21、In December 2017, I attended a conference. Five successful women delivered speeches on the topic   “Bouncing   Back   after   Setbacks.”   As   I   sat   there   listening   to   their   many   personal   and professional mistakes and setbacks, I felt fortunate that I hadn’t made that many mistakes in my own life.

Those women had lost thousands in investments, started companies but failed, sold companies that later ended up being worth millions, and lost partners in the name of business. Despite knowing that they had, in fact, bounced back and were again doing very well, I was starting to feel sorry for them.

Then, as if someone whispered in my ear, I heard the words: “Don’t be so proud of yourself. You haven’t made any mistakes because you haven’t lived at all. Look how boring your life is.” Whose voice was this, and how dare it speak to me like that?

I think, for the first time, I heard my own heart speak. It shook me to my core, and it took all I had to keep from crying. I started thinking of the mistakes I had made. The voice was right. There weren’t many at all. I had followed a straight path for 38 years. I went to school, earned bachelor’s and   master’s   degrees   with   honors,   and   stayed   at   every   job   I’d   had   far   longer   than   it   was professionally beneficial for me to do so. In fact, at 38, I had only had three jobs. “The devil(魔鬼) you know is better than the one you don’t ” was my motto.

A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadn’t taken that I was suddenly regretting. I hadn’t studied abroad. I hadn’t risked love. In fact, I was perpetually single. I hadn’t started a business. I hadn’t traveled enough. I had said “no” far more than “yes”.

The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year. It was like it laughed at me. The thought of turning forty frightened me. It’s one thing to be unhappy and unsettled in your twenties, and perhaps even in one’s thirties. But was I going to start a new decade with the same boredom? I needed something to pick me up, some activity I could look forward to.

【1】How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers?

C．she had nothing to be proud of in her life

D．she had made a lot of mistakes in her life

【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．The familiar devil is more frightening.

B．Saying “no” is better than saying “yes”.

C．It’s better to stay within the comfort zone.

D．You’d better change your job more frequently.

【4】From the passage, we can learn that the author .

A．felt afraid of ageing

B．traveled abroad a lot

C．was married in her thirties

D．decided to do something new

22、The Complete Guide to Alberta's Icefields Parkway

Introduction

The 144-mile Icefields Parkway is one of Canada’s most scenic road trip routes (路线) and is a must for visitors to Alberta. It has dozens of viewpoints where you can see glaciers, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, forests, and valleys. The parkway starts in Jasper National Park, and travels south to near Lake Louise, in Banff National Park. Most travelers will approach the parkway from Jasper National Park, though. The Icefields Parkway is open throughout the year, but most travelers will prefer to drive it in the warmer months.

Stops to Make Along the Way

Athabasca Falls: Around 30 kilometres south of Jasper, the 75-foot waterfalls are not exceptionally high, but they run with a large amount of water, making them some of the most impressive waterfalls in the Canadian Rockies.

Sunwapta Falls: Fed by the Athabasca Glacier, the Sunwapta Falls are divided into the upper and lower sections. The upper waterfalls are easily accessible, but you need to hike a short distance to get to the lower waterfalls. The lower waterfalls are definitely worth the walk if you want to escape the crowds in the summer. Sunwapta Falls are about 34 miles from Jasper.

Where to Get Supplies

If you're spreading this road trip over more than one day, stock up on snacks in Jasper or Lake Louise and fill up your tank there, too. There are no major towns between Jasper and Lake Louise. In summer, there are a few places to eat and stay along the way, but prices tend to be high because of the lack of competition and the area's remoteness.

Want to go there to have fun? Please contact us for more information.

23、For millions of Chinese, the last night of 2021 was unforgettable. Legendary singer Deng Lijun (1953-95), also known as Teresa Teng, made a surprise comeback in an unexpected way fora New Year’s Eve concert presented by Jiangsu TV. Though it was not the first time that Teng had appeared on stage as a digital human, millions of online viewers were said to have been shocked by the jaw-dropping realism of her image.

Behind the surprise was the country’s rapid development of technology to produce digital humans. Digital humans can now engage in a whole range of human body language, backed by artificial intelligence that can interpret input and produce not just straightforward responses but appropriate nonverbal actions as well.

Hua, a digital woman co-developed by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, Zhipu AI and tech company Xiaoice is able to compose poetry and music and has some ability in reasoning and emotional interaction.

Tang Jie said the digital human is powered by the second generation of WuDao, a pre-trained model, and can be applied to several industries to help improve efficiency.

However, Pan Helin, executive director of the Digital Economy Academy of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, said that the biggest challenge to the popularization of digital humans is still the technology.

“It is difficult for most digital humans to effectively complete tasks in complex situations. For many companies that want to use digital humans, intelligent applications of high-end digital humans will be costly,” Pan said.

Holly was confused as she opened the birthday present from her best friend. Susan — it was a twelve-by-eight inch dark blue carpet. Her “thanks” was hardly heard as Holly tried hard not to show her disappointment.

The next morning. I carried a kitchen rubbish bag outside only to find Susan’s carpet lying there. I immediately reached in and pulled it out of the rubbish can. After giving it a brushing. I brought it into the house and put it away.

Before Holly’s birthday, Susan had been a regular visitor in our home. But suddenly I realized that it had been nearly three weeks since we’d heard the mention of Susan’s name. I missed her warm smile very much.

“Susan invited us to go to her house after school tomorrow. “Holly said as soon as she arrived from school. From her voice I sensed she was pleased with the invitation.

We were traveling along the winding country road that led to her house the following day. On the way Susan talked nervously about her foster mom and the seventeen cats they had taken in and cared for.

When we came to a stop, Susan’s foster mom — who introduced herself as Glenda — gave us a warm welcome. Susan guided us through the house. She proudly showed us her room, which was only decorated with some shabby used furniture.

I followed Susan’s foster mom, Glenda, into the kitchen. After clearing a small area, Glenda poured us each a cup of black coffee with her trembling hand. Then she began to relax as we drank our coffee and chatted about her cats.

Her eyes shone as she showed her fondness for Susan. But her expression turned blue when she referred to the girl’s past In an instant, I came to respect this warmhearted woman who had opened her home to a younger girl and tied hard to make a difference in her life.
