Glden Eye — Tina Turner
Glden Eye (1995)
Glden Eye sees a cat-like Turner wandering abut thrughut its sund stage, flashing her claws where necessary. Its sweeping arrangement and sentimental brass (感伤的铜管乐) cntribute t a pwerful vcal perfrmance. The strings are mixed with hrns that sund like a passing train. This is effrtless singing frm Turner and her amazing cntrl is a jy t hear.
Tmrrw Never Dies — Sheryl Crw
Tmrrw Never Dies (1997)
This rck/pp little number has always felt rather clear t the listeners. It is a bit Bnd-aping (邦德式模仿) rather than creating smething new all by itself, which is what it shuld ideally be aiming fr. Crw gives it her all with her sft vice.
Yu Knw My Name — Chris Crnell
Casin Ryal (2006)

The title theme that mst peple can’t actually remember. By all accunts, Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall was written very quickly, and frankly, it shws. Far frm being a terrible sng, it just lacks basically everything that a Bnd theme needs. Sure, it certainly feels empty.

Asakawa ften flies between the US and Japan, making the jurney mnthly. If traveling alne she has t be helped at bth ends f the flight, which smetimes includes endless waiting. Searching fr a better replacement led Asakawa t invent a high-tech suitcase that helps get her t the place she wants t g safely.
“I never relax when I travel alne,” she says. “I always think abut what technlgy will help me travel easier, quicker and mre cmfrtably.” It was this restlessness that led t the AI suitcase.
The idea has been in develpment since 2017 thrugh research between IBM, ther Japanese cmpanies, and Carnegie Melln University in Pennsylvania. Asakawa says there are hpes t cmmercialize the suitcase and a pilt scheme(试验计划)is planned t use it in an airprt，a shpping mall and ther public spaces. Thugh the suitcase is t full f tech t hld any clthes, that culd change in the future, she says.
A runner, Asakawa held Olympic dreams as a child, but a swimming accident at age 11 caused her t gradually lse her sight until, aged 14, she became ttally blind. As a grwn-up she has paid attentin t develping accessibility technlgy. Amng her creatins is “a Designer,” whse aim is t make designers' websites mre user-friendly, and “IBM Hme Page Reader”, the first vice brwser(浏览器)t allw Internet access fr blind peple. Asakawa has wn industry and gvernment awards and been intrduced int the US Natinal Inventrs Hall f Fame.
“The blind peple usually use a white cane (手杖)r a guide dg. It will pen up many drs fr blind peple, because we'd be able t g anywhere by urselves. Withut new technlgy, we cannt make ur sciety mre inclusive,” Asakawa says. “A smart suitcase is a great shwcase fr hw AI and technlgy can change the lives f the blind.”

T prvide visitrs with a special experience, theme parks (主题公园) are putting mre mney int Virtual Reality (VR) technlgy. In fact, the lifestyle team f the website, The Week, attended the Internatinal Assciatin f Amusement Parks and Attractins (IAAPA) Exp in Orland. The purpse was t d a study n the implementatin ( 实施) f VR technlgy n rller casters (过山车). The team studied 23 rller caster manufacturers (制造商) in Eurpe and fund that eight f thse manufacturers had implemented VR technlgy int at least ne f their rller casters. Based n their study, it appears that VR technlgy is already an imprtant and grwing factr in the future develpment f theme parks.
The theme park industry at first saw VR technlgy as a cst-saving means t put new life int attractins. In 2015, cmpanies such as Six Flags began adding VR technlgy t their rller casters. It sn became clear, hwever, that there were many difficulties with implementing VR technlgy n the rides. Because f the time it tk t prvide riders with VR headsets (头戴式受话器), wait times and lines began t increase. Mrever, cmpanies had t train emplyees hw t set up the VR systems and make sure that all headsets were clean. This prved nt t be cst-saving, s new systems had t be put int place.
Busch Gardens in Williamsburg Virginia, set ut t slve these prblems by develping a tw-part headset fr the ride Battle fr Eire. The park wrked with Falcn's Creative Grup t develp this new technlgy, which allwed guests t be fitted with a headpiece while waiting in line. This shrtened wait times and prvided a cleaner envirnment. Falcn's Creative Grup and Busch Gardens used creative thinking t imprve an attractin that was built arund VR.
Accrding t TEA / AECOM Glbal Attractins Attendance Reprt, 2018 saw mre than 252 millin peple visit the tp 25 theme parks in the wrld. T keep these numbers, it is imprtant that these and ther theme-park cmpanies cntinue t cme up with new ideas t create and intrduce great attractins — especially thse that make use f new VR technlgy.
12. What did The Week find?
A. VR technlgy may greatly influence the future theme parks.
B. Half f the studied theme parks have used VR technlgy.
C. Rller casters were getting less ppular than befre.
D. Theme parks have nt realized the imprtance f VR technlgy.
13. What happened after Six Flags used VR technlgy?
A. Visitrs thught highly f the imprvement.B. The number f visitrs hugely increased.
C. Many unexpected prblems appeared.D. A lt f mney was saved.
14. What did Busch Gardens d?
A. It creatively develped a headset.
B. It emplyed mre wrkers.
C. It wrked with ther cmpanies t build new theme parks.
D It chse t use its traditinal technlgy again.

“Yes. Srry if yu did nt make it this year. There is always next year,” the cach replied withut the slightest bit f regret.
I culd feel the ht, bitter tears building in my eyes, and I ran ut f the rm as fast as I culd. As sn as I walked ut, I saw my friends crwding int the lcker rm t lk at the team list.
