7-year-old Alexandra Knox, from Newcastle, moved in with Florence Smith after starting a master’s degree.
Having quite possibly the largest age gap of any housemates in the UK, the pair say they hit it off and have a great
time living together. They watch afternoon TV together, chat over a cup of tea, and do some of the cleaning
together — “It’s no different from living with university students,” said Alexandra.
Florence has lived in the London home for over 50 years. Having retired from her job at the age of 70, and
with her family living far away, she was left on her own. To avoid feeling lonely, she signed up for house sharing
with Homeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra.
“Sharing your home is a great idea. Loneliness is horrible. Having someone else in the home
makes a big difference. You don’t have to worry about falling over or hurting yourself. And more importantly,
it’s lovely to have somebody to talk to during the day,” Florence said.
Florence added, “I was already 67 years old when my housemate was born, and when I told my friends about
it, they thought it was strange. But the more they find out about it, the more they think it’s a very good idea.”
Alexandra said she was originally frightened by the idea of moving to London and living with an older person,
but she thinks it has made her experience in the capital much better and has been a great way to cover sky-high
rental costs. “It just didn’t seem like the normal thing to do, living with an older person,” she explained. “But now
it’s like being with an old family friend. It gives me somewhere homely to come back to in the evening, which is
great.”

People have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help. For example, when we give
food to a hungry person, he is blessed. However, scientists have recently begun to study the effect kindness has on
the person giving it. What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer. Acts of kindness can improve
health, help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life.
The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging.
Beginning in 1956, scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years. They thought the women with the
most children would die first. But the number of children a woman had did not matter. Wealth did not matter.
Education did not matter. What did matter was whether they volunteered. Women that volunteered had fewer
diseases during their life.
Many other studies have found the same positive effects. Helping other people improves long-term health.
The gains are the same for the men, women, old people and the young. Those who volunteered had fewer serious
diseases than those who did not volunteer. This included diseases such as heart attack, cancer and stroke.
Scientists are researching many possible causes. One possible cause is an increase and antibodies(抗体 ),
which help fight against disease. One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness.
This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished.
Another one is an increase in chemical that fights the effects of stress from life. Scientists have found a link
between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin(催产素). Oxytocin is a chemical produced
in the brain. It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress.

8. What did the study in paragraph 2 show?

A. Diseases age people fast.
C. Women with more kids die earlier.
B. Doing good is good for one’s health.
D. A long marriage leads to a long life.
2
9. What can we infer about antibodies from paragraph 4?
A. More antibodies may not be good.
B. They help people reduce pressure.
C. They increase with one’s kind acts.
D. The more antibodies, the more oxytocin.
0. How does the author develop the last two paragraphs?
A. By explaining the causes.

B. By making comparisons.
D. By describing a chemical.
C. By introducing a method.
1. What does the underlined word “it” probably refer to?
A. Oxytocin.
others.
B. The brain.
C. Stress.
D. Helping

Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed(超出) just creating text responses and images. Now,
with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good
visual quality while completely following your content instructions.
Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create
videos at suitable aspect ratios(屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in
lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.
Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising. Sora can create
detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details.
Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections
in the water change as a woman walks by.
However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a
complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a
cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up
directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic
unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch(时空补丁), independently.
Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to
make random attacks on Sora’s system in order to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also
been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model
to better serve creative professionals.

2. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3?
A. Sora’s strengths.
B. Sora’s weaknesses.
D. Sora’s popularity.
C. Sora’s development.

3. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 4?
A. To show Sora’s safety problems.
B. To show Sora’s existing weaknesses.
C. To show Sora’s perfect performance.
D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch.
4. What can we know about Sora up to now?
A. It is being tested and improved.
C. It has made random attacks.
B. It has enjoyed great popularity.
D. It has been stopped.
5. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Sora: A perfect text-to-video AI model
C. Sora: Known as a spacetime patch
B. Sora: A tool for chatting
D. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos

Traveling is becoming more and more popular every year. It can be passion to so many people. One of the
reasons behind this is the advanced transportation system that humans have achieved up to now. 36 There are
even personalities who have traveled the entire world.

Everyone has their own reason for traveling. Some people travel for a break in life. At times, our daily life
gets very dull. 37 We get bored of doing the same things in the same way again and again every day. We need
a breathing space, longing for new adventures in life. Traveling opens new doors of amusement in life.
Traveling helps in improving social and communication skills. 38 Traveling involves getting connected
with random strangers. It can be a true exercise to the people dealing with social anxiety. We even end up learning
new languages for traveling.

in the world. It fills us with positive energy. People suffering from spiritual illness from stress often choose the
path of exploring and traveling to cure themselves. It creates unforgettable and endless fond memories, which
comfort them and help ease their stress.
Traveling gets us real life education. People say that if you cannot read books, then start traveling for
knowledge. What we learn from traveling different places cannot be taught in any school, college or university.
