Have guitar, will travel

We have two sing-along items planned (one of them aimed specifically at kids). Unfortunately, one organizer had to leave for some personal reasons, so we need one or two people. We are happy to discuss what we had in mind, but this can be run in any way you want.

Have questions, can point

We have two panels(專家咨詢組）for this year: panel on writing and panel on story archetypes(原型）.

3．閱讀下面短文并回答問題（請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求）．
[1]It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week，and the current amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years to come．This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves，and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this．
[2]Why has there been such growth in televised sport？For one thing，with digital broadcasting，there are now many more TV channels than there were even ten years ago．Moreover，sport has become an important form of entertainment，appealing to both men and women．
[3]When are the benefits of this state of affairs？One obvious advantage to the profession is the addition of money provided by television companies．Large football clubs benefit financially from TV income and the top players can command very large salaries．Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in training and awareness-raising．What's more，there is a health benefit to some of the population，because through televised sport，more people have become interested in actually playing sport．
[4]However，    if so much sport is on television．Considering football again，many small clubs have suffered financial losses recently，as they cannot compete with the large ones．There has been a general falling in ticket sales，especially among smaller clubs．Fewer people attend live matches nowadays，preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room．And ticket prices have risen greatly．
[5]To sum up，while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain people and clubs very much， it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports events for ever．

76．What is the main idea of the text？（no more than 8words）Advantages and disadvantages of televised sport．
77．Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2．（ no more than 3words）digital broadcasting．
There has been a great increase in TV channels in the past few years with the help ofdigital broadcasting．
78．Point out the advantage of televised sport which does not concern money in Paragraph3．（no more than 3words）A health benefit．
79．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4with proper words．（no more than 6words）There are/will be （some）disadvantages，
80．What does the word"it"（Line2，Paragraph5）probably refer to？（no more than 3words）televised sport．

There is no doubt that many parents want to mold (塑造)their child to be better, faster, smarter and more skilled. Even though human parents can’t do that, a robot that builds its own children can. Scientists at the University of Cambridge in England have created a mother robot that not only creates its own children, but tests out their performance.

The mother robot analyzes(分析)the performance of each of the “children” it creates, and passes down good characters to the next generation

For example, as the mother creates them and puts them to work, she measures how they’re behaving, and she uses data from this behavior to create the next generation of robots.

The mother robot can actually build hundreds of child robots and see the performance of these child robots. And if their performance is good, keep their design for the next generation. And if bad, just let it go.

“We program the robots based on some functions that define(規(guī)定)the reward the robots are going to get, depending on the construction that they make. They cannot change their own reward. For the child robot, the longer the distance the robot walks, the better the reward it receives,” said Fumiya Iida, the lead researcher.

After several generations, the “children” were running twice as fast.

“The mother robot produced 500 robots to see which one is good and which one is bad,” said Iida.

The researchers believe that the machines can be used in a car factory, for example, where robot cameras examine each ear in production line, find out any mistakes, and then design a better car.

1.What is special about the mother robot?

A. It can analyze data

B. It can create child robots

C. It’s smarter than human mothers

D. It can build and improve its own children.

2.How does the mother robot mold her own children to be better?

A. It teachers them how to behave better.

B. It reprograms the bad ones after analyzing their performance

C. It copies hundreds of child robots and then chooses the best ones.

D. It keeps the good characters for the next generation to create a better robot.

3.What is the key point in influencing the child robot to receive a reward?

A. Size B. Distance.

C. Behavior D. Speed.
