Clubs are a great way to find like-minded people in your high school community. If you’re unsure of which clubs you should join, here’s a list for you to explore.

Art History Club

This is a club where you can present historic artistic masterpieces and hold discussions on art history. You may also get to discuss and practice techniques (技艺) that art historians use to protect valuable pieces of art. The club organizes field trips to local museums and even plans international trips to the Louvre and Istanbul.

Photography Club

If you’re interested in taking photos or if you have a camera that you don’t know how to use, the photography club is for you. You could talk with team members about how to take a great photo. You might also enter a dark room where you can develop the photos you take.

Ceramics Club

If you’re into forming art from sticky earth, stone, and other materials, a ceramics club could be for you. At this club, you can discuss how pottery (陶器) has changed throughout history, from Ancient Greece to today. Ceramics is a fun group activity that allows you to connect with other students who share the same interest.

Literary Magazine Club

A literary magazine is a great way for students to explore both the arts and the press. Schools use these magazines to show students’ creative writing, poems, art, and other works, usually once a year. You’ll work with a team to select student work and encourage new ideas. Your work will help build a strong collection for the school magazine.

After a long teaching day, I saw someone searching for a lost key between the seats on a crowded train. Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT. This surprised me and made me wonder: What did I think of AI? Could it really help?

Since ChatGPT appeared, teachers have different views. At first, I found it very useful. It offered me lesson ideas and saved me time. Students used it to understand difficult topics and get writing tips.

But I noticed problems. One student couldn’t remember facts ChatGPT gave him. Another used it to make his writing sound smarter, but lost his own style. Using AI for work meant students missed chances to improve their own ideas by revising. I told them: Use AI to help improve your writing, not to do it for you.

I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly.

In a world increasingly led by speed, I learned the best ideas often need time and focus. I’m not against

AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts. I hope my students will, too.

24．What was the author’s first thought upon seeing someone looking for a key on the train?

A．Turning to ChatGPT for help. B．Joining in the search for it.

C．Turning a blind eye to it. D．Reporting it to the police.

25．Why does the author mention his students in paragraph 3?

A．To tell them they are smart. B．To tell how AI helps them.

C．To show the problems AI brings. D．To prove his teaching job successful.

26．What did the author think of planning his lessons by using pen and paper more?

A．It wasted too much of his time. B．It was good for his thinking.

C．It allowed him to get answers quickly. D．It led to losing good teaching methods.

27．What is the author’s attitude towards using AI?

A．Carefree. B．Hopeless. C．Unclear. D．Careful.

C

Not many predators (捕食者) will eat an animal that’s already dead. It would be like going to a restaurant, finding that all the food has gone bad, and then eating there anyway. Most predators have developed a natural dislike to dead animals to avoid the risk of getting a deadly illness from bad or diseased meat. And some small animals that are often caught by predators have realized this dislike.

Animals such as opossums, snakes and frogs have developed a system to deceive predators by “playing dead”, otherwise known as tonic immobility (强直静止). When a small animal is in danger, it becomes afraid, cannot move for a short time, and its muscles become hard to move, so it looks like an animal that died naturally. Their body temperature and breathing rates (率) can be greatly reduced to fool hungry predators. For example, the American opossum can drop its heart rate by around 46 per cent, breathing rate by around 31 per cent and lower body temperature by 0.6 degrees Celsius during tonic immobility.

Animals that are playing dead will give off bad smells to make their death act even more real. The red tree frog even throws up something smelly from its mouth. Some predators, however, are wise to this, and use it to their advantage. Killer whales have discovered that manta rays enter a dead state when they’re upside down. Using their powerful tails, killer whales hit shallow water to turn the ray over and eat their meal.

For ocean predators, tonic immobility is slightly different. When turned upside down, sharks enter into an immobile state. While scientists have suggested that it works just like other small animals avoiding predators, super predators like sharks must be doing it for other reasons. It takes just a few seconds after being upside down for the shark to become immobile, and this state lasts for around 15 minutes before they recover.

28．Why do most predators avoid dead animals?

A．They dislike bad food.   B．They fear getting diseases.

C．They prefer hunting live animals.  D．They have plenty of food.

29．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “deceive” in paragraph 2?

A．Cheat.  B．Attract.  C．Frighten.  D．Attack.

30．What does the author say about killer whales?

A．They are playful.   B．They are clever.

C．They are powerful.   D．They are brave.

31．What does the passage tell us about tonic immobility in sharks?

A．It appears during predator attacks.  B．It happens for unknown reasons.

C．It usually lasts over 15 minutes.  D．It shows signs of small animals.

Recently, a video of four snow leopards climbing snowy cliffs (峭壁) in northern Pakistan made environmentalists very excited. Snow leopards are one kind of animals that are hard to find in the wild. Seeing just one on camera is difficult, let alone four at a time. This sighting is seen as a big win for Pakistan’s efforts to protect wildlife.

Sakhawat Ali, a park worker who loves taking photos, filmed the snow leopards. He spent two weeks following their footprints in the Central Karakoram National Park, which is always covered in snow. It turned out that the four snow leopards were a mother and her three babies. Ali said that while people in his village
