Located deep in the mountains of Chong yang county of Hubei province, the Qingshan Reservoir(水库) looks like a river with many twists and turns.
For Wang Zhijun, a primary schoolteacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle(障碍) to be overcome. He doubles as a ferryman to help students shuttle(往返) back and forth via boat.
A recent video of Wang went viral on social media and moved many.
He became a teacher at the primary school in Panshan village in 1995. With water in three directions, the village occupies a sort of peninsula(半岛), even though it’s high on Qingshan Mountain.
Wang travels 500 meters of mountain roads to carry water to the school for the students. He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe.
With development of the local economy, Panshan Primary School merged with(与......结合) the Chichong Primary School on the opposite bank of the reservoir in 2017. Wang could drive to pick up most of the students, but a few depend on his boat.
He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development, but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed.
Panshan and Chichong villages together have more than 1, 000 residents. Wang is proud that 40of his students eventually entered college. “My ultimate dream is to send them out from the mountains through education,” Wang said. Meanwhile, he is proud that six of the 40 college students returned to their hometown and became teachers themselves.

The wide use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens, who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.
Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the benefits that new technologic s offer. According to the figures of the National Bureau, the number of people aged 60 and above was 253.88 million in 2019, about 18.1% of China’s population. But only 23% of the senior citizens were able to use the Internet. That means more than three-fourths of the elderly can’t enjoy the digital benefits.
Many senior citizens who can’t use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic(流行病). Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, many of them still feel helpless. They don’t know how to call a taxi through the apps. There have been reports of many shops refusing the elders because they don’t know how to pay using smartphones, instead of letting them pay with cash. What’s worse, as they don’t know how to get the Internet-based health code(健康码), they are refused to enter many public places. Showing personal health code is part of the epidemic prevention (防疫) and control measures.
New technologies become popular because they are often of great use in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especially those living in the countryside, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones, either because of financial(经济的) problems or because they cannot learn new things. The digital gap between the elderly and the young is becoming more obvious. However, the senior citizens should not become a silent group deprived(剥夺) of digital benefits. It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.

ChatGPT, a powerful AI chatbot tool, has swept the world in the past months. While it has been dominating social media with its frighteningly good essays, ChatGPT has also caused both excitement and worries in education.
According to a US survey of more than 1, 000 students, over 89 percent of them had used ChatGPT to help with a homework task. Some students even got high scores thanks to papers written by ChatGPT.
Some universities and schools have banned the use of ChatGPT, such as public schools in New York City, CNN reported. The move comes out of growing concerns that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on schoolwork and be used to spread inaccurate(不精确的) information. “While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic(学术的) and lifelong success, “Jenna Lyle, said in a statement.
Apart from strict bans, teachers are redesigning their courses in an attempt to block the use of ChatGPT. Some college professors in the US are now including more oral exams and handwritten papers instead of typed ones, The New York Times reported.
However, not all educators are saying “no” to ChatGPT. Some Canadian universities are not planning on banning the tool. Instead, they are working on policies(政策) about its proper usage, for both students and lecturers.
Bhaskar Vira, pro-vice-chancellor for education at University of Cambridge in the UK, said that bans on AI software like Chat GPT are not sensible. “I’m of the opinion that we have to recognise that AI is a tool people will use but then adapt our learning, teaching and examination processes so that we can continue to have integrity(诚信) while recognizing the use of the tool,” he told Varsity, the school newspaper of the university.
Vira’s opinion on ChatGPT is shared by Peter van der Putten, assistant professor at Leiden University in the Netherlands. “It’s there, just like Google is there. You can write it into your policies for stopping cheating but it’s a reality that the tool exists,” he told Sky News.
32. Why did the author mention the US survey data in Paragraph 2
A. To criticize the use of Chat GPT in education.
B. To show the popularity of ChatGPT among students.
C. To show the places of using ChatGPT for academic tasks.
D. To highlight the negative effects of ChatGPT on academic integrity.
33. What is the concern that led some universities and schools to ban the use of ChatGPT
A. The tool is too expensive.
B. The tool is not user-friendly.
C. The tool can cause physical harm to students.
D. The tool maybe used to spread inaccurate information.
34. Why are some educators redesigning their courses
A. To make them more difficult. B. To allow the use of ChatGPT.
C. To decrease the workload of students. D. To prevent students from using ChatGPT.
35. What is the opinion of Peter van der Putten on the use of ChatGPT
A. It should be used with proper policies and guidelines.
B. It is not a useful tool for students.
C. It should be used without limits.
D. It should be banned.
