Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
I've always wanted to try rock climbing, but never had time or money for it. But I've discovered a way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don't climb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,
schools and camps have one.
You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually not expensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I'm always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can't stop grinning. I did it! Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.
Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.

    As a first grader, the last thing on Kylie' s mind was to be an inventor (发明家) . When she made a board game (棋类游戏) about Ladybug (瓢虫) for her science class, the student from Pleasanton, California, thought it would just make her homework fun. Now her board game the Ladybug Game goes into many stores in America. Kylie is happy to talk to WR News about her invention.

(WR=WR News; K=Kylie)

WR: How did you get the idea for the Ladybug Game?

K: I just did it for Mrs. Ditto's science class. We had to make something to tell our classmates about insects (昆虫). I really like board games and I play them a lot. So I made a board game myself.

WR: Why ladybugs?

K: I like their colors. Ladybugs come in many different colors. And I think they have a cool life cycle (生命周期).

WR: Your dad took your game to a friend and the friend helped more people know it. How did you feel when you heard that going to sell your board game?

K: It was really cool. When I got into some stores sometimes the people said "You're the girl on the box!"

WR： Do you think you will invent some other things someday?

K: I don't know, but I'm sure that it will be fun.

ChatGPT, a smart AI chatbot (聊天机器人) tool, has swept the education world in the past months. According to a US survey of more than 1,000 students, over 89 percent of them have used ChatGPT to help with their homework.

Some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the district's networks.

The move comes out of worries that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread incorrect information.

Besides bans, teachers are making changes to their classes to avoid the use of ChatGPT. Some college teachers in the US try to include more speaking exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones.

However, not all educators say "no" to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are making laws on its use, for both students and teachers. They have no plans to completely ban the tool so far.

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

Should parents choose your clothes?

Lots of parents choose their children's clothes, or at least have a say in what they wear. As children get older, they tend to develop stronger opinions of how they want to dress. It's common for children and teens to have different opinions with their parents over clothes. Some young people don't 1 how they dress, others want to express their style, follow trends (n. 潮流) or dress like friends or famous people they like.

What do you think? Should parents choose your clothes?

Yes — Advice is helpful.

Parents can help you choose the right clothes because they have more 2 . It's part of their job — like making sure you eat a healthy diet. As they are usually paying, it makes sense that parents have a say. If parents didn't help children choose clothes, they might wear things that aren't wise, like flip-flops (人字拖) in the rain. 3 , at some special events, it can be necessary to dress in a certain way to show respect. Young people can feel pressure to dress in clothes that are too grown-up. Choosing clothes can be a two-way 4 : children say what they prefer but parents have the final say. It's not just about what you wear, but how you wear it.

No — It's an individual decision.

You should decide because you're the one wearing the clothes. Parents don't always understand what children like or know what is trendy. What's more, choosing for yourself is an important step towards becoming 5 and can build self-confidence.

Selecting clothes can be fun and creative, and allows you to express yourself and develop an individual style. For some people, clothing is a way of showing you 6 a certain group. Plus, if children select their own clothes, they are more likely to wear them, which means fewer arguments and less wasted money.
