the Internetsfront door.Google has dominated the field in most of the world.But nothing lasts forever,particularly intechnology.Just ask IBM,which once ruled business computing,or Nokia,once the

itself on centre stage,by letting people chat with an AIdirectly.ChatGPT can write essays in various styles,explain complex concepts,summarize texts and answerquestions.And it can collect,process and combine knowledge from the web:for example,listing holiday spots thatmatch certain criteria,or suggesting menus or schedules.If asked,it can explain its reasoning and provide details.Many things that

situation.Decades ago,students could copy encyclopedia entries,and more recently,theyve been able to search theInternet and explore into Wikipedia entries.ChatGPT offers new abilities for everything from helping with research to doing theirhomework for them.Many ChatGPT answers already sound like student essays.Ask the new artificial intelligence tool ChatGPTto write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a persuasive term paper in a matter ofseconds.It can even(narrowly)pass a number of exams.It scored 60%on the United States Medical

ChatGPT?A.Objective.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Ambiguous.DSingapore cannot afford to have large plots of land dedicated to growing crops-it is just too small.However,farming,or mnore precisely,urban farming,is now a buzz word here.Instead of looking at the grounds,Singapore hasdecided to look skyward,towards rooftops!In 2020,Singapore announced plans to convert the roofs of nine multistoreycar-parks in public housingareas into spaces for commercially farmed vegetables and other crops.This is part of Singapores strategy to meetthe countrys 30 by30 goal,which is to produce 30%of its nutritional needs locally by 2030 up from 10%in 2020.Several companies have taken on the task of cultivating the urban farming scene in Singapore.Citiponics has made a name for itself,building water-efficient organic growing towers that can beused to grow anything from butterhead lettuce（奶油生菜）to sweet basil（罗勒）InApril 2020，theyopened the first commercial farm on the rooftop of a multi-storey car park and now sell their producevia their own brand at local supermarkets.Edible Garden City(EGC)has more than 200farms across theisland and works closely with restaurants to ensure sustainable supply and demand.A 460-square-meterfarm run by EGC,is positioned on the rooftop of a mall to supply nearby restaurants.Singapore is not alone in its efforts to go beyond the confines of conventional agriculture.All over the world,cities are seeking to feed their communities with local produce.At Thammasat University located just outside ofBangkok,a formerly disused rooftop has been transformed into a 7,000-square-meter space for organic farming,thelargest inAsia.Urban farming is not restricted to eatable plants such as leafy greens and vegetables.Rooftop Honey,whichhas over 130 hives throughout various locations in Greater Melbourne specializes in bees.The urban beekeepingoperation,founded in 2010,serves two purposes:producing creamy and delicious honey for the citys residents whilealso allowing the bees to pollinate（授粉）flowers in the surrounding areas.There are several benefits to have the farms so close to home.Through community gardens or access tocommercial-scale farm produce,the public have an opportunity to understand how food is grown.As the produce ispesticide free,there is also comfort in knowing where the food comes from and its impact on the environment.32.Why is the limited land resource in Singapore mentioned in the first paragraph?A.To explain benefits of urban farming.B.To show the function of urban farming.C.To
