All the six kids(Max, Neinei, Xiao Shanzhu, Xiao Paofu, En Heng and Jasper)are very cute and talented, but Jasper is my favorite kid.Through different kinds of games between dads and kids, the TV program shows us the different ways of family education(教育). Thismight help other parents to educate their own children. But for me, the most important is that celebrities join in this show. Many celebrities, like the 5 star fathers in the show, are usually very busy so they don’t have much time to play and talk with their children when they are growing.I think it was same with many other families.

If you lost it, what would you do to get it back? Liu Mengjie found his own answers to these questions.①Liu Mengjie was from Taiwan. He started to learn to play the piano at a very young age. He was such a talent that he was accepted into a music school at only 13. He left his home to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Pennsylvania. Liu became one of the teachers after he graduated in 1993. That was the same year that he became famous in the music world.①When Liu was 23, just a few years after an outstanding performance, he came down with a serious illness. He had a difficult time walking and his heart even stopped beating. The worst part was that he couldn’t move his fingers. The doctor said, “I am sorry. I am afraid you have to say goodbye to your piano forever.”①However, Liu surprised everyone. He practiced his fingers very hard every day after he spent one month learning how to sit up. With strong will, he kept on with hiscareer as an excellent pianist. “I feel full and alive.

It is a large language model created by OpenAI and it is one of the most wonderful AI models now. It brings big changes to people’s life in many ways, especially education.①It helps students learn in lots of personal ways. With its excellent machine learning ability, ChatGPT can know very well about each student. So it can provide students with customized (定制的) learning materials (资料). Also, students can ask it for help with their homework. For example, a student may ask, “How to find information about the history of soccer?” ChatGPT will list the names of books,museums and key websites in a few seconds (秒). By searching (搜索) on these websites, students will have a clear understanding of soccer.①For teaching. ChatGPT is a window to a large number of teaching resources (资源). It makes teachers rethink the working ways. Many kinds of easy daily work, such as test papers, planning lessons and analyzing questionnaires (分析问卷), can be done more quickly. In this way, teachers can spend more time on more complex tasks, like designing classroom activities and making teaching plans.①However, every coin has two sides. Some teachers say that ChatGPT isn’t good for the development of students’ creative thinking. It may turn students into “mindless searching machines”. The teachers also worry that with the wide use of ChatGPT, the results of education may not be as good as before.①“ChatGPT can help our teachers and students understand the power of technology,” says Ellen Meier, an engineer in the ChatGPT research team. “However,” she adds, “it should not replace the roles of teachers or students in the classroom.”12．How many personal ways can ChatGPT help students with their study in?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five. 13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．ChatGPT is the most wonderful AI model now.B．Teachers can get few teaching resources from ChatGPT.C．Teachers think ChatGPT can make students' creative thinking better.D．Students will understand well of soccer after searching on the websites. 14．What does the underlined word “complex” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Slow.B．Quick.C．Difficult.D．Easy. 15．Which of the following ideas may Ellen Meier agree with?A．It will be better for teachers to use ChatGPT more In the future.B．Students need to use ChatGPT as much as possible in the future.C．Technology should take the place of teachers in teaching in the future.D．Students can understand the importance of technology by using ChatGPT.阅读下文，请从A一F选项中选出符合第1-5题的最佳中心句。
