When we interviewed what the life was like more than 70 years ago, many old soldiers were full of tears in their eyes. They told us that they never forgot those days when they were in the army, during which they lived hard lives but spared no effort to fight against the enemies.
Now in the year of 2015 comes the first great parade (阅兵) in the 21st century. September 3rd is the 70th anniversary (纪念) of the victory of the anti-Fascist war. This day is considered as an important moment for China, as well as the world. 49 countries from all over the world, including South Korea and eighteen European countries attended this special occasion.
In preparation for the parade, the soldiers worked hard every day. In order to walk well in the three hundred meters distance on the Tian’anmen Square, they had to receive extremely strict training. Each day, they got up early in the morning and started the 10 hours’ practice.
When a reporter arrived, it was raining heavily outside, but none of the soldiers stopped training. The reporter asked, “The training is so hard but why does nobody give up?” “It is the first time for me to join in such an important ceremony. I consider it a great honor. I must try my best.” one of the participants (参与者) answered. In fact, everyone takes pride in taking part in the big parade because they want to show the spirit of Chinese army, the power of Chinese army, as well as the determination keeping the world in peace.
From the soldiers, we learned the power of dreams. If one has a dream, he will get over any difficulty that get in the way to make the dream come true.

Guess which city will be the host of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games? The two candidates, Beijing (together with Zhangjiakou in Hebei) and Almaty in Kazakhstan are waiting to find out who will win.
The International Olympic Committee Evaluation Commission (评估团) visited Beijing and Zhangjiakou from March 24 to 28, 2015 to see whether the two cities meet the standards for hosting the Games.
If Beijing wins, it will be the first city in history to organize both summer and winter Olympic Games.
The nearly perfect organization of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games showed the city’s abilities. The city would make use of old competition areas instead of building new ones. Beijing plans to host most of the ice events in six existing venues (赛场) including the Water Cube.
Snow events will be held in Chongli County in Zhangjiakou. The county, about an hour’s ride from Beijing, has over four months’ snowfall a year, which would provide enough snow for the competitions. Moreover, the winter temperature there is suitable for the Winter Olympic Games.
But a problem may get in the way — haze (雾霾). It will be a disadvantage for Beijing.
Competition for holding the Olympics is always strong because it influences the host city and its people deeply.
“If Beijing wins, it will help improve transportation in the two cities and reduce Beijing’s air pollution,” said Beijing mayor (市长) Wang Anshun. “Around 600,000 jobs will be created. The events will also encourage more young people to take part in winter sports.”

We often praise the world of science.
It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，简写为AI).
However, one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.
“The development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.
This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful. However, Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass (超越) human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be.
But not every scientist is pessimistic (悲观的) about AI technology. “I believe we will be in control of the technology for a long time,” said Rollo Carpenter, a scientist from the UK. “
| A．The advantages of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized. |
| B．This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans. |
| C．Hawking is a well-known British physicist. |
| D．Many TV shows and films show killer machines that are far cleverer than us. |
| E．The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next. |
