Every year, millions of people head to London's Trafalgar Square to see Nelson's Column, and the four lion statues that “guard” it.And during the London Design Festival, a bright red lion sculpture was added to the collection.
But this was more than just a statue: It had a large open mouth, with a LED screen inside it.At the same time, passers-by could type in random words on a screen close to the lion, which were used to produce an AI-created poem.The most interesting part of the poems lies in their randomness,as the words that people choose to enter include many things, such as the time, the weather and their mood.In the daytime, the finished poem appeared on the LED screen, but at night, it was projected (投射) onto the lion's body and the famous Nelson's Column, in a lovely light display.
Es Devlin, the sculpture's creator, was inspired by the history behind the four historic lion statues.Edwin Landseer, the designer of the lions, wanted them to look much more animated, but Queen Victoria refused his plan.This made Devlin wonder, “What if we could give a lion a poetic voice?” According to Devlin, although England has seen many poems about national identity in recent years, these works have been lacking imagination.“I wanted to make a piece that was poetic and collective,” he told BBC News.
After standing for almost 180 years, the purpose of Trafalgar Square has changed over the years.But thanks to the high-tech lion and its poetry, the square is standing the test of time.

Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year.What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well,one reason is the way they're treated once they get there.The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I”.Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed, and why it is successful.They are shown how each department relates to the whole.All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing “Traditions I”, the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific (具体的) jobs.No detail (细节) is missed.A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training.When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple and ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds...We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly.Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.”
Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park.Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes.For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive.The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.
All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous.Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world.As one long-time business observer once said,“How Disney treats people, communicates with them, and rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his success...I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully.It is what Disney does best.”

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I am the kind of guy who likes to have all my ducks in a row.I'm fairly disciplined (守纪律的) and expect the members of our family to do things in the most efficient way, like I do.
I especially like us to get to places on time.To help my family, I tell them the exact time we're going to leave.That means they have to be seated in the car, with all their shopping bags, lunch bags, and various pieces of gear (装备).I calculate how long it takes to drive somewhere and, if we're visiting someone, when we'll arrive.
When we were raising our children, we lived in the country, so there were many opportunities to drive to distant places and train everyone to leave at the proper time.One such “distance drive” was to hockey practice (曲棍球练习).The ice surface in the small village where we lived was not big enough for Bantam hockey, the minor hockey division for thirteen- to fourteen-year-olds.That meant we had to drive to the next town thirty miles away, on a winding mountain road.Naturally,I had to have the journey timed just right to get there on time.
To save time, I had my son Alex put on his hockey gear before we left for one of those drives.I could work a few minutes after school where I taught and then walked home in five minutes, in time to drive him to his practice.Meanwhile, Alex was supposed to be getting ready and putting on his gear.This did not always work exactly the way it should have.Alex did not have the same sense of discipline.
“Alex! Get going and get dressed!” my wife would call out.“Dad will be here in a few minutes!”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Usually, my wife organized him while I headed straight for the car, but on this particular day, I first went into the house to take a snack.____
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After driving for several minutes, I looked back in the mirror to finally say something._________________________________________

Usually, my wife organized him while I headed straight for the car, but on this particular day, I first went into the house to take a snack.Minutes went by.However, I didn't see Alex.“Where is that boy?” I wondered.I was very angry then.Impatiently, I got into the car and closed the door.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Alex sitting in the back seat, but was too angry to say anything.This day, I drove a bit faster than usual, fearing we would be late for the hockey practice.Alex needed to make the most of every minute of his time on the ice.
After driving for several minutes, I looked back in the mirror to finally say something.“What?” Where was Alex? I was sure he was in the car.Looking back again, I saw that what I had thought was Alex's head with his helmet on was really a basketball under the window.I was already twenty miles away.I had no choice but to turn back.When I got home, I found that Alex was waiting in the driveway, not knowing what to make of this turn of events.
