Gossip is talking about someone’s private (私人的) life in a way that could hurt or make them uncomfortable if they found out. People often repeat gossip, so it spreads quickly. Sometimes people gossip to be mean to someone they do not like. Sometimes people gossip to show off that they know a secret. Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. Repeating it can hurt others. Think about how you would feel if people gossiped about your secrets. However, if you hear about something dangerous—like someone walks on train tracks (铁轨) to school—telling a trusted adult is not gossip; it’s about keeping someone safe. Why It Hurts Gossiping can be uncomfortable, especially when it comes from friends you care about. This kind of negative talk breaks trust, spreads rumors, and can end friendships. How to Deal with It If you want to stop gossip without losing friends, here is some advice: 1. Set Clear Rules Tell your friends honestly that you don’t feel good talking about others’ private lives. If they forget, remind them kindly. Thank them when they respect your rule. This helps build a trusting friendship. 2. Focus on Good News When you chat with your friends, share something positive. Talk about a holiday plan, a fun trip, or an interesting story. Discussing happy things makes gossip less interesting and keeps conversations friendly. 3. Change the Topic If your friends start gossiping, turn to a safe subject. Ask about hobbies, movies, or news. For example, “ ▲ ?” Another more direct way is to say, “This conversation is starting to feel like gossip to me, which makes me uncomfortable, so let’s talk about something else.” 4. Know When to Walk Away “You know, I’d love to chat but…” might be the easiest way to deal with those who gossip. In this way, you can leave them without an ear to hear the things that may make you unhappy. By understanding gossip and using these tips, you can protect yourself and others, building friendships based on kindness and respect instead of rumors and hurt. 36. Gossip (G) or Not (N)? ________a) Talking about something about a new movie you saw with your friend. ________b) Making up a story that your classmate is moving to another city. ________c) Hearing that someone brings a knife or lighter to school and telling a teacher. ________d) Telling many classmates how your friend Li Ming fell asleep during the math test, just to make them laugh. 37. Which phrase (短语) from the text matches the meaning? To act in a way that makes others think you are good or important. _________________________________________________________ 38. What will happen if gossip comes from your friend? _________________________________________________________ 39. What does the word “it” refer to in this sentence? Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. _________________________________________________________ 40. Fill in the blank ▲ with a proper (合适的) sentence. _________________________________________________________ B You may know or use Siri or Doubao, but what exactly is AI? AI refers to computer systems that are able to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. Without realizing it, people all over the world use different forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology daily, so it is very important in our lives. The Development of AI In 1950, Alan Turing came up with the “Turing Test”, which marks the start of AI. Then, in 1956, scientists officially made AI a scientific field. Since then, AI has achieved many breakthroughs (突破) —IBM’s “Deep Blue” won against chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997; DeepMind’s AlphaGo beat Go champion Lee Sedol in 2016; and OpenAI created ChatGPT, an AI that can chat like a human in 2022. Today, DeepSeek (Hangzhou), a more powerful and user-friendly AI, provides a detailed thinking process for people. AI Today Today, AI is used worldwide in different ways. In factories, AI does boring work instead of human workers to increase production and reduce costs. Some difficult tasks in space are performed by AI to protect astronauts from dangers. In the field of medicine, AI helps doctors scan X-rays, perform operations, and diagnose (诊断) patients. It seems that AI can take the place of humans in quite a few jobs across different fields. The Future of AI In the future, scientists want AI to use sensors (传感器) to sense smells, tastes, touches, and sounds, and then respond to certain situations. They also want AI to be able to tell how people are feeling by looking at their expressions or listening to their tones (语气). AI is a technology that is developing fast and changing all the time. It will appear more often in our daily lives. 41. Why is AI important in our lives? ____________________________________________________ 42. List three major breakthroughs of AI mentioned in the passage. ①____________________________________________________ ②____________________________________________________ ③____________________________________________________ 43. 根据短文内容填空。 (每空不超过三个单词) AI is a computer system that can finish tasks with human intelligence. It has a long_______history, starting with the “Turing Test” in 1950. Over the years, AI has made many breakthroughs. Today, it is widely used in different _______ like factories, space and medicine. In the future, scientists hope AI can sense the world and understand human _______ better. AI is developing rapidly and it will appear more often in our _______. 44. Do you think AI is good for our lives? Why or why not?
