    Spring is an inviting season for outdoor activities. But be careful—the warm weather is also a hotbed for viruses(病毒) and disease.
This March, the influenza(流行性感冒) A(H7N9) virus hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was reported that by April 11 at least 35 people had been infected (被感染的) with the H7N9 virus, and nine of them had died.
    The influenza A (H7N9) virus is one type of influenza A H7 viruses. Influenza A H7 viruses normally spread among birds.
This is the first time human infections with H7N9 viruses have been reported in China. Earlier reports were about H5N1 and H1N1.
All the three viruses are influenza A viruses but they are not the same. H7N9 and H5N1 are animal influenza viruses that could infect people. However, H1N1 viruses can be divided into two groups. One group can normally infect people and the other normally infects animals. Also, H1N1 can spread from human to human, but H7N9 probably can't, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Most people infected with H7N9 looked like they had the common flu. Some people had bad pneumonia(肺炎). They suffered from a fever, a cough and shortness of breath.
    But don't be afraid – it is not easy to be infected with the virus. One of the possible reasons is close contact with sick poultry (家禽) waste. People may also be infected through breath, according to National Health and Family Planning Commission.
Here are some tips from the WHO that can protect you from being infected.
    Wash your hands with soap and running water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after touching animals or animal waste.
When coughing or sneezing cover your mouth and nose with a mask(口罩)，tissue(纸巾) or a sleeve.
    Get a good rest and do exercises, which will help make your body strong enough to stand up to the virus.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real? Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says. In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

In most parts of the world there are four seasons. They are spring, summer, fall and winter.

In different seasons people wear different clothes and do different things. For example, in summer the weather is hot, so people usually wear cool clothes and do things like swimming, boating or surfing.

But near the polar regions(极地), there are only two seasons: winter and summer. In winter, nights are long. For more than two months you can't see the sun. In summer, days are long and the sun is always in the sky. There are no nights.

The people living near the North Pole(北极) are called Inuit(伊特人). In summer they live in tents and catch deer for food. In winter they live in small round snow houses. They can build a snow house, they make holes(洞) in the ice and catch fish and seals(海豹). They eat much meat but not many vegetables.

第三节，阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。

In China, the year 2024 is the Year of the Dragon or "Loong", as it is known in Chinese. Nowadays more and more Chinese people prefer the word "long" to "dragon" when talking about Chinese dragons.

In Western culture, the dragon is usually a symbol of darkness. Western dragons are often described as cruel, fire-breathing Unlike Western dragons. Chinese loongs traditionally symbolize strơng powers that can help people. They control over water and ensure a good harvest (收成). The loong is important in Chinese culture and has been popular throughout Chinese history.

In China, newborns in such years as 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024, are called "loong babies." They are thought to be blessed with bravery and wisdom characteristic of the Chinese loongs. Parents wish their kids to "become loongs" expecting their children to get future success. It is hoped that their children will get some achievements in life with a good education and hard work.

The Western idea of dragon is not the same as that of the Chinese dragon. If you want to express ideas related to the Chinese dragon then you should use the word "loong". For example: "I was born in the year of the loong" or "Happy the Year of the Loong".

阅读理解阅读下列材料，从下面每题的A、B 、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Jokes made by AI lack(缺乏)creative thinking. It seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI)programs anything, and they'll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes?This question was raised by a UK comedian(喜剧演员)Karen Hobbs in one of her shows in June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs told jokes written by ChatGPT.

When Hobbs asked ChatGPT for a joke, it gave one about a man joking about getting bored with his shopping-obsessed(痴迷于购物的)girlfriend. Even when she asked to tell it from a woman's perspective(视角), it was still a shopping-obsessed girlfriend but told in the first person

It's no surprise that many jokes by AI come from a man's perspective, as men are much more common in comedy. The BBC said that AI storytelling can only create stories based on what is already there

A good joke in real life can always change based on the audience's reaction(反应). This is a skill that often leads comedians to improvise(v. 即兴创作). That's something that AI can't do for now.

For example, in improvise(n. 即兴创作), comedians don't make preparations. They depend only on their natural reaction to the audience.

However, that could change. Research is being done to give Al a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain.
