For 60-year-old Gao Ruyi,the proudest achievement in his life is not measured in honors

or riches but in the wings of over 1,000 swans he has rescued.Gao,former director of the

wildlife rescue station in Sanmenxia,Henan province,has guarded swans and the ecosystems

they live infor almost four decades.His efforts have earned him the name“Swan Dad”.

Gao Ruyi grew up near the Yellow River, China's second-longest river.He had little

connection to swans until the winter of 1988 when one day the peacefulness of the riverside

was broken by gunshots.Rushing to the scene,he found that someone had opened fire on the

swans.The heart-wrenching cries of four wounded swans left a deep-rooted mark on

him.Since then,Gao has become a guardian of swans and a witness to the swan protection

efforts along the Yellow River.

The endeavor(努力)is not without its challenges.

Gao started working at a wildlife rescue station in the Yellow River wetland in

Sanmenxia in

1994.Despite their efforts,illegal activities continued.One such tragedy happened in

1998.Several wild ducks and swans were poisoned.Gao immediately called the police and

provided treatment for the feathery victims.“Swans have memories,”he said,“Since the

incident,nobody saw swans in the area for many years."

Still,Gao's passion for swan protection has never waned.He and many other"swan dads"

and“swan moms”often visited nearby villages to educate residents about wildlife

conservation, and encouraged them to bring sick or injured wild animals to the rescue station.

Another challenge for the birds came from the environment.Swan populations in

Sanmenxia were limited in the 1990s due to severe pollution caused by mining and industrial

development,said Gao.In the past decades,however,China started extensive efforts to battle

pollution in the Yellow River basin,and gradually,swan populations in the Sanmenxia section

began to increase.Tens of thousands of swans are flying back home,marking the start of"swan

season",as the locals affectionately call it.

B.Good-tempered

D.Kind-hearted.

5.What did Gao Ruyi do to meet the challenges?

A.He started a wildlife rescue station.

B.He educated people to raise awareness.

C.He cured sick or injured wild swans.

D.He worked with government to fight pollution.

6.What does the underlined word“waned”most probably mean?

A.Recovered.

B.Expanded.

C.Benefited.

D.Declined

7.What is the best title for this text?

A.Yellow River Birds Saved by“Swan Dad”

B.Illegal Activities Done to Swans Continue

C.Yellow River Pollution Problems Solved by Government

D.“Swan Season”Is Witnessed in Sanmenxia Section of Yellow River

From AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos,AI can be used to make funny stuff.

But can it be as funny as a human?And if it can,does it present a danger to comedy writers in

the future? That's something performers have been looking at in this year's Edinburgh Festival

Fringe,running from Aug.4 to Aug.28.

Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe,and this year even robots were getting in on the

act.One of Fringe's big shows used a small robot to come up with jokes from audiences'

suggestions,which were then performed by humans.The results could be very funny,but

sometimes they weren't funny at all.That was part of the point,explained Piotr Mirowski,the

show's co-maker.“We do not use humans to‘show off”AI;instead,we use AI‘to show' its

limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage,"said Mirowski,according to The

Guardian.

Comedian Pierre Novellie said that it will take a long time for AI to get good at creating

comedy.“Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near,"Pierre told Sky News." Even

normal human comedians struggle to‘tune' their jokes‘for' the right crowd at the right

time,every time.But that's what's interesting about stand-up(独角喜剧)and fun.”

But Peter Bazely,a performer at the Fringe,said he's using AI to make jokes for him
