Everyone is born with their own built-in burglar（窃贼）alarms（闹钟）, called the sense of sight and sound.Unluckily, many of us go around with the alarm turned off.
We don’t see the stranger walking outside the house next door. We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs. (Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?)
The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars.
Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time, you’ll see something doubtful. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.
But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community, for example, you probably know far more about your neighborhoods than the police ever could.
A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more easy to be seen to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look-out.
That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch plans, trying to make the country create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything doubtful being reported to the police.
It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime numbers are already dropping in many of the areas running the plan. And all because of people like you. 28. The underlined word “them” refers to “______”.
A. the police B. criminals C. neighbors D. strangers 29. The advertisement points out that many people______.
A. are not ready to help the police B. are not as watchful as they could be C. don’t look after their gardens well D. don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays
30. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to______. A. tell the police if we hear noises upstairs running away
C. turn on the alarm system in our home doubtfully
31. The purpose of the advertisement is to __________in their neighborhood. A. ask people to join the police force B. advise people how to protect their homes
C. encourage people to be on watch for possible crime D. warn people about the increasing risk of crime
C
Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didn’t. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process（过程）. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually luck. First-time failure, however, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn. In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of cookers, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn marks. They knew how much value their failures gave them.
I make my living by writing a daily newspaper. Each week I know that one part I write is going to be the worst part. I try my best every day. I have learned to love writing. A successful article usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a better way. My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (荡秋千演员). She spent three years practicing a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no meaning in putting her body into all that stress. She
D. look out for people behaving
B. try to stop criminals from
risked failure and great public embarrassment(尴尬) in order to improve herself. My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.
32. What does the writer think of his daughter’s changing her show?
A. He doesn’t think it wise of his daughter to do so. B. He is worried about the risk his daughter takes. C. He is very excited about his daughter’s decision.
D. He stands on his daughter’s side no matter what the result will be. 33. The writer talked about his own experience to show that ___________.
A. past failures made him afraid of taking risks in writing B. we should try every possible way to avoid failure C. the thought of failure will make you work even harder D. we cannot depend on luck to live a good life 34. The writer develops the article mainly by ___________.
A. following the time order C. comparing different opinions
D
US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original(独创的) human mind.”
To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year.
The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves.
But in the age of artificial intelligence (AI，人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of
B. giving examples
D. giving a reason and its results
texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems.
In 2020, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that all over the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool（欺骗） 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.
By creating the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines – and be able to tell what makes us human.
“The human mind is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his speech. A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, now AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, “The computer works like a mirror that reflects (反映) any idea of a human.” 35. The purpose of the first three paragraphs is to ___________. A. introduce where World Poetry Day comes from. B. show how popular poetry is around the world. C. show the importance and beauty of poetry. D. give some tips on enjoying poetry.
36. What did the data （数据）from “bot or not” show? A. Computers are better than humans at writing poetry. B. Computers can also produce poems of high quality.
C. Readers don’t really care whether the poems were written by humans. D. Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.
37. According to the article, computers can’t match humans in creating poems because they
________.
A. fail to use the correct grammar and style B. can’t create poems that are meaningful C. can’t show feelings as well as humans D. only know how to follow humans’ poems

People often say that the world is getting smaller. By this, they mean that with improved trade, each country is becoming more and more familiar with one another. There seems to be a lot of truth to this. After all, you can buy African food in India, or watch a French movie in China.
However, countries still have the power to surprise people who visit them for the first time. For many of us, there are still real differences in the culture and habits between countries.
Recently, the Daily Mail reported on some culture shocks(文化冲击) from around the world. A Serbian student, Milorad Boti, was greatly surprised on a school trip to Germany when he found that public bathrooms were very different to those in his home country. He noticed that after using the toilet, the cover turned as part of a cleaning process. Milorad was impressed. “That was the best thing that happened on that school trip,” he said.
Most often, however, it is some habits that are different between cultures. The Daily Mail article mentioned the shock of an Indian man, Kaushal Barot. When visiting a Western country, he noticed people communicating with each other in restaurants, often spending hours in them with friends. Kaushal was surprised because in India, restaurants are for one thing only: food.
The cultural differences people notice can seem good, bad, or simply just strange. But rather than something to be afraid of, these differences should be welcomed. Indeed, if the whole world were like one big country, it would be a much more boring place. So let’s be proud of our own culture, and at the same time, open to the cultures of others.
