(2024·广东省七校联合体高三第一次联考)Have you ever fancied a tennis lesson from one of the world's greatest tennis players at your local court?
This dream came true for two young players, who got to train with 20yearold superstar Emma Raducanu after she appeared as a hologram—a photographic recording of the image. While Sam Clague, 14, and Diamond Paisley, 12, were both in London, the British number one was in Abu Dhabi.
During the world's first holographic lesson, Ms Raducanu's avatar appeared to feed balls to the players and gave live feedback on their shots, like “that was fast and there was lots of topspin on that”. Even Sam said he thought she had been prerecorded at first until she spoke with him directly.
Their holographic training session offers a glimpse into how advancing technology could revolutionize tennis coaching, according to Dr Ian Pearson.
Dr Pearson thinks that mixed reality headsets will soon allow tennis players to feel they are playing in unusual virtual environments, like on a space station or the middle of a lake. Through 5G, the future of tennis will see increased interaction between real life tennis courts and the rich imagination we see in computer games—playing whenever, wherever and whoever you want.
Full sensory virtual reality could even place the viewer inside the tennis player's shoes in real time. Dr Pearson said: “By 2030, with active skin technology, the playing styles and even the sensations of toplevel players could be captured, so that anyone could experience how it actually felt to play that game through full sensory virtual reality.”
Finally, sportswear made from smart materials could allow for a digital coach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide feedback on a player's form. Dr Pearson said: “AIcontrolled suits made from smart materials, such as fabrics with sensors, can help players find the perfect stroke when hitting or returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memory of a flawless forehand. Using direct feedback from friendly virtual AI coaches, new players can develop and learn much more quickly.”

(2023·辽宁省名校联盟高三质量检测)Good Morning Britain (GMB) launches special “listening benches” in order to solve loneliness. EastEnders star Maisie Smith joined Susanna and Martin in the studio to talk about her involvement in a special part of the 1 Million Minutes campaign—GMB's special “listening benches” across the country.
Six special “listening benches” have been designed by six celebrities, and can be found in six cities across the UK—and they're in place to encourage people to strike up a conversation. Maisie joined the show to share why the campaign is important to her.
“I'm always very open about mental health,” Maisie explained. “It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, what you have—everyone is going through something and I just think the world would be a kinder place if everyone understood that.”
“I think especially growing up in the limelight (引人注目) as a teenager, you're very judgemental of yourself when you do see comments of other people judging you. It can add to the stress of the things you are already going through. I think people do think I'm confident because I cover my nerves with a big smile and that's what I've been doing in my whole life.”
Susanna asked Maisie if she had a technique for dealing with her nerves. “It depends on what it is,” said Maisie. “A lot of the time—and it's going to sound really stupid—but I write a script. I write down all of the questions that I could be asked and try to come up with something so that my brain won't go blank when I'm under pressure.”
