Crowds of people sprinkle (洒) each other with colored powder and organic paints as a sign of goodness and good luck.

The most romantic city in Italy fills with bright colors and sounds of music every year at the end of February.

When I was young, I loved paper cutting and I was pretty good at it. As I grew up, I became busy and didn’t have much time for it. Later, I stopped doing it.
However, the news I came across online touched my heart and changed my mind. A little girl from Jieyang, Guangdong was practicing lion dance when a professional lion dance performance team (专业舞狮表演队) passed by. As soon as they saw the girl practicing, they started to beat drums and gongs for her and quickly she did a lion dance in return. People around all cheered for her. Her love for the ancient Chinese culture evoked my strong memories of paper cutting.
I remembered the happy times of making paper cuttings with my teacher and friends in the club. When I was ten, I joined the paper cutting club. Every Monday and Friday, I learned to make paper cuttings there. Our teacher, Ms. Li, was very talented. With a pair of scissors and a piece of paper, she could create lively works (作品). That amazed us. And we learned much from her. Together, we created lots of works. They covered many topics, including animals, flowers and things about Chinese history. Every time we held a paper cutting show, our works attracted many visitors. The girl in the news encouraged me to go on with paper cutting. I want to be an inheritor (继承者) of the ancient Chinese culture. Together with other inheritors, I hope to pass down our excellent culture.

In recent years, AI has developed at a speedy pace and changed many areas of our life. The music industry is one of them. Today, AI can do a lot of work for music. It can write songs, create melodies and make simple music in a short time.
Some musicians are in favor of this new technology. AI enables them to boost their working efficiency and create new pieces of music. For example, a singer can adopt AI to make a basic beat first. Then they add their own lyrics and feelings or epiphany to the music. In this way, AI becomes a helpful tool for them.
However, other musicians are worried. They claim AI music may take away their jobs. They believe real music comes from human stories, personal experiences and emotions or feelings, which also reflects their outlook on life and the world. Real music can cure people’s broken hearts and remedy their soul. Or at least real human music can fulfill their inner heart. In this way, machines can never truly understand the essence behind the music, creating robotic music. What’s more, people don’t know who owns the copyright of AI-made songs, due to which some conflicts about the issue of copyright will happen in the near future.
Although there are worries, AI is already around us. It is changing how people make, sell and listen to music. Many music industry leaders believe that humans and AI should work together. If we use AI in a right way, it will help us make better music for the world.
8. What can AI do in the music industry according to the passage
A．Help cure people’s broken hearts.
B．Write songs and create melodies.
C．Understand the essence of music.
D．Solve the copyright problems.
9. Some musicians are in favor of AI because ________.
A．it can improve their work efficiency
B．it can bring in more money for them
C．it takes the place of human musicians
D．it can create music completely on its own
10. Which of the following is one reason why some musicians worry about AI
A．AI music lacks real human emotions.
B．AI music is too expensive to make.
C．AI makes music production slower.
D．AI can hardly make simple music.

B．People hold different opinions on AI in music.
C．Real music can no longer satisfy listeners.
D．Copyright issue is the only problem of AI music.

The feeling of magic around Christmas is something many of us remember from childhood and spend the rest of our lives trying to recreate. Warm childhood memories of writing letters to Santa Claus still lie in our heart. There’s something about the “Christmas feeling” that everyone recognizes. But why is it so hard to experience it as an adult Has Christmas changed Is it really a Christmas feeling, or just a feeling of missing the past
Katie Carhart, a clinical psychologist, said, “As adults, they feel different, because instead of just enjoying the joy, they’re making it. They’re responsible for making the magic and continuing the traditions — from cooking for hours, shopping to wrapping gifts until late at night, which comes with pressure, high expectations and stress.” She also explained, “Adults are not always missing Christmas itself as much as they’re missing how it felt when life was simpler and they weren’t responsible for making it happen.”
A recent survey from major U.S. mental health provider, LifeStance Health, found that 75 percent of respondents (调查对象) think some planned holiday gatherings feel like duties rather than something they want to attend. It also found that 69 percent of respondents feel at least some pressure to appear happier than they actually are during the holidays, with 34 percent of millennials (千禧一代) and 35 percent of Gen Z reporting a high degree of pressure.
However, Marcum, a psychologist at AMFM Healthcare, encourages adults to do things to make the time feel more magical and less stressful. Consider the things that mean the most and attach primary importance to them. He also advises people to set boundaries and not to feel the need to attend every social event, hit every holiday item on the bucket list. Setting boundaries helps to reduce burnout.
12. Why does the author mention childhood memories of Christmas
A．To explain why people try to recreate the magic.
B．To contrast past warmth with present difficulty.
C．To show Christmas is the most important festival.
D．To prove children enjoy Christmas more than adults.
13. What do adults actually miss according to Katie Carhart
A．The simplicity of childhood life.
B．Making delicious holiday meals.
C．The changed Christmas traditions.
D．Buying presents for family members.
14. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 3
A．To show gatherings are popular.
B．To prove holiday stress is common.
C．To explain avoidance of social events.
D．To compare different age-group pressures.
15. What is Marcum’s advice to avoid holiday burnout
A．Stick to traditions firmly.
B．Prepare holiday items early.
C．Solve key things and set limits.
D．Attend as many events as possible.
