Circus Returns
It’s March and that means we are again welcoming the Circus (马戏团) Under the Stars to our town.
Ringmaster (马戏表演领班) Ferdinand Diego promises that it will be full of surprises for the whole family. Diego says, “This year we are presenting forty different performers. We are especially pleased to add the Flying Montinis to our circus family. They are known throughout Europe for their dangerous trapeze (高空秋千) acts. In fact, Ernestine Montini was the first female to perform a triple flip (空翻三周), and you can see her performance nightly in our show.”
Charley Smith’s performances have been the favorite act of local children in past shows. Charley will be with the circus again this year. Smith promises to be “a little smarter, but just as silly” this time around. He will surely leave the crowd laughing.
Right after their shows here, the performers will begin a three-month tour in South America. So make sure you buy your tickets early. The circus will be in town for only one week, from Wednesday, June 5, through Sunday, June 9. There will be evening performances Thursday through Sunday at 7 P.M.
Matinees (午后场) will be held at 2 P.M. on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Performances will again be at the Civic Center, 454 Oak Street in Bakersville.
Call 555-6789 for ticket information.
21. Which part of the show will be new this year?
A. Its name. B. Its location. C. Charley Smith. D. The trapeze artists.
22. When will the circus be performing on Wednesday, June 5?

B
I started playing football when I was 7 or 8 years old after my brothers had agreed to let their little sister join in their games. I’m from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasn’t for women and my family shouldn’t let me play. They also said I wouldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t good enough.
As a child, I didn’t really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent (天赋) on the streets.
My greatest inspiration was my mother. We came from a poor family; my mom separated from my dad when I was less than a year old and she raised four children on her own. She worked all day, had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going.
Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur (业余的) teams among the boys to the first win as part of the Brazilian national team, and now. I remember when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman’s truck and people were waving. That achievement could happen because I hadn’t given up that first moment I heard a “no”.
Sport changed my life completely. It gave me the opportunity (机会) to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for empowering girls, because it gives you the opportunity to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people.
For me, it’s a great honor to be a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador (亲善大使). Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesn’t have to go through what I did.
24. What was the author’s family’s attitude toward her playing football at first?
A. They were uncertain about it. B. They were supportive of it.
C. They were strongly against it. D. They thought it must be painful.
25. What happened to the author when she returned home in 2006?
A. She learnt to say “no” for the first time.
B. She had little time to spend with her family.
C. She got a chance to play for the national team.
D. She was warmly welcomed by the whole town.
26. Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Strong-willed. D. Self-centered.
27. What does the author call on girls and women to do?
A. Play football just like her.
B. Try their best to see the outside world.
C. Trust themselves and do what they want.
D. Value the happy hours with their families.
C
I left a job in higher education in 1987 to begin work full time as a futurist. Actually, there are three ways to this career.
First is the informal or self-taught path (途径) taken by many people. People in different fields often discover their personal interest in the future. And then they begin to read things about futures studies, forecasting, science and technology, and so on. They begin to attend meetings as they can find them. Gradually they begin to call themselves futurists. Of the 40,000 members of the World Future Society (WFS), most have taken that path. But only about 1,200 are “professional (职业的) members” who try to make a living as futurists. If this path sounds right for you, it can be successfully followed. The best place to start is with a membership in the WFS.
A second path is through the more traditional colleges. There are college programs in futures studies. Among those we suggest is the master’s degree program in futures studies at the University of Houston, Clear Lake, Texas. Another program in futures studies is the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies, at the University of Hawaii.
Finally, a third path is the one that I took, or rather was given. That is the mentor (导师) path. An early futurist and founding member of the WFS took me under his wing while I was an undergraduate student. He began to feed me things to read and to attend, nurturing (培养) my own interest in the future through what became more than a ten-year-long relationship. His name was Ed Lindaman, at one time director of program planning for building Apollo, later a college president when I knew him. If you are lucky enough to find that kind of relationship, it can have some of the features of the first two paths, though without the formal degree.
28. What do we know about the author?
A. He founded the WFS. B. He got his first job as a futurist.
C. He makes a living as a futurist now.
D. Being a futurist was his childhood dream.
29. What does the underlined part “that path” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Self-study. B. Full-time education.
C. Being a WFS member. D. Being guided by professionals.
30. What kind of feeling did the author have when he mentioned Ed Lindaman?
A. Regret. B. Worry. C. Excitement. D. Thankfulness.
31. What advice does the author mainly give to readers?
A. How to join the WFS. B. How to become a futurist.
C. How to choose your career. D. How to take a degree in the future.
D
Three French students, using the name “Obvious”, have produced the first artwork created mainly by a computer program to be sold at auction (拍卖). Using artificial intelligence (AI), Obvious created 11 portraits (肖像画) of an imaginary family they called Belamy.
Obvious used 15,000 real portraits to train an AI program which has two parts. One part tries to create pictures that look real. The other part judges the work. If the portrait doesn’t look real enough, the first part goes back and changes its decisions until it comes up with a better picture. These decisions are controlled by an algorithm (计算程序). The students made many choices, helping guide the AI’s decisions. But even so, the painting is “signed” by the algorithm, instead of the students.
On October 25, Obvious’s picture, Edmond de Belamy, was sold at auction at Christie’s in New York. The final price for Edmond de Belamy was $432,500 — about ten times more than Christie’s expected.
This is not the first AI artwork, just the first one sold at auction. In fact, many people are not impressed with the portrait. “The work isn’t interesting, or original,” says 19-year-old Robbie Barrat. He should know. He wrote much of the program that created the pictures.
But he doesn’t like the idea of Obvious selling the picture. He thinks it’s too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He points out that he created many pictures like these over a year ago.
Obvious doesn’t hide the fact that it used Mr. Barrat’s work, or even that its portrait is not the best AI artwork ever. Pierre Fautrel of Obvious said, “... the goal of our project was to do something that was simple enough for ... my mother or brother to understand.”
Obvious got the attention of Christie’s by selling another work, Le Comte de Belamy, for over $11,000 in February. One reason Christie’s chose to auction Obvious’s work is because AI art is unusual now. In the future it will be much more common.
32. What does Paragraph 2 mainly explain?
A. How Obvious made its decisions.
B. How Obvious named its AI artwork.
C. How Obvious’s AI program did paintings.
D. How Obvious got the idea to become AI artists.
33. What can we learn about Edmond de Belamy?
A. It’s Obvious’s first AI artwork. B. It’s Obvious’s best AI artwork ever.
C. It’s the first AI artwork highly praised. D. It’s the first AI artwork sold at auction.
34. What does Robbie Barrat think of the AI artwork sold at auction?
A. It is of little artistic value. B. It is worth more than the price paid.
C. It is a good example of real AI artwork.
D. It is hard for common people to understand.
35. How does Christie’s feel about AI art now?
A. Worrying. B. Enjoyable. C. Meaningless. D. Money-making.

Tips for choosing a career
Choosing a career isn’t always easy. Here are our tips to help you make up your mind.
Don’t let other people tell you what to do! There are always people who want you to become a lawyer, or be a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it’s your life and it’s your decision. 36 !
Consider what you think you’re good at. It’s true that things like salary (工资) are important, but don’t let financial considerations lead you down the wrong path. 37 — if you’re not very outgoing, don’t go for a sales job, even if the pay is good.
Your first decision isn’t forever. 38 — they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. But it isn’t always like that, so remember — you’re allowed to change your mind! Certainly, it’s no good worrying for years: maybe you’ve got three or four possible things you’d like to do, so come to a decision and try one, and if you don’t like it, try another one.
39 . Some people choose their career simply because they think they’ll earn huge amounts of money. OK, if that’s what you want. But generally, people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something valuable for others. 40 . It could be a job that helps other people, like being a child-minder. Just don’t forget that job satisfaction isn’t only about money.
A. Do something of value
B. Consider your past experiences
C. It doesn’t have to be charity work
D. Follow your heart and your personality
E. Some lucky people get it right first time
F. Be sure that you’re the one who makes that decision
G. The more you learn, the more you’ll realize just how much you don’t know

The other day I saw a beautiful dress at a shop and fall in love with it. I tried it on and found it fit perfectly so I bought it! My favorite thing about the dress is that it has such many pockets that I don’t need take a bag any more. I also get lots of attentions from my friends whenever I wear it, that makes me proud. What’s funny is that the style is very similarly to what people wore back in the 1990s. In the fact, I’ve found some old photographs of my mother wear a similar dress.

Albert Einstein is one of the 20th century’s greatest scientists. He was born on March 14, 1879 in Germany, and died on April 18, 1955. He is best known for his Theory of Relativity. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.
But when he was young, he was shy and didn’t like to go to school, because he found it hard to get along with others. Throughout his life he preferred spending most of his time alone. He was fond of music, and said that he could find peace in music.
Albert Einstein was a peace-loving person, giving little thought to money, and he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.
No wonder Albert Einstein is an outstanding and respectable scientist!

In fact, Ernestine Montini was the first female to perform a triple flip (空翻三周), and you can see her performance nightly in our show.”
Charley Smith’s performances have been the favorite act of local children in past shows. Charley will be with the circus again this year. Smith promises to be “a little smarter, but just as silly” this time around. He will surely leave the crowd laughing.
Right after their shows here, the performers will begin a three-month tour in South America. So make sure you buy your tickets early. The circus will be in town for only one week, from Wednesday, June 5, through Sunday, June 9. There will be evening performances Thursday through Sunday at 7 P.M.
Matinees (午后场) will be held at 2 P.M. on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Performances will again be at the Civic Center, 454 Oak Street in Bakersville.

I started playing football when I was 7 or 8 years old after my brothers had agreed to let their little sister join in their games. I’m from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasn’t for women and my family shouldn’t let me play. They also said I wouldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t good enough.
As a child, I didn’t really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent (天赋) on the streets.
My greatest inspiration was my mother. We came from a poor family; my mom separated from my dad when I was less than a year old and she raised four children on her own. She worked all day, had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going.
Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur (业余的) teams among the boys to the first win as part of the Brazilian national team, and now. I remember when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman’s truck and people were waving. That achievement could happen because I hadn’t given up that first moment I heard a “no”.
Sport changed my life completely. It gave me the opportunity (机会) to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for empowering girls, because it gives you the opportunity to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people.
For me, it’s a great honor to be a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador (亲善大使). Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesn’t have to go through what I did.
24. What was the author’s family’s attitude toward her playing football at first?
A. They were uncertain about it. B. They were supportive of it.
C. They were strongly against it. D. They thought it must be painful.
25. What happened to the author when she returned home in 2006?

I left a job in higher education in 1987 to begin work full time as a futurist. Actually, there are three ways to this career.
First is the informal or self-taught path (途径) taken by many people. People in different fields often discover their personal interest in the future. And then they begin to read things about futures studies, forecasting, science and technology, and so on. They begin to attend meetings as they can find them. Gradually they begin to call themselves futurists. Of the 40,000 members of the World Future Society (WFS), most have taken that path. But only about 1,200 are “professional (职业的) members” who try to make a living as futurists. If this path sounds right for you, it can be successfully followed. The best place to start is with a membership in the WFS.
A second path is through the more traditional colleges. There are college programs in futures studies. Among those we suggest is the master’s degree program in futures studies at the University of Houston, Clear Lake, Texas. Another program in futures studies is the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies, at the University of Hawaii.
Finally, a third path is the one that I took, or rather was given. That is the mentor (导师) path. An early futurist and founding member of the WFS took me under his wing while I was an undergraduate student. He began to feed me things to read and to attend, nurturing (培养) my own interest in the future through what became more than a ten-year-long relationship. His name was Ed Lindaman, at one time director of program planning for building Apollo, later a college president when I knew him. If you are lucky enough to find that kind of relationship, it can have some of the features of the first two paths, though without the formal degree.
28. What do we know about the author?
A. He founded the WFS. B. He got his first job as a futurist.
C. He makes a living as a futurist now.
D. Being a futurist was his childhood dream.
29. What does the underlined part “that path” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Self-study. B. Full-time education.
C. Being a WFS member. D. Being guided by professionals.
30. What kind of feeling did the author have when he mentioned Ed Lindaman?
A. Regret. B. Worry. C. Excitement. D. Thankfulness.
31. What advice does the author mainly give to readers?
A. How to join the WFS. B. How to become a futurist.
C. How to choose your career. D. How to take a degree in the future.
D
Three French students, using the name “Obvious”, have produced the first artwork created mainly by a computer program to be sold at auction (拍卖). Using artificial intelligence (AI), Obvious created 11 portraits (肖像画) of an imaginary family they called Belamy.
Obvious used 15,000 real portraits to train an AI program which has two parts. One part tries to create pictures that look real. The other part judges the work. If the portrait doesn’t look real enough, the first part goes back and changes its decisions until it comes up with a better picture. These decisions are controlled by an algorithm (计算程序). The students made many choices, helping guide the AI’s decisions. But even so, the painting is “signed” by the algorithm, instead of the students.
On October 25, Obvious’s picture, Edmond de Belamy, was sold at auction at Christie’s in New York. The final price for Edmond de Belamy was $432,500 — about ten times more than Christie’s expected.
This is not the first AI artwork, just the first one sold at auction. In fact, many people are not impressed with the portrait. “The work isn’t interesting, or original,” says 19-year-old Robbie Barrat. He should know. He wrote much of the program that created the pictures.
But he doesn’t like the idea of Obvious selling the picture. He thinks it’s too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He points out that he created many pictures like these over a year ago.
Obvious doesn’t hide the fact that it used Mr. Barrat’s work, or even that its portrait is not the best AI artwork ever. Pierre Fautrel of Obvious said, “... the goal of our project was to do something that was simple enough for ... my mother or brother to understand.”
Obvious got the attention of Christie’s by selling another work, Le Comte de Belamy, for over $11,000 in February. One reason Christie’s chose to auction Obvious’s work is because AI art is unusual now. In the future it will be much more common.
32. What does Paragraph 2 mainly explain?
A. How Obvious made its decisions.
B. How Obvious named its AI artwork.
C. How Obvious’s AI program did paintings.
D. How Obvious got the idea to become AI artists.
33. What can we learn about Edmond de Belamy?
A. It’s Obvious’s first AI artwork. B. It’s Obvious’s best AI artwork ever.
C. It’s the first AI artwork highly praised. D. It’s the first AI artwork sold at auction.
34. What does Robbie Barrat think of the AI artwork sold at auction?
A. It is of little artistic value. B. It is worth more than the price paid.
C. It is a good example of real AI artwork.
D. It is hard for common people to understand.
35. How does Christie’s feel about AI art now?
A. Worrying. B. Enjoyable. C. Meaningless. D. Money-making.

Tips for choosing a career
Choosing a career isn’t always easy. Here are our tips to help you make up your mind.
Don’t let other people tell you what to do! There are always people who want you to become a lawyer, or be a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it’s your life and it’s your decision. 36 !
Consider what you think you’re good at. It’s true that things like salary (工资) are important, but don’t let financial considerations lead you down the wrong path. 37 — if you’re not very outgoing, don’t go for a sales job, even if the pay is good.
Your first decision isn’t forever. 38 — they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. But it isn’t always like that, so remember — you’re allowed to change your mind! Certainly, it’s no good worrying for years: maybe you’ve got three or four possible things you’d like to do, so come to a decision and try one, and if you don’t like it, try another one.
39 . Some people choose their career simply because they think they’ll earn huge amounts of money. OK, if that’s what you want. But generally, people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something valuable for others. 40 . It could be a job that helps other people, like being a child-minder. Just don’t forget that job satisfaction isn’t only about money.
A. Do something of value
B. Consider your past experiences
C. It doesn’t have to be charity work
D. Follow your heart and your personality
E. Some lucky people get it right first time
F. Be sure that you’re the one who makes that decision
G. The more you learn, the more you’ll realize just how much you don’t know

The other day I saw a beautiful dress at a shop and fall in love with it. I tried it on and found it fit perfectly so I bought it! My favorite thing about the dress is that it has such many pockets that I don’t need take a bag any more. I also get lots of attentions from my friends whenever I wear it, that makes me proud. What’s funny is that the style is very similarly to what people wore back in the 1990s. In the fact, I’ve found some old photographs of my mother wear a similar dress. It’s really amazed that we’ve started to wear things that was fashionable about 20 years ago.

Albert Einstein is one of the 20th century’s greatest scientists. He was born on March 14, 1879 in Germany, and died on April 18, 1955. He is best known for his Theory of Relativity. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.
But when he was young, he was shy and didn’t like to go to school, because he found it hard to get along with others. Throughout his life he preferred spending most of his time alone. He was fond of music, and said that he could find peace in music.
Albert Einstein was a peace-loving person, giving little thought to money, and he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.
No wonder Albert Einstein is an outstanding and respectable scientist!
