B
Jiang Shumei learned her first Chinese character at the age of 60. Now, the 87-year-old
grandmother from Northeast China’s Heilongjiang province is the proud author of six books.
“I wasn’t educated as a child. I never imagined, even in my wildest dreams, that I would publish
a book one day,” says the resident of Suihua city. Her books detail the chaos of wartime and the
hardship during the famine, and vividly retell anecdotes over the decades.
The elderly woman had her own way of learning. She composed lyrics for songs, and asked
children to write them down, so that she could read each character as she sang the songs again and
again. Whenever she came across characters she didn’t know on pamphlets（小册子）, bus stops, or
shop signs, she found someone to ask.
She first put pen to paper in 2012, at the age of 75. It was not easy. Sometimes, completing a
single sentence could take a day. As a college teacher and a writer herself, Zhang Ailing, Jiang
Shumei’s daughter, gave her mother a lot of encouragement and help. She told her that while
writing, she should imagine herself telling stories to an audience, so that they would be easier to
understand and be full of interesting details.
Zhang was also her first editor. Every time her mother finished writing something, she would
discuss the manuscript（手稿）with her and check it over before typing it on the computer. Zhang
began publishing her mother’s stories on social media platforms in 2013. When they drew the
attention of her writer friends, the pair made the decision to publish them.
The first book, Time of Trouble, Time of Poverty, was published later that year, and proved to
be a success. The book earned Jiang a lot of fans and sympathy. So far, the elderly woman has
published six books, totaling more than 600, 000 characters in length. In her spare time, she is also
learning painting and calligraphy. “I would like to be a writer, a painter and a calligrapher,” she says,
adding that her dream now is to have her own art exhibition when she is 90.
4. How did Jiang Shumei learn characters?
A. By reading books with her children.
B. By asking questions whenever she was free.
C. By going to a college to get herself educated.
D. By singing lyrics and memorizing characters around her.
5. Which of the following may contribute to Jiang Shumei’s success most?
A. Her hard-work and Zhang’s support.
B. The care and attention from the public.
C. The help from her friends and editors.
D. The popularity of social media platforms.
6. When did Jiang Shumei publish her first book?
A. At the age of 60. B. In the year 2012.
C. At her 87-year-old. D. In the year 2013.
7. Which of the following can best describe Jiang Shumei’s story?
A. Adversity makes a man wise.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. It is never too old to learn.
D. Still water runs deep.

C
ChatGPT maker OpenAI from the United States stepped up the global artificial intelligence race
in mid-February when it released its text-to-video generation tool Sora. That made me wonder —
how long before China develops its own Sora? And, will AI become China’s critical new productive
force?
According to OpenAI’s explainer, Sora is capable of generating complex scenes with a very
high degree of accuracy, including multiple characters, specific types of movements, themes and
backgrounds. It understands not only what the user requests, but also how these things exist in the
physical world.
On Feb 16, Zhou Hongyi, founder of cybersecurity firm 360 Security Technology, said Sora
may bring a huge disruption to the advertising industry, movie trailers and the short-video industry;
what’s more, the realization of generative AI may be shortened from 10 years to one or two years.
“Although the development level of large-scale models in China seems to be close to GPT-3. 5,
there is still an 18-month gap compared to GPT-4. 0. OpenAI should still have an ace or two up its
sleeve, whether it is GPT-5. 0 or machine self-learning to generate content,” Zhou said, adding that
it is worth paying attention.
According to a report by the Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission, China had
developed at least 254 AI large language models by October last year. Currently, most domestic
large models still have a huge gap with GPT-4. 0.
But the country could make use of such frontier AI technologies in more industry-specific fields.
Or, to put it simply, China needs to apply such technologies to real use, to develop them into
productive forces and narrow the gap between itself and the US.
Though China still has a gap with the US in such a large model, Chinese AI startup ModelBest
Inc launched last month its latest lightweight large model, an emerging less expensive AI
technology that aims at more targeted commercialized fields.
8. What is Sora according to the passage?
A. It is a kind of new productive force for China.
B. It is an AI tool to produce videos out of texts.
C. It is an Internet user in the physical world.
D. It is a latest large-scale security model.
9. Which of the following is consistent with Zhou Hongyi’s opinion?
A. Sora will bring both challenges and chances.
B. Sora can understand users’ feelings at ease.
C. Sora has totally changed the movie industry.
D. Sora will soon be replaced by other AI tools.
10. What’s the author’s suggestion for China?
A. China’s domestic large models should be used in education.
B. China should take advantage of present AI technologies.
C. China should develop less expensive AI technology.
D. China should speed up its development in OpenAI.
