Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized it or not, women are besieged by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth ?But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their minds proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced with many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage , concern for others, etc.In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concept. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty that is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good looks are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.56. According to the first paragraph, why are women caught by a sea of fashion ?A. Because they are rich.B. Because they are taught to follow any fashion.C. Because they don’t dare to look attractive.D. Because they think that they will look youthful and charming with beautiful clothes.57. Which is more important to a woman in the author’s opinion ?A. Richness of one’s mindB. LooksC. Following the fashionD. Wealth58. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?A. The richness of women’s minds proves to be more beautiful than their looksB. A woman who may be called “aunt” is no longer beautifulC. A woman who has experienced many troubles may still maintain her beautyD. It is not necessary for women to show their beauty through their beautiful clothes59. What is the best way for a woman to appear young according to the writer ?A. Dressing upB. Reading and learningC. Feeding the flowerD. Making up(B)It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives only three to five minutes. Sometimes the hurt brain gets better by itself. More often the doctors can’t fix the hurt. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help. It is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctor might make the person worse if he works on the brain.Dr. Robert J. White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for thirty minutes. This gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs. Then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain temperature was 50 degrees. Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back. He warmed the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were like they were before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.Dr. White’s idea works well on the monkeys. Are there other problems on human beings? Dr. White thinks doctors will use his idea on human beings. He thinks it will help people who have heart problems, too. A person doesn’t have to die when his heart stops. Doctors can start it again. The problems e when the brain is without blood for three to five minutes, the person has a living body, but a dead brain. Maybe in the future , doctors will try Dr. White’s idea. When the person’s heart stops, the doctors will quickly try to cool the brain. They will have 30 minutes to start the heart again. Maybe there will be no problem with the brain.60.The passage mainly discusses _______.A. the importance of the brainB. Dr. White’s test on some monkeysC. the cause of brain deathD. Dr. White’s idea on operating the brain61. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______.A. blood is very important to the brainB. doctors have much trouble in curing a patient of a hurt brainC. at present there is no way to fix the hurt brainD. doctors are not willing to operate on a patient with a hurt brain62. According to the last paragraph, it could be inferred that when a heart attack happens,_______.A. the patient will die in three to five minutesB. doctors will cool the patient’s brain in no timeC. blood will stop flowing in three to five minutes in the patient’s bodyD. doctors will start the patient’s heart again in thirty minutes63. It seems that the writer believes _______.A. the brain is more easily hurt than any other part of the bodyB. in fact Dr. White’s test on the monkeys is not so successfulC. the heart disease means deathD. at present Dr. White’s idea can’t be used on human beings(C)Without proper training, dogs will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongs, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems . But it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of munication between you and your dog. Effective munication is necessary to instruct your dog in what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “e here! Sit” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach you’re your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show obedience to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. A well –trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.64. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.A. get worse in modern societyB. occur only when they go wildC. be just part of their natureD. present a threat to society65. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.A. teach the dog to perform tricksB. teach the dog to serve its ownerC. make the dog aware of its owner’s powerD. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior66. Effective munication between a dog and its owner is _______.A. a good way to teach a dog new tricksB. the foundation for dogs to perform tasksC. an extreme measure in obedience trainingD. essential to solve a dog’s behavior problems67.

You won't be for long . Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too .In Shantzis' Hi-Rise Recycling System , a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated . The system , which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use , enables glass , plastic , paper , metal , and other rubbish to go into separate boxes .The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door . The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button , a microputer locks all other floors' chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box es under the chute . The puter also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full . And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclablesSorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting . Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive , so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted . Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials bee more cost-effective.72. The purpose in writing this text is _________.A．to encourage people to recycle their rubbishB．to introduce a recycling system for high risesC．to describe the use of puter technology in recyclingD．to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises73.

Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ___________A．lock the other floors' chute doors B．check if the container is fullC．press the correct button D．break up the rubbish75. The biggest advantage of this new system is that _________A．it reduces the cost of recycling B．it saves time and spaceC．it saves money for people living in high risesD．it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment四、短文改错(10分)：We got up early this morning and took long walk after 76__________breakfast.

Each day, 27 kids entered "The Thinking Laboratory". That was the name students voted for after deciding that "Room 104" was too dull.Freddy was an average student, but not an average person. He had the rare balance of fun and compassion（同情）, He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone's misfortune.Before the school year ended, I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words "Verbs Are Your friends" on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs may seem dull, most of the fun things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.Through the years, I'd run into former students who would provide updates on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same caring person I met forty years before. Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.Just last year, I was conducting a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door. A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the "Verbs" shirt and a note from Freddy's mother. "Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this."I told the story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn't help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all took something from Freddy.（1）What is "The Thinking Laboratory"?A.The name of the school.B.The name of the classroom.C.The name of the school library.D. The name of the writer's workshop.（2）Which of the following can best explain "Verbs Are Your Friends"?A.Verbs are as dull as your daily life.B.Students should be friendly to verbs.C.Students can use verbs to record their lives.D.Verbs will company you all the way.（3）What did Freddy do after graduation?A.He laughed loudest for fun.B.He bought a house for his friend.C.He did all he could to help others.D.He worked hardest in his work place.（4）Why did the writer smile hearing Freddy's story?A.They learned something from Freddy.B.Freddy ended up as the best student.C.The class considered the story amusing.D.The "Verbs" shirt and a note were sent back.3.When I first married my wife, I lived and worked in Ontario, moving from small town to big city as I pursued my career as a radio broadcaster. We have two sons, both of whom were born in Toronto and moved with us to Ottawa. They went to school, grew up there, and then pursuing their own careers, they also moved. One went to Canada's east coast near a city called Halifax and the other headed to the west coast Vancouver. We had a dilemma; we were left in the middle.The problem wasn't pressing at the time because I was still working and my job was in Ottawa. However, as we began to considering retirement we wondered where we should spend our final years. We couldn't be close to both of our children and there was no telling when they might again relocate. For several reasons, we settled on a small town on Vancouver Island. At least we were close to one of them. However, he had his sights set on Hollywood and, when an opportunity presented itself, he left Canada and headed south. So, there we were, and still are, in our little west coast town. We love our little corner of paradise（乐园）but we paid a price. We have not been there for some important eventssuch as the births of two of our grandchildren. We have missed watching them grow up, backyard barbecues, and the normal, noisy households. Our home, while comfortable, is also very quiet.Every fall we travel to see the children and try to spend a week or more with them and we make the even longer trip to see our grandchildren, who are now teenagers, actually into their twenties. They seldom come to visit us. The distances are just too great and it is costly.Fortunately, both our boys are doing well and our grandchildren are growing straight and tall. We love all of them and they love us but the reality is that they don't need us. We have done our jobs and at least in theory, we can sit back, relax and enjoy the time remaining to us. In fact, we're happy but there were times I think about the things we didn't see. They have also missed having a set of parents and grandparents around.Life has been good for our family but we have paid a price.（1）What's the pressing problem that the author mentions in the second paragraph?A.Both their children have moved.B.He will have to retire in a couple of years.C.Where they should spend their final years.D.Where their children might relocate again.（2）How does the author feel after his son headed south?A.Quiet but lonely.B.Satisfied but upset.C.Delighted but regretful.D.Lucky but sorry.（3）We can infer the author and his wife travel to see their children ______.A.to spend their remaining years togetherB.to spare more time for their childrenC.to save more money for their childrenD.to catch up on something they've missed（4）Why does the author think their family have paid a price?A.Both they and their children and grandchildren have missed something.B.Traveling to each other costs too much for both of the parents and children.C.They have not been accompanying their grandchildren as they grow.D.They can not live with their children and grandchildren for a long time.4.When you watch a movie these days, it's difficult to tell what's real and what's created by using computers. Visual effects can even change how movies are made.Almost anything that can be imagined by a director can now become reality in the world of movies. "We're really not limited by the technology," said David Smith, the CEO of Sony Pictures Imageworks. Mr Smith said that with today's technology. the digital world was more realistic than ever before. For The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Mr Smith's team created a Times Square that was exactly like the real one in New York. "If there are lights inside the stores that are lighting areas inside the store we put those lights there," said Mr Smith.But there was still one challenge for visual effects artists, said Paul Debevec of the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies. "We're still trying to figure out how to perfect the human face in movies," said Debevec. He said the movie—The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was still one of the best examples of computer generated movies, as actor Brad Pitt could be from an aged man to a baby in the movie.Mr Debevec added that besides changing the look of an actor's face, there could be another use for digital faces in the entertainment. Last year, effects artists created a digital face of the Asian pop singer Teresa Teng who was dead. Fans could still see and hear the concert on YouTube.Mr Debevec expects directors will start to use more virtual production techniques, like those seen in the movie Avatar. Mr Debevec says that with virtual production, there won't be a need for so many people behind the scenes. But visual effects artists agree, even with advanced technology, there is no replacement for a real actor showing a character in a movie.（1）By mentioning The Amazing Spider-Man 2 the writer wants to show that ______.A.it was a movie that was really worth seeingB.making the kind of movie was costlyC.a number of things in the movie are virtualD.the digital world has become very realistic（2）What does the underlined part "another use for digital faces" in the fourth paragraph mean?A.Making old actors very young in movies.B.Creating an actor that has never existed.C.Bringing back actors who are not alive.D.Changing actor's faces in different cases.（3）What's the attitude of visual effect artists toward Mr Debevec's view mentioned in the last paragraph?A.Approvable.B.Negative.C.Objective.D.Unconcerned.二、七选五5.Tips on How to Get Along Better With PeopleYour coworker may drive you up the wall, but you've decided you'll no longer rise to his or her bait（引诱）. Try these tips for improving your relationship with his or her—and anyone else who pushes your buttons.（1）______Thinking about potential criticisms ahead of lime allows you to have an appropriate response on hand should you need it.（2）______ If you don't get engaged in the content of his or her comment, you push his or her back into a positive intent, which makes a person think about why he or she offered a rude comment.2. Switch thinkingRealize that every single human being has a different way of looking at life,（3）______ If you try to approach things from his or her angle, you may find that potentially sticky conversations will go far more smoothly.3. Slow DownTake the time to stop and compose yourself after someone says something you don't like.（4）______ A lot of times you'll find out that the person's intent is not to hurt you, and once you've understood that, things often clear up.4. Be positivePeople who are at ease, polite, understanding and considerate are always charming and attractive. Dress well, work on accepting compliments gracefully—without worrying about whether you deserve them.（5）______ Practice these skills long enough, and they will become second-nature.A. Prepare Yourself.B. Be pleasant, and smile.C. you can't have two competing emotions at the same time.D. and then make an effort to understand the other person's point of view.E.

However, not Gitanjali Rao. The 15-year-old girl has been coming up with innovative solutions to worldwide problems since she was ten. It is, therefore, not surprising that the teenager has won the honor of “America's Top Young Scientist”.In the third grade, Rao was inspired to build a device after witnessing the shocking story unfold in Flint, Michigan, where cost-cutting measures led to the use of a polluted river as the city's primary water supply and incredibly high levels of lead made their way into people's drinking water.After two months' research, Rao designed a small and portable device that used sensors to instantly detect lead in water. Called Tethys, after the Greek Goddess(女神) of freshwater, it attaches to a cellphone and informs the residents via an app if their drinking water contains lead. The design earned her the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2017. She is currently working with scientists and medical professionals to test Tethys' potential and hopes the device will be ready for commercial use by 2022.Later, Rao took on another social issue-drug addiction. Her app, called Epione, which won the Health Pillar Prize at the TCS Ignite Innovation Student Challenge in May 2019, is designed to catch drug addiction in young adults before it's too late.More recently, the teenager has developed an app named Kindly, which usesartificial intelligence technology to detect possible signs of cyberbullying(网上欺凌). When users type in a word or phrase, Kindly is able to pick it up if it's bullying, and then it gives the option to edit it or send it the way it is. It gives them the chance to rethinkwhat they are saying so that they know what to do next time.All kinds of awesome, Gitanjali Rao has been selected from 5,000 equally impressive nominees(被提名人) for TIME Magazine's first-ever “Kid of the Year”.4. What gave Rao the idea of inventing the device Tethys?A. The incident of lead pollution.B. The issue with drug addiction.C. The shortage of water supplies.D. The high cost of purifying water.5. What is Rao expecting of Tethys?A. It'll remove metal from water.B. It'll make it to market soon.C. It'll win her a higher prize.D. It'll be fitted to cellphones.6. What will Kindly allow users to do?A. Receive pre-warning signals of threat.B. Input words into a computer automatically.C. Choose from secure social networking sites.D. Weigh their words before posting them online.7. Which of the following can best describe Gitanjali Rao as a young scientist?A. Ambitious and humble.B. Optimistic and adventurous.C. Talkative and outstanding.D. Creative and productive.CHundreds of children are being treated for sleep problems in Wales every year. In some cases，babies，infants (婴儿)and teenagers have been admitted to hospital in north Wales alone.The Children’s Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use. Public Health Wales said sleep was as important to a child’s health as healthy eating and exercise，and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.Statistics obtained (获得) under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospitals across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.Children aged between 0 and 4 made up the highest number of inpatients (住院病人)，with some newbornsbeing treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.Vicki Dawson，who set up the Children’s Sleep Charity (CSC)，said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety. “Their weight and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health，”she said.Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldn’t concentrate for long periods.Psychologist Amy McClelland，of Sleep Wales，saida common problem was that children were “over excited”before bed and that families should get back to basics. “Think 1950s family home. Dinner as a family，read，chat，a film maybe，lights off and then bed. ”She added.8. What’s the mainreason why children are short of sleep？A. Less exercise.B. Eating habits.C. Technology use.D.

The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support. Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living. Before they moved to the house, they lived with their family. Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain(负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavyhearted,” says Scott, who is planning to write a book about his life experiences. “But our parents now have a lot moretime for themselves. We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener, taking care of his own vegetable garden. The men share the house with one other young man, and they go to rugby league games, meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah. Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says. “The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however it is also a workplace for their support staff. Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months. However, by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”4. What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A. It was built by their parents.B. It can accommodate four residents.C. It belongs to a governmental project.D. It’s located in the center of Brisbane.5. Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?A. To help them do exercise.B. They were making a lot of noise.C.

What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?A. Lack of fund.B. No workplace.C. Inexperienced staff members.D. Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.CAfter finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-program called "Clear Plate" on his phone and took picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence.“Users of the app can use their credit to buy gifts, such as books and cellphones to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas,” Lin said.A nationwide "Clear Your Plate" campaign is gaining steam online. Efforts to stop food waste and promote thrift are also being made by restaurants that have been urged to create an environment in which consumers are reminded not to waste food. They are also encouraged to offer different portion sizes so that customers can have more choices.The “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and currently has nearly 1 million users.Liu Jichen, founder of the startup that developed the app, said that the idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that a restaurant would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected.“Such an idea can be realized online,” Liu said. He formed a team to work on the project.Yet it was quite challenge for the AI system to identify whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates.To make the AI system smarter, Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1,000 others, spent half a year collecting over 100, 000 samples in canteens and restaurants across the country and used the data to train neuralnetwork. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the startup to cooperate on the project.Through the visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce waste, he noted. "We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation, encouraging them to carry out the virtue of cherishing food and developing the habit of thrift, " Liu said8.

People are encouraged to buy gifts.10. What was the most difficult when the app was created?A. Getting other people to cooperate with the team.B. Collecting samples in canteens and restaurants.C. Ensuring the app to recognize empty plates.D. Finding people to fund the app.11. What is the purpose of the writing?A. To introduce an app.B. To promote saving food.C. To praise a startup founder.D. To raise fund for poor children.DA maverick describes a person who thinks independently. A maverick refuses to follow the customs or rules of a group to which he or she belongs. In the US, a maverick is often admired for his or her free spirit, although others who belong to the maverick’s group may not like the maverick’s independent ways.But where did the word “maverick” come from?Early in the 1800s, a man named Samuel Augustus Maverick settled down in Texas, which was a place of wide-open land, rich soil, cattle ranches(牛场) and cowboys. As the years passed, Mr. Maverick increased his property(财产) in Texas. Before long, he owned huge pieces of land that were good for raising cattle. But he had no cattle. He wasn’t a rancher.One day, a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. But the man didn’t have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn’t really want them. He simply put the cattle on his land to eat and care for themselves.It was not long before the cows reproduced(繁殖). The calves grew and had more calves. Soon, hundreds of cows and calves moved freely across Samuel Maverick’s land. They also moved across the land of nearby ranch owners.It was a tradition among ranchers in the West to put a mark of ownership on newborn calves. They burned the name of their ranch into the animal’s skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a “brand”. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle.Samuel Maverick refused to brand his calves. “Why should I?” he asked. If all the other cattle owners branded theirs, then those without a brand belonged to him.And this is how the word “maverick” entered the American language. It meant a calf without a brand. As time passed, the word “maverick” took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group.12. Why did the man give Samuel Maverick 400 head of cattle?A. To get some money.B. To return what he owed him.C. To buy some of his land.D. To ask him to raise them.13. How could the ranchers easily know who the cattle belonged to?A. Through the brand on the cattle.B. Through the name of the cattle.C. Through the appearance of the cattle.D. Through the land on which the cattle stayed.14. What can we learn about Samuel Augustus Maverick from the text?A. He was born in Texas.B. He took good care of all his cattle.C. He didn’t really want to accept the cattle.D. He followed the tradition of ranchers in the West.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How to become an independent thinker.B. “Maverick” means a calf without a brand.C. The life story of Samuel Augustus Maverick.D. How the word “maverick” got into American English.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Each day, 27 kids entered “TheThinking Laboratory. ” That was the name students voted fo r after deciding that “Room 104” was too dull.Freddy was an average student, but not an average person. He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情）.He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s misfortune.Before the school year ended，I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words “Verbs Are Your friends” on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs may seem dull,most of the fun things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.Through the years, Pd run into former students who would provide updates on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school andremained the same caring person I met forty years before. Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.Just last year, I was conducting a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door. A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the “Verbs” shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother. “Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this.”I told the story to the class.

We have two sons, both of whom were born in Toronto and moved with us to Ottawa. They went to school, grew up there, and then pursuing their own careers, they also moved. One went to Canada’s east coast near a city called Halifax and the other headed to the west coast Vancouver. We had a dilemma; we were left in the middle.The problem wasn’t pressing at the time because I was still working and my job was in Ottawa. However, as we began to considering retirement we wondered where we should spend our final years. We couldn’t be close to both of our children and there was no telling when they might again relocate. For several reasons, we settled on a small town on Vancouver Island. At least we were close to one of them. However, he had his sights set on Hollywood and, when an opportunity presented itself, he left Canada and headed south. So, there we were, and still are, in our little west coast town. We love our little comer of paradise (乐园）but we paid a price. We have not been there for some important events such as the births of two of our grandchildren. We have missed watching them grow up, backyard barbecues, and the normal, noisy households. Our home, while comfortable, is also very quiet.Every fall we travel to see the children and try to spend a week or more with them and we make the even longer trip to see our grandchildren, who are now teenagers, actually into their twenties. They seldom come to visit us. The distances are justtoo great and it is costly.Fortunately, both our boys are doing well and our grandchildren are growing straight and tall. We love all of them and they love us but the reality is that they don’t need us. We have done our jobs and at least in theory，we can sit back, relax and enjoy the time remaining to us. In fact, we’re happy but there were times I think about the things we didn’t see.

Visual effects can even change how mov ies are made.Almost anything that can be imagined by a director can now become reality in the world of movies. “We’ re really not limited by the technology, ’’ said David Smith, the CEO of Sony Pictures Imageworks. Mr Smith said that with today’s technology, the digital world was more realistic than ever before. For The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Mr Smith’s team created a Times Square that was exactly like the real one in New York. “If there are lights inside the stores that are lighting areas inside the st ore we put those lights there,”said Mr Smith.But there was still one challenge for visual effects artists, said Paul Debevec of the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies. “We’re still trying to figure out how to perfect the human face in movies, ” said Debevec. He said the movie 一 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was still one of the best examples of computer generated movies, as actor Brad Pitt could be from an aged man to a baby in the movie.Mr Debevec added that b esides changing the look of an actor’s face, there could be another use for digital faces in the entertainment. Last year, effects artists created a digital face of the Asian pop singer Teresa Teng who was dead. Fans could still see and hear the concert on YouTube.Mr Debevec expects directors will start to use more virtual production techniques, like those seen in the movie Avatar. Mr Debevec says that with virtual production, there won’t be a need for so many people behind the scenes. But visual effects artists agree, even with advanced technology, there is no replacement fora real actor showing a character in a movie.33.
