DeepSeek's effect on AI is more than just one model; it's about making AI use more open and changing new ideas, who can do better, and who controls things. By making a strong AI model free to use, DeepSeek has made it easier for more researchers, new small companies, and groups to build and use AI without only using big tech or government labs. (18) ______, showing that smart software and making computers work better can be just as good. However, this making things spread out makes rules harder. If no one main group controls things, open AI models can be freely used and modified, (19) ______. DeepSeek makes us think: Will AI's future be decided by a few rich Western companies and government labs, or by a wider, more open system? This choice will decide not just who uses AI but also (20) ______ . This change gives more different people the power to help make AI, possibly leading to more varied and new uses. (21) ______. However, the lack of one main control makes people worry about who is responsible and the chance of wrong use. The open way these models work means we need to think carefully about what is right and wrong. Also, we need to find new ways to use AI in a good way. (22) ______. This will, as a result, affect how AI becomes part of our communities. (Adapted from https://news.gsu.edu/2025/02/04/how-deepseek-is-changing-the-a-i-landscape/)

The escalating crisis of environmental pollution demands urgent global attention. Industrial activities, coupled with unsustainable consumption patterns, release a myriad of harmful substances into our air, water, and soil. This contamination disrupts delicate ecosystems, leading to biodiversity loss and threatening the health and well-being of both humans and wildlife. The consequences range from respiratory illnesses and waterborne diseases to the long-term degradation of vital natural resources. Deforestation, driven by agricultural expansion and logging, further exacerbates environmental challenges. The clearing of forests not only eliminates crucial habitats for countless species but also diminishes the planet's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, a primary driver of climate change. The loss of these natural carbon sinks contributes significantly to global warming and its associated impacts, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events,and disruptions to agricultural cycles. Climate change itself stands as a monumental environmental threat. The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, largely due to the burning of fossil fuels, is causing a significant rise in global temperatures. This warming trend is triggering a cascade of effects, including melting glaciers and polar ice caps, altered precipitation patterns, and more frequent and intense heat waves, droughts, and floods. These changes pose severe risks to food security, water availability, and human settlements. Addressing these complex environmental issues requires a multifaceted approach. Transitioning to renewable energy sources, adopting sustainable agricultural practices, promoting responsible waste management, and implementing robust conservation efforts are crucial steps. International cooperation, coupled with individual responsibility and a fundamental shift towards a more environmentally conscious way of life, is essential to mitigate the damage and safeguard the planet for future generations.

[I] Probably the most famous film commenting on twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936. [II] Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to describe working conditions in industrial Detroit. [III] Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. [IV] Within four or five years, these young men's health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories. The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp. Abruptly the scene shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory. However, the rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a gentler note of satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture. Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one third of the footage of Modern Times, but they contain some of the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in the process. Another popular scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labor to eat. The feeding machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin who is strapped into his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This serves to illustrate people's utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs. Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiments of many who feel they are victims of an over-mechanized world. (Adapted from TOEFL Success)
