HERE comes good news for travelers who often find themselves travelling to and from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport during the late hours—the Airport Express now operates around the clock,according to the city's transportation authority

Starting from Saturday,Shenzhen Bus Group began to offer overnight service on eight Airport Express routes,providing seamless(无空隙的)connections to the latest arriving flights at the airport.These routes cover Futian,Luohu,Nanshan,Bao'an, Longgang,Longhua,Guangming,and  Pingshan  districts.The fares remain the same as daytime.

"Convenient and efficient ground transportation services are essential for a world-class international airport.The new service will enhance the travel experience of late-night arriving passengers and ensure reliable public transportation during nighttime travel,reflecting the warmth of Shenzhen,"the spokesman of Shenzhen Bus Group has said.

After arriving at the airport late at night,travelers can follow the sign to reach the Airport Express ticket counter at Gate 17 of the Ground Transportation Center to buy tickets.

Ms.Lan,who arrived in Shenzhen from Phnom Penh,Cambodia,early Saturday, noticed that there were still staff members from the Airport Express on duty although it was already 3:30 a.m.

"They told me they now offer overnight operations,making it convenient for late-night arrivals to reach their homes.This is great!"Lan,who lives in Guangming District,said.

 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①Do you find it hard to say"no" when someone asks you for help? Do you feel sorry when you have to tell people that you really can't help them? And do you often pretend(假装) to agree with people even though you think differently? If you answered"yes" to these questions, you may be a"people-pleaser".

②Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build friendships. However, trying to please(取悦) others without considering your own happiness can make you stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser.

③To start with, it's important to know your limits(限度) and make"boundaries"(界限) in your life. Be clear about what you would like to do. You can also tell others that you are only available for a certain period of time.

④When someone asks you for help, tell hum or her that you need some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? By giving yourself some time to think, you' ll be better able to truly decide if it's something you have the interest and time to do.

⑤People always try to please others because they have little confidence(自信) in themselves. They don't consider their own need and interest. In this situation, you can try meaningful self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don't have to waste your time to do things that don't bring you joy.

⑥Making a sudden change can be hard, so start by taking small steps. You may, for example, send a message to say"no". Then, continue to say"no" face to face. Practice this in kinds of situations, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant.

⑦Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn't mean you have to give up being kind and helpful altogether. You can still do good things— but on your own situations.

Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has taken the internet by storm, winning 100 million users since it came out in January, 2023.  People can ask the robot to write storics and e-mails, create recipes(食谱),translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is "a language model trained in a large amount of Internet text to help users get human-like text. "

Compared with Siri or other chatbots(聊天机器人),ChatGPT úses a much bigger database(数据库)for training. It also uses stronger software and hardware to learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will make corrections. 

OpenAI has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4. On March 14, 2023, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than GPT-3. 5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. 

But GPT-4's developments don't stop there.  The new language model can code(用代码编写)classic games in a matter of minutes and it can also change the tone(语气) and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests. Some students use it in exams, which is not allowed. This may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did reallywell on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3. 5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.
