What Kids Eat for Lunch Around the World
Australia
While Aussies are largely lunchbox people, Australian schools have indoor and outdoor canteens, where students order from a menu of snacks and standard dishes like hot dogs, meat pies, and sausage rolls.
Brazil
Brazil began one of the world’s oldest school feeding programs in 1955, providing lunch for more than 43 million children. The Guideline 2009 limited processed foods and sugars and required schools to offer students one third of their daily nutritional requirements. A school lunch might include meat with vegetables, rice and beans, fresh-baked bread, salad and banana.
France
Unsurprisingly, France takes food seriously, especially school lunches. Each lunch usually has a multicourse meal including a raw vegetable starter and dairy course and a warm main meal with more vegetables, followed by a dessert.
Cuba
Cuban schools provide free lunches that usually feature rice, beans, hard-boiled eggs, vegetables such as sliced tomatoes, and a dessert. Children bring their own drinks and sometimes some snacks from home.
Japan
In Japan, children are typically used to at least trying every food on their plates out of respect for its preparation. A traditional lunch usually consists of local and seasonal ingredients that result in healthy meals such as heart y soups and stews, grilled fish, seasoned rice, and fried noodles. Each lunch contains a specific number of calories.
21. What is the main feature of Brazilian lunch
A. It’s free of charge. B. It’s nutritionally balanced.
C. It’s served off campus. D. It’s ordered in the canteens.
22. What do French lunch and Cuban lunch have in common
A. Neither has milk and eggs. B. Neither has rice and noodles.
C. Both include drinks and snacks. D. Both include desserts and vegetables.
23. What do we know about Japanese lunch
A. It is prepared by the elders. B. It is limited in diversity.
C. It is made from fresh ingredients. D. It contains too much fat.

I first saw a real durian (榴莲) in an Asian supermarket in Queens. That strange-looking fruit was big, heavy, and covered with sharp pricks (刺). I decided to buy one. The Chinese checkout girl carefully wrapped it thickly in a newspaper before putting it into a shopping bag.
On the train home, I cautiously opened the Chinese newspaper and lifted it out. Its strangeness made me think of kung fu, yoga and Taijiquan.
Upon arriving home, I dug out the biggest knife and cut through the tough prickly husk (壳). I tasted the pale-yellow flesh, delicious!
After that, durian was my favourite fruit. My skill at cutting durian open was improving. I showed the skill to my girlfriend.
A few years later, we moved to Taiwan. One day I noticed some durians had begun to open by themselves. The owner tried to get me to buy one but I shook my head, thinking it was far-gone. Instead I selected one whose outer husk wasn’t open.
The next morning I woke up to a strong durian smell. I found a small crack (裂缝) had appeared all on its own. I used the smallest pressure and tasted a more delicious durian. Suddenly, I realized something. I had felt so satisfied with my own skill in opening the durian that I never thought about letting the durian open itself. The higher art was not in doing but in not doing — letting the thing happen on its own in the way it happens best.
24. Why did the Chinese checkout girl wrap the durian thickly in a newspaper
A. To decorate the durian. B. To stop the durian from falling apart.
C. To prevent the author from being hurt. D. To encourage the author to read Chinese.
25. What came to the author’s mind when he looked at the durian on the way home
A. A strange fruit. B. A delicious dinner.
C. Other passengers’ attention. D. Some symbols of Asian culture.
26. Why didn’t the author take the recommended durian
A. He thought it was too ripe. B. He enjoyed the selection of durian.
C. He wanted a chance to show his skill. D. He preferred the durian with open husk.
27. What message did the author want to share
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Let nature take its course.
C. Interest is the best teacher. D. Kill two birds with one stone.
C
In a fast developing world, many old-fashioned skills seem to be disappearing. It’s hard to find people who know such skills as sewing, but a few decades ago, it was common for every person to learn them.
Now many would think sewing isn’t as useful today. The garment (服装) industry is producing clothing that is cheaper, faster and more fashionable than ever, making it possible to buy a suit for less than $10 at home.
However, that doesn’t mean clothing isn’t indestructible (破坏不了的). Garments with simple tears that could be fixed in seconds with a needle are just thrown away. This causes more than 26 billion pounds of garbage and millions of dollars wasted because of a tear. Even dirty or worn clothing that still has plenty of usable cloth is being thrown away.
The ability to create hand-made clothes doesn’t only reduce waste. It is also tailor-made just for you. Most buy clothes made for a general body type, and to get it tailored by a professional is expensive. So why not do it yourself
Perhaps the greatest problem of sewing is simply the time involved. Buying a skirt online takes a few seconds. Making a skirt can take weeks. But learning to sew doesn’t always involve complicated projects. Instead they might just be simple adjustments to help the garments fit or match your style.
Schools could easily teach sewing. Yet, they focus more on college preparations, ignoring traditional skills. Actually sewing is a valuable skill to be used in daily life. It wouldn’t take much time to teach children how to sew.
So, instead of letting old things die in this new age of the Internet, how about learning some of the lost skills that helped us for so long
28. Why do some people think the sewing skill is less useful
A. Because cloth is too expensive. B. Because sewing is a bit boring to learn.
C. Because hand-made things are easily broken. D. Because clothes are cheaper and convenient to buy.
29. Which benefit of sewing is talked about in Paragraph 3
A. It contributes to creativity. B. It’s environmentally-friendly.
C. It pushes the garment industry. D. It gives costumers a typical look.
30. How do schools treat traditional skills
A. They make the skills easy to learn. B. They set the skills as basic subjects.
C. They make every effort to teach the skills. D. They fail to give the skills enough attention.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to the old-fashioned skills
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Opposing.
D
Do you remember that cold you had when you were 10 No Well, your body does. Each time you faced some viruses, and after you fought them off, your body stored a memory to recognize these threats if they appeared again. It is the memory of cell in your immune system (免疫系统).
The immune system is so adaptable and long-lasting that it might be able to help our bodies to become immune to viruses we’ve never met, or even give us universal immunity. But how does it do the job
Our first level of defense is physical, like your skin. If something goes through skin, your second line of defense comes into action. White blood cells will search your body for these dangers and attack them. They’ll call in helpers to kill the dangers, and start an alarm system called inflammation (发炎). This is your body’s innate (先天的) immune system at work.
But it isn’t always enough, especially if a more serious threat appears. Some viruses can double in your body every 20 minutes. This can quickly defeat that innate immune system, but luckily, we’ve developed a more complicated line of defense to stop these terrible enemies: the adaptive immune response.
This army of cells is like your body’s special army, and its best soldiers are antibodies (抗体). Each antibody carries a unique area with a special shape that allows it to latch onto one particular enemy, just like a key fits into its lock. When one antibody catches its enemy, it can work together with all your body’s defenses to fight this enemy. And your immune system learns from this fight so it can attack even more strongly if you ever meet that enemy again in the future. That’s called being immune to something.
32. What is the function of our memory of cell
A. It works as a warning of our health condition.
B. It strengthens our immune system as we grow older.
C. It helps to identify the bacteria our body has met before.
D. It stops us suffering from the same disease again and again.
33. What do we know from Paragraph 3
A. Inflammation is a preventive response. B. The first level of defense is easy to break.
C. White blood cells often work independently. D. Helpers may build an alarm system against enemies.
34. What does the underlined phrase “latch onto” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Seize. B. Free. C. Monitor. D. Suspect.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. How the viruses try to get into our body. B. What we should do to keep from new illnesses.
C. How the immune system helps us fight diseases. D. What our minds do to store the sickness memory.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My dad was always building and repairing things. When he was six, he sawed (锯) the legs of the dining-room table in half so he could sit at it more comfortably. By the time he was ten, he’d formed a bicycle from useless parts. He did the same in his 20s with a used car. Building taught him the value of solving a problem with his own hands.
I was almost seven when one day Dad and I walked by a toy store window. There in the corner was the most unusual doll house I’d ever seen. Little egg-shaped windows were cut into it, with tiny balconies.
“Oh, Daddy,” I said, “isn’t it beautiful Can you buy it for me as a birthday gift ”
My father looked at the price — $100 — too much in those days. “I think we can’t afford this house,” he joked. I was quite disappointed at the reply and angry. “But I will build one for you,” Dad then added.
Though I had known about Dad’s building skills, I cast a doubtful eye on him and fell into complete silence.
Days later, after the doll house was almost forgotten, Dad, despite all the unfinished projects at home, started making one for me. Night after night, Dad would come home from work very tired, yet he’d always find time to work on the doll house. He cut, sawed, painted, and did all that was necessary. In those days, the small yard was occupied by various instruments that Dad needed and things that Dad produced for later use. Our ears had got used to all the noise. Every morning, I was greeted by something new that Dad had made the previous night. I was so excited. Dad even added a tiny path to the front door.
The doll house was the greatest gift a child could ask for and it kept me company for over ten years.

Multiple activities like singing, dancing, crosstalk, and a magic show, kept us laughing and cheering.

第二节（满分25分）
【参考范文】
One day, when getting ready for college in another city, I accidentally dropped it on the ground. Seeing it in pieces, I cried. Scenes of my coming across the doll house in the store and Dad spending much of his rest time making it came flooding into my mind, leaving me unable to say a word. To me, life without the company of my doll house was beyond imagination. Dad, however, just smiled at me, in his usual way. Patting my shoulders, he said gently, “Don’t worry. I can repair it.”
On Christmas day, entering my room, I was truly amazed by what I saw. Sitting on my desk was an even more beautiful doll house, shining invitingly at me. At that moment, I could not wait to hold it close to my eyes and admire it with full happiness. Turning around, I was greeted by Dad’s gentle smile. Before I was able to say a word, he said, “Dad can build it, always. Remember, solving our problems with our own hands is always the best policy.” With tears flowing down my cheeks, I put my arms around Dad.

Text 10
I’m a 3D artist working in the computer game industry. Lots of people study computer graphics before they get a job in the game industry, but I’m classically trained. I went to the College of Art and although I applied to do software design there, I chose book illustration in the end as I thought that would give me all the skills I needed. As a 3D artist, I have to create different characters for the new games. I’ve worked on some really famous characters like an international spy or a hardworking tailor, but now I spend most of my time on a sea monster for a horror game. In a computer game, it’s not just about how a character looks, but how it moves. The movements are filmed on video cameras. We have powerful computer software that can use the recordings and so much of the animation today is automatic. This animation isn’t perfect though and there is Mr. Jones, whose job is to better the animation produced by the software. It’s a really competitive industry and if a game company can’t make fine games, then they might not get any more work.

What Kids Eat for Lunch Around the World
Australia
While Aussies are largely lunchbox people, Australian schools have indoor and outdoor canteens, where students order from a menu of snacks and standard dishes like hot dogs, meat pies, and sausage rolls.
Brazil
Brazil began one of the world’s oldest school feeding programs in 1955, providing lunch for more than 43 million children. The Guideline 2009 limited processed foods and sugars and required schools to offer students one third of their daily nutritional requirements. A school lunch might include meat with vegetables, rice and beans, fresh-baked bread, salad and banana.
France
Unsurprisingly, France takes food seriously, especially school lunches. Each lunch usually has a multicourse meal including a raw vegetable starter and dairy course and a warm main meal with more vegetables, followed by a dessert.
Cuba
Cuban schools provide free lunches that usually feature rice, beans, hard-boiled eggs, vegetables such as sliced tomatoes, and a dessert. Children bring their own drinks and sometimes some snacks from home.
Japan
In Japan, children are typically used to at least trying every food on their plates out of respect for its preparation. A traditional lunch usually consists of local and seasonal ingredients that result in healthy meals such as heart y soups and stews, grilled fish, seasoned rice, and fried noodles. Each lunch contains a specific number of calories.
21. What is the main feature of Brazilian lunch
A. It’s free of charge. B. It’s nutritionally balanced.
C. It’s served off campus. D. It’s ordered in the canteens.
22. What do French lunch and Cuban lunch have in common
A. Neither has milk and eggs. B. Neither has rice and noodles.
C. Both include drinks and snacks. D. Both include desserts and vegetables.
23. What do we know about Japanese lunch
A. It is prepared by the elders. B. It is limited in diversity.
C. It is made from fresh ingredients. D. It contains too much fat.

I first saw a real durian (榴莲) in an Asian supermarket in Queens. That strange-looking fruit was big, heavy, and covered with sharp pricks (刺). I decided to buy one. The Chinese checkout girl carefully wrapped it thickly in a newspaper before putting it into a shopping bag.
On the train home, I cautiously opened the Chinese newspaper and lifted it out. Its strangeness made me think of kung fu, yoga and Taijiquan.
Upon arriving home, I dug out the biggest knife and cut through the tough prickly husk (壳). I tasted the pale-yellow flesh, delicious!
After that, durian was my favourite fruit. My skill at cutting durian open was improving. I showed the skill to my girlfriend.
A few years later, we moved to Taiwan. One day I noticed some durians had begun to open by themselves. The owner tried to get me to buy one but I shook my head, thinking it was far-gone. Instead I selected one whose outer husk wasn’t open.
The next morning I woke up to a strong durian smell. I found a small crack (裂缝) had appeared all on its own. I used the smallest pressure and tasted a more delicious durian. Suddenly, I realized something. I had felt so satisfied with my own skill in opening the durian that I never thought about letting the durian open itself. The higher art was not in doing but in not doing — letting the thing happen on its own in the way it happens best.
24. Why did the Chinese checkout girl wrap the durian thickly in a newspaper
A. To decorate the durian. B. To stop the durian from falling apart.
C. To prevent the author from being hurt. D. To encourage the author to read Chinese.
25. What came to the author’s mind when he looked at the durian on the way home
A. A strange fruit. B. A delicious dinner.
C. Other passengers’ attention. D. Some symbols of Asian culture.
26. Why didn’t the author take the recommended durian
A. He thought it was too ripe. B. He enjoyed the selection of durian.
C. He wanted a chance to show his skill. D. He preferred the durian with open husk.
27. What message did the author want to share
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Let nature take its course.
C. Interest is the best teacher. D. Kill two birds with one stone.
C
In a fast developing world, many old-fashioned skills seem to be disappearing. It’s hard to find people who know such skills as sewing, but a few decades ago, it was common for every person to learn them.
Now many would think sewing isn’t as useful today. The garment (服装) industry is producing clothing that is cheaper, faster and more fashionable than ever, making it possible to buy a suit for less than $10 at home.
However, that doesn’t mean clothing isn’t indestructible (破坏不了的). Garments with simple tears that could be fixed in seconds with a needle are just thrown away. This causes more than 26 billion pounds of garbage and millions of dollars wasted because of a tear. Even dirty or worn clothing that still has plenty of usable cloth is being thrown away.
The ability to create hand-made clothes doesn’t only reduce waste. It is also tailor-made just for you. Most buy clothes made for a general body type, and to get it tailored by a professional is expensive. So why not do it yourself
Perhaps the greatest problem of sewing is simply the time involved. Buying a skirt online takes a few seconds. Making a skirt can take weeks. But learning to sew doesn’t always involve complicated projects. Instead they might just be simple adjustments to help the garments fit or match your style.
Schools could easily teach sewing. Yet, they focus more on college preparations, ignoring traditional skills. Actually sewing is a valuable skill to be used in daily life. It wouldn’t take much time to teach children how to sew.
So, instead of letting old things die in this new age of the Internet, how about learning some of the lost skills that helped us for so long
28. Why do some people think the sewing skill is less useful
A. Because cloth is too expensive. B. Because sewing is a bit boring to learn.
C. Because hand-made things are easily broken. D. Because clothes are cheaper and convenient to buy.
29. Which benefit of sewing is talked about in Paragraph 3
A. It contributes to creativity. B. It’s environmentally-friendly.
C. It pushes the garment industry. D. It gives costumers a typical look.
30. How do schools treat traditional skills
A. They make the skills easy to learn. B. They set the skills as basic subjects.
C. They make every effort to teach the skills. D. They fail to give the skills enough attention.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to the old-fashioned skills
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Opposing.
D
Do you remember that cold you had when you were 10 No Well, your body does. Each time you faced some viruses, and after you fought them off, your body stored a memory to recognize these threats if they appeared again. It is the memory of cell in your immune system (免疫系统).
The immune system is so adaptable and long-lasting that it might be able to help our bodies to become immune to viruses we’ve never met, or even give us universal immunity. But how does it do the job
Our first level of defense is physical, like your skin. If something goes through skin, your second line of defense comes into action. White blood cells will search your body for these dangers and attack them. They’ll call in helpers to kill the dangers, and start an alarm system called inflammation (发炎). This is your body’s innate (先天的) immune system at work.
But it isn’t always enough, especially if a more serious threat appears. Some viruses can double in your body every 20 minutes. This can quickly defeat that innate immune system, but luckily, we’ve developed a more complicated line of defense to stop these terrible enemies: the adaptive immune response.
This army of cells is like your body’s special army, and its best soldiers are antibodies (抗体). Each antibody carries a unique area with a special shape that allows it to latch onto one particular enemy, just like a key fits into its lock. When one antibody catches its enemy, it can work together with all your body’s defenses to fight this enemy. And your immune system learns from this fight so it can attack even more strongly if you ever meet that enemy again in the future. That’s called being immune to something.
32. What is the function of our memory of cell
A. It works as a warning of our health condition.
B. It strengthens our immune system as we grow older.
C. It helps to identify the bacteria our body has met before.
D. It stops us suffering from the same disease again and again.
33. What do we know from Paragraph 3
A. Inflammation is a preventive response. B. The first level of defense is easy to break.
C. White blood cells often work independently. D. Helpers may build an alarm system against enemies.
34. What does the underlined phrase “latch onto” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Seize. B. Free. C. Monitor. D. Suspect.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. How the viruses try to get into our body. B. What we should do to keep from new illnesses.
C. How the immune system helps us fight diseases. D. What our minds do to store the sickness memory.

By the time he was ten, he’d formed a bicycle from useless parts. He did the same in his 20s with a used car. Building taught him the value of solving a problem with his own hands.
I was almost seven when one day Dad and I walked by a toy store window. There in the corner was the most unusual doll house I’d ever seen. Little egg-shaped windows were cut into it, with tiny balconies.
“Oh, Daddy,” I said, “isn’t it beautiful Can you buy it for me as a birthday gift ”
My father looked at the price — $100 — too much in those days. “I think we can’t afford this house,” he joked. I was quite disappointed at the reply and angry. “But I will build one for you,” Dad then added.
Though I had known about Dad’s building skills, I cast a doubtful eye on him and fell into complete silence.
Days later, after the doll house was almost forgotten, Dad, despite all the unfinished projects at home, started making one for me. Night after night, Dad would come home from work very tired, yet he’d always find time to work on the doll house. He cut, sawed, painted, and did all that was necessary. In those days, the small yard was occupied by various instruments that Dad needed and things that Dad produced for later use. Our ears had got used to all the noise. Every morning, I was greeted by something new that Dad had made the previous night. I was so excited. Dad even added a tiny path to the front door.
The doll house was the greatest gift a child could ask for and it kept me company for over ten years.

To welcome the new year, a big party was held in our classroom from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on December 29th, with all the students and teachers participating.
Multiple activities like singing, dancing, crosstalk, and a magic show, kept us laughing and cheering. What impressed us most was the interaction with the teachers in the game “Musical Chairs”, where we were almost breathless with nervousness when the music stopped, then followed by a burst of laughter.
The party witnessed our joy and excitement, a fantastic way to greet 2024!
第二节（满分25分）
【参考范文】
One day, when getting ready for college in another city, I accidentally dropped it on the ground. Seeing it in pieces, I cried. Scenes of my coming across the doll house in the store and Dad spending much of his rest time making it came flooding into my mind, leaving me unable to say a word. To me, life without the company of my doll house was beyond imagination. Dad, however, just smiled at me, in his usual way. Patting my shoulders, he said gently, “Don’t worry. I can repair it.”
On Christmas day, entering my room, I was truly amazed by what I saw. Sitting on my desk was an even more beautiful doll house, shining invitingly at me. At that moment, I could not wait to hold it close to my eyes and admire it with full happiness. Turning around, I was greeted by Dad’s gentle smile. Before I was able to say a word, he said, “Dad can build it, always. Remember, solving our problems with our own hands is always the best policy.” With tears flowing down my cheeks, I put my arms around Dad.

21. B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二、第三句可知，2009年的指南限制了加工食品和糖，并要求学校为学生提供每日营养需求的三分之一，学校的午餐可能包括蔬菜、肉、米饭和豆类、新鲜出炉的面包、沙拉和香蕉，即巴西学生午餐营养平衡，故选B。
22. D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句及第四段第一句可知，法国和巴西的学生午餐都有甜点和蔬菜，故选D。

24. C 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“那种看起来很奇怪的水果又大又重，上面覆盖着尖锐的刺”可推断，中国收银台女孩仔细地用报纸厚厚地包裹榴莲是为了防止作者被榴莲的刺扎伤，故选C。
25. D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，榴莲的陌生感让作者想起了功夫、瑜伽和太极拳，而这正是亚洲文化的一些象征，故选D。
26. A 细节理解题。根据第五段“搬到台湾后，一天，我注意到一些榴莲的壳已经自己裂开了。店主想让我买一个，但我摇了摇头，觉得它已太过头了。相反，我选择了一个外壳没有裂开的”，可知，作者不愿买店主推荐的榴莲的原因是觉得它熟得太过头了，故选A。
27. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句话“突然，我意识到了一些事情。我对自己开榴莲的技巧感到非常满意，以至于我从来没有想过让榴莲的壳自己裂开。更高的艺术不是在做，而是在不做——让事情以它最好的方式自己发生。”可推断，作者想分享的感悟是“做事应该顺其自然”，故选B。
C
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。传统技能——缝纫值得保留和学习吗？
28. D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，现在很多人认为缝纫没有那么有用的原因是，现在服装行业批量生产的服装比以往任何时候都更便宜、更快、更时尚，人们在家里花不到10美元就可以买到一套西装，故选D。
29. B 段落主旨题。“然而，衣服不可能永远不破损。一个破洞用针几秒钟就可以补好，这样的衣服却被扔掉，造成了260多亿磅的垃圾和数百万美元的浪费。即使是布料还可利用的脏或破衣服也被扔掉”，可知本段主要讲的是缝纫的优点——有助于环保，故选B。
30. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一、二句“学校可以轻松地教缝纫。然而，他们更多关注大学的备考，而忽视了传统的技能”可知，学校没有给到足够的重视，故选D。

D
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。免疫系统是如何保护我们的身体的？
32. C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，每次你面对一些病毒入侵身体，在你击退它们之后，你的身体就会储存一段记忆，如果这些威胁再次出现，你就能识别它们。它就是免疫系统中的细胞记忆，故选C。
33. A 推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句“第二道防线采取行动时，白细胞会搜索你的身体，寻找并攻击这些危险。他们会召集帮手来杀死这些入侵者，并启动一个名为炎症的警报系统。这就是身体的先天免疫系统”，可推断炎症是一种预防性反应，故选A。
34. A 词义猜测题。根据前一句话可知，这支细胞军队就像你身体里的特种部队，它最优秀的士兵就是抗体。每一种抗体都带有一个独特的区域，具有特殊的形状，使它能够抓住一个特定的敌人，就像一把钥匙对应一把锁一样。后一句“当一个抗体抓住它的敌人时，它可以和你身体的防御一起对抗这个敌人”中的“catch”是提示，把抗体比喻成优秀的士兵，它能抓住并消灭敌人，故选A。
35. C 标题判断题。本文介绍了免疫系统如何帮助我们获得免疫力来抵抗病毒的侵害。故选C。

I’m a 3D artist working in the computer game industry. Lots of people study computer graphics before they get a job in the game industry, but I’m classically trained. I went to the College of Art and although I applied to do software design there, I chose book illustration in the end as I thought that would give me all the skills I needed. As a 3D artist, I have to create different characters for the new games. I’ve worked on some really famous characters like an international spy or a hardworking tailor, but now I spend most of my time on a sea monster for a horror game. In a computer game, it’s not just about how a character looks, but how it moves. The movements are filmed on video cameras. We have powerful computer software that can use the recordings and so much of the animation today is automatic. This animation isn’t perfect though and there is Mr. Jones, whose job is to better the animation produced by the software. It’s a really competitive industry and if a game company can’t make fine games, then they might not get any more work.
