    Jane Goodall is a famous scientist. For more than 40 years, Goodall lived mostly in Tanzania in East Africa, studying chimpanzees(黑猩猩).

    As a young child, Jane Goodall was interested in animals. She grew up in the English countryside and was always climbing trees or riding horses.

    When Jane was 23, she got a chance to go to Africa. Even though she had never been to college, she got a job with a famous scientist named Louis Leakey.

    One day Louis Leakey said he needed a volunteer. He needed someone to go to a lake in Tanzania to study a kind of chimpanzees. Jane was excited.

    On July 16, 1960, she began her exploration(探索).At first, the chimpanzees ran away from Jane. But with the passing of time, they got used to her being around.

    Every day, Jane would follow the chimpanzees, taking notes on their behaviour. She learned many new things about chimpanzees. She watched how a chimpanzee made a tool. She learned how some chimpanzees became good leaders. She watched animals get angry and get upset. She wrote everything down so others would understand animals as she did.

Have you heard of depression(抑郁症)? It's a mental illness. People who have it may feel轮sad all the time or do something to hurt themselves. Now, doctors can put a"happy switch(开关)" in their heads to help them. The "happy switch" is a kind of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI, 脑机接口). It works like a bridge— it connects your brain to a computer. Some BCIs can influence people's brain activities. Some can let people control the computer with their thoughts.

Doctors at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital helped a patient called Wu Xiaotian. Wu, 31, has had depression since he was 15years old.

The doctors did a surgery on Wu. They put two long lines of electrodes(电极) inside his brain. The 16 electrodes are used to let out electricity on different parts of the brain, which can change the patient's feelings. The electrodes are connected to a small "box"—the power source(电源)—inside Wu's body.

Wu can control the"happy switch"remotely via an app on his phone. When feeling down,Wu turns on the switch and the electrodes start working. He is soon cheered up. "It feels like there is power rising from the inside of my body," Wu said.

"The hospital has tested the switch on 26 patients since 2020. Up to now , it has helped cut down a patient's sad feelings by 60 percent," said the hospital.

But is the switch safe enough? Although patients like Wu feel great using it, the implant surgery is actually a dangerous one. Also, doctors have to make sure that patients don't rely on it. Healthy people shouldn't use it, or it may be like a kind of addiction(瘾) for them.

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

① Meet Sora, the cool model from OpenAI. It can turn your words into videos like magic! Just tell Sora your idea, and watch it make a video right before your eyes. 

② There's no doubt that Sora is amazing. Videos created by Sora look good on both big and small devices(设备), such as computers and smartphones. Sora can also make scenes(场景)with lots of people doing different things with clear details. It also knows how things should look in real life. 

③ Why is it so good? Actually, Sora looks at many videos and learns from them by breaking them into very small bits(片段). It uses these bits to make a new video. The new video is gray at first and very messy-you can't tell what's in it. Then, Sora fixes the video until it looks good and smooth. Besides, Sora also gets help from ChatGPT, which turns the user's short sentences into clear instructions. This helps Sora make the video just as you asked. 

④ However, there are still some shortcomings to be improved. Sora may find "busy"pictures hard to understand. For example, when a person moves, things around them change. In one video created by Sora, a grandma blows the candle on a birthday cake, but the flame doesn't move. Sora may not be able to tell "left" from "right" and mess up a person's leg moves. In another video made by Sora, a lady in a red dress is walking on a street. The picture in the water on the ground changes when she walks. The people in the back move in a normal way and the buildings change as she walks. The woman's skin(皮肤) looks real, with acne marks(痘印) on her face. However, when the video reaches 30 seconds, the woman's right and left legs exchange places as she walks.
