You eitherhave it, or you don't—a sense of1that is. But2isit that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, whileothers can3themselves in the next street?

    Scientistssay were all4with a sense of direction, but it is notproperly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense ofdirection have worked hard at5it. Research being carriedout at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't useit, we lose it.

    Childrenas young as seven have the ability to find their way6,"saysJim Martland, Research Director of the project. "However,7theyare not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they will8developthe skills. "

    Jim Martlandalso emphasizes that young people should be taught certain9toimprove their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:

    If youare using a map, turn it so that it10to the way you are facing

    If youleave your bike in a strange place, put it near11likea big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike.When you return, go back along the12route.

    Simplifythe way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams,or walls in the countryside to guide you.13yoursteps14you know how far you have gone and note anylandmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out were you are.

    Now youwill never get lost15!

Recently, many people around the world have tried ChatGPT.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

ChatGPT is a conversational AI language model. You can chat with ChatGPT by asking it questions and it will quickly answer them in human-like natural language based on its training.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

The model was trained on many different Internet texts, allowing it to have knowledge on a wide range of topics, including history, science, sports, and much more.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

According to Andreas Schleicher, an official from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the chatbot will become a very powerful tool in the development of education. As a device, ChatGPT is going to make learning much more interesting and powerful.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

However, New York City's Department of Education announced a ban (禁令) on the wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT — which may help more students cheat(作弊) — from its schools' devices and networks.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

A latest survey among educators and students shows as following:72% of college professors are worried about its impact on cheating.

Over a third (34%) of all educators believe that schools and universities should stop students using ChatGPT.66% support students to use it.

Over 89% of students have used ChatGPT to help with a homework assignment.53% had it to write an essay.

Last month some parents went to a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they1 a sign in capital letters: "NO CHILDREN." "Why can't we bring our children?", "What does the owner want to do?" The parents were surprised and complained 2 .

So why did the restaurant 3 the sign on its door?

Troy Taylor, the owner of 4 pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quickly, so they disturbed（打扰）5 customers. Some people said that this was unfair. My Taylor explained 6 he did so. He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the children7 good care of.8 he made up his mind to stop children from entering his restaurant.

Others supported 9 decision. They said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they 10 finally have a place for adults only.

In fact, many other restaurants have 11 met the same problem. Some have done 12 , while others have tried to ban children during certain time of the day. There's one restaurant in Italy. It has been creative in 13 the problem. They give a family meal discount（折扣）to families with well-behaved children14 parents to control their children.

These methods may be15 for a while, but it is difficult to solve this problem completely.

On very cold winter days, a group of Japanese children traveled a long way and arrived at a small island where nobody lived. After setting up a camp, they caught fish in the sea, and walked on the snow to find firewood, wild fruit and fresh water. Then they made a fire to do some cooking. They were not homeless children or modern Robinson (鲁滨逊). They were all pupils from a primary school and campers of special"hardship（苦难）camp".

Every year primary and middle schools in Japan organize such camps to train the children's spirit of bearing hardships. Such places like thick forests and far-off（遥远的）mountains are often chosen as camp places.

The Japanese education circles (教育界) usually think it necessary to give children chances of suffering（经历）hardships. Children in Japan now may hardly find times of hardships, because of the rapid growth of national economy（经济）and improvement in people's living conditions. The experts（专家）think that such hardship camps can help children learn to live and develop in the struggle against nature.

It's said that such hardship camps are warmly accepted by both Japanese school children and their parents.

Confidence is very important in your daily life.It can help you develop a healthy attitude.A study shows that confident people are much happier.They may have more chances to succeed.But how do you become more confident? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Encourage yourself

Write down a list of things that you've done well during the day - for example, finishing tasks on time, telling a joke that made everyone laugh, etc.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Get rid of fear
