If you lose 12 times in a row (连续地), will you just give up? Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and self-development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful. Carnegie was born in 1888 in a poor farming family in the central United States. The boy didn’t see a train until he was 12 years old. In his teens, he usually had to get up at 3 a.m. every day to milk the cows in his family. When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary looks. His mother encouraged him: “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”

Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate(辩论) team. But one after another, he lost 12 contests. The young man was very upset for a period of time. He said later that he thought of killing himself after so many failures. But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work paid off at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became widely known. The young man made his own words come true: “Believe that you will succeed, and you will.”

In order to share his success, Carnegie opened schools and wrote books. His best-sellers include “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living”. More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed in 38 languages. They are still helping people on the way to success.

26、Hello, readers and friends. My name is Xin Xiaowei. I’m very happy to be here and to introduce myself to you.

I’m a 3-D AI-powered news anchor(主播), the world’s first one. Born in China on May 21, 2020, I was developed by the search engine Sogou and Xinhua News Agency. You may already be able to guess who I look like. But let me tell you anyway! I was modeled after Zhao Wanwei, a real-life reporter for the news agency.

As a digital news anchor, I’m not alone at all. I have several 2-D colleagues you might have known about. In 2018, Xinhua introduced its first digital anchor called Qiu Hao. He was designed through the use of machine learning to simulate(模拟)the voices, facial movements and gestures(姿势)of real-life broadcasters. Then in early 2019, the agency introduced another digital news anchor called Xin Xiaomeng, considered as the first-ever female AI-based news anchor.

Like my dear workmates, I can accompany you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I can also be endlessly copied and presented at different scenes to bring you the news. But as a 3-D anchor, I’m a little different from them. For example, I can broadcast(播报)news more naturally and smoothly. More interestingly, I am also able to change my clothes and hairstyles based on various sceneries.

I completed my first task last month. It’s a great honor for me to report for Xinhua on the Two Sessions(两会). In the future, I will walk out of the studio to offer more audience a refreshing viewing experience!

【1】________ is considered as the first-ever female AI-based news anchor.

A．Xin Xiaowei

B．Zhao Wanwei

C．Qiu Hao

D．Xin Xiaomeng

【2】The underlined word “colleagues” means ________ in Chinese.

A．影像

B．同事

C．工具

D．播音室

【3】The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．what Xin Xiaowei looks like

B．how long Xin Xiaowei can work a day

C．why Xin Xiaowei doesn’t feel lonely

D．how Xin Xiaowei broadcasts the news

【4】We can infer from the passage the 3-D anchor ________.

A．speaks more naturally

B．can change clothes and hairstyles freely

C．will have some change in the future

D．reported for Xinhua on the Two Sessions in 2020

27、

I looked at myself in the dressing-room mirror unhappily. I was wearing a white leotard (紧身衣), and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair. I was one of 10 snowflakes (雪花) in our dance in school’s Winter Wonderland show.

“Grandma, I really don’t feel like being in the show,” I said. Grandma Lani looked up from what she was making. “Why, mo‘opuna?” Mo’opuna means “grandchild” in Hawaiian. Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawaii. “You love to dance.” I used to love to dance. But Ms. Tuttle gave the lead role of the Snow Queen to Christine. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that spread out like a cloud every time she spun. And she got to do a dance on stage (舞台) all by herself. The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm. I sighed. “I don’t like our dance. And no one would notice if I wasn’t there. There are so many of us.” “I would notice. So would your parents.” Grandma said.

As Christine walked toward us, Grandma stopped and smiled at her. “What a beautiful costume(服装)!” Christine walked away, her skirt waving behind her. I hung my head. Grandma took my hand. “What’s up?” “And you won’t be able to see me among so many snowflakes,” I whispered.

Grandma was going to speak when something outside the window caught her eye. She took my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside. It was snowing. Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something.

“Grandma, have you ever seen snow before?” “Never, mo’opuna. In Hawaii, it snows only on the very tops of mountains. ” ①

I had seen snow lots of times, but now I tried to see it differently, like it was new. I saw snowflakes flying through the air in different directions, shining brightly at us. So many snowflakes came together to create something magical.   ②

“Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky. Aloha can mean many things, including “love”, “hello”, and “good-bye”. “I don’t know when I’ll see something like that again.” “I do,” I said. I took Grandma Lani’s hand and pulled her back inside. ③

When the stage lights came up and the music started, I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes. I didn’t care if Grandma Lani could see me. ④

【1】What role did the writer want to play in the beginning?

A．The Snow Queen.

B．A snowflake.

C．A snowstorm.

D．A granddaughter.

【2】What did the writer mean by saying “I tried to see it differently” in Paragraph 5?

A．She felt the cold of the snowflakes differently.

B．She saw the last snowflake disappear soon.

C．She discovered the beauty of the snowflakes.

D．She found the snowflakes flying in all directions.

【3】Which of the following shows the correct time order of the events?

a. I complained to Grandma about my role.

b. The teacher chose Christine to play the role of the Snow Queen.

d. Grandma saw snow for the first time.

A．d-c-a-b

I will never forget the tenth summer of my childhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born.

One day my grandfather said, “Come. I have something for you.” I f【1】him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal,” he said. Great, I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was n【2】. Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me h【3】to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said. “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The w【4】rang in my head as I worked. Finally I finished the boat. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was p【5】. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.

We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We already had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I h【6】my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.

I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would n【7】see him again.

My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, “Grandpa, someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.”
