Chopsticks, or kuaizi in Chinese, are a pair of small sticks of equal length. The two chopsticks can work well together. ①

It is believed that the first chopsticks appeared over 5,000 years ago in ancient China.They were used for cooking and serving, but not as eating tools. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that chopsticks came into normal use for both serving and eating. The earliest evidence (证据) of a pair of chopsticks made out of bronze (黄铜) was found at Yinxu in Anyang, Henan, dating back to roughly 1200 B. C. Nowadays, bamboo and wood chopsticks are the most popular ones in Chinese homes.

② Chinese chopsticks are usually about 22~24 centimeters long. They are round on the eating end, which represents (代表) heaven. The other end is usually square, representing earth. This is because the greatest concern between heaven and earth is to keep enough supplies of food. There is an old custom in China. It is believed that chopsticks should be part of a girl’s dowry (嫁妆) since the pronunciation (发音) of kuaizi is similar to that of the words for “soon” and “son” in Chinese. It is still a popular good wish in China for newly married couples to have babies “soon”.

According to modern science, the long-term use of chopsticks makes one’s fingers flexible (灵活的). That is good for people’s health. ③ So, among the different kinds of tableware (餐具) today, chopsticks have special power. The culture of using kuaizi has spread to many other Asian countries. In Japan, people celebrate the Chopsticks Day on August 4 every year.

④ As an old saying goes, “A chopstick can be broken easily. Ten pairs of chopsticks, held together, are hard to break.” For thousands of years, Chinese people have favoured chopsticks not only because they are easy to use but also because they represent the great spirit of the Chinese people.

Get ready to meet ChatGPT, the coolest new buddy (朋友) in the world of computers! Imagine having a robot friend who’s super smart and loves to chat. That’s what ChatGPT is-a chatbot created by some clever people at a company called OpenAI. It’s designed to talk with you just like a real person would.

Here’s the fun part: when you ask GhatGPT something, it doesn’t just throw a lot of links (链接) at you like a search engine. Instead, it gives you answers in a friendly, easy-to-understand way. It’s like having a conversation with a buddy who knows a lot!

But wait, there’s more! ChatGPT can remember what you talked about before. So, if you ask follow-up questions, it knows exactly what you’re talking about. It’s like having a chat with your best friend who remembers all your stories.

And guess what else? ChatGPT can be super creative! If you’re in the mood for a song or a poem, just ask. Need help with homework or want a cool story? ChatGPT has got your back. It can even give advice on things like making friends or getting ready for a big day.

But, just like any friend, ChatGPT isn’t perfect. Sometimes it might get things a bit mixed up or be a little off with its answers. That’s okay, though! It’s still learning, just like us. It’s always a good idea to double-check the facts, especially if it’s something really important.

So, next time you’re curious about something or just want to have a fun chat, give ChatGPT a try. It’s like having a little helper and storyteller all rolled into one! Just remember, it’s always good to think for yourself too. Happy chatting!
