”
“This is a model for personalized learning,” said Sheldon H. Jacobson, professor of computer science at the University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign. Teach to One 360, and similar systems, often use data analytics(分析学) to follow students' progress, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and adjust teaching methods accordingly. This not only helps students achieve their learning goals more effectively but also encourages a more interactive learning environment.
Until 2020, 27 schools across 11 states have adopted Teach to One 360. Still, getting schools to sign on to the program has been a challenge. Some teachers are unwilling to try new teaching methods, while others worry that these new forms of technology could perhaps lead to the elimination of their jobs. Schools are often under pressure to follow a traditional curriculum(课程) with textbooks and teacherled classes to ensure that they cover the content needed for standardized tests. Many worry that turning away from traditional practices could affect test results, which would then affect school rankings and the funding these schools receive.
There is also the cost of purchasing the program—buying computers for students, adding math teachers, and reconstructing classrooms to meet the requirements of different teaching methods. The total costs involved with such programs can vary dramatically, with most school systems having to depend on grants(拨款) in order to cover them.
“You can have the best program in the world, but if you don't have good operation of it, it's all for nothing,” said Alfred Córdova, the principal at Taos Middle School.

A. Teachers are eager to try new teaching methods.
B. Schools have plenty of funding to support the program.
C. Traditional textbooks and teacherled classes are no longer required.

ChatGPT, a chatbot model developed by USbased AI research laboratory OpenAI, has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities.
It can write emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City's Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams.
Many more welcome this app, claiming that, like most technological advances and groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of higher education.
Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make preparations for including AI in their syllabus(教学大纲). They can start by offering related courses, because by understanding how it works, students can make better use of it. Besides, students with good knowledge of AI are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job, as an increasing number of jobs are being done by computer programmes—some in cooperation with humans. AIpowered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses. As for professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting with students.
Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AIpowered applications entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education. Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology.
( ) 5. Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT?
A. ChatGPT can write emails and computer codes quickly.
B. Some professors might not perform their duties properly.
C. Students would have conversations with each other via it.
D. Students might seek help from it in completing the exams.
( ) 6. What is the author's attitude towards AI applications in education?
A. Fearful.
B. Disapproving.
C. Supportive.
D. Uncertain.
( ) 7. How can AI benefit students of higher education?
A. It offers students an increasing number of jobs.
B. It personalizes students' learning experience.
C. It equips students with competitive skills to cooperate with humans.
D. It handles uninteresting tasks so students can better focus on learning.
( ) 8. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. We should guard against AI apps.
B. AI will be more widely used in education.
C. The future of education relies on AI apps.
D. Humans will be left behind by technology.
