Four Historic American Theatres
Today, theatres remain a key part of a city's lifeblood. The following are four historic theatres in America.
Pantages Theatre, Minneapolis, MN
The Pantages Theatre, which now seats 1,014, opened in 1916 as part of Alexander Pantages's well-known group of theatres. It was designed by the local firm Kees and Colburn. In 1922, the theatres was rebuilt by Scottish theatres architect Benjamin Marcus Priteca. After going through several owners, in 1984, it was closed and remained unopened until 1996. Some theatre supporters had it repaired and improved, resulting in its reopening in 2002.
Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, LA
New Orleans's Saenger Theatre was built two years before the Great Depression, in 1927, and cost a then unheard-of $ 2.5 million. It was designed by Emile Weil, featuring a 15th-century Florentine courtyard and gardens, and Greek and Roman statues. Although the theatre was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after a $ 53 million renovation（修葺）, it reopened in 2013.
Thalian Hall, Wilmington, NC
Thalian Hall has been in almost continuous use since its opening in 1858. It is the only surviving theatre designed by John Montague Trimble, one of America's foremost 19th-century theatre architects, and originally housed the town government, a library, as well as an “Opera House”, seating 1, 000 people. Some repairs in 1909 led to the removal of the side balconies and the installation of electric stage lights.
Providence Performing Arts Center, Providence, RI
It was originally opened as a movie palace in 1928, and the silent movies it showed were accompanied by a $ 90, 000 Robert Morton organ. After several decades, the theatre suffered from the increased popularity of television, as well as damage by two hurricanes. Over the past decade and a half, it has undergone extensive renovations and modernization.
21. What can we know about the Pantages Theatre?
A. It has a seating capacity of 1, 916. B. It will be turned into a movie house.
C. It was designed by Alexander Pantages. D. It was once shut down for over a decade.
22. Of the following theatres, which is the oldest?
A. Pantages Theatre. B. Saenger Theatre. C. Thalian Hall. D. Providence Performing Arts Center
23. What do the listed theatres have in common?
A. They went through major renovations.
B. They were hit by terrible natural disasters.
C. They were built by American theatre architects.
D. They belong o Alexander Pantages's group of theatres.
B
The scene of nearly 30 bikers queuing up at a young girl's lemonade stand is remarkable on its own. But the heartwarming story behind this moment is even more touching. It involves the girl and her mother helping several of the motorcyclists out after an accident last year.
It was September 2 when Daryn Sturch, a nurse, and her daughter Bryanne, came across an accident involving several motorcyclists from the Milwaukee Iron. Sturch quickly jumped into action. She did the best she could to comfort them and keep them awake and calm. All five bikers involved in the crash had suffered severe injuries.
After the accident, Sturch began receiving thank-you messages from some bikers associated with the Milwaukee Iron.They sent Sturch updates on the recovery of those injured, and have kept in touch with her ever since.
Fast forward to nearly a year later, when Bryanne, 8, decided to set up a lemonade stand to raise money to buy equipment for her horse. Her mom announced the sale on Facebook. A biker saw the post and commented, asking whether there would be a good place to park motorcycles if some club members were to stop by. But Sturch never expected to see nearly 30bikers come over to the stand. “My daughter was over-the-moon excited,” she says. “She thinks they're the nicest people in the world.” The stand also provided a place for reunion between Sturch and the motorcyclists she'd aided, some of whom she hadn't seen since the accident. The moment she reconnected with a rider called Lumpy brought tears to her eyes. “I remember trying to help him and him telling me ‘I'm fine. Please check on and take care of the others,’” Sturch recalled.
24. What happened on September 2 last year?
A. Bryanne decided to start her own lemonade stand.
B. Daryn Sturch took part in Milwaukee Iron's activity.
C. Some motorcyclists were seriously injured in an accident.
D. Daryn Sturch was called in to treat some injured motorcyclists.
25. How did the biker know the founding of Bryanne's lemonade stand?
A. From a website. B. From a group of bikers.
C. Through his friend's comment. D. Through contact with Daryn Sturch.
26. How did Daryn Sturch feel when nearly 30 bikers appeared at the stand?
A. Moved. B. Appreciative. C. Puzzled. D. Surprised.
27. Why was Daryn Sturch impressed by Lumpy?
A. He always came to her daughter's aid. B. He volunteered to help treat the injured.
C. He cared about others despite his own injury. D. He did his best to comfort the injured motorcyclists.
C
Even though water covers about 71 percent of the Earth's surface, not all of it is safe to drink. In fact, less than three percent is fresh water, according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the water is contained in the oceans and must be desalinated （脱盐）for use. Now researchers from MIT have developed a suitcase-sized desalination device that could be used to produce clean drinking water.
The new portable device produces water that actually goes beyond the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button, according to a press release from MIT. There are no filters required. The device powered by a small portable solar panel uses electricity to remove salt and other particles from the saltwater. This eliminates the need for repeatedly checking or repairing it.
Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies.
“This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,” says Jongyoon Han, the senior author of the study.
After the researchers ran tests in the lab, the device was ready for field tests. At Boston's Carson Beach, the device filled a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water in just half an hour. Now the researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. This small but powerful desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world.
28. What does the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Proves. B. Creates. C. Satisfies. D. Removes.
29. What can we infer about the device from Paragraph 3?
A. It allows high production of clean water. B. It makes a breakthrough in application
C. It may provide power for faraway places D. It can replace most desalination devices.
30. What do Jongyoon Han's words suggest?
A. The public thinks highly of the device
B. The testing system for the device has been out of date.
C. Developing the device is challenging but worthwhile.
D. Further studies are needed before marketing the device.
31. Which aspect of the device are the researchers trying to improve?
A. Its affordability. B. The energy it needs.
C. Its performance in dry areas. D. The purity of the water it produces.
D
Ai-Da sits behind a desk, a paintbrush in her hand. She looks up at the person posing for her, and then back down as she applies another drop of paint onto the canvas（画布）. A lifelike portrait is taking shape. If you didn't know a robot produced it, this portrait could pass as the work of a human artist.
Ai-Da produces portraits of sitting subjects using a robotic hand attached to her lifelike figure. She's also able to talk, giving detailed answers to questions about her artistic process and attitudes towards technology. She even gave a TEDx talk titled “The Intersection of Art and AI” in Oxford several years ago. Ai-Da's creators have also been experimenting with having her write and perform her own poetry.
But how are we to interpret Ai-Da's output? Should we consider her paintings and poetry original and creative? Are these works actually art?
What discussions about AI and creativity often overlook is the fact that creativity isn't an absolute quality that can be defined, measured and reproduced objectively. When we describe an object-for instance, a child's drawing—as being creative, we project our own assumptions about culture onto it. Indeed, art never exists in isolation. It always needs someone to give it “art” status. And the criteria for whether you think something is art are formed by both your expectations and broader cultural conceptions.
If we extend this line of thinking to AI, it follows that no Al application or robot can objectively be “creative”. It is always we—humans—that decide whether works created by AI are art.
Some may see robot-produced paintings as something coming from creative computers, while others may be skeptical, given the fact that robots act on clear human instructions. In any case, attribution （归属）of creativity never depends on technical arrangement alone—no computer is objectively creative. Rather, the attribution of computational creativity is largely inspired by contexts of reception. Through particular social information, some people are inspired to think of AI output as art, systems as artists, and computers as creators. Therefore, as with any piece of art, your appreciation of AI output ultimately depends on your own interpretation.
32. What can we learn about Ai-Da?
A. She has a complex many-sided personality B. She beat others in the debate on art and AI.
C. She is capable of drawing high-quality portraits. D. She can write poems without being programmed.
33. What fact do discussions about AI and creativity often ignore?
A. That art is content-based. B. That art can take many forms.
C. That creativity is closely related to cultures. D. That creativity is often measured subjectively.
34. What idea does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Every coin has two sides. B. Great minds think alike.
C. Four eyes see more than two. D. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Is AI-created Art Really Art? B. Will People Accept AI Artists?
C. Can We Use AI to Create Portraits? D. Do We Need to Improve AI's Creativity?

Anybody passing by the school's football ground wouldn't miss noticing Jake Harvey and his friends talking about soccer. The boys always thought they would merely select those who had the physique（体格）and skills to represent their team.
One day, the team's “head”, as they called him, Jake, was busy playing soccer with his friends when the newcomer, Sam, in their class walked over. The little boy called out saying he was ready to play, but Jake's team paused and turned in disbelief, staring at the boy's artificial leg. “How on earth will you play for us with that artificial leg?” Jake said. Sam got depressed when Jake's words echoed in his ears. He almost cried but he didn't want his tears to weaken him in front of the boys.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, the school's physical trainer, saw the whole thing from his office window. After the practice session, he walked over to Jake and took him aside for a word in private. “I saw what happened, and if I'm not wrong, you sent away that newcomer, right?” Mr. Jones asked Jake. “Do you have any idea who he is?” Jake was shocked after Mr. Jones revealed Sam's background.
As it turned out, Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous school. He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold medals for his team. “Maybe, Mr. Jones... But I don't see any hope of having him on our team. Just look at his leg,” Jake said to the teacher.
Seeing that Jake felt dissatisfied with Sam's condition, Mr. Jones unfolded another story about how Sam lost his leg.
One day, Sam's school bus met with a car accident on the way back from a trip. The school bus was set on fire;though Sam got out and reached safety, he realized one of his classmates was still on the school bus. He risked his own life to save her without hesitation. With all his strength, he carried her out of the bus. As a result, the girl was saved but Sam's leg was severely injured and had to be amputated（截肢）.
Paragraph 1:
Jake was deeply moved by Sam's bravery and became teary-eyed. _____________________________________

Let's clean statues on campus together
When walking in our beautiful campus, we can see many statues of famous figures at home and abroad. These statues have been set up for so long that they are quite dusty. Let's take an active part in a clean-up which is of great significance. Firstly, this activity helps beautify our campus and enrich its history and culture. Moreover, it encourages us all to respect those well-known figures and learn their spirits. When cleaning these delicate statues, we need to be cautious in case any damage is made. For example, avoid using sharp and hard materials made of metal. Additionally, let's clean the statues as carefully as possible to ensure our safety.

Paragraph 1:
Jake was deeply moved by Sam's bravery and became teary-eyed. He told Mr. Jones he was terribly sorry about his rudeness to Sam. “It's not all about winning or losing, but about having the heart to love everyone and appreciate their talents,” Mr. Jones told Jake and left. Reflecting on these words, Jake felt more regretful. He then gathered the members of his team, and after a short discussion, they reached an agreement that they believed would be a surprise to Sam.
Paragraph 2:
The next day, Jake went to the classroom, saying he had an important announcement to make. All the classmates turned to him, including Sam. Hearing he had been selected as the new goalkeeper of the team, Sam could hardly believe his ears. Then Jake walked up to Sam, making a public apology to him. Realizing what was happening, Sam smiled and said with gratitude, “Thank you! Jake.” Mr. Jones watched them from outside the classroom, feeling relieved at the scene.

M: Hello, everybody. In today's presentation, I want to introduce my hometown, Luoyang. Luoyang, a city in Henan Province, is located in the place where the Luo River and the Yellow River join in the west of Henan Province. The city traces its history back to over 5, 000 years ago. Now the historic city is being displayed on screen and leading the way in a new concept in TV drama production. The TV series Luoyang has become one of the most attention-grabbing TV dramas of 2021 in China. Its director Xie Ze wanted to produce an unusual history-themed work to show off traditional Chinese culture. The 39-episode TV drama tells the story of three people from different classes uniting together to protect the city. The story, characters, and setting of the series set it apart from other TV dramas, earning it high praise from the audience both at home and abroad. Besides the TV series, other TV works, such as the documentary Shendu Luoyang and the animated series Luoyang can also help us learn about this city. If anyone in our class wants to tour my hometown during the summer holidays, I'll be glad to be your guide. Thank you for your listening.

Four Historic American Theatres
Today, theatres remain a key part of a city's lifeblood. The following are four historic theatres in America.
Pantages Theatre, Minneapolis, MN
The Pantages Theatre, which now seats 1,014, opened in 1916 as part of Alexander Pantages's well-known group of theatres. It was designed by the local firm Kees and Colburn. In 1922, the theatres was rebuilt by Scottish theatres architect Benjamin Marcus Priteca. After going through several owners, in 1984, it was closed and remained unopened until 1996. Some theatre supporters had it repaired and improved, resulting in its reopening in 2002.
Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, LA
New Orleans's Saenger Theatre was built two years before the Great Depression, in 1927, and cost a then unheard-of $ 2.5 million. It was designed by Emile Weil, featuring a 15th-century Florentine courtyard and gardens, and Greek and Roman statues. Although the theatre was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after a $ 53 million renovation（修葺）, it reopened in 2013.
Thalian Hall, Wilmington, NC
Thalian Hall has been in almost continuous use since its opening in 1858. It is the only surviving theatre designed by John Montague Trimble, one of America's foremost 19th-century theatre architects, and originally housed the town government, a library, as well as an “Opera House”, seating 1, 000 people. Some repairs in 1909 led to the removal of the side balconies and the installation of electric stage lights.
Providence Performing Arts Center, Providence, RI
It was originally opened as a movie palace in 1928, and the silent movies it showed were accompanied by a $ 90, 000 Robert Morton organ. After several decades, the theatre suffered from the increased popularity of television, as well as damage by two hurricanes. Over the past decade and a half, it has undergone extensive renovations and modernization.
21. What can we know about the Pantages Theatre?
A. It has a seating capacity of 1, 916. B. It will be turned into a movie house.
C. It was designed by Alexander Pantages. D. It was once shut down for over a decade.
22. Of the following theatres, which is the oldest?
A. Pantages Theatre. B. Saenger Theatre. C. Thalian Hall. D. Providence Performing Arts Center
23. What do the listed theatres have in common?
A. They went through major renovations.
B. They were hit by terrible natural disasters.
C. They were built by American theatre architects.
D. They belong o Alexander Pantages's group of theatres.
B
The scene of nearly 30 bikers queuing up at a young girl's lemonade stand is remarkable on its own. But the heartwarming story behind this moment is even more touching. It involves the girl and her mother helping several of the motorcyclists out after an accident last year.
It was September 2 when Daryn Sturch, a nurse, and her daughter Bryanne, came across an accident involving several motorcyclists from the Milwaukee Iron. Sturch quickly jumped into action. She did the best she could to comfort them and keep them awake and calm. All five bikers involved in the crash had suffered severe injuries.
After the accident, Sturch began receiving thank-you messages from some bikers associated with the Milwaukee Iron.They sent Sturch updates on the recovery of those injured, and have kept in touch with her ever since.
Fast forward to nearly a year later, when Bryanne, 8, decided to set up a lemonade stand to raise money to buy equipment for her horse. Her mom announced the sale on Facebook. A biker saw the post and commented, asking whether there would be a good place to park motorcycles if some club members were to stop by. But Sturch never expected to see nearly 30bikers come over to the stand. “My daughter was over-the-moon excited,” she says. “She thinks they're the nicest people in the world.” The stand also provided a place for reunion between Sturch and the motorcyclists she'd aided, some of whom she hadn't seen since the accident. The moment she reconnected with a rider called Lumpy brought tears to her eyes. “I remember trying to help him and him telling me ‘I'm fine. Please check on and take care of the others,’” Sturch recalled.
24. What happened on September 2 last year?
A. Bryanne decided to start her own lemonade stand.
B. Daryn Sturch took part in Milwaukee Iron's activity.
C. Some motorcyclists were seriously injured in an accident.
D. Daryn Sturch was called in to treat some injured motorcyclists.
25. How did the biker know the founding of Bryanne's lemonade stand?
A. From a website. B. From a group of bikers.
C. Through his friend's comment. D. Through contact with Daryn Sturch.
26. How did Daryn Sturch feel when nearly 30 bikers appeared at the stand?
A. Moved. B. Appreciative. C. Puzzled. D. Surprised.
27. Why was Daryn Sturch impressed by Lumpy?
A. He always came to her daughter's aid. B. He volunteered to help treat the injured.
C. He cared about others despite his own injury. D. He did his best to comfort the injured motorcyclists.
C
Even though water covers about 71 percent of the Earth's surface, not all of it is safe to drink. In fact, less than three percent is fresh water, according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the water is contained in the oceans and must be desalinated （脱盐）for use. Now researchers from MIT have developed a suitcase-sized desalination device that could be used to produce clean drinking water.
The new portable device produces water that actually goes beyond the World Health Organization standards, just by pushing a button, according to a press release from MIT. There are no filters required. The device powered by a small portable solar panel uses electricity to remove salt and other particles from the saltwater. This eliminates the need for repeatedly checking or repairing it.
Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water, which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies.
“This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,” says Jongyoon Han, the senior author of the study.
After the researchers ran tests in the lab, the device was ready for field tests. At Boston's Carson Beach, the device filled a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water in just half an hour. Now the researchers are still working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. This small but powerful desalination unit may be the key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world.
28. What does the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Proves. B. Creates. C. Satisfies. D. Removes.
29. What can we infer about the device from Paragraph 3?
A. It allows high production of clean water. B. It makes a breakthrough in application
C. It may provide power for faraway places D. It can replace most desalination devices.
30. What do Jongyoon Han's words suggest?
A. The public thinks highly of the device
B. The testing system for the device has been out of date.
C. Developing the device is challenging but worthwhile.
D. Further studies are needed before marketing the device.
31. Which aspect of the device are the researchers trying to improve?
A. Its affordability. B. The energy it needs.
C. Its performance in dry areas. D. The purity of the water it produces.
D
Ai-Da sits behind a desk, a paintbrush in her hand. She looks up at the person posing for her, and then back down as she applies another drop of paint onto the canvas（画布）. A lifelike portrait is taking shape. If you didn't know a robot produced it, this portrait could pass as the work of a human artist.
Ai-Da produces portraits of sitting subjects using a robotic hand attached to her lifelike figure. She's also able to talk, giving detailed answers to questions about her artistic process and attitudes towards technology. She even gave a TEDx talk titled “The Intersection of Art and AI” in Oxford several years ago. Ai-Da's creators have also been experimenting with having her write and perform her own poetry.
But how are we to interpret Ai-Da's output? Should we consider her paintings and poetry original and creative? Are these works actually art?
What discussions about AI and creativity often overlook is the fact that creativity isn't an absolute quality that can be defined, measured and reproduced objectively. When we describe an object-for instance, a child's drawing—as being creative, we project our own assumptions about culture onto it. Indeed, art never exists in isolation. It always needs someone to give it “art” status. And the criteria for whether you think something is art are formed by both your expectations and broader cultural conceptions.
If we extend this line of thinking to AI, it follows that no Al application or robot can objectively be “creative”. It is always we—humans—that decide whether works created by AI are art.
Some may see robot-produced paintings as something coming from creative computers, while others may be skeptical, given the fact that robots act on clear human instructions. In any case, attribution （归属）of creativity never depends on technical arrangement alone—no computer is objectively creative. Rather, the attribution of computational creativity is largely inspired by contexts of reception. Through particular social information, some people are inspired to think of AI output as art, systems as artists, and computers as creators. Therefore, as with any piece of art, your appreciation of AI output ultimately depends on your own interpretation.
32. What can we learn about Ai-Da?
A. She has a complex many-sided personality B. She beat others in the debate on art and AI.
C. She is capable of drawing high-quality portraits. D. She can write poems without being programmed.
33. What fact do discussions about AI and creativity often ignore?
A. That art is content-based. B. That art can take many forms.
C. That creativity is closely related to cultures. D. That creativity is often measured subjectively.
34. What idea does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Every coin has two sides. B. Great minds think alike.
C. Four eyes see more than two. D. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Is AI-created Art Really Art? B. Will People Accept AI Artists?
C. Can We Use AI to Create Portraits? D. Do We Need to Improve AI's Creativity?

Anybody passing by the school's football ground wouldn't miss noticing Jake Harvey and his friends talking about soccer. The boys always thought they would merely select those who had the physique（体格）and skills to represent their team.
One day, the team's “head”, as they called him, Jake, was busy playing soccer with his friends when the newcomer, Sam, in their class walked over. The little boy called out saying he was ready to play, but Jake's team paused and turned in disbelief, staring at the boy's artificial leg. “How on earth will you play for us with that artificial leg?” Jake said. Sam got depressed when Jake's words echoed in his ears. He almost cried but he didn't want his tears to weaken him in front of the boys.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, the school's physical trainer, saw the whole thing from his office window. After the practice session, he walked over to Jake and took him aside for a word in private. “I saw what happened, and if I'm not wrong, you sent away that newcomer, right?” Mr. Jones asked Jake. “Do you have any idea who he is?” Jake was shocked after Mr. Jones revealed Sam's background.
As it turned out, Sam was captain of the soccer team in his previous school. He was also an excellent goalkeeper who had won several gold medals for his team. “Maybe, Mr. Jones... But I don't see any hope of having him on our team. Just look at his leg,” Jake said to the teacher.
Seeing that Jake felt dissatisfied with Sam's condition, Mr. Jones unfolded another story about how Sam lost his leg.
One day, Sam's school bus met with a car accident on the way back from a trip. The school bus was set on fire;though Sam got out and reached safety, he realized one of his classmates was still on the school bus. He risked his own life to save her without hesitation. With all his strength, he carried her out of the bus. As a result, the girl was saved but Sam's leg was severely injured and had to be amputated（截肢）.
Paragraph 1:
Jake was deeply moved by Sam's bravery and became teary-eyed. _____________________________________

Let's clean statues on campus together
When walking in our beautiful campus, we can see many statues of famous figures at home and abroad. These statues have been set up for so long that they are quite dusty. Let's take an active part in a clean-up which is of great significance. Firstly, this activity helps beautify our campus and enrich its history and culture. Moreover, it encourages us all to respect those well-known figures and learn their spirits. When cleaning these delicate statues, we need to be cautious in case any damage is made. For example, avoid using sharp and hard materials made of metal. Additionally, let's clean the statues as carefully as possible to ensure our safety.

Paragraph 1:
Jake was deeply moved by Sam's bravery and became teary-eyed. He told Mr. Jones he was terribly sorry about his rudeness to Sam. “It's not all about winning or losing, but about having the heart to love everyone and appreciate their talents,” Mr. Jones told Jake and left. Reflecting on these words, Jake felt more regretful. He then gathered the members of his team, and after a short discussion, they reached an agreement that they believed would be a surprise to Sam.
Paragraph 2:
The next day, Jake went to the classroom, saying he had an important announcement to make. All the classmates turned to him, including Sam. Hearing he had been selected as the new goalkeeper of the team, Sam could hardly believe his ears. Then Jake walked up to Sam, making a public apology to him. Realizing what was happening, Sam smiled and said with gratitude, “Thank you! Jake.” Mr. Jones watched them from outside the classroom, feeling relieved at the scene.

W: Sounds good! But I still think we should put our safety first.

M: Betty, you look troubled. What's wrong?
W: Jim, I'm in a dilemma about my future. I was just informed that I've passed the national postgraduate entrance examination. But two days ago, I accepted the job offer from my dream company.
M: Well, have you asked your parents for advice?
W: Yes. They advised me to continue my study. They think degrees are much more important than work experience.
M: I think so. If I had a master's degree, I'd be probably promoted to bank manager.
W: Well, you know my father's company went bankrupt three months ago and my family is on a tight budget now. I want to help reduce my parents' burden.
M: An understanding girl. So you're worried about the tuition fees, right?
W: Yes. I can't afford the tuition of $12, 000 a term. It's a big sum of money for my family.
M: Don't worry. I can help you apply for an interest-free loan in my bank. It's available to student who have financial difficulty.
W: That's great! Thank you so much.

M: Hello, everybody. In today's presentation, I want to introduce my hometown, Luoyang. Luoyang, a city in Henan Province, is located in the place where the Luo River and the Yellow River join in the west of Henan Province. The city traces its history back to over 5, 000 years ago. Now the historic city is being displayed on screen and leading the way in a new concept in TV drama production. The TV series Luoyang has become one of the most attention-grabbing TV dramas of 2021 in China. Its director Xie Ze wanted to produce an unusual history-themed work to show off traditional Chinese culture. The 39-episode TV drama tells the story of three people from different classes uniting together to protect the city. The story, characters, and setting of the series set it apart from other TV dramas, earning it high praise from the audience both at home and abroad. Besides the TV series, other TV works, such as the documentary Shendu Luoyang and the animated series Luoyang can also help us learn about this city. If anyone in our class wants to tour my hometown during the summer holidays, I'll be glad to be your guide. Thank you for your listening.
