I tried to refuse, but they didn’t listen to me! I really want to leave for somewhere else! Do you think it works? Deep thinking, in 10 seconds.   Now I need to give advice to a teenage girl, who tries to leave for somewhere angrily to run away from weekend classes. First, I should tell her that leaving home must be a wrong way. Next, I should suggest how to solve this problem in a right way. Also, I should try to comfort the girl so that she can calm down and make the right decisions.   Hi, there. I know how mad you feel but it won’t work.   1. Leaving Might Backfire Leaving home can really risk your safety! You may end up in dangerous situations. For example, you may have to sleep in unsafe places or trust wrong people who may put you in trouble. Besides, running away won’t make parents focus on weekend classes. Instead, it will scare them and they may make more rules or keep an eye on you out of fear. This will place more stress on you.   2. Try the Following Instead If face-to-face talks always end up with arguments, a letter will help. In the letter, you can show your feelings—“Too many classes really make me stressed out.” Or you can offer another choice—“Could I change the after-school math class into 2 hours’ self-study on Sundays?” Also, if you find communication with your parents is really hard, ask a trusted aunt or a teacher to help express your opinions to them. They might listen to another adult. Change often takes time, so keep communicating in a right way.   Remember, your feelings are understandable, but your safety matters most. And if you keep feeling upset, turn to your teachers, a school counselor, or Shajie Mail. There is always someone willing to listen to you.   Messages DeepSeek   DeepThink (R1) Search                       23. How many steps does DeepSeek plan to take before it replies? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 24. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “Backfire”? A. He finally realized that someone set a fire to his house and he just lost everything. B. They opened fire first! We have to fire back in order to get a way out, or we'll die! C. Give up your foolish plan because it won’t work and will even add oil to the fire! D. “When she takes the lessons she likes, her eyes are full of fire,” her mother said. 25. According to DeepSeek, what could Sarah say to her parents as another choice? A. “Could I not go to any class on weekends?” B. “You can choose to be parents for another girl!” C. “Could I pick the weekend classes that I enjoy?” D. “I will leave home if you take me to any class.” 26. What does DeepSeek want Sarah to do through the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. To trust every real person she meets. B. To communicate with other real persons. C. To talk with another AI like ChatGPT. D. To listen to someone else more carefully. 主题01 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 9 Dancing Snowflakes (雪花) No two snowflakes are the same.

I’m Sarah, a teenage girl, and my parents always ask me to take classes on weekends. I tried to refuse, but they didn’t listen to me! I really want to leave for somewhere else! Do you think it works? Deep thinking, in 10 seconds.   Now I need to give advice to a teenage girl, who tries to leave for somewhere angrily to run away from weekend classes. First, I should tell her that leaving home must be a wrong way. Next, I should suggest how to solve this problem in a right way. Also, I should try to comfort the girl so that she can calm down and make the right decisions.   Hi, there. I know how mad you feel but it won’t work.   1. Leaving Might Backfire Leaving home can really risk your safety! You may end up in dangerous situations. For example, you may have to sleep in unsafe places or trust wrong people who may put you in trouble. Besides, running away won’t make parents focus on weekend classes. Instead, it will scare them and they may make more rules or keep an eye on you out of fear. This will place more stress on you.   2. Try the Following Instead If face-to-face talks always end up with arguments, a letter will help. In the letter, you can show your feelings—“Too many classes really make me stressed out.” Or you can offer another choice—“Could I change the after-school math class into 2 hours’ self-study on Sundays?” Also, if you find communication with your parents is really hard, ask a trusted aunt or a teacher to help express your opinions to them. They might listen to another adult. Change often takes time, so keep communicating in a right way.   Remember, your feelings are understandable, but your safety matters most. And if you keep feeling upset, turn to your teachers, a school counselor, or Shajie Mail. There is always someone willing to listen to you.   Messages DeepSeek   DeepThink (R1) Search                       23. How many steps does DeepSeek plan to take before it replies? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 24. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “Backfire”? A. He finally realized that someone set a fire to his house and he just lost everything. B. They opened fire first! We have to fire back in order to get a way out, or we'll die! C. Give up your foolish plan because it won’t work and will even add oil to the fire! D. “When she takes the lessons she likes, her eyes are full of fire,” her mother said. 25. According to DeepSeek, what could Sarah say to her parents as another choice? A. “Could I not go to any class on weekends?” B. “You can choose to be parents for another girl!” C. “Could I pick the weekend classes that I enjoy?” D. “I will leave home if you take me to any class.” 26. What does DeepSeek want Sarah to do through the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. To trust every real person she meets. B. To communicate with other real persons. C. To talk with another AI like ChatGPT. D. To listen to someone else more carefully. 【答案】23. B 24. C 25. C 26.
