This winter, guests will have the unbelievable opportunity to stay in the northernmost hotel in the world known as the North Pole Igloo Hotel. However, it does come with two rather large catches. The first is that it will only be available for an extremely limited amount of time. The second is that it will cost $100,000 for a three-night trip.
But, that $100,000 certainly comes with few perks(额外待遇）．
“North Pole igloos hotel concept is movable, sustainable, but still a little extreme," the hotel explains on its site. “Depending on weather conditions we move the heated glass igloos to most safe places around the arctic glacier. You can join the group of very rare people who have spent a night at the North Pole's glacier.”
It further notes, the hotel is only open on request in the month of April, but guests can also stay at another location on other dates.
So,what do you get for the money? The hotel comes with a two-night stay in Svalbard before a two-hour helicopter ride to the North Pole ice camp. Guests are then transported to the glacier and to check into their igloo hotel.
“We provide all of the equipment,"Janne Honkanen,founder of Luxury Action."But you definitely need to have the spirit of an explorer or scientist.”
Guests are “almost guaranteed” to get a great viewing of the Northern Lights as they are still incredibly active in the area throughout the month of April. If you've got the money to burn and the spirit to match, book it now.

Movie fans know that their action hero Superman does not really fly．And, in the movie Superman Returns, another visual trick is played on viewers．The man they see flying is not real．He is what is called a virtual actor．The first step in creating this digital actor is to have a real person stand in a room called a light stage．A computer then captures the outlines and shapes of his face and records how they throw off light ．Paul Debevec is with the Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California．
“We can light them with very specially computer-controlled illumination(照明)and take photos of them from seven different viewpoints with high quality digital still cameras．”
Mr．Debevec is part of a team working to create computerized images of people, objects and environments that look and act real．The light stage permits actors to be turned into digital versions of themselves much like the blue creatures in the movie Avatar．The real world could soon be using a similar technology．Computer experts at the Institute are developing a 3-D video teleconferencing system．It would send a video image of a person into a meeting room．That image would be able to work with the people in the room, who would see it in 3-D without special eyeglasses．Paul Debevec says:
“The person who is being transmitted to a remote location can actually look around at the people in the room and everybody in that room knows who they’re looking at ．And that’s such a fundamental part of human communication．”
He believes the business world will begin to use3-D video teleconferencing in the next five years．” It’s also a medium with which young people today are particularly comfortable,” he said．A demonstration of an interaction between an earthquake survivor and students may be possible in a year．In 10 years, we may be able to play 3-D video games without special glasses．

【推荐2】Movies are a great means of entertainment for many. There are some advantages of watching movies. Comedies, for example, help reduce your blood pressure. Laughter for 15 minutes during a film makes your blood vessels (血管) Wilder. Besides, when you watch a sad movie, you’re more likely to come away from it thinking about loved ones and feeling happy about what you have.
Watching movies can make you creative. A study shows that young children, who watched the use of magic in Harry Potter, score significantly higher in a creative thinking test than children who watched something else.
Moreover, movies are very useful for strengthening peopled mental health. They enable people to take time to really relax and temporarily forget about their daily concerns and problems.
However, watching movies aren’t always beneficial. Studies have shown that some people get real pleasure out of being scared by horror movies, but in various ways they may be risking their physical and mental health without even knowing it. When you watch a tense scene in a movie, your heart rate and blood pressure increase. Meanwhile this change in your brain chemistry reminds you of times when you were in a similar state, even if you have no idea you even had those memories. So if something horrible happens to you, being scared again by a movie can unintentionally make you experience it once more.
Scientists, politicians and parents have debated for decades if being exposed to movie violence leads to actual real-life violence. Overall the answer to that is probably still up in the air, but a new study seems to prove that watching aggression on screen can contribute to being a bully (土霸) in mil life, even if it is just in the short term.
In conclusion, certain movies play a positive role, but not all movies do. It depends completely on the subject of the movie. So it’s always advisable to choose the movies concerning something positive.

【推荐3】Chad Nelson’s five-minute animated film (动画片), called “Critterz”, was shown online this week and introduces viewers to furry creatures that live in an imaginary jungle. It’s an early example showing the possibilities and dangers of using artificial intelligence (AI) in film-making, a development that both excites and worries Hollywood.
Nelson, an independent visual artist, didn’t use AI for the whole production. He wrote the script himself, and invited actors to record the audio and animators to bring the creatures to life. It would normally take a large group of members six full months to create the kinds of high-quality images (图像) in “Critterz,” its movie director Nelson said. But using OpenAI’s Dall-E, the process went much faster, only one week.
Independent film-makers and Hollywood studios have been early users of AI tools, which can create texts, images and videos based on plenty of data. These increasingly advanced products can save time and resources, their supporters say.
But the appearance of these tools is causing trepidation. A recent report said AI could have a great influence on the global economy and subject 300 million jobs to automation (自动化). Actors, such as Keanu Reeves, are raising alarm bells, saying the rise of generative AI (such as Dall-E and ChatGPT) is “scary” and could be a way for managers not to pay artists fairly.
Many Hollywood studios see this technology as a way to cut costs when making movies. Greg Brockman, the president and co-founder of OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, has argued that AI will improve cinema, allowing people to have interactive (互动的) experiences with art. He gave the example of the ending of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
Nelson said, “It’s likely that AI will replace (取代) some jobs in Hollywood while also potentially creating more.” He mentioned the appearance of computer-editing software, and how that replaced more traditional movie-editing jobs and processes.
1. What do we know about the film “Critterz”?| A．It was produced by HBO. | B．It is the first film to use AI. |
| C．Its images took seven days to make. | D．Its script was completely created by AI. |

| C．To introduce the company OpenAI. | D．To praise the advantages of using AI. |
| A．It may open up new job opportunities. |
| B．It may improve people’s job performance. |
