A study shows DeepSeek-R1 is the best, and it shows that smart ideas are more better than big spending.
DeepSeek-R1 is free to people. On its first day, over 19,000 computer experts (专家) in the world start using it. A German scientist says, “Using R1 for experiments (实验) costs only $10, but other AIs need $300.” Even a Meta scientist in the U. S. says, “This AI can change the world.”
U. S. companies are now worried (担心). Meta wants to spend $65 billion more in AI research. Experts say China is an AI leader now. It means China is the best in AI now. A Nature report says R1 is the best, and it shows that great ideas are more important than expensive tools.
A DeepSeek worker says, “We want everyone to use AI, not just the rich people.” With R1, China shows that great things come from new ideas and hard work, not just money.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题或者翻译画线部分。
You may know the painting Along the River During Qingming Festival (《清明上河图》) by an artist called Zhang Zeduan in the Song dynasty. Over 300 students from Nanjing Zhonghua High School worked together to recreate this famous painting.
The students’ art teacher Ma Min found a high-definition (高清的) picture of the painting, divided the painting into eight parts and gave each part to a different group of students. Then, Ma joined the parts together to form the finished painting, which is 84 centimetres wide and 20 metres long.
The students began to work on the painting last September. It took them about three months to finish it. They had to use their imagination to fill in details and make sure that one part matched another both in the form and in the painting style.
The students did a lot of research and made some interesting findings. Li Zixuan, 13, was asked to paint the busy streets along the river. She learned that pillars (柱子) were used to create boundaries near the river. Shops were not allowed to open across this boundary. Otherwise, they would be punished with beatings.
“Historical inheritance (传承) and their own thinking are very important,” Ma said. “This is their own artistic creation.”

例文
Dear Wei Ming,
I’m very glad to hear from you.
I have changed a lot in the past years. In the past, I was short, heavy and I didn’t wear glasses. I was shy and quiet. I disliked fruit and vegetables, never liked P.E. class and never played sports after school. I also found English difficult and even failed exams. Now I’m tall, of medium build and outgoing. I wear glasses, eat healthily, play basketball after school, and with better learning skills, I do quite well in English now.
Best wishes for you!
Yours,
Li Hua
