The appearance of text-to-video artificial intelligence technology, Sora, has the potential     1     (change) advertising, movie and short video industries.     2     a new AI model developed by the AI research company OpenAI — creator of chatbot ChatGPT, Sora has recently made a     3     (stun) hit all over the world. It adds the multimodal large language model,     4    possesses the ability to generate high-resolution video clips     5     (base) on given text prompts(文本提示). Sora is a future development direction for generative AI, and will add strong power to a new round of industrial development.

Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while it     6     (maintain) visual quality according to users’ instructions. It is able to generate complex scenes with multiple     7     (character), specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background.     8    model understands not only what the user has asked for, but also how those things exist in the physical world.

Liu Xingliang, director of the Beijing-based Data Center of China Internet, suggests that more resources should     9     (put) into accumulating more training data, improving computing capacities and cultivating talent in the field of AI-powered video generation models. Anyway, Sora is     10     (definite) a major breakthrough for AI.

When I was growing up, I do not recall     1     (hear) the words “I love you” from my father.

Have you ever paid attention to your school’s security guards? Would you say “good morning” to the cleaners? For Ding Jiacheng, a boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School,     1     is a problem that many students ignore the important jobs done by these non-teaching staff. He wanted to make     2     change.

Ding worked on a project called “The Invisible Are Significant”,     3     (hope) more students would respect the “invisible” staff. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition     4     (hold) by Harvard and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to explore important     5     (globe) issues and focus on solutions.

To investigate students’ attitude     6     this group, he designed a questionnaire. “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers,     7     only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so,” said Ding.

The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by them and have few     8     (chance) to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding’s team     9     (shoot) videos to show staff working on campus. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their interaction.

“Explore and understand society in practice, and influence the people around us. That’s     10     the meaning of the project lies,” said Ding.
