2、 Thursday 中秋节与感恩节
Family is very important for everyone, no matter where you are from. So in both theEast and the West, people have festivals to celebrate family reunions. These festivals include theMid-Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving Day in the US. How are they celebrated and what are the differences? Let's take a look.
Sharing the moonlight
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important traditional festival in China after the Spring Festival. It's on the 15th day of the eighth month of Chinese lunar calendar. In ancient China, the day was considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been collected from the fields. All the family got together and had a big dinner. They at e a special festival food— mooncakes and enjoyed the full moon.
On that day, the moon is full. The full moon is a symbol for family reunions which means tuanyuan in Chinese. Now people also celebrate the festival by getting together and having a big dinner.
When it gets dark, people look up at the full moon, eating mooncakes and missing friends and relatives who are far from home. "We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart!" wrote Su Shi, a famous SongDynasty poet.
Showing thanks
Thanksgiving Day is one of the biggest holidays in the US. It's on the fourth Thursday ofNovember. People visit their friends and relatives to remind themselves that they are lucky to have happiness, health and family and also to have a roof over their heads.
In 1621, about 100 English people took a ship, the Mayflower, and arrived in the northeastern US. The winter there was very cold and life was hard. As the American Indians helped them a lot, the English people asked them to have a big meal with them in order to express their thanks. The celebration lasted for three days.
Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving Day. They enjoy delicious food such as pumpkin scones and a big, golden turkey.
There are other traditions on the day. For example, the turkey has a V-shaped bone in the breast. It's called a wishbone. After roasting, two persons each take one end of the bone. They make a wish and then pull it. If one gets the larger part of the bone, he or she will get good luck.

Do you know" digital pickles"? Recently, this new type of pickle is being discussed. Itrefers to the videos people watch while eating. Many people think that the videos can make their food more appetizing, just like a spoonful of pickles sometimes making a meal taste much better.
The topic received more than 16 million clicks on the Internet and about 100, 000 people joined in the discussion. Instead of having meals with friends and family members, many young people in China like to watch TV shows or short videos. Many believe that their food is tastier with the" digital pickles".

To find out the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: One group at e while listening to an audio clip about another person eating, and the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. The results showed that the second group ate less since they were more focused on their meals. When we eat with the"digital pickles", our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.
Not only videos and audioclips but also other tasks can work as "digital pickles". Aresearch project led by the University of Sussex. UK, pointed out that activities which require lots of attention trick many participants into overeating. The team invited 120 participants to do different tasks while providing them with drinks and snacks. "Our study suggests that if you' re eating or drinking while your attention is distracted by a highly engaging task, you' re less likely to be able to tell how full you feel, " one of the authors Martin Yeomans explained.

14、 Tuesday 未来替代智能手机的发明
Smartphones are getting boring. The new models are either a bit faster or have bettercameras, but they are basically no different from the ones already in our pockets. This is why scientists are hoping, and working for something new, something that will change our lives just as greatly as smartphones do. At the moment, the next invention might be smart glasses.
Just imagine. Instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen, all of the information you need simply appears just in front of you, in your glasses. Satellite navigation directions would appear right there on the road. And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!
Smart glasses could also be used in industry. They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly. A doctor could carry out a difficult operation, guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world. This may sound impossible. But most of the technologies to invent them are already there. For example, one key technology is named AR, which can make digital 3D objects appear as if they are part of the real world. We' ve used it a lot on our video calls. Similarly, huge progress has been made in spatial audio. This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place, like what you hear in an empty room. Some high-end earphones can already do that. Future glasses will of course need to recognize your voice to do tasks. This technology has been used in our daily life.
So, why aren't we all wearing smart glasses yet? So far, no one has invented a good way to send images of our world onto glasses. However, with the rapid development of technology, smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.
(1)、Why does the writer mention smartphones in Paragraph 1?A、To start a story. B、To explain an idea. C、To introduce a topic. D、To discuss a problem.(2)、What are Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 mainly about?A、When smart glasses might be made. B、Where smart glasses could be used. C、How smart glasses would give directions. D、Why smart glasses should be changed.(3)、Which of the following technologies needs to be improved to invent smart glasses?A、Making spatial audio. B、Recognizing voices. C、Creating digital 3D objects. D、Sending images onto glasses.(4)、How might the writer feel about the future of smart glasses?A、Bored. B、 Confident. C、Satisfied. D、Unsure. -

18、 Monday中国首个文字转视频大模型 Vidu亮相
China's first Sora-level text-to-video large model called Vidu has made big steps forward since it was shown at the 2024Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing.
Now, Vidu can make 32-second videos with just one click. It can also make audio and video, so the videos it makes have sound. At the same time, it can do 4D making, which means it can make 4D content that is the same in space and time from one video.
Vidu was made by Chinese AI company Shengshu Technology and Tsinghua University. When it first came out in April, it could make a 16-second high-definition video with 1080p resolution with one click.
At a forum in June, Professor Zhu, Vice Dean of the Tsinghua University ArtificialIntelligence Research Institute and Chief Scientist of Shengshu Technology, showed a 32-second video made by Vidu. The video showed a turning globe on a bookshelf in a library, and the camera zoomed in to show a blue planet inside the globe.
Vidu 4D can exactly rebuild 4D content from one video. Zhu said the basic structure can support the making and matching of audio of any length in theory.
The company said it's China's first video large model with a longer time, very good consistency, and dynamic ability, and it's"very close to" the level of Sora.
Sora is a generative AI model from the US-based OpenAI at the start of this year. With the ability to make real and imaginative scenes from text instructions, the model has made a big impact on the tech world. The company also said the main structure of the large model started in September 2022, which was earlier than when Sora used its structure.
(1)、Which of the following is true about Vidu?A、It can only make 16-second videos. B、It was made by a single company. C、It can make videos with sound. D、It was first shown in June 2024.(2)、We can infer from the passage that____.A、Vidu is better than Sora B、Vidu will replace traditional video making methods C、the development of Vidu will have a great impact D、no other models can compete with Vidu(3)、The writer mentioned Sora in the passage ____ .A、to show Vidu is completely different from Sora B、to emphasize the importance of Sora in the field C、to highlight Vidu's similarity and progress compared to Sora D、to prove that Sora has no advantages over Vidu(4)、The purpose of the writer's writing this passage is ____ .A、to introduce Vidu and its features B、to compare Vidu with Sora C、to explain how Vidu was developed D、to show the importance of video models(5)、Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?A、The Rise of Vidu:A Chinese Sora B、Vidu vs Sora:A Battle of AI Models C、The Future of Video Making with Vidu D、The Secret Behind Vidu's Success -
