    David Beckham is set to present a new Disney Plus series called "Save Our Squad." Co-produced by Twenty Twenty and Beckham's production outfit Studio (制片室) 99, the series will find the football idol returning to East London football pitches where he played as a child. He will assist a young boy who are struggling to survive in the league. Beckham and his team will take the players, their coach and their community on a transformative journey of a lifetime. "Save our Squad" will be executive produced by Sean Doyle, who joined the company last year.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger keeps saying "hasta la vista" to his most famous movie phrases. The action-film star's son Patrick Schwarzenegger is a guest on the Thursday, April 15 episode (集) of The Kelly Clarkson Show to promote his new Netflix film Moxie. As seen in a preview clip, host Kelly Clarkson wanted to know if Arnold, 73, uses his well-known one-liners (俏皮话) in everyday life. As it turns out, he definitely does.

    Candace Cameron Bure is supporting a friend to remind the world that her positive spirit is not an act. The 45-year-old Hallmark Channel keystone appeared on the Monday, April 12 episode of the Bob Saget's Here For You podcast, where she asked host Bob Saget to address online comments she's received from fans who have questioned whether her generally happy behaviour is truly genuine. Bob is certainly a good person to ask, given that he has known the actress since Full House first launched in September 1987.

    Allison Janney is loving her new look, but the producers of her long-running show Mom apparently took some convincing. The 61-year-old Oscar winner visited The Tonight Show on Wednesday, April 14, where she spoke with host Jimmy Fallon about the fact that her CBS situation comedy is coming to an end after eight successful seasons.

    A school in Connecticut once held "a day devoted to the arts", and I was invited to talk about writing as a career. When I arrived I found that a second speaker had been invited — Dr. Brock, a surgeon who had recently begun to write and had sold some stories to magazines. He was also going to talk about writing as a career. We sat down to face a crowd of students and teachers and parents, all eager to learn the secrets of our charming work.

    The first question went to Dr. Brock. What was it like to be a writer? He said it was extreme fun. Coming home from a heavy day at the hospital, he would go straight to his yellow pad and write his pressure away. The words just flowed. It was easy. I then said that writing wasn't easy and wasn't fun. It was hard and lonely, and the words seldom just flowed.

    Next Dr. Brock was asked if it was important to rewrite, Absolutely not, he said. "Let it all hang out," he told us, and whatever form the sentences take will reflect the writer at his most natural. I then said that rewriting is the essence of writing. I pointed out that professional writers rewrite their sentences over and over and then rewrite what they have rewritten.

    "What do you do on days when it isn't going well" Dr. Brock was asked. He said he just stopped writing and put the work aside for a day when it would go better. I then said that the professional writer must establish a daily schedule and stick to it. I said that writing is a craft, not an art, and that the man who runs away from his craft because he lacks inspiration is fooling himself. He is also going broke.

    As for the students, anyone might think we left them confused. But in fact we gave them a broader glimpse of the writing process than if only one of us had talked. For there isn't any "right" way to do such personal work. There are all kinds of writers and all kinds of methods, and any method that helps you to say what you want to say is the right method for you.

    (1) Why were the author and Dr. Brock invited?
    A . To participate in an art event. B . To debate a charming job. C . To share their writing secrets. D . To sell their stories and magazines.
    (2) What do we know about Dr. Brock from the passage?
    A . He thought being a writer was as easy as a doctor. B . He felt writing washed away his stress. C . He found rewriting was definitely helpful. D . He was tired of his busy work at the school.
    (3) What did the author do as a professional writer?
    A . He carried out his writing plans strictly. B . He hung out his craft after rewriting. C . He gave up writing for lack of creativity. D . He wrote with the words flowing freely.
    (4) What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
    A . To complain about a day devoted to the arts. B . To describe a writing style of the surgeon. C . To announce the necessity of rewriting. D . To remind us to choose suitable writing methods.

    People from all walks of life tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.

    The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, "They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation."

    Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.

    Dr. Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. "If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking," said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not completely new. "In the 19th century people started to use the "telegraph' to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely."

    Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company." If you don't know about it, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to."

    (1) What is the subject discussed in this passage?
    A . How to communicate using email. B . How to solve a problem using email. C . How people open up when emailing. D . How people do research studies when emailing.
    (2) What is the reason why some pairs talked freely about themselves?
    A . They couldn't see each other B . They didn't talk about very personal things C . The cameras on the computers were turned on D . They had to discuss a question
    (3) What does the underlined sentence refer to?
    A . The telegraph. B . Emailing. C . The computer. D . Face-to-face talk.
    (4) Which of the following is the Dr. Johnson's opinion?
    A . We should focus on ourselves when emailing. B . We should talk more freely in emails than usual. C . We should discuss any subject when emailing. D . We should consider how to use email at work.

    After years in the wilderness, the term 'artificial intelligence' (AI) seems to make a comeback. AI was big in the 1980s but vanished in the 1990s. It re-entered public consciousness with the release of AI, a movie about a robot boy. Researchers, executives and marketing people are now using the expression. It is becoming acceptable again to talk of computers performing human tasks such as problem-solving and pattern-recognition. Admittedly, the return of the term has a long way to go, and some firms still prefer to avoid using it. But the fact that others are starting to use it again suggests that AI has moved on.

    The field was launched, and the term 'artificial intelligence' was created, at a conference in 1956 by a group of researchers that included Marvin Minsky, John McCarthy, Herbert Simon and Alan Newell, all of whom went on to become leading figures in the field. The goal they shared was an attempt to capture human abilities using machines. That said, different groups of researchers attacked different problems, from speech recognition to chess playing, in different ways. AI unified the field in name only. But it was a term that captured the public imagination.

    Most researchers agree that AI peaked around 1985. For years, AI researchers had implied that a breakthrough was just around the corner. However, thinking computers and household robots failed to materialise. People realized these were hard problems. By the late 1980s, the term AI was being avoided by many researchers. Even in some ways, AI was a victim of its own success. Meanwhile, the technologies that made it onto the market, such as speech recognition, language translation and decision-support software, were no longer regarded as AI. Yet all three once fell well within the umbrella of AI research.

    But the tide may now be turning, according to Dr Leake. HNC Software of San Diego, backed by a government agency, reckon that their new approach to artificial intelligence is the most powerful and promising approach ever discovered. HNC claim that their system, based on a group of 30 processors, could be used to spot camouflaged (伪装)vehicles on a battlefield or extract a voice signal from a noisy background-tasks humans can do well, but computers cannot.

    "Whether or not their technology lives up to the claims made for it, the fact that HNC are highlighting the use of AI is itself an interesting development," says Dr Leake.

    Another factor that may promote the future for AI is that investors (投资者) are now looking for firms using clever technology, rather than just a clever business model, to differentiate themselves. That may mean that more artificial intelligence companies will start to emerge to meet this challenge.

    (1) Why is the movie AI referred to in the first paragraph?
    A . To explain the term of AI. B . To inform the history of AI. C . To introduce the return of AI. D . To show the success of AI.
    (2) What happened at the conference in 1956?
    A . It started a field — AI in the meeting. B . AI only captured the public imagination. C . The researchers captured human abilities using machines. D . All of the researchers attending the meeting became leaders.
    (3) What do we know from the passage with AI off-peak.
    A . Researchers didn't work on AI. B . AI became a victim of the term. C . Some researchers stopped using the term AI. D . Technologies fell well within the umbrella of AI.
    (4) What is one of the reasons for AI's bright future?
    A . The support from all agencies of government. B . The investment in companies using AI. C . The occurrence of more AI companies. D . The usage of camouflaged vehicles on a battlefield.

    The death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, at Windsor Castle at the age of 99, has been announced by Buckingham Palace.

    Prince Philip married the future Queen Elizabeth II, at Westminster Abbey in 1947. He went on to become the longest-serving consort (统治者的配偶) of any monarch in British history, accompanying his wife on her royal duties around the country and the world.

    He also had a busy life of his own, championing many causes and charities, including setting up the hugely successful Duke of Edinburgh Award program.  When he retired from public life in August 2017, the records showed that in addition to accompanying the queen, the prince had attended 22,219 public events on his own.

    Born in 1921 on the Greek island of Corfu, Philip, prince of Greece and Denmark, and sixth in line to the throne of Greece, had an unstable (动荡的) childhood.  His father was largely absent on military duty and, later, in political exile, and his mother, who suffered severe hearing loss, experienced mental health issues that resulted in her spending time at a rest room. .

    After leaving school in the United Kingdom, Philip attended the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, and when the royal family paid a visit in 1939, he was given the task of accompanying the 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth.

    A. It was the start of a life-long romance.

    B. It aimed at encouraging schoolchildren to take part in charity work.

    C. He wrote to her mother, saying," To have fallen in love completely."

    D. Philip was on the opposite side in the conflict to his German brothers-in-law.

    E. The young Philip was often cared for by British relatives, a move that was to prove life-changing.

    F. He had four older sisters, the youngest being seven years his senior, so he grew up as effectively an only child.

    G. It brings the curtain down on a remarkable public life and an era of huge transformation in British social and national history.

    So far, many dolphins worldwide have been captured and kept in small pools, performing for people, especially kids. These dolphins are fed with fish instead of having to 1 them.

    Adult humpback whales living in the deep ocean, which are extremely huge, can be 16 metres long and weigh up to 35,000 kilos! Even babies are very big. To look for food and warm waters. They swim long distances, together in a group.

    Last week, there was an oil spill (溢出) and a large area of the ocean was polluted severely. It was difficult for the sea creatures to see and swim there. Some even lost their lives. A baby whale, or calf, nearly died. The water dirty, though he tried his best to follow his companions, he swam away from the other whales and got lost.

    The calf attempted to find his mother but he couldn't see anything. He was very tired so he let the water carry him. The next morning, the calf stranded (搁浅) on a beach in Didgery Bay. He couldn't breathe and he was too hot without water. Hearing the news of a humpback whale on the beach, crowds of people came to see the stranded whale, excited. Taking photos with their cameras, they all looked at and talked about the creature, without doing anything. The calf was becoming weaker and weaker.

    Rawiri, a kind-hearted boy, loved whales, reading books and watching films about these amazing creatures. He wanted to work with animals when he grew up. On seeing what happened on the beach, Rawiri walked over to the whale and touched him gently. The calf's skin was covered in a layer of oil. All the other people just looked and took photos. Suddenly, Rawiri turned to the crowd and shouted, "Come on! We must help the whale. It's dying!"

    Some people from the crowd answered, "It's too big! What can we do?" Some adults smiled loudly. They thought Rawiri was just a idealistic kid.

    But Rawiri had a plan.
