In my childhood, my parents would take me to watch games. I loved the excitement I would feel when we went to watch these events, especially when the scores were close until the very end of the game. My meaningful attempt at sports began with T-ball at the age of three, progressed to the basketball court at six, and finally turned into a firm devotion to the game of baseball from the age of eight onward.
One of my most memorable moments was at the World Series when I was eleven and played on the Texas Rattlers. The July heat was unbearable. It was the semi-final game. Sweating like a pig, we ran into the dugout for our last at-bat (上场击球); we were down one run now. I was the second hitter and captain of the team, and I was ready for this moment. In the next few seconds, I had the chance to show my strength as a hitter and my ability to be a leader under pressure by hitting a home run! We carried the day!
As the team captain, I remember the time I had to give a speech to my team because we had lost an important game. I was nervous, but I knew it was my responsibility to cheer my team up when they were cast down. This experience has shaped my mind, making me become more independent, so I’m obtaining the ability to talk like a leader in front of my team and a group. Sports get it through my head that you can’t win at everything in life all the time.
On and of the field, I am more iron-willed, disciplined (遵守纪律的) and respectful, and a better leader. I have had so many awesome experiences through sports, which have taught me much and prepared me for the future. The memories of all the trips and diverse experiences I have had will be with me for a lifetime.

Automation(自动化)is increasingly affecting many fields, causing debates like“Are Robots Coming for Your Job ” While many believe that creativity and artistic taste remain unique to human beings, advances in artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能)challenge this idea.
For example, at Rutgers University's Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, AI has been developed to produce beautiful, original paintings. Similarly, Amper Music offers AI-driven music creation services. Users can choose the instruments, speed, and length of the piece, and the software produces an original piece that is also "performed"and "mixed"by AI.
Amper's software is great at creating background music suitable for reality TV shows, online videos, and student films. It focuses on the market for ready-made music.These Al-created art and music are polished and attractive, but they raise important questions: What is the value of art when it can be produced in large quantities without human effort
Consider the Mona Lisa: its value comes partly from its scarcity — there is only one original. In contrast, Amper can create a new high-quality music piece every time you click, and Elgammal's AI painter can produce thousands of unique artworks rapidly. This situation creates a mixed world where art remains unique yet easily produced.It makes us wonder whether people should pay for such works and what their prices should be.
This issue is real, not imaginary. Spotify recently attracted AI researcher Francois Pachet, who used to work at Sony, to develop tools for human composers(作曲家).However, there have been reports that Spotify's playlists included music from artists who don't actually exist, possibly allowing Spotify to avoid paying royalties (版税).While Spotify says the tracks were created by real people using fake(假的)names, there are still worries about whether AI could be used to produce free music,which could harm human musicians.
As machines and technology start to replace many jobs, even creative fields like art and music are affected. This raises questions about the need for rules or groups to protect artists and whether society will continue to value human-made art more than machine-made creations. Ultimately, we must consider the effects of AI in art and music—who should get recognition when an AI-created piece wins awards like the Grammys
8.What challenges the idea that creativity and artistic taste are unique to human beings
A.Robots doing physical tasks. B.AI making progress.
C.Robots learning to debate. D.AI knowing painting.
9.What does the underlined word"scarcity"in paragraph 4 mean
A.Having high quality. B.Being extremely hard to get.
C.Having natural beauty. D.Being impossible to copy
10.What does Francois Pachet do at Spotify
A.Creating playlists. B.Producing free music.
C.Paying royalties. D.Creating tools to help musicians.
11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A.Confidence of humans'artistic ability B.Ways to promote AI-created art.
C.Concerns about using AI in creative fields. D.The need for AI with human feelings.
It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and fraternized (打得火热) with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front. German troops held Christmas trees up out of the trenches (战壕) with signs, “Merry Christmas.”
“You no shoot, we no shoot.” Thousands of troops streamed across a no-man’s land filled with dead bodies. They sang Christmas carols, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared rations, played football, and even roasted some pigs. Soldiers embraced men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if the Generals (将军) forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.
It shocked the high command on either side. Here was disaster in the making: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. The generals on both sides declared this peacemaking to be wrong. Fifteen million would be killed.
Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (停战协议). On Christmas Day, 1988, a story in the Boston Globe mentioned that a local am radio host played “Christmas in the Trenches” several times and was surprised by the effect. The song became the most requested recording during the holidays in Boston on several am stations. “Some callers even telephone the host, deeply moved and in tears, asking, ‘What the hell did I just hear ’”
You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It gives us a glimpse of the world as we wish it could be and says, “This really happened once.” It reminds us of those thoughts we keep hidden away, out of the range of the TV and newspaper stories that tell us how trivial (微不足道的) and mean human life is. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really could be different.
12.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A.The troops celebrated their victories.
B.The generals forced their army to fight back.
C.The soldiers made peace with their enemies.
D.The soldiers decided to give in to their enemies.
13.What is the Generals’ attitude toward the soldiers’ actions
A.Supportive. B.Dissatisfied.
C.Objective. D.Positive.
14.Why were the callers in tears after they heard “Christmas in the Trenches”
A.The melody of the song was beautiful.
B.The song revealed the cruelty of the war.
C.The song touched their deepest hopes for peace.
D.The host’s heartfelt narration deeply moved the callers.
15.by does the author describe the Christmas Truce story as “like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true”
A.It criticize the role of the Generals in World War I.
B.It proves that wars can end through simple acts of kindness.
C.It shows that historical events are often exaggerated by later generations.
D.It reflects humanity’s hidden hope for a world defined by sympathy, not conflict.
What makes great storytelling for film There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it.
One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs (曲线球) that you don’t see coming. 16 The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. 17 If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view.
With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. 18 Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. 19
As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie What do they like doing and what interests them 20 That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistic from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to.
All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic.
A.The end involves the issues being resolved.
B.Don’t forget to focus on character development.
C.In the modern world everything moves at a fast speed.
D.If so, that desire can be ten times stronger in your film.
E.But they have a structure that isn’t too confusing to follow.
F.Doing market research will help you revise your film’s screenplay.
G.Making choices about the timing of events can heighten their impact.
