Our summer vacation begins on July 15th and lasts nearly two months. Considering that my brain needs rest after a period of hard work, I, together with my family, went to our countryside, a very small farmhouse in which my grandparents used to live, to spend the summer. Obviously, life in the country is very different from that in the city.

Early in the morning I took a walk along the field side. The air was fresh and pure. With a dog following, sometimes I ran a race in the meadows covered with tall grass. Sometimes I climbed up the hill to see the sun slowly yet steadily rise from the eastern horizon. The birds also sang restlessly among the bushes. In order to appreciate the quietness of the country, I gave myself entirely to nature, with a light heart and a happy mind.

Sometimes in the afternoon I, together with my cousins, took a rod（鱼竿） and went to the river to fish. It made the family happy when they saw me returning with a basketful of large fresh fish. When night came, I would sit at the door and tell the most wonderful and interesting stories to my cousins, who listened to the tale of wonder with open eyes and mouth.

I wish I could enjoy such calm, pure and beautiful rural life forever.

Amy, a 16-year-old high school student, has been volunteering at the city library every Saturday morning for two years. Her task is to help children who are too shy to read in public.

At the beginning, Amy doubted whether she could make a difference. Some kids would hide behind their parents and refuse to open their mouths. Instead of pushing them, Amy chose to sit beside them and read stories softly. Gradually, more little readers dared to read aloud.

In addition to reading guidance, she also collected  books and organized small reading activities. To her surprise, what she gained was far more than she offered. “Volunteering teaches me to listen patiently and respect others. Small acts of kindness can light up someone’s day,” Amy said.

AI speech reconstruction technology（AI语音重建技术）

    Some patients with throat illnesses lose their ability to speak. A new AI technology brings them a new way to “talk”.

Researchers developed a lightweight sensor(传感器) which can be worn on the neck（脖子）. It finds tiny skin movements of neck muscles when people try to form words. Then AI analyzes these movements and rebuilds the person’s voice.

The technology does not need the patient to make sounds. Even if they cannot produce any voice, the system can turn their neck muscle movements into natural speech. Compared with old tools, this new system is much lighter and easier to wear.

Scientists hope this invention will help thousands of people who have lost their voice. At present, the system still needs more tests to improve its accuracy in noisy environments.

12. Who can benefit most from this new AI technology?

A. People with poor eyesight. B. People who have trouble hearing.

C.People who cannot move their legs.       D. People who lose their speaking ability.

13. What does the sensor on the neck find?

A. The temperature of skin.         B. Heart beats.

C. Movements of neck muscles.        D. Air flow from the mouth.

14. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Patients must make loud sounds for the system to work.

B. AI helps rebuild speech signals from muscle movements.

C. The new system is heavier than old tools.

D. The system works perfectly everywhere without any improvement.

15. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A new AI tech helps voiceless people speak again.

B. How to protect our throat.

C. The development of AI in daily communication.

D. The disadvantages of speech sensors.
