Below is a screenshot of book review on a bestseller My Life on Craigslist.
Krysi Joseph
4. 0 out of 5 stars
Odd, fun and cute story. Great read
This was a cute, lighthearted book that explores the life of a Craigslist addict, and how
Craiglist, a large free classifieds（分类广告）website, got her through her life so far. The story
was well thought out and pretty realistic when it comes to life struggles. It gets a little
unbelievable towards the end, and I don’t like it when authors conform to the’ the world is
perfect’ viewpoint most books have, but, that my pessimist breaking through. The book needs
some serious editing. She’s repeated the same exact line 3-4 times a couple of and... （click for

The book went along well. Funny and totally in the here and now. I would have given it

Beach or vacation read — it’s worth it!
I was intrigued by the description, so I gave it a shot. I’m glad I did. I was never like the
main character, Emily, so it’s interesting to read about her aimless life. She lives on Craigslist -
finding roommates, finding work, finding social...（click for more）

Lifting my spirits type unforgettable and funny book
I read and instantly loved this book, because it is witty and entertaining but at the same time

Smoking is even a tradition in Chinese celebrations. At my wedding, we handed out the
traditional candies to people who came. I had said to my wife, Ellen, that handing out packets of
cigarettes was wrong, as it just encouraged people to continue a deadly habit. “But it’s
traditional, ”she replied, “People would think we were mean if we don’t!”
Over the years I’ve been given cigarettes as gifts and have always handed them straight
back. This might make me look ungrateful in Chinese eyes, but I can’t understand the logic
behind handing someone a gift that will cause them to smell terrible, have awful breath, and
even worse, kill them.
This year the university I work at has taken the bold step of making the entire campus
“smoke free”. As my students are either doctors doing postgraduates studies, or medical students
on their way to being doctors, I thought they would be in favor of such a move, but I was wrong.
Many of them have complained to me that they see this as depriving them of their civil rights
and that they should be allowed to smoke when and where they like.
When I pointed out to them that cigarettes do harm not only to those smoking them, but even
to those breathing in second hand smoke, the argument was dismissed with a wave. “Those
studies aren’t conclusive”, one doctor replied. “Besides, my grandmother told me that smoking
is manly.” Tempting（诱人的）as it was to ask if she was also a doctor, I let the argument go
and was in search of some fresh air.
24. Which of the following is a consequence of smoking according to the author?
A. It will leave you breathless. B. People believe you arc mean.
C. People think you are ungrateful. D. It will make your smell unpleasant.
25. What attitude do many of the author’s students have towards the entire campus “smoke
free”?
A. Objective. B. Unconcerned.
C. Negative. D. Positive.
26. What does the underlined word “depriving” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Robbing. B. Accusing.
C. Informing. D. Reminding.
27. In which column of a newspaper is this text probably found?
A. Technology. B. Entertainment.
C. Art. D. Life.
C
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly good at fooling people. A series of photos
showing former US president Donald Trump being arrested by police have caught people’s
attention. They were fake but very convincing.
Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’
movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are
made by AI. The Washington Post’s technology writer Shira Ovide shared her tips. The main
idea is to spot the problems — anything that would look strange in a photo.
AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create
hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is,
according to Popular Science. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various
gestures, which can be very confusing for AI.
AI-generated images also usually contain details that are against reality. To spot this, focus
