Joy and sadness: How the world is reacting to Brexit (英国脱欧) Day

The United Kingdom left the European Union at 23:00 GMT, January 31, ending its 47-year membership of the world's biggest trading bloc. Reactions from leaders in Britain and around the world,were a mix of joy, resolve, sadness, and resignation.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson

Our job as the government - my job - is to bring this country together and take us forward. And the most important thing to say tonight is that this is not an end but a beginning.This is the moment when the dawn breaks and the curtain goes up on a new act. It is a moment of real national renewal and change.

French President Emmanuel Macron

Between France and the United Kingdom there is a long history, founded on blood, freedom, courage, on battles that we have shared... This is a sad day, there's no hiding it. But it's also a day which should urge us to move on in a different way to build with more determination a European Union that is powerful, effective, which you find more convincing.We will rediscover the historical path that makes the EU a unique and, in my eyes, irreplaceable adventure.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel

It cuts deep for Germany and all the remaining 27 member states, but we want to remain a close partner and friend of Britain. We are going to hold intensive negotiations with the British-that will define this year, particularly in the areas of economy and trade. A lot will depend on Britain. The more Britain moves away from the conditions of the single market, the more our future relationship will have to change.

European Union leader European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen

We have always deeply regretted the UK's decision to leave but we have always fully respected it, too. The agreement we reached is fair for both sides and ensures that millions of EU and UK citizens will continue to have their rights protected in the place they call home.

1. How many member countries were there in the EU before Brexit?

A. 27.     B. 28.     C. 30.   D. 31.

2. How does Emmanuel Macron feel about the future of the EU?

A. Confident.  B. Pessimistic.  C. Worried.   D. Unsure.    

3. What can we learn from the passage?

B

"I think I should leave."

"Why? What happened to you?"

"Nothing. I just feel like my head might explode and my heart might burst if I won't leave right now!"

He held her hand and said, "Please tell me..."

And she burst out crying. It was their first meeting. They have been talking to each other online and over the phone for the past few months but, always felt a deep connection as if they knew each other for ages. They had the same choices, be it. movies, music, books, food, psychology, relationships...just everything. They were like mirror image of each other and yet were distinct. He respected her for being ambitious, responsible and for being a beautiful soul. She respected and adored his immense talent, innocence and pure heart.

What they felt for one another was far beyond love since day one and yet, they never disclosed their feelings. It was not the fear of losing this sweet relationship they had. But it was their self built fear of being imperfect for each other that stopped them from expressing what they felt so deeply. They never said anything directly. They would slide their feelings indirectly in between their casual conversations, hoping for the other to simply notice it, accept it and keep it safely in their heart.

They first met face to face at a book exhibition. After the exhibition they decided to take a walk on the beach as both loved it, while watching the sunset. They started talking as usual. She so wanted to speak her heart out but, ended up crying instead.

He wanted to hug her and calm her down but, just held her hand quietly till her sobbing settled. "Is everything okay?" he asked. She nodded while wiping her tears. He couldn't stop himself from trying to read her eyes but, all she did was keep her teary eyes down so that he wouldn't see them. The silence in those moments was louder than the waves crashing on the shore. The sun was setting down. It was the most amazing spot to watch sunset but, all he could see were her tears.

4. What can we know about the man and woman?

A. They had been in love with each other for months.

B. They often kept each other at a certain distance.

C. They were both shy and couldn't express their ideas.

D. They had much in common and respected each other.

5. The underlined part "be it" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by      .

6. By saying "The silence.. :was louder than the waves..." in the last paragraph, the author means     .

A. if speech is silver, then silence is gold

B. it was plain and simple that they loved each

C. they waved goodbye to each other without saying anything

D. the woman's crying couldn't be heard because of the loud waves

C

Undoubtedly, any form of art, literature, music, photography or writing created by human intelligence is qualified for copyright protection. But how about works created by artificial intelligence? Does an Al-generated work have any copyright claims? The answer to both seems to be "yes".

Recently, an Al-generated article was ruled to be entitled (赋予权利) to copyright. Tencent, one of China's tech giants, filed a lawsuit (提起诉讼) against Shanghai Yingxun Technology. Dreamwriter is anautomated news writing program developed by a Chinese tech giant Tencent. On August 20, 2018, a financial story written by Dreamwriter was published, reporting on a slight rise of Shanghai Index to 2691.93 points led by sectors like telecommunications and oil extraction. On the same day, the article appeared on the online platform operated by Yingxun Technology without Tencent's permission.

According to the judgment pronounced by Shenzhen Nanshan District People's Court, the form of expression of the AI-written story is the same as that of any written work. And the content has displayed a reasonable structure, a clear logic, as well as certain creativity based on selection and analysis of data and information, thus owning copyright. Yingxun Technology, therefore, was required to pay 1,500 yuan as a compensation for economic losses caused to the tech giant.

Nowadays, creating works using artificial intelligence is not rare. The emergence of artificial intelligence, in the meantime, is challenging the copyright system, as experts and the public are putting more focus on whether such works should be protected by copyright.

In October, 2019, the United States Patent and Trademark Office reportedly published a notice, saying it's seeking the public's opinion about how A1 might call for changes to copyright law. In Europe, the issue has also been debatable, as the European Copyright Society reportedly held a discussion in 2018 on the copyright of AI works.

What we are consciously aware of now is that no artificial intelligence could make it without training, because they learn from examples to better imitate the human brain. With rapid advances in the Al field in sight, maybe more is yet to be explored and answered.

7. What can we learn about Dreamwriter?

A. It is an automated program for story writing.

B. It is a kind of AI software developed by Tencent.

C. It is an Al-generated article entitled to copyright.

D. It is an APP designed to report about the stock market.

8. Shenzhen Nanshan District People's Court finally ruled that      .

A. Dreamwriter should not be entitled to copyright

B. Yingxun Technology violated copyright on purpose

C. Yingxun Technology should pay a fine of 1,500 yuan

D. Al-written stories own copyright according to existing laws

9. From the last but one paragraph, we can learn that __________.

A. the copyright of AI works is of little importance

B. the United States attaches more emphasis on copyright

C. the copyright of AI works is drawing more public attention

D. European countries have reached an agreement on Al copyright

10. What does the author intend to tell us?

A. Those violating laws should be punished:

B. Al-generated works should own copyright.

C. It is still debatable whether Al works should have copyright.

D. Artificial intelligence deserves as much respect as human intelligence.

书面表达

Dear editor,

I’m Li Hua. I’ve learned from Changjiang Weekly that 100 students volunteers are wanted and I really want to seize this opportunity to become one of them.

For one thing, I have such a good command of English that I can communicate freely with the participants in English. Additionally, I’m a crazy fan of sports, which enables me to share something in common with the participants so that I will get along well with them. As an outgoing and helpful girl. I’m always writing to give a helping hand to those in need. Having participated in several similar activities before, I know well what to expect in the event and how to handle emergencies.

I’m sure that I’ll be qualified enough to live up to your expectations. I would appreciate it if you could give me a chance.

Looking forward to your reply.

                                                       Yours truly,

                                                         Li Hua
