During the break times between classes, Xiao Jingsheng from Beijing Shangdi Experimental School often rushed to the toilet then back to class with no time for anything else． But now that has changed． “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old．

Starting this fall term, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing have longer breaks between classes． It has been changed from 10 minutes to 15 minutes so that students can spend more time outdoors for their physical and mental (心理的) well-being．

As the break time is longer, making sure everyone is safe is also important． Physical education (PE) teachers from the School Affiliated to Chaoyang Education Research Center keep an eye on students playing on the ground．

“Sometimes the ground can be wet in the morning, so we tell the students to do more upper (上部的) body exercises to avoid (避免) running and slipping (滑倒),” said one PE teacher．

“That’s to help make Father comfortable and to bring him home,” she said．

“Twenty-five dollars!” said Mrs March． “My dear, where did you get it?”

Jo took off her hat．

“Your hair, your beautiful hair!” cried Amy．

All Jo’s lovely, thick, long hair was cut short．

“Jo, how could you?” cried Meg．

“My dear girl, there was no need for this,” said Mrs March．

“She doesn’t look like my Jo, but I love her clearly for doing it!” said Beth, and began to cry．

“Don’t cry, Beth,” said Jo． “I wanted to do something for Father, and selling my hair was the only thing I could think of doing． I’ll soon have a curly head again, which will be short and easy to keep tidy．”

But later, when Amy and Beth were asleep and Meg was lying awake, she heard Jo crying．

“Are you crying about Father, Jo?” she asked．

When people are still amazed by the power of ChatGPT, a new app called DeepSeek has already become the most popular app in the world, with the most downloads． In 2021, 80% of companies were already using AI in some way． By 2025, the number of companies using AI is expected to increase by 270%． More than half of these companies (51%) have decided to deepen their use of AI． The rapid spread of Al has left people wondering: Besides companies, who also will start using AI in their daily lives?

Many think that people who understand how AI works would be the most likely to use it． However, a new study published in the Journal of Marketing found the opposite． People who know less about AI are actually more willing to use it． In other words, people are more interested in things they don’t fully understand．

This happens because AI can now do things that we once thought only humans could do． For example, when AI creates a piece of art, write a heartfelt reply, or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost magical—like it’s stepping into human field．

Of course, AI doesn’t actually have human qualities． A chatbot might produce a human-like answer, but it doesn’t feel what we humans feel． People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this． They know how algorithms (算法), training data (训练数据), and computer models work． This makes the technology less mysterious． On the other hand, those with less understanding, especially the young, may see Al as magical and inspiring． This sense makes them more open to using AI tools．

To make the most of AI, businesses, teachers, and policymakers need to make an effort． By understanding how the “magic” of AI affects people’s willingness to use it, they can create better AI products and services that match how people see AI． They should also help people understand both the benefits and risks of AI． In an ideal world, people could enjoy the amazing things Al can do, like solving complex math problems, while also appreciating the magical qualities that make AI so fascinating．

22．Who will download DeepSeek to use it according to the new research?

A．Steve, a retired engineer in robot design．

B．Daisy, a girl who is open to new ideas working at home．

C．Tony, an office worker who knows the training data well．

D．John, a student studying computer science in the college．

23．What does the underlined word mysterious mean?

A．magic B．special C．frightening D．understandable

24．What is the right structure of the passage?

A．①②/③④/⑤ B．①/②③④/⑥ C．①/②/③④/⑤ D．①/②③/④⑤

25．What is the main purpose of writing this article?

A．To warn people of the risks of AI． B．To show how popular AI is nowadays．

C．To discuss the reasons why people don’t like AI． D．To find out ways to attract more people to use AI．
