While the start f a new schl year is always exciting, this year was even mre s fr sme elementary schl students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the wrld's first kids t be "taught" by a digital teacher. Befre yu start imagining a human-like rbt walking arund the classrm, Will is just an avatar that appears n the student's desktp, r smartphne screen, when rdered t cme.
The autnmus animatin platfrm has been mdeled after the human brain and nervus system, allwing it t shw human-like behavir. The digital teacher is assigned t teach Vectr's "Be sustainable with energy"— a free prgram fr Auckland elementary schls.
Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able t instantly react t the students' respnses t the tpic. Thanks t a webcam and micrphne, the avatar nt nly respnds t questins the kids may have, but als picks up nn-verbal cues. Fr instance, if a student smiles at Will, he respnds by smiling back. This tw-way interactin nt nly helps attract the students' attentin, but als allws the prgram's develpers t mnitr their engagement, and make changes if needed.
Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars culd be a nvel way t catch the attentin f the next generatin. He says, "I have a lt f hpe in this technlgy as a means t deliver cst-effective, rich, educatinal experience in the future."
The prgram, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, " What was fascinating t me was the reactin f the children t Will. The way they lk at the wrld is s creative and different, and Will really captured their attentin."
Hwever, regardless f hw ppular it becmes, Will is unlikely t replace human educatrs any time sn.

If yu believe that scientists and artists are mst creative when they're yung, yu are missing an imprtant part f the stry. A new study published in De Ecnmist lked at Nbel Prize winners in the field f ecnmics. It fund there are tw different peaks f creativity. One cmes early in a persn's career, while anther cmes later.
The research supprts previus wrk by the authrs that fund similar patterns in the arts and ther sciences.
"We believe what we fund in this study isn't limited t ecnmics, but culd apply t creativity mre generally," said Bruce Weinberg, lead authr f the study and prfessr f ecnmics at The Ohi State University.
"Many peple believe that creativity is exclusively assciated with yuth, but it really depends n what kind f creativity yu're talking abut."
In the study, thse wh did their mst grundbreaking wrk early in their careers tended t be "cnceptual" innvatrs（创新者）.
These type f innvatrs "think utside the bx", challenging cnventinal wisdm and suddenly cming up with new ideas. Cnceptual innvatrs are nt yet immersed (沉浸于) in the accepted theries f their field, Weinberg said.
But there is anther kind f creativity, he said, which is fund amng "experimental" innvatrs. These innvatrs accumulate knwledge thrugh their careers and find new ways t understand it.
The lng perids f trial and errr fr imprtant experimental innvatins cme later in a Nbel laureate's(荣誉获得者的) career.
"Whether yu hit yur creative peak early r late in yur career depends n whether yu have a cnceptual r experimental apprach," Weinberg said.
The researchers tk a nvel, empirical(经验主义的) apprach t the study, which invlved 31 laureates. They arranged the laureates n a list frm the mst experimental t mst cnceptual.
This ranking was based n the laureates' mst imprtant wrk, classifying them int "cnceptual" r "experimental" .
After classifying the laureates, the researchers determined the age at which each laureate made his mst imprtant cntributin t ecnmics and culd be cnsidered at his creative peak.
They fund that cnceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29. Experimental laureates peaked when they were rughly twice as ld, in their'mid-50s.
"Our research suggests that when yu're mst creative is mre abut hw yu apprach yur wrk."
12．What did the study published in De Ecnmist find?
A．Ecnmists are mre creative than artists and ther scientists.
B．Ecnmists, artists and ther scientists have much in cmmn.
C．Creativity cmes at any age, yung r ld.
D．Creativity tends t decrease as peple get lder.
13．What des the underlined phrase "think utside the bx" mean?
A．Figure ut hw t escape frm a bx.
B．Fllw rules strictly.
C．Experiment n bxes.
D．Break ld thught patterns.
14．What d we knw abut "experimental" innvatrs?
A．They make discveries thrugh cnstant trial and errr.
B．They usually cme up with new ideas all f a sudden.
C．They make mre cntributins than "cnceptual" innvatrs.
D．The majrity f them reach their creative peak in their twenties.
15．What d the researchers believe determines smene's creative peak?

In rder t encurage us students t prtect the traditinal Chinese cultures, a heated discussin was held in my class last week. The students hld different pints f view abut that. Sme suggest resisting Western hlidays due t their strng influence. Sme argue that we are suppsed t hld sme creative activities t celebrate traditinal cultures s that we can have fun during Chinese festivals. Still thers cnsider varius cmpetitins shuld be held at times, which prvides mre chances fr the citizens t recite Chinese pems and practice calligraphy.

While the start f a new schl year is always exciting, this year was even mre s fr sme elementary schl students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the wrld's first kids t be "taught" by a digital teacher. Befre yu start imagining a human-like rbt walking arund the classrm, Will is just an avatar that appears n the student's desktp, r smartphne screen, when rdered t cme.
The autnmus animatin platfrm has been mdeled after the human brain and nervus system, allwing it t shw human-like behavir. The digital teacher is assigned t teach Vectr's "Be sustainable with energy"— a free prgram fr Auckland elementary schls.
Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able t instantly react t the students' respnses t the tpic. Thanks t a webcam and micrphne, the avatar nt nly respnds t questins the kids may have, but als picks up nn-verbal cues. Fr instance, if a student smiles at Will, he respnds by smiling back. This tw-way interactin nt nly helps attract the students' attentin, but als allws the prgram's develpers t mnitr their engagement, and make changes if needed.
Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars culd be a nvel way t catch the attentin f the next generatin. He says, "I have a lt f hpe in this technlgy as a means t deliver cst-effective, rich, educatinal experience in the future."
The prgram, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, " What was fascinating t me was the reactin f the children t Will. The way they lk at the wrld is s creative and different, and Will really captured their attentin."
Hwever, regardless f hw ppular it becmes, Will is unlikely t replace human educatrs any time sn.

If yu believe that scientists and artists are mst creative when they're yung, yu are missing an imprtant part f the stry. A new study published in De Ecnmist lked at Nbel Prize winners in the field f ecnmics. It fund there are tw different peaks f creativity. One cmes early in a persn's career, while anther cmes later.
The research supprts previus wrk by the authrs that fund similar patterns in the arts and ther sciences.
"We believe what we fund in this study isn't limited t ecnmics, but culd apply t creativity mre generally," said Bruce Weinberg, lead authr f the study and prfessr f ecnmics at The Ohi State University.
"Many peple believe that creativity is exclusively assciated with yuth, but it really depends n what kind f creativity yu're talking abut."
In the study, thse wh did their mst grundbreaking wrk early in their careers tended t be "cnceptual" innvatrs（创新者）.
These type f innvatrs "think utside the bx", challenging cnventinal wisdm and suddenly cming up with new ideas. Cnceptual innvatrs are nt yet immersed (沉浸于) in the accepted theries f their field, Weinberg said.
But there is anther kind f creativity, he said, which is fund amng "experimental" innvatrs. These innvatrs accumulate knwledge thrugh their careers and find new ways t understand it.
The lng perids f trial and errr fr imprtant experimental innvatins cme later in a Nbel laureate's(荣誉获得者的) career.
"Whether yu hit yur creative peak early r late in yur career depends n whether yu have a cnceptual r experimental apprach," Weinberg said.
The researchers tk a nvel, empirical(经验主义的) apprach t the study, which invlved 31 laureates. They arranged the laureates n a list frm the mst experimental t mst cnceptual.
This ranking was based n the laureates' mst imprtant wrk, classifying them int "cnceptual" r "experimental" .
After classifying the laureates, the researchers determined the age at which each laureate made his mst imprtant cntributin t ecnmics and culd be cnsidered at his creative peak.
They fund that cnceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29. Experimental laureates peaked when they were rughly twice as ld, in their'mid-50s.
"Our research suggests that when yu're mst creative is mre abut hw yu apprach yur wrk."
12．What did the study published in De Ecnmist find?
A．Ecnmists are mre creative than artists and ther scientists.
B．Ecnmists, artists and ther scientists have much in cmmn.
C．Creativity cmes at any age, yung r ld.
D．Creativity tends t decrease as peple get lder.
13．What des the underlined phrase "think utside the bx" mean?
A．Figure ut hw t escape frm a bx.
B．Fllw rules strictly.
C．Experiment n bxes.
D．Break ld thught patterns.
14．What d we knw abut "experimental" innvatrs?
A．They make discveries thrugh cnstant trial and errr.
B．They usually cme up with new ideas all f a sudden.
C．They make mre cntributins than "cnceptual" innvatrs.
D．The majrity f them reach their creative peak in their twenties.
15．What d the researchers believe determines smene's creative peak?

Tw men, bth seriusly ill, ccupied the same hspital rm. One man called Ben was allwed t sit up in his bed fr an hur each afternn t help drain（排出）the fluid frm his lungs. His bed was next t the rm's nly windw. The ther man, Le, had t spend all his time flat n his back.
The men talked fr hurs n end. They spke f their wives and families, their hmes, their jbs, their invlvement in the military service, where they had been n vacatin.
And every afternn when Ben culd sit up, he wuld pass the time by describing t his rmmate all the things he culd see utside the windw. Le began t live fr thse ne-hur perids where his wrld wuld be bradened and lightened by all the activity and clr f the wrld utside.
The windw verlked a park with a lvely lake. Ducks and swans played n the water while children sailed their mdel bats. Yung lvers walked arm in arm amng flwers f every clr f the rainbw. Grand ld trees graced the landscape, and a fine view f the city culd be seen in the distance. As Ben described all this in detail, Le wuld clse his eyes and imagine the beautiful scene.
One warm afternn Ben described a parade passing by. Althugh Le culdn't hear the band—he culd see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the windw described it with descriptive wrds. Each time the nurse saw the warm and tuching scene, she was always struck by devted friendship between these tw men. Days and weeks passed.

Hw t prtect the traditinal Chinese cultures?
In rder t encurage us students t prtect the traditinal Chinese cultures, a heated discussin was held in my class last week. The students hld different pints f view abut that. Sme suggest resisting Western hlidays due t their strng influence. Sme argue that we are suppsed t hld sme creative activities t celebrate traditinal cultures s that we can have fun during Chinese festivals. Still thers cnsider varius cmpetitins shuld be held at times, which prvides mre chances fr the citizens t recite Chinese pems and practice calligraphy.
In my view, it is high time that we spared n effrt t prtect the traditinal Chinese cultures. Otherwise we will regret ne day.
