AI is popular around the world, which makes our life easier and more fun. Now AI humans are coming into our life. They can be like real people by making human’s voices and moves. Let’s see what else they can do.
AI humans today appear in many ways. They can be famous singers, reporters and more. In June 2021, Hua Zhibing became the earliest AI human online in Tsinghua University. As an AI student, she can make music, draw pictures and sing well. In February 2022, Baidu showed its AI idol (偶像), Xi Jiajia. She can dress herself up in different clothes and even make alive stream (直播)! In China Fashion Week 2022, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀). Then China made more AI humans. Do you still remember the Asian Games on September 23rd, 2023 All eyes were on the exciting time when an AI human, Nongchaoer lit the torch (点亮火炬).
AI humans can do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel. However, they have their disadvantages. Take Xi Jiajia as an example, she doesn’t have rich feelings like humans. There is something that only a real person can have.

Technologies (科技) have the power to do many things. They can change the world we live in and the way we live, too. They make our lives easier. Here are some technologies that will probably change our lives in the future.
Flying cars
Space is running out quickly in some crowded cities. When there’s no space left on the roads, it is possible that we will drive cars in the sky. There are already many interesting flying car designs (设计) that show this future is a possibility. If it’s not flying cars, we might have other personal ways of travel. Jetpacks, for example, have been loved by designers and people looking for fun for years.
Wearable screens
In the future, you might not need to hold or look at traditional screens. There could be special devices (设备) that make screens appear on your skin, clothes or other things. These screens could work like touchable phone screens. They might even become a part of what you wear or be put inside your body. So you don’t have to carry a phone all the time, but you will have a screen with you wherever you go.
Smart mirrors
Now, picture a future where smart mirrors could tell you about your health problems. The only thing you need to do is take a quick look at the mirror. The information it gives could help you care about your health. Also, it could tell you how you’re feeling at the moment. Sounds great, right

Miss Green is our Art teacher. We can learn some DIY skills in her class. She often teaches us how to paint, repair, and even cook. On Thursday, Miss Green gave us a special lesson—making potato printings.
What you need are potatoes, thick paint, a large knife (刀), a small knife and some paper. First, decide what shape you would like to print with your potato. Simple shapes work best and are easiest to make. Try hearts, moons, suns, and flowers to start with. Once you’ve had some practice, try more shapes like cars, boats, faces and numbers. And then, cut a potato in half with the large knife. Use the small knife to make an outline (轮廓) of the shape you want to make on one half of the potato. Next, cut away the unwanted potato, about a quarter of one inch deep, around the outline of the shape. And then put the potato printing into the thick paint. At last, press (按) the potato printing onto any paper to make your printings.
All of us were very happy to make our own printings. I made heart, flower and face printings and Mary made moon and sun printings.

To solve the problem, Goddess of Luck put a big stone (石头) in the middle of the road.
A student passed by. He thought he was too young and weak to carry the big stone. So he walked away.
An old man came, but he thought it was a young man’s job to move the heavy stone away. He turned around and left.
Then a businessman appeared. As soon as he started to get the stone away, he dropped it. He thought no one would pay him for doing that, and he was afraid that other people would laugh at (嘲笑) him for his silly action. So he went away without saying a word.
So the stone stayed there for days. One late evening, a young man came by and saw it. He thought it was so dark that someone might fall because of it. He worked hard and finally moved the stone to the side of the road. To his surprise, he found a box under the stone. There were some words on the box.

In the wild, wolves with broken legs often face an unlucky fate, waiting to die. Yet, in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve in Qinghai, one such wolf had a different fate. It grew from a poor, thin one to a fat, fit wolf because tourists in the area often fed it.
This “act of kindness” led people to ask: Should tourists feed the wolf Supporters think that without feeding, the wolf would die because it couldn’t get food by itself. But those who do not agree with the idea believe that humans should not mess with (干扰) natural order. Science, however, provides us with an answer.
Research published in Scientific Reports in June 2019 studied how human feeding affected (影响) the lives of bottle-nose dolphins near Bun-bury, Australia. Dolphins there can sometimes get food from the Dolphin Discovery Centre. After studying more than 10 years of data, the scientists found that dolphins looking for food from boats had a higher risk of death than those who found food themselves. This is because they may get hit by boats or caught by fishing nets.
Feeding wild animals may lead them to depend (依靠) on humans for food, said Dai Qiang, a scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. What’s more, sick animals may bring diseases (疾病) to people who feed them.
So, if we come across a wild animal that seems to need our help, what should we do Qi Xinzhang, deputy director of Xining Wildlife Park, said that it’s best to report the animal to the government instead of just feeding it.
74．What happened to the wolf in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve

C．It became someone’s pet. D．Zoo workers saved it.
75．How does human feeding affect bottle-nose dolphins

B．Dolphins start to know the dangers from humans.
C．The dolphins fed by humans die more easily.
D．More dolphins choose to find food by themselves.
76．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Everyone should take care of wild animals by themselves.
B．The wild animals will never depend on themselves.

Now many people still go to work and school on buses, trains and bikes. However, some people dream of a day when they can fly in the sky.
In Singapore, a company (公司) has showed a flying taxi. If some people traveled in flying taxis, there would be fewer cars on the roads. It could be less crowded. In the 3d space (三维空间) of the sky, cars could move around each other without bridges or roads. The taxis could also take off and arrive on rooftops.

However, there are quite a few reasons why people don’t need flying cars. A famous scientist has a rocket company and a car company. It seems that he can make flying cars, but he said, “If the sky was full of flying cars, it would be noisier. Something might fall on people’s heads more easily. Those are not good things.”
