An internationally praised cultural thing has introduced the attractive tale of Sun Wukong to audiences worldwide. But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British- American dual citizen living inCalifornia, this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for years.
Pourazar's lifelong passion for Peking Opera began by chance. In 1993, Pourazar attended a performance at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall and was immediately attracted to it. He went backstage right after the show
and made friends with the Chinese performers. With their help,Pourazar was enrolled at an opera school. Just
three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art.
Starting as an adult was not easy, as Peking Opera is a mixture of vocal performance, mime,martial arts,
dance and acrobatics. In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language caused another
problem."I was often reciting the subtitles and songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming," Pourazar said.
Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has buried himself in
introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences. He has also been teaching courses and organizing workshops in the United- States, bringing Peking Opera to curious Western learners. To better
connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted (改编) some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream into Peking Opera.
In recognition of his contributions, Pourazar received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government in 2014.“Cultural exchange should be reciprocal (互惠的). I aim to use my expertise in opera and my multicultural background to create enriching artistic experiences for the audiences,” said Pourazar.

B. To help Western audiences well understand Peking Opera.
C. To prove that Peking Opera is better than other art forms.

A challenge is a situation that tests your abilities. It needs hard work and courage to get
through. Challenges come from many sources, and knowing where they come from is the first
step toward dealing with them well.
The sources of challenges are often two-part: external (外部的) and internal. External
challenges come from the world around you such as moving to a new school, getting used to new study methods, or facing more competition from classmates. Unexpected things, like sudden
exams or group project pressure, can also be external challenges. Internal challenges come from
yourself.They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling
frightened and unsure about yourself—— these things can slow down your progress. Often, the
hardest challenges mix both external pressure and internal worries.
Successfully managing challenges requires a step-by-step method. First, look at the situation
clearly and honestly. If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For
example,instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on finishing the first small research. Secondly,actively look for resources (资源) and support. This could be about learning new
knowledge through study, improving skills with practice, or depending on the guidance of
teachers and the encouragement of friends. Having people to support you gives not only useful
tips but also courage and strength. Finally, build resilience. Setbacks (挫折) are a certain part on
the path to any meaningful goal—— they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal.
In short, challenges are something you can't avoid, and they' re necessary for growth. By
understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and carrying on with it without
giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better- both in your studies and
personal life.
8. Which can be considered an internal source of challenges
A. Uncertainty about the future. B. The development of AI technology.
C. Difficult Gaokao questions. D. A new living environment.
9. What should we do firstly when learning to use a video editing app according to the passage
A. Wait to see if it becomes easier. B. Learn new editing skills with practice.
C. Master its basic uses one by one. D. Ask friends for encouragement.
10. What does the underlined word“resilience” in paragraph 3 mean
A. The gift for solving problems. B. The knowledge of setting goals.
C. The decision to keep going. D. The ability to get back up.
11. What is the writer's opinion on challenges
A. They set back one's growth. B. They are a must for success.
C. They can be managed wisely. D. They come from inner thoughts.

Some police departments in Spain are experimenting with AI tools to help them produce
reports. Police officers who have tried the AI chatbots (聊天机器人) praise the technology as a time-saver. Yet some government lawyers, legal experts, and others have expressed concerns
about the AI-produced reports.
Axon, known for its body cameras, has developed a chatbot that uses the same technology asChatGPT. This AI tool, named Draft One, is being tested by officers like Matt Gilmore from MadridCity. He describes the AI chatbot as a“game changer” for police work. In the past, after finishing a search, the officer would spend another 30 to 45 minutes writing up a report. “This meaningless work takes me ages!” Matt said. But this time he used AI and the process (过程)
only took eight seconds. And he described the report as better and more exact than one he could have written himself.
However, Axon's CEO, Rick Smith, also noted legal and ethical(道德的) concerns about
the tool. Government lawyers advise the police to be careful with the tool. They want to make
sure that police officers are responsible for writing their reports. Prosecutors(检察官) never
want to get an officer on the stand who says, “Well, the AI wrote that. I didn't.”
Chatbots that use AI technology are not mistake-free. Sometimes these chatbots can
produce false information, which worries Andrew Ferguson, a law professor at Barcelona
University. “I am worried that the technology would cause police officers to be less careful
with their writing,” he said. A police report is important in determining whether a suspect is
guilty(有罪的) or not.However, human-created police reports also have problems, and it is not yet known which kind of report writer, human or AI, is more dependable.
12. What is the main purpose of the article
A. To encourage the use of AI in police departments.
B. To discuss the advantages and worries of AI tools in police reports.
C. To stress the legal and ethical problems of using AI in police reports.
D. To explain how AI chatbots work for the police.
13. According to the passage, what is one advantage of using AI to write police reports
A. It frees officers from boring daily tasks.
B. It makes sure that reports are aiways right.
C. It helps officers to complete a search.
D. It avoids the risk of false information.
14. What can we infer about AI technology from Paragraph 4
A. It can produce reports more dependable than human-written ones.
B. It may make the police more careful with their writing.
C. It may make officers less serious about their reporting.
D. It may make police officers lose their jobs.
15. What is the best title for this passage
A. The Rise of AI Chatbots B. The Future of AI Chatbots
C. Technology Produced by AI Chatbots D. AI Chatbots Used in Police Reports
