Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts（选拔）was only the7of it!When I first started8the practice sessions,I didn’t even know the rules of the game,much9what I was doing.Sometimes I’d get10and take a shot at the wrong direction which made me feel really stupid.11,I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game,so I decided to12on learning the game,do my best at each practice session,and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 13“just yet”.
I practiced and practiced.Soon I knew the14and the “moves”.Bei ng part of a team was fun and motivating.

Does the future of filmmaking lie in virtual reality films?
An ambitious team led by Yale senior Celine Tien might hold the answer to that question.
Tien produced,directed and acted in Pippa’s Pan,which she says is “one of the world’s first live-action VR films.”The film,which was c ompleted in April,mixes live action with VR sections.Some of the characters were created via animation（动画）and other techniques that distinguish the film from 360° VR videos like the ones frequently seen on YouTube.
“360° VR videos are stagnant,which means you don’t move with them and see a 360° view of whatever they’re filming.”Tien explained.“What we’re doing is immersive（沉浸式的）VR.When you put on the goggles you can physic.ally walk around in the space,pick up objects and engage with the environment.It’s a huge difference.”
The immersive VR film experience is different for everyone who interacts with the medium,but that doesn’t mean the film’s ending will change for each viewer.
The film stars two Chinese-speaking actors.”It’s a love story about a woman suffering from Alzheimer’s disease who is trying to bring back memories of her husband,”Tien said.
The film has already been recognized by the VR industry.After handing in a short demo to the AT&T Developer Summit Conference,Tien and her team were invited to Las Vegas in January,where they came in third place.
If you’re dying to see the film already,your choices area bit limited: Pippa’s Pan can’t be seen in movie theaters unless they happen to have VR goggles available.According to Tien,many theaters in China will soon have the ability,which makes sense considering China is the film’s target market.
Pippa’s Pan will be released in three languages: Chinese,English and Korean.“It can get spread in different ways: at film festivals with VR set ups and throu gh HTC or Oculus headset stores,”Tien says.“If you have VR goggles you can download it and experience it yourself.We will also cooperate with movie theaters that have VR set ups.”
（1）According to the passage,people who are watching the immersive VR film can_______.
A . produce and act in the film
B . involve themselves in the film
C . change the ending of the film
D . experience similarly in the film
（2）We can know from the passage that Pippa’s Pan is_______.
A . regarded as the best VR film
B . a theme-based story of love
C . the world’s first live-action VR film
D . about 8n effective cure for Alzheimer （3）If you want to watch the film Pippa’s Pan,you should_______.
A . go to a movie theater
B . learn three languages
C . have goggles available
D . attend film festivals
（4）The author writes the passage to_______.
A . explain to us how to watch a VR film
B . tell us that China has been the film’s target market
C . inform us that VR films are the future of filmmaking
D . introduce an ambitious team and their immersive VR film

Reaching Out to a New Friend in Starbucks
I’m a single mom looking for a job.One morning I had grabbed my favorite spot at a local Starbucks and was going through the newspaper when I noticed a man in ragged clothing looking really untidy.I felt led to speak to this man and so I did.
I learned that he was homeless and just wandered from place to place.Starbucks was nice enough to allow him to come in from the cold or the heat depending on the day.I also learned that he used to be an architect,but as
we spoke I saw more and more that he wasn’t at the fullest of mental capabilities,which made me even more upset that he didn’t have a place to go.
I sat with this man for a very long time in Starbucks calling different clinics,hospitals,shelters,police departments.He even gave me a beat up business card of a gentleman saying that was his son’s phone number.It was an out-of-state number,but I called anyway but was not able to reach him.Unfortunately,all the places I called were unable to take him.
I asked him if he was hungry and he said yes,so I went down the street to
a deli（熟食店）and ordered a sandwich and drink.When I got back,my new-found friend became angry for a reason I was not aware of or maybe it was some sort of mental disturbance.All I could do was set the sandwich down and told him that I’ll leave it there for hi m if he wanted it and I left.I walked around town for a couple of minutes and then headed back to see if he was still there.
A man who was sitting in Starbucks most of the time when I was there came out and told me that the man ate the sandwich and that he was touched that I had sat with him like I did.It seems to me that no matter whether something goes awry（非正常的）on the surface,there is always something beautiful at a deeper level.
I still remember my friend.I looked for him every time I was in town,but that was the last time I saw him.I hope that I had provided some glimmer of hope that he was not forgotten.
（1）How did the author feel when she noticed the poor man?
A . She felt lonely as a single mother.
B . She felt worried about her future job.
C . She felt it necessary to talk to the man.
D . She felt upset and disturbed by the man.
（2）Why did the author feel upset during her conversation with the wanderer?
A . Because she realized that the man was a liar rather than an architect.
B . Because the man was mentally incapable and might attack others.
C . Because the man was suffering from both physical and mental disabilities.
D . Because limited mental capabilities added to the difficulty of this homeless man.
（3）What did the author try to do for the poor man in Starbucks?
A . To find a shelter for him.
B . To wait for his son’s phone call.
C . To order him some food.
D . To prevent him from being hurt.
（4）We can learn from the underlined sentence that_______.
A . though unable to find a place for the man,she was praiseworthy
B . in spite of his messy appearance,the man had a grateful heart
C . though living a poor life,the homeless man remained optimistic
D . the man had a strong desire to share his satisfaction with others

A speech is a wonderful opportunity to inform,persuade or entertain.The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components （组成部分）.However,before you can go about the writing of a great speech,it is important to set goals.Goals keep you,your speech and your audience
focused.
What a goal is
In the context of a speech,a goal is the purpose of the speech,and what it hopes to accomplish.For example,the goal of a eulogy（颂歌）might be to celebrate the life of a loved one.The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question.
Why a goal is important
Without a goal,a speech is without direction.The goal informs the structure and content of the s peech.For example,if a speech’s goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them,the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal.A speech with a goal of informing audience will keep the information fair and factual.
A go al is incredibly important to the speech’s ability to connect with an audience.If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech,the audience will likely be unaware as well.This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.
Besides informing the au dience of the content and structure,a speech’s goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject but never establishes the goal,they won’t know where to start in the research,organizing and writing of the speech.
If you have been charged with delivering a speech,establishing a goal can seem difficult at first.There are several things to take into
consideration.First,think about who you will be speaking to.The demographic （人口统计）of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them or whether they will be able to sit through（一直坐到……结束）.Second,think about the topic itself.If the topic is something controversial （有争议的）,it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue.Finally,consider your resources.A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research,and sometimes takes more time to write.
（1）According to the passage,what three components does the best speech combine?
A . Informing, delivering and entertaining.
B . Informing, persuading and entertaining.
C . Informing, writing and delivering.
D . Informing, writing and persuading.
（2）The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be_______.
A . to persuade the audience to vote fora candidate
B . to celebrate the life of a person you admire
C . to entertain the audience with humor and magic
D . to persuade the audience to buy new products
（3）All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that_______.
A . a speech will lose its direction without a goal
B . a speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speech
C . a speech goal can help the speaker know about the research,organizing and writing
D . a speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life
（4）Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph?
A . How to achieve a speech goal
B . How to deliver a difficult speech
C . What to consider to establish a goal
D . What to consider to deliver a speech

Population ageing refers to the situation in which the average age of the citizens of a country increases as a result of longer life expectancy（预期寿命）of its citizens or a reduction in the number of births every year.Today, both developed and developing countries around the world are experiencing an increase in the average age of its citizens with a growing proportion（比例）of elders in the population.
An increase in the proportion of elderly persons in the population leads to a growing pool of volunteers.This has been considered as a global advantage where the elderly contribute free labor to community and government projects after retirement.These elders are more comfortable financially（财政上）and find pleasure in giving back to their communities and countries.Besides,older people are more experienced than younger people,and they can make use of their experience to help uphold morals（维护道德）and values in a country.
What’s more,an ageing population has somethi ng to do with fewer children.This can save much cost because less money has to be used to meet the needs of fewer children and young people in the economy.This would
result in lower public education cost,lower health-care cost and other social programs that are provided for children by the government.
However,there are also a lot of disadvantages.For example,an increase in the proportion of the elderly in the population raises questions as to how best to support them after retirement.Also older people are more likely to suffer from illnesses,so an increasing number of sick persons will put pressure on health care,which might not be able to meet the demand.
Furthermore,an ageing population also increases competition for jobs,especially if the retirement age is extended（延长）.As older members of the population have a longer time to retire,young people will find it more difficult to find jobs.In this case,fewer innovations（创新）and changes take place in organizations because companies are limited to old ways of doing things.
So,in order to solve these problems brought by an aging population,careful long-term strategic planning is required.The elderly are important and they have much to offer in helping the young people to understand their purpose in life.An increase in social enterprises（规划）should be the trend to help get the elderly involved in young people’s lives.
