    Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown there.
    Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）．
    "Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
    As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.
    Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
    Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal", Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.

（1）、The article seems to tell us that_____________.

A、farmland is in danger B、countryside is turned into towns C、farmland has been sold D、Chinese cities are growing fast

（2）、From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about ____________.

（4）、Which statement of the following is NOT true?

A、Yang Nan's new home is in a northern area of Beijing B、The country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China. C、Chinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns. D、Pollution is also an important reason for the big drop in China's farmland.

（5）、What will the government do with the problem of the drop in China's farmland?

A、Government needs farmland to grow food for the people of China. B、Government will order not to build new towns any more. C、Government will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business. D、Government will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert

举一反三

     When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.
      Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth's atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth's atmosphere. As the air in the earth's atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.
    The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.
      This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.

ChatGPT is a new type of robot. It was created by OpenAI in San Francisco. It understands human languages and can talk to people too. ChatGPT can answer questions，recognize mistakes，challenge wrong settings，and say no to improper requests by having conversations.

GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. Elon Musk，the person behind it，says，"ChatGPT is amazing but also a bit scary because it presents a challenge. " Experts say that within just two months of its release（发行），ChatGPT has got 100 million users.

ChatGPT is good at both talking and listening. It can be serious or funny，depending on the situation. For example，if you say，"Tell me a lie（谎言），"ChatGPT might reply，"The sky is made of green cheese. "Then，if you say，"That's not a good lie. Tell me more lies，"ChatGPT might playfully say，"I am actually a human. "Besides conversations，this AI chatbot can even write emails and papers. Surprisingly，it can also create poems and stories. ChatGPT can also help with writing code quickly and correctly. Maybe one day，it could even work as a top engineer.

However，some experts say that ChatGPT might be improved to answer questions which it hasn't been trained on. And Some schools in the US，Australia and France have banned（禁止） the use of ChatGPT. They worry that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework and tell others incorrect information.

But Bhaskar Vira from the University of Cambridge，said that bans on AI software like ChatGPT are not wise. "We have to know that AI is a tool people will use. What we need to do is 'adapt（适应） our learning，teaching and examinations'. That way，we can be honest while using the tool. "

In my eyes，ChatGPT doesn't completely change our lives or cause bad influence on schools. It shows that AI has entered a new time instead. What do you think？Will ChatGPT replace human beings？
