    Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset(不安的)if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you. Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. Ask your hosts(主人)what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift. Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks(小吃). If you want to be extra polite, say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember-it's not polite to ask how much things cost. In many families, the husband sits at one of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests. You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert(甜点心), followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it. Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short “thank you” letter. British and American people like to say “thank you, thank, thank you"all the time!

A、doesn't like you B、likes you C、can't afford to do so D、is too busy

Weeks before Tomb-Sweeping Day on April 4 this year, hundreds of qingtuan were sold each day. The snack was still a must-have for many people. 

In the southern part of China, eating qingtuan at the beginning of spring is a kind of tradition. Chinese people started to eat it more than 2, 000 years ago. It is made of sticky rice(糯米) and red bean paste(红豆沙), and is famous for its softness, freshness and sweetness. The secret behind its mouth-watering taste is one of its materials—mugwort leaves (艾蒿叶). The plant is mainly found in the Yangtze RiverDelta(长江三角洲) where it has perfect conditions to grow. 

People in this area usually put qingtuan on the tombs(墓) of their dead family members to cherish the past memory. Making qingtuan is also a chance for family members to get together at home. It really takes time and effort to make the snack. 

Now, qingtuan has already spread its special taste to the northern part of China. Li Yuan, a 30-year-old engineer who grew up in Zhejiang Province, brought qingtuan back to Beijing where he works. "It tastes different in and out of my hometown, "he said. "There's no place like home. "

Qingtuan has many different tastes inside it, such as apples and bean milk, to meet customers' tastes. The difference of the taste shows that it's getting more and more popular across the whole country. 

Even though there is warm weather and green leaves in spring, the season wouldn't be complete without a taste of qingtuan.

Do you want to write a story? Ask ChatGPT and you will get the story just one second later. If you write"a girl wants to go to Australia", you will get the story of Alice, who goes through many difficult things to travel to Australia.

ChatGPT is made by the US company OpenAI. It came out in November 2022. It changes the Internet in a very short time. People can ask it to write stories and emails, answer all kinds of questions and even do homework. In its own words, it is"a big language model* which helps users to write anything they like."

Different from Siri, ChatGPT uses a much bigger database*. It can also learn things by itself. For example, if it gives a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it can make changes. "It's a really great product!"Liu Xiaoguang, a computer scientist from China, says,"Its level is the sameas an undergraduate* student's. That's why it surprises the world."

But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it cannot give right information all the time. Rezza, a 28— year—old English learner from France, uses ChatGPT to write a passage."It gives little useful information", he tells a newspaper. Besides, some students will learn nothing if they always use ChatGPT to do homework.This is because they won't think by themselves. So we should be careful to use ChatGPT.

What is the future of ChatGPT? Maybe scientists need to work more on it.
