Benjamin couldn't wait to start writing，so he sat down and didn't look up until he finished.A few hours later，he showed the poem to his parents.Their faces were covered with tears.
"I am odd （奇怪的），I am new，" Benjamin wrote in the poem. "I wonder if you are too.I hear voices in the air，I see you don't and that's not fair." "I feel like a boy in outer space，I touch the stars and feel out of place，" he went on to write.
"At first，we felt sad and hurt that he feels lonely，misunderstood and odd at school，" Giroux said. "As the poem went on，we realized that he understands that he's odd and that so is everyone else in their own way.This is what Ben wants everyone to know. "
Benjamin was expected to read his poem aloud to the class the following day，but upon waking up that morning，he refused to go to school and stayed home.He didn't think his poem was any good.
His dad posted （發(fā)帖） it on the internet in hopes of getting some encouraging comments from family and friends.Once the National Autism Organization saw the photo，they posted it to their page，where thousands of strangers shared how much the poem inspired them.

9．When your boss calls and tells you to send ﹩100，000 to a supplier，be on your toes.It could be a fake call.As if fake emails weren't enough，on the rise now is the deep fake audio （虛假音頻） that can be cloned to sound almost real and perfect and is easy to create. "It's on the rise，and something to watch out for，" says Vijay Balasubramaniyan，the CEO of a company called Pindrop.
Balasubramaniyan stated during a safety meeting how easy it is to use machine to create sentences that a person probably never said from recorded words. "All you need is five minutes of audio，and you can create fake audio，" says Balasubramaniyan.Then，he showed a database （數(shù)據(jù)庫） of voices，typed a sentence，and connected it to a famous people's name on the list.A few seconds later，he clicked "play"，and it sounded quite real.
More costly are fake phone calls，where cheaters are able to fake the phone number of real contacts and make calls that result in workers sending off lots of money.He mentioned the example of a United Kingdom energy company in 2019 that got attacked by deep fake audio in a call that asked a worker to send ﹩243，000 to a supplier.Reported by the Wall Street Journal，the worker was directed to pay it within an hour.
Balasubramaniyan says if you were to get that kind of call from a "boss"，be doubtful and ask to call back right away to prove authenticity （真實性）.Besides this，in his opinion，companies need to use more safety measures for keeping up with deep fake artificial intelligence （AI） that produces phone calls and software to check authenticity versus fake calls. "This is a threat that's waiting to happen，" he says. "It's a very small number now，but it's very real."
（1）Why does the author say "be on your toes" in the first paragraph？
A．To tell people to make an excuse.
B．To ask people to obey the order.
C．To warn people to be careful.
D．To advise people to put off the deal.
（2）How is fake audio usually made according to Paragraph 2？
A．By attacking the Internet.

D．By copying some old audio.
（3）Why is the example of a United Kingdom energy company mentioned？
A．To show the terrible result of fake audio.
B．To point out the company's safety problems.
C．To explain the Internet support of fake audio.
D．To study the communication methods of the company.

10．The Secret of Raising Happy Children
Raising children is a job that is never quite done.But here are a few simple tips that may help you to raise happy children.
1.Share Your Feelings
Of course，everyone may occasionally feel angry or awkward.（1）Instead，you should try to show your children that you aren't just a parent but also a human being.Not only will your children feel closer to you，but they may feel safe enough to share their negative emotions with you.
2.Play a Game in the Park
（2）Not only will you all be working out，but you will be spending quality time together，too.In this way the relationship between you and your children can be greatly improved.
3.Bond with Your Children
If your child is crying for attention，don't just keep silent or go for a drive outside.Instead，take your child in your arms and waltz （跳華爾茲舞） around the room.The more exaggerated （夸張的） your movements，the better.（3）The child will feel safer and more secure，making him or her happier and healthier in the future.
4.（4）
The evening meal is often the only time of day when the family can get together in one place.（5）Use the time to share news of your day，make weekend plans and enjoy one another's company.Research shows that children who dine with their family at least twice a week are less likely to smoke and use drugs and they tend to get better exam results.
A.Have a family game time
B.Set dinner time
C.So make dinner a family affair.
D.Get the whole family together for a game of rugby in the park.
