Carrying her beloved erhu, which had been passed down from her grandmother,17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris in July 2024. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years. However, the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation.
During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument's attractive sound. “It's like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking(拨) the erhu's strings. Inspired by each other's music,they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the crhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.
As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave

Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune“Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece“Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu's sad tones danced with the violin's vigorous melodies.
What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu andLyon through weekly“global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it's a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don't conflict; they compose something entirely new.

If you' re seeking a plain-language intro to statistics, or just want to get better at judging the reliability of numbers in the news, Spiegelhalter's The Art of Statistics is a solid crash(速成的)course. The book is less about learning how to use specific mathematical tools than it is about
学科网(北京)股份有限公司
exploring the numerous ways statistics can help solve real-world problems and why warnings are often added to statistical claims.
Spiegelhalter, a statistician at the University of Cambridge, keeps things lively by tying new concepts to questions. For instance, should you worry that eating bacon will increase your risk of bowel(肠) cancer? The relative risk might make you think people who eat a bacon sandwich every day have an 18 percent higher risk of bowel cancer than those who don't. But looking at the absolute risk——a rise of 6 to 7 cases per 100 people—— may put your mind at ease.
Spiegelhalter's narration is encouraging, and he makes complex sections easier to resolve by including frequent summaries and lots of data visualizations. The Art of Statistics is alive with his enthusiasm for how statistics can be used to collect information for court cases, city planning and a host of other sectors.
But Spiegelhalter warns readers not to forget the assumptions and uncertainties in any analysis, and tells many cautionary tales about the ways statistics can go off the track. For example, incomplete samples and logical missteps can lead to faulty conclusions.
Spiegelhalter doesn't let the media off the hook, either. Many of the questions he uses to introduce topics are drawn from misleading news reports. Such articles include one claiming that going to college increases your risk of getting a brain tumor, which mistook correlation for causation in data on socioeconomic status and tumor diagnoses.
The Art of Statistics leaves readers with a better handle on the ins and outs of statistical analysis. As Spiegelhalter writes, “Numbers may appear to be cold, hard facts, but... they need to be treated with delicacy.”
28. What's special about The Art of Statistics?
A. It offers a reliable course in statistics. B. It focuses on reasonable data analyses.
C. It warns the public of statistical claims. D. It includes effective tools for math learners.
29. What's the purpose in mentioning the example in paragraph 2?
A. To compare two dramatically different lifestyles.
B. To stress the importance of having a healthy diet.
C. To show an effective way to explain new concepts.
D. To relieve public concern over unreliable numbers.

30. What do the underlined words“off the hook” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Free from blame. B. Familiar to all.
C. In good condition. D. Out of control.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A. Spiegelhalter: A Real Fighter Expert at Data Analyses
B. The Art of Statistics: How to Avoid Faulty Conclusions
C. Spiegelhalter: A Statistician Against Misleading Statistics
D. The Art of Statistics: How to Think Critically About Numbers

Virtual reality (VR) technology from video games and GPS-like apps is now entering hospitals, helping
doctors work more safely and successfully. Dr. Ryan Broderick,a doctor at the University of California
San Diego, recently tested Apple's Vision Pro headset with“spatial(空间的) computing” during surgeries, becoming one of the first doctors in the U. S. to try this technology.
“With these headsets, we can project medical images into the real world of the surgery room,”Broderick explains. “We can make screens as big as a wall or adjust them to the perfect position.”This technology mixes digital images with real-world views, letting doctors see 3D models of a patient's body— like where a tumor(肿瘤) is— almost like giving them Xray view.
In the past, doctors had to frequently turn their heads to check screens during complex surgeries, leading to neck and shoulder pain. Now, spatial computing shows all key information right in front of their eyes. “It works like a car direction system—— highlighting danger areas or warning us to avoid important areas,” says
Broderick.
The tech also helps train new doctors. Teachers can use virtual screens to show body structures, point out key areas with glowing arrows, or even draw where to make cuts on a 3Dheart model. “Students can watch the teacher's virtual explanations, which is clearer than reading textbooks!” Broderick adds. This hands-on learning helps trainees master skills faster.
Top U. S. hospitals like Johns Hopkins are already testing similar systems. Though the equipment is expensive and needs software improvements, Broderick remains hopeful:“This isn't just new tools—— it's a revolution in healthcare. In 10 years, technology like this could help millions get better treatment.” From video games to life-saving surgeries, VR is proving that

cool tech can truly change lives.
32. How can headsets. help with surgeries according to paragraph 2?
A. By making the surgery room brighter.
B. By letting doctors avoid looking at screens.
C. By helping patients stay calm during surgery.
D. By showing 3D pictures of the patient's body.
33. What is one of the benefits of using VR for doctors?
A. It allows them to perform surgeries without any help.
B. It reduces physical stress and potential job-related pain.
C. It enables them to communicate directly with patients.
D It allows them to work without any medical images.
34. What is Broderick's attitude toward VR's future in healthcare?
A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. What is the future of VR in hospitals.
B. How VR is changing the world of surgery.
C. What challenges VR is facing in hospitals.
D. Why VR technology is important for patients.
